: Hi, Raven,
: Did you ask Holly at Henna by Holly [see the suppliers page on this
: site]? She is in Toronto; I do not know if she has indigo, but you
: might do well to ask.
: Another option is just to order directly from Catherine here. She
: ships very promptly. I have ordered from both of them and have been
: satisfied.
: I doubt that you will have much luck in finding decent henna, let
: alone indigo, anywhere else in Toronto. I work there just at the
: minute, and if one can find it at all, the usual run is stale Colora,
: LM, Logrona, LUSH, and whatever dodgy 'henna products' litter the
: shelves.Body art henna is supposed to remain frozen, if possible -
: not languishing in all conditions on shelves! If you know any Indian
: or Pakistani people, they may direct you to some stores where decent
: henna is available, but again you nay run the risk of poor storage,
: its containing green dye [to make it look fresh]or being stale.
: Sometimes it can be quite good, but you are safer to order from a
: dealer who states right on the packet of henna that this is 'summer
: crop, 2004' - so you know what you are getting. Forget about salons.
: Please let us know how things work out for you - we like to hear.
: Also, the more of us in different cities and countries know where
: decent henna is to be found, the more we can help one another. Good
: luck!
