If you are doing people who are used to henna, they will (for the
most part) be willing to do all the boring, time-consuming stuff that
makes the henna last so long. They will (likely) find the end result
of a lasting beauty worth the time it takes to be properly wrapped,
heated, and just the whole waiting thing. Indeed, people from a
culture that uses henna traditionally (may) find the process an
integral and important part of the final result. Using oils to
increase the color depth while reducing the wait time is a great idea
for impatrient people, but the design fades so quickly, I think they
may be disappointed.
Or they may just want a "quick 'n' sleazy" job, which is fine and
fun, too. I'd ask ahead what they generally do after the henna is on
and go from there.
