Jessica Strahan
Jhand Paints
The Artist
At BOTANICAL NAIL AND SKIN STUDIO we feature artwork from NOLA's premier painter and muralist native, Jessica "Jhand Paints "Strahan. Jessica is a self-taught artist. She creates portraits that amplify the African influence on New Orleans culture, from the city's neighborhood cultural practices to its shot-gun architecture and culinary traditions to its residents' facial features and hair stylings. Her paintings play in the parallels and dissonance between the past and the present to create windows into imagined futures. They investigate the meaning of home for people who carry both the ancestral memory and lived experience of mass displacement – due to enslavement and Hurricane Katrina.
Her paintings have been exhibited, collected, and published nationally, and her murals color neighborhoods throughout New Orleans.

Mariah HisleThe ladies were so calm, welcoming and joyful from start to finish. Their spa was clean and designed with intention to create a peaceful environment. We got a couples massage and both enjoyed it so much! They listened to our needs and preferences beforehand and then worked their magic! We definitely recommend treating yourself to a massage her.
Judy JuI found this spa through Google. I was helping my cousin find someone to do a microdermabrasion treatment via my recommendation for her skin. She absolutely loved her experience. Her words were “Erykah was the nicest and most gentle person ever. she made me feel extremely comfortable and relaxed. Definitely 5/5!”
Dayna WAMAZING self-care experience. Donica’s hands are magic. If you want to treat yourself to some amazing pampering, book a facial or massage at Botanical. You will be so glad you did, and you’ll look forward to coming back for the treatments, the ambiance, the smiles, the soothing playlist, I can go on and on! I wasn’t sure if I’d be able to find someone to do my Brazilian sugaring during my short term stay in Nola, and I’m so happy to have found Donica. She sugars me to perfection in no time, and is the most painless experience I’ve ever had while getting rid of my unwanted hair. A+++
Haylli StanleyWhere do I start! Everyone here is so sweet! I loved this place! Mya was my esthetician, she was awesome and wonderful, I came here for a sugar waxing but they do so much more here. I am coming back for a massage later and I cant wait 😁. I'm definitely coming back while I'm still down here, couldn't recommend it enough!
Lorissa ElliottJust got a 2 hour deep tissue massage this morning and it was so amazing. It’s so obvious how much thought has gone into this place, their way of doing business and how they perform their services. I felt so taken care of and cared about, which I have not felt at any other massage place. Also their massage room and the tools they use are exquisite and I’m so happy I have them a try, and so excited to go back to them again.
