People are often curious to know how I got into henna. I always had a fascination with the art form, but never dared to try it for myself. I would spend hours doodling on the sides of my notes, but never had the courage to pick up a cone. That is, until @saychowdhury literally forced a cone into my hand. We were at a school event about 10 years ago where a club had a henna booth set up. The artist had bailed and the club's board members were desperately looking for someone to fill in. "Mayisha does henna," Sayeeda calmly stated as she placed a cone in my hand. There was literally no time to protest as students started to line up. Sayeeda placed a cone in my hand for the first time 10 years ago and I've never let one leave my hand since. It's such an honor to call her a friend and see all the wonderful things she not only accomplishes but also pushes other people to accomplish. Check out this INCREDIBLE superwoman and all that she does! #managingmesincedayone . . *** Want to order fresh all natural handmade henna cones or inquire about bookings?

The stain is amazing and keeps getting darker (48 hours later). I remember when I first volunteered her as a henna artist at our high school event. I believed in her skills then and I love seeing her amazing artistry grow! Please support her work and reach out to her for your henna needs! https://www.instagram.com/p/Bnqzv8ll_is/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1w2za4v4anua0
