: : I usually keep a little baggie of alcohol prep pads in my henna
kit.

: Functionally great, but do your clients react emotionally? Even
: imagining the sound and then the feel of an alcohol wipe makes me
: expect a needle to follow. Unless you have them do it?

: Is there a good scent to add to alcohol that will oppose the
clinical
: feel/smell? Camphor, eucalyptus, menthol, and cloves all can have
: those associations for me. (To varying degrees.) Maybe lemon or
tea?

Yeah, I agree...whenever I smell alcohol I wait for a painful jab in
the arm. But we can also think of it this way: we are creating new
and happy associations with the smell of rubbing alcohol...people
will think of a wonderful henna experience when they go for their
shots!
