Dubai Henna

Offering both henna artistry and at-home kits, Dubai Henna has it all to offer. The designs can be traditional or avant garde but the brand excels at bridal looks – think ornate white designs embellished with crystals.

For Bridal Henna:

Henna by Haaria

Haaria’s work is one of the more traditional on this list but the designs are thoughtful, intricate and often extend all the way up the arm. She also has more than one string her bow – her elaborate detailing and level of care means she’s particularly popular among brides and bridal parties.

For Flawless At-Home Service:

Henna by Fathma Mohammed

Based in the UAE, Fathma is the go-to if you’ve got a big event coming up – especially as she runs an exclusive home service. Her bridal looks, across both feet and hands, are thoughtfully arranged and balanced, and her use of colour adds something special to each finished result.
