Our Story

The Haus of Henna is a Dallas-based collective of culturally-rooted henna artists led by founder Marena, a Palestinian artist specializing in freehand, custom body art. What began as a solo practice has evolved into a growing team, with each artist personally trained and mentored by Marena to uphold the same creative standards, cultural respect, and natural product integrity the brand is known for. We believe people are our medium, and that henna is both adornment and ritual—a celebration of identity, tradition, and beauty in all its forms.
