The story behind Goa's premier mehndi artistry - Where tradition meets innovation
Satisfied Brides
Unique Designs Created
Years of Experience
Welcome to Asifaa Arts – where the ancient art of mehndi comes alive through passionate creativity and cultural reverence. Founded by Asifaa, a dedicated henna artist with over 10 years of experience, our journey began with a simple dream: to preserve the rich heritage of mehndi while embracing contemporary trends and techniques.
Based in the beautiful coastal state of Goa, we have had the privilege of being part of countless weddings, celebrations, and special moments. Each design we create is a testament to the beautiful cultural tapestry that makes up India's artistic heritage, carefully adapted to reflect the personality and preferences of our clients.
At Asifaa Arts, we believe that mehndi is more than just a temporary adornment—it's a form of expression, a celebration of femininity, and a connection to centuries of tradition. Our designs range from classic bridal patterns rich in symbolism to contemporary minimalist styles that speak to modern aesthetics.
Hear what our clients have to say about their Asifaa Arts experience
Our love for mehndi drives us to continuously refine our craft, research traditional patterns, and innovate new techniques. Each design is created with heartfelt dedication and attention to detail.
We approach each client as a unique canvas, customizing our designs to reflect their personality, style preferences, and the significance of their event. We blend traditional symbolism with contemporary aesthetics.
We use only the finest natural henna paste, handcrafted from premium henna powder and essential oils. Our commitment to quality ensures rich color development and skin-friendly application.
Hello, I'm Asifaa, the founder and principal artist behind Asifaa Arts. My journey with mehndi began in childhood, watching my grandmother create intricate patterns during family celebrations. What started as a fascination evolved into a passion and eventually into my professional calling.
With formal training in fine arts and specialized study of traditional henna patterns from North India, Rajasthan, and the Middle East, I've developed a signature style that blends classical elements with contemporary design sensibilities. Each stroke in my work is deliberate, each pattern meaningful.
Having worked with hundreds of brides across Goa and beyond, I understand that mehndi is an emotional experience—especially for brides. My approach combines technical expertise with empathy, ensuring that your mehndi session is not just about beautiful designs but also about creating memories in a relaxed, joyful atmosphere.
When I'm not creating henna art, I'm researching historical patterns, experimenting with natural henna formulations, or conducting workshops to share this beautiful art form with enthusiasts of all ages.

From consultation to final reveal, our meticulous process ensures an exceptional experience
We begin with understanding your vision, preferences, and event details. We discuss design styles, placement, and special motifs you might want to incorporate. This can happen in person or through a virtual consultation.
During consultation, we review design portfolios and discuss your event's unique elements
Based on our consultation, we craft custom designs tailored to your preferences. For bridal clients, we often create preliminary sketches to ensure the final design aligns perfectly with your vision and complements your wedding attire.
Each design is thoughtfully created to balance tradition with personal style
The day of your session, we prepare fresh, natural henna paste and create a comfortable environment. For brides, sessions typically last 3-5 hours depending on design complexity. We ensure the process is relaxing and enjoyable.
Our application technique ensures smooth lines and consistent texture
We provide detailed aftercare instructions to ensure optimal color development. As your design darkens over 24-48 hours, we remain available for any questions. The final rich mahogany color typically lasts 1-3 weeks depending on care.
The rich color development is the rewarding final stage of your mehndi journey
At Asifaa Arts, our mission is to preserve and elevate the ancient art of mehndi through exceptional craftsmanship, education, and innovation. We aim to create meaningful connections with our clients, delivering not just beautiful designs but also an understanding of the rich cultural heritage behind this art form.

Beyond our individual client sessions, we are committed to raising awareness about authentic, natural henna practices and differentiating them from harmful chemical alternatives often marketed as "black henna."
We hold ourselves to the highest standards in every aspect of our work, from design creation to client communication.
We honor the cultural heritage of mehndi by using natural ingredients and traditional techniques while embracing innovation.
