The Art Of Henna
The Art of Henna has been around me from a very young age and to say it’s grown with me till now.
Up until I started college, I simply did henna because it was “Fun” that I could add to my hobbies list! It wasn’t until college started, but day by day I realized that it was a gateway to open it as a business and to say it is a “Therapy” for me.
For me, I believe doing the mehendi business helped me to develop my personality at a very young age.
