All-in-all, the club gigs may be best suited for Temptu
( www.temptu.com ) ..... it's really tough to catch and hold the
attention of a client who's boozy and on the make ... and they have
no damn memory at all after the 7th Tequila slammer. Henna really
DOES require that the client be sentient.

But, if you really want to do henna at a club, take many bottles of
liquid New Skin and a blowdryer or two. When the henna is blown dry,
have THEM paint on the New Skin carefully over their henna. That will
not only seal it down, but will get them to participate physically in
the care and appreciation of their henna. This MAY solve all your
problems in one shot. Liquid latex should work, but I would be uneasy
using it, as I have an awful record for bumping and slopping and it
RUINS clothing! If the club isn't so swealtering that you can use a
wrap, do one with beaucoup sparkles and glitters and an excuse sheet
so it will be a novelty and a laugh. The wrap IS useful in keeping
their paws off the henna until it's done its job. Otherwise, they
may be perspiring so heavily from dancing and drinking for New Skin to
be adequate, and you can not bother with a wrap.

Other club notes:
Have EVERYTHING written down in large letters in big books so you can
point to prices and pictures. No one in a club can be heard for the
deafening music. Have aftercare sheets to stuff in their pockets.
Keep all your patterns and such in those lovely plastic sleeve
presentation books, so they won't be ruined when your client puts a
wet drink on the page. Never go out with the originals of your
pattern sheets, take only copies, because someone WILL dump a drink or
a cigarette on the book at some point.

If you have a mellow club where the people are having a nice
civilized evening, you'll have a delightful time, and do some great
business! If you are in a club that goes straight to "booze up and
riot", you'll be fine till midnight, but after that, your clientele
may be so trashed that they're not much fun to deal with.
