A quiet study

Henna by Yara — brown, jagua and black designs done with patience, in Ottawa. Bridal, parties, festivals, and the small everyday kind.

02 — Hello

I’m Yara.

A self-taught henna artist of five years.

I’m studying Biomedical Science at university, so balancing school and henna has definitely been a new adventure. Even with a busy schedule, henna has always been the creative, calming thing I genuinely love doing.

What started with traditional brown henna has grown into work with jagua and black henna, so I can offer different styles for different moments.
