If I could give a rating with no stars, I would because thats exactly what they deserve. My girls wanted henna tattoos, so we stopped. Upon entering, we had to find someone to wake the henna guy up because he was sleeping. While applying the washable paint, made the comment several times about his “rough night”, last night. We finished their tattoos and had to wait for him to write our “ticket”. When I went to pay, my total was $130. I was shocked but didn’t argue because I didn’t ask but with a high price like this, I can’t be the only one ever in shock, you would think they’d say the price before doing the service. I told him I’d never paid that much for my real tattoos. He said he didn’t made the price, that the henna guy did. He said he’d give me a 20% discount. He charged me tax for a service so in the end he still got his $130. As the henna guy walked by, he said, you can tip me if you’d like. Hell with that price, I imagine I just paid his salary for the week. He said wait 30 min for it to dry & 2 hours before washing. So, here we are 5 hours later, we’ve washed it and the only thing left is the blue outline from the carbon paper he used to apply it. Buyer beware, the henna tattoo was as great as his service and as raunchy as the store smell.
Fantastic place you got to see it to believe it
Unbelievable. Absolutely unbelievable. While strolling took my two daughters for their first henna. Considering its a tourist area I assumed wed be looking at $15-20 or so. I figured we slide in about $40, I was hoping for less but figuring maybe its amount to A LITTLE more.Upon arrival I asked the man working the store what the price range for hennas were, he instructed us to ask the artist because he didnt know. We waited as he finished two girls hennas. He said you guys want tattoos? We said yes and jumped in without asking, still riding the assumption that it would be FAR less than what it was. My daughters got two VERY modest hennas. My 6 year old could have applied them I might add. Very basic with hardly any detail that required any work.He wrote the check to pay at the front and assured us that he strictly got paid on tips (clearly a suggestion).I saw the check and was taken aback when I thought it said 130/120 (and $10 ink fee and $10 service fee) that it actually meant (1) at $30 and (1) at $20. I was WRONG.The store clerk at the register told me it was $250. I asked him to reread the check to confirm the total was not in fact what Id interpreted.He assured me that was the cost and then told me that included a discount to boot. HOW generous! I told him I absolutely was not paying him $250 for 2 SIMPLE HENNA tattoos. I explained to him that I have paid far less for real ink far more detailed and laborious than this entailed.He sent us to the artist who took the check and said the best he could do (lets remember he only works on tips) was $130. Which was a steal because he took one of the two off entirely. And wrote off the other fees. That was the best he could do. I assured him again I am not paying $130 for the work and at this point I was ready to leave without paying a DIME.I left the store with my children and let my husband finish the transaction because, well, I couldnt.... He came out and the story ends as follows. My husband said this is what I am going to pay you, handed the man a $50. He stated, well I guess I cant say no. And we left.I have every intention to return to Barefoot Landing tomorrow to discuss this with the office and will contact the Better Business Bureau and possibly the local police just to let them know what this place is doing.$270 for two very small, basic henna tattoos. ***Which look like very faded marker stains 24 hours later after following the instructions given. Thanks, guys.
Tattoo artist was a rip off, supposedly suppose to last up to a month, it just flaked off within 2 hours, not worth $40. Tried to bait and switch earlier, said tshirt was $25, and when we got up to the counter it was over $40. I would never go here again and buyers be warned.
Milkshakes... That says it all
