About Shimroos

Story, values & the hands behind the henna

Shimroos

My journey in art

I still remember drawing my first henna cone at age 12, on my cousin's hand. That spark never faded. Over 15 years later, I've been blessed to adorn hundreds of brides, mothers, and celebrations across the UK.

Every design I create carries a piece of my heart – from the initial sketch to the final dark stain. My studio is wherever my clients are: their homes, wedding halls, or outdoor mehndi nights.

I believe henna is more than decoration; it's a symbol of joy, love, and tradition. And I'm honoured to be part of your story.

What I stand for

100% Natural

I never use black henna or chemicals. My paste is handmade with organic henna, sugar, and essential oils.

Client‑first approach

Your vision matters. I listen, sketch, and adjust until you're thrilled – because it's your special day.

I come to you

From Oxford to London, Birmingham to Manchester – I travel nationwide to make your henna experience stress‑free.

Behind the scenes

I'm supported by a small team of passionate assistants who help during busy bridal seasons and group events.

Every cone is still mixed by my hands, and every design approved by me. My team ensures everything runs smoothly so I can focus on art.
