About Your Tutor

11 years behind the cone

Aqsa Dadan has spent over a decade building a henna practice from the ground up — bridal bookings, original design work, and a following built on Al Hinna, her Instagram henna page.

This course is the exact path she'd hand a talented beginner today: not just how to draw, but how to price, how to talk to clients, and how to turn a skill into an income.
