Rewind: Henna in the Heights

April marks the 2 year anniversary of this blog and a lot has changed since I started it. I've had a second child. That's a big one. I also got on Twitter, started a Facebook page and, as a result, have many more friends and neighbors reading this blog than were one year ago. As a result, there are some posts about great neighborhood businesses and people that many of you probably never saw. I thought every once in a while I might dig up and re-post something from the old archives, giving a second life to some old favorites.

Now that the warm weather is here, I start to think about henna! I love that I happened across this great Heights business. It's developed a fun summer habit, as well as a really nice friendship.

Henna In The Heights
July 9, 2009


I have to admit, I drive a little too fast up and down Yale. I think part of the reason is that I am never going anywhere actually on Yale. It’s not a destination for me. It’s a route. As I zip up to 19th Street or head south, avoiding the train on Heights, I miss things. I never used to think I did. There are the “antique shops” and the crazy, bright green real estate office. I thought I had a handle on what was happening on Yale. That was until I went down Yale as a passenger. And my husband doesn’t drive nearly as fast as I do.


We were driving along, and as I stared out the window all sorts of things popped out for me- most notably a store front tucked in to a spot that had never drawn my eye before. What grabbed me was not just the bright turquoise trim of the building, but also the poster of a hand decorated with traditional Indian henna tattoos. What was this all about? I was curious and couldn't wait to investigate.

The Original Henna Company store front on Yale, just over the fence/north of the newly renovated building that houses Anytime Fitness


As luck would have it, shortly after I was Freecyclinga bunch of stuff, I recieved an email from a woman named Soniya regarding an item I was unloading. That was luck, you see, because Soniya’s email signature says “The Original Henna Company, 1130 Yale St.” A HA!!

I popped in to her sort-of tucked away shop on Yale a couple weeks ago to get the scoop. I was delighted by all the gorgeous pictures of henna tattoos she had done. Some simple. Some elaborate. All beautiful. Before going by Soniya’s shop, I was aware of henna tattoos and their traditional use for Indian weddings, but I had no idea how many different reasons there are to get henna done. Soniya told me that she has a lot of people who just get it just because it’s pretty. People will come in with their own art work and she will duplicate it in henna for them. She has done heads of cancer patients and written scripture across people’s backs. One woman had her do a design down the entire length of her body. Just because it’s pretty. I can see that. She also has women come in to get henna on their pregnant bellies. One of Soniya's favorite belly tattoos is a gorgeous tree with the symbols for strength and patience on each side and the baby’s name written in Hindi on the trunk. I was bummed I had missed that opportunity to do something like this, having just had a baby less than 2 months before. Maybe next time (Did I really just say next time?).

Traditional wedding henna

Pregnancy henna


Another great customer base she has is people considering real tattoos. Henna is like a try-it-before-you-buy-it option. People who are considering something large or conspicuous can test drive their design by living with it for a couple of weeks before getting the needle. Parents have brought in teenage kids who think they want to have a tattoo. Brilliant. Henna gives you a real sense of what it’s like to have a tattoo without the permanence.

Some examples of henna as temporary tattoos.


Of course I wondered how Soniya and her henna came to The Heights from Sugarland. Was there a demand here for her services? Soniya is a 3rd generation henna artist and started training in India at the age of 5. She and her family moved to Houston (actually Sugarland) when she was 13 years old. Her mother and sisters still have a successful henna business of their own down there. Soniya’s years of training and experience in the family business are certainly obvious in the beauty of her work. Soniya said she and her husband were looking for someplace they could live and work and also raise their family. They found the building the shop is in and liked it, but knew nothing at all about The Heights as a neighborhood. She says she just got a good feeling about the neighborhood. She said it “was calling me.” When it feels right, it feels right. Of course, in traditional Heights fashion, neighbors were very welcoming. Sometimes people just pop in to say “hi.” She likes that it is a neighborhood that understands and appreciates all kinds of art. It’s a place where “ideas are communicated” and “people share.” Like me, she has had a lot of support from the local parents group, Heights Kids, as well.


Despite loving living here and having support from locals, the neighborhood doesn’t drive her business. You see, Soniya is not just an everyday good henna artist. She was telling me about all the events she goes to- trips to Mexico and Florida. She told me how Beyonce’s parents have her do henna at their big Christmas party every year. She has regular clients from sports teams locally and around the country. I was especially curious about this. “Are henna artists uncommon?” I asked. No, she said. They are very common, but Soniya has something special- skill and speed that come from years of experience. In fact, she was supposed to be trying for the Guinness Book World’s record for henna tattoo speed this year (She is able to easily do 50 tattoos an hour for events like wedding parties)! Guinness is going to have to wait though, since she is welcoming a new baby this fall.

Who needs jewelry?


When I was growing up, I can remember my mom putting “henna” in her hair. That henna, as I remember, was a powder. Henna dye used for the tattoos is the same base and concept but in a paste. It’s an all-natural recipe of ground leaves from the henna plant, eucalyptus oil, clove oil, lemon juice, red tea and water. All these things together make the paste, which is applied to the skin and allowed to dry. In a short period of time, the paste will fall off and the skin will have absorbed the stain. It will look orange at first but deepens to a dark brown. Soniya makes her own henna paste using henna plant imported from India from a company her family has been buying from for 50 years. Apparently it has a very low allergen possibility and is even used in other parts of the world to help heal skin conditions. Cool stuff.


The natural aspect of henna is important. Apparently, there is something out there called “black henna” and it is not something to mess with. This is the kind of thing you’ll find at places like spring break locations and tourist traps. The reason Soniya felt the need to make sure I knew about this was not just because it isn’t real or traditional henna. It’s actually dangerous. Rather than taking the time to make the labor intensive henna paste, these quickie henna shacks use a chemical dye, like hair dye. As you can imagine, this can cause a pretty nasty skin reaction. Watch Soniya’s interview with Click2Houston to see an example of what can happen and how to prevent it.

Soniya, who is expecting her 2nd child this fall (EDIT: Soniya is now the proud mom of 2, including a sweet little girl, pictured here in her belly).


My 12 year old niece is coming to visit in a couple of weeks and I can’t wait to take her to see Soniya for henna tattoos. You should really pop in to her shop sometime for a visit. It’s so comfortable and relaxing. If you think henna is pretty but aren’t inclined to get a henna tattoo, Soniya has beautiful canvasses of her own henna designs. She also sells traditional Indian jewelry and clothing. They have some upcoming expansion plans for the shop as well, and Soniya’s sister will be able to be able to offer additional aesthetic services like hair henna by the end of the year. I have a feeling that once I get one, Soniya might be seeing more of me.

Soniya is at the shop most days and appointments are also available.

ListeningRoom Series lives again with Live CD

Andrew Dansby March 17, 2011- Houston Chronicle

Five years ago, Chris Whitley, a restlessly creative musician who always put his muse ahead of any financial goals, returned to Houston to die. All Whitley had was two guitars, some clothing, a backpack and lung cancer. He turned to a friend, Corinne Tames, who managed him during the last year and a half of his life. She took him into her home and paid for the uninsured Whitley's medical care until he died on Nov. 20, 2005. Tames' own finances were shaken as a result. One month, Tames, a single mother with two daughters, didn't have enough money to make a payment on her house. The Musician's Benevolent Society of Houston made a contribution that helped her. "It was $1,000," she says, "and to me it was like I'd received $10,000. It was a really desperate time for me. And they got me over that hump."

She's paying back the favor this month with ListeningRoom Houston "Live". The CD - which features performances by Alejandro Escovedo, Terri Hendrix, Charlie Sexton, James McMurtry and others - is being released in a limited edition pressing of 1,000 copies at Cactus Music (2110 Portsmouth) and atwww.listeningroomhouston.com. All proeeds from the $16 album benefit the MBS. Furthering the sentimental value of the project, the 17 songs on the album were all taken from the ListeningRoom, a concert series that Tames curated for three years, mostly at the NiaMoves Studio. ListeningRoom shows were notable for their focus on the music since they were held in a yoga studio rather than a bar; there were no clanking bottles to be heard at a ListeningRoom show. "We were hoping to capture what the essence of that room was like," she says.


The series concluded late last year.


Sexton was a key figure in getting it started. He was a longtime admirer of Whitley's work, though Tames says that doesn't make him unique among the performers on the CD. "About 90 percent of the people who played ListeningRoom shows worshipped him," she says. "And they didn't even know I was connected to him in any way. They just loved his music." Sexton agreed to perform at two tribute concerts organized by Tames, one in Austin and one in Houston, in early 2006. They became friends, and he encouraged her to start the ListeningRoom in Houston.

Tames says the decision to shut down the series "was a tough one, but we had to make it for personal reasons as well as the economy." She says she still hears from attendees who wish it would return. She's hoping those with fond memories of the series will want the album, as it captures the feel of the shows there.


"Really if there's a moral to this whole thing that I hope people get, it's that you do the right thing and you do what your heart tells you to do, even in trying and difficult times," she says. "My situation seemed dire and difficult and hopeless and out of it grew wonderful friendships. So I'd love to sell all of these and for that money to go to help somebody else."

Our 1st Craftacular- Recap

Last Saturday brought some beautiful weather for the inaugural weekend of Second Saturday Craftacular, a new monthly art and craft market. The event, curated by Teresa O'Connor from Hello, Lucky and hosted by Davis Hardware, featured local artists, hand made goods, and crafty fun.

The market will run the 2nd Saturday of the month from 11 AM- 3 PM.

The monthly event kicked off on the small side with 10 vendors. This was, Teresa explained, to get an idea of what was working, what wasn't and generally work out any kinks early on. Next month, we can expect more vendors. We can also anticipate warmer temperatures- good thing some refreshing shaved ice will also be on hand.

With her shop right across the street, Teresa wanted to offer something different and fun for the Craftacular. Instead of already created items, Teresa packaged up some little craft sacks to help us all indulge our creative sides. For about the price of the change in your car's cup holder, there were all kinds of notions to be had.

Craft bags in the blue. Grab and go!

Vintage NatGeos were also available for repurpose in your next creative project.

A couple of other vendors I recognized from the shop, but some were also new to me. It was great to see a large collection of Sara Huffman's found block art. I've been thinking about sending one of these to my sister back East but never saw just the right one. I was drawn to the great colors and message of "intrepid" but also felt that "sublime" was nice. In any case, I didn't pick one up this month because my kids would have thought it was a toy for them. Next month I'll see what inspires me and send it on.


Another favorite local artist of mine, Lisa Chow was on hand with prints and art cards. She also made homemade chocolate chip cookies. You're not going to find that at a big box store! Lisa's illustrations are pure imagination. You can check out her Etsy store here but it's more fun to meet her in person and get some baked goods!


The other tables were all new to me. It was great to see so much diversity of product in such a small group. Each table was very unique from the other, keeping it interesting and focused. I can't wait to see what happens as this little market grows from month to month.

Frilled and Feathered. I love jewelry and am a sucker for hand made. I love anything one-of-a-kind or at least not mass produced. Frilled and Feathered had some really whimsical and creative pieces, but also plenty that would appeal to a more conservative wearer.



There were funky shirt options available for both men and women. Both genders had their choice of tshirts or printed Western shirts from Tupelo Grease Company. While women could wear some positivity on tops from Guli Essa's line "Self Apparel."

Men's and women's tshirts from Tupelo Grease Company

Self sufficient- just one of the positive messages from Guli Essa

More local artists were representing, including Garrett Arnold, who you may know if you hang out at Antidote at all. He had these great mixed media works and illustrations:


Funky art couple Sylvester Sanchez and Erica Bogdan were working their table and working up more drawings at the same time. Both are recent college grads who work in graphic design. It's great to see new faces represented and getting the work they love out there!


Lastly, if you've never been in Davis Hardware, you might not realize they are primarily a framing shop. Robert, whose family owns the shop, was representing with frames and mirrors, ready to answer questions. His aunt, Twila, was also out with some stamping supplies, offering demos.


I love it when people come together and strengthen the fabric of the neighborhood. It's so wonderful of Davis to host this event in their parking lot. The store is open until 1 PM on Saturdays and they are giving up 99% of their parking, but it's all about being part of the community and working together to support local business and artists. Who can argue against that?


Had to include my boys, who enjoyed the whole thing by running me ragged, touching every.single.thing.in.sight. The only time they would stand still was to make some faces in Davis Hardware's mirrors.

For us children of the 70s...

I just about tripped over myself when I saw this car for sale in the lot of the future Liberty Kitchen restaurant at Studewood and 11th. When was the last time you saw an AMC Pacer? When was the last time you saw any model AMC?

AMC had the funniest looking cars and they were all over my hometown (I think they used to have all wheel drive?). Seeing this brown bubble car made me totally nostalgic. I'm sure I'm not alone. There are plenty of people in the Heights who I think can appreciate this car as sheer awesomeness.


$3700
1978 AMC Pacer. With A/C!
