Meet the Artist
Twenty years of devotion to the art of bridal beauty
I am Tineesha Mari Olsen — a qualified somatologist, henna artist, and bridal stylist based in Somerset West. I have spent over two decades perfecting the art of Indian bridal beauty, honouring the traditions that make each wedding unique.
Every bride who sits before me carries a story. My purpose is to help tell it beautifully; through the intricate patterns of henna, the elegance of a perfectly draped saree, and the artistry of makeup that lets your natural beauty shine.

What Our Brides Say
Stories from the heart
The greatest honour is a bride who trusts us to be part of her most important day.
“When I chose Tineesha to do my bridal mendhi and wedding garlands, I didn't know I was going to get the warmth and professionalism that she showed as part of the package. She accommodated my many changes and made my very busy and overwhelming mendhi event so calming. My mendhi stain was beautiful and the design was amazing. She brought that touch of sparkle that every bride wants on the days leading up to their wedding. Thank you Tineesha”
