I would like to take this moment to save all brides from horrible experiences during your wedding time. I had booked Satish Bhaiya 3 month in advance given his honest nature and promises he made. To begin with trials are given from different people and there is a diff set who comes on day 0. For a crowd of 25+ female, he sent only two artists. One for bride and 1 single for the entire relatives/friends. Only bridal artist did a decent job whereas none of my relatives liked the design of the male counterpart artist. When it comes to budget, they decide on a rate but on day 0 they will charge any random rate per hand and my budget was overshot by 50% and since I didn’t want to fight a day before my wedding hence agreed to whatever amount they asked ( even tipped them). I would highly suggest don’t go for this artist based solely on the conversations. Not only I but best friend had a very similar experience ( her mehndi design was that of a child scribblings on wall ) but we were considerate in covid times and didn’t bargain anything & even gave him a second chance on my wedding. The mehndi came off within 4-5 days. It didn’t last till my reception leaving my hands dry because of the chemical used. A wedding is a beautiful experience and I have this bad memory of the entire duration
