Ritual By Design

I first met the lovely Sabreena at a friend’s baby shower a few years ago. She has a such a lovely way about her, not to mention does incredibly beautiful and unique work, I began following her on Instagram to keep up with her. Last August she did exquisite henna art on my hands to take with me to Burning Man. Multiple people saw my hands in the desert and knew who had done my henna! I loved the experience so much I asked her to come to my 30^th birthday to do henna for my friends and family. I am not exaggerating when I say she was the highlight of the party. When I looked at her artwork on my hands for the few weeks I was reminded of her kind, gentle soul and how much fun I had celebrating that milestone in my life. I can’t recommend her enough!

I use to be In love with this artist, but this last interaction wasn’t what I expected. I felt the appointment was more surrounding money and wasn’t so much about the art (complete turn off). Once she thought I couldn’t afford her quote she suggested I go elsewhere (which was 100% her bad judgement). The confusion was that I assumed the price was the same as last time, but it wasn’t. I was prepared to pay the difference (all before my appointment) even tho it was 25 $ an hour more & the original quote was 2&½−3 hours and the new one was 3−4&½ hours. A little turned off at this point but Still excited. I sent her the picture she asked for, so she could get an idea of what I wanted, and she instantly shot that idea down. She said she doesn’t feel comfortable doing that piece. Further into the convo she said she doesn’t want to replicate others work (Not what I was asking for at all) the last time I showed her pictures she created an original design out of someone else’s work. So I thought she could do the same thing. She made it clear that she didn’t want to work on me so At this point, I took her advice, and went somewhere else. I told her, «I don’t think you are that into doing this piece I would feel more comfortable going to someone else. She was extremely offended, and seemed to forget that was her suggestion in the first place… I was so excited to return, but I will never go back to her again. I could buy a thousand dollar piece but that isn’t the point. Even If you think a person can’t afford something (whether you’re right or not) you should still treat me with respect. Don’t act completely uninterested and think people are still going to want to be around you during a session that is suppose to be therapeutic to the soul. I give you 2 stars because it’s what’s on the inside that counts.

Sabreena is one of the best henna artists in the US. She has such chill vibes and is very friendly. Her talent is unparalleled and her pieces truly unique. She’s so creative, you truly will never regret getting your body adorned by her beautiful art.

Sabreena is truly a master at her craft, her precision is impeccable, and her creativity makes her brilliant. I’ve gotten henna done by Sabreena twice and both times I loved everything about it. You won’t be disappointed

Sabreena with Ritual By Design has done henna for me several times. Whenever I am getting ready for a special occasion, I treat myself to the beautiful henna designs by Ritual By Design. I have had henna done on my hands, my feet, my shoulders, my chest, my legs, and my side. The art always stays incredibly dark and is absolutely stunning to wear for weeks at a time as you go throughout your everyday life! Perfect for any vacation, big event, special occasion, and so much more. Something very special about Sabreena is watching her create perfect and symmetrical art, combining your vision with her own artistic expertise. Second to none!!!

Sabreena is one of the most amazing henna artists whose done work on me. She is so personable and friendly. She uses styleseat too so the booking/​cancelling is really easy. She is also so accommodating and really gives every person the individual attention they want and deserve. I’ve gone to her now for pregnant belly henna, festival henna and she’s even done a special healing henna session for my husband who has been dealing with cancer. Sabreena is talented, personable and is a GREAT choice for your henna needs.

Sabreena is off the chain!!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE! Coming from a customer service industry myself I appreciate her in every esthetic. Booking is easy to use and fast. Her space is comfortable and evolving (I’m excited to see what it becomes!). Sabreena is such a talented artist. Her skill is impressive and inspiring! I feel like I’ve found a hidden gem in SF :) I look forward to seeing her again soon!

Sabreena is such a gifted artist! She is such a lovely person to be around and the outcome of her henna will blow you away! I’d recommend her for any event you may have because she will certainly turn heads with her amazing style and passion!

Sabreena is sooooo talented. I cannot wait to be her canvas again soon!

Sabreena is incredible! So much attention to detail but also fast! I could not be happier :) Will use her again and recommend her to anyone!

Sabreena came into the office for a small group henna party. Each person requested a different design and each finished product was STUNNING. The amount of detail in each design was absolutely amazing and I wish I could have my whole body done! Sabreena was very quick and precise and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for an amazing henna experience!

Sabreena did an amazing job — thank you so much for everything!

Sabreena is amazing! Her work is just simply beautiful. She was very quick and took my friend and I on a same day appointment. If I was able to give her more then 5 stars I would because she is that good. If your ever in the Bay Area I highly recommend Sabreena for unique Henna work. Her work is worth every penny. I can’t say enough great things.

Meeting and getting henna done by Sabreena was so great! She is extremely talented, fast, and a pleasure to be around. Her work was flawless and exceeded my expectations. She takes an idea you present to her and creates something really beautiful. Can’t wait to go back again!

Today was my second time going to see Sabreena and she is so amazing. Warm personality, great attitude and humor. The first time I went to her I had no idea what to expect, but she made me feel comfortable right away. The first time I went in not really knowing what I wanted, but Sabreena was patient and showed me a bunch of business cards with past work that she done on them. From that I had a vague outline of what I wanted, but I really just wanted her to go with what she was feeling and it turned out beautifully. This time I went to her knowing I wanted a paisley theme and again she did a spectacular job. I highly recommend Ritual By Design.

Looking forward to booking my next appointment with this talented lady. Sabrina is an extraordinary artist who’s just going to keep on getting Better! If you have a special occasion to get Henna then I highly suggest you visit her. Her Hannah has truly become a ritual for me #goodluckhenna #spiritual #lucky

My first henna tattoo and I just LOVE it! I’m so glad I found Sebreena. She’s super sweet and talented. I love her designs. Pretty amazing details. I’ll definitely go back again.

I am so happy I chose Sabreena for my first henna experience. She is very laid back and has a calming soul. The experience was amazing and watching her create a design right before your eyes, you are truly watching a masterpiece come to life. She is very talented in what she does and is very enthusiastic about her work. You can tell she truly loves what she does and that is someone worth going to. I had my right arm done up to about mid arm. The appointment took about a hour to complete the tattoo. She vibes off of what you want when creating the henna, and comes up with unique and exquisite pieces of art. I cannot wait to go back and get another tattoo from her.

It was such a treat to meet this devine artist and have the chance to wear her beautiful art on my body. Sabrina was incredibly kind and welcoming which made me feel right at home, like I was visiting an old friend. She was very professional yet approachable, she included me in the design process which I highly enjoyed. I truly felt like a goddess with my henna adornment. Thank you Sabrina! Can’t wait for my next

Absolutely stunning, all the way around. Sabreena is a gem! Anyone who chooses to work with her will feel blessed by her friendliness, professionalism and phenomenal talent. She cares about your experience and informs you how best to care for your henna piece, which other artists don’t always take the time to do.
I’m absolutely a satisfied and returning customer.
