Henna Artistry · Melbourne

It begins
with nature.

Hennaaz, henna and mehndi artist in Melbourne: handmade organic henna by Shehnaz.

I The Leaf

Every design starts on a branch.

Henna leaves, dried in the sun and ground to a fine, fragrant green powder.

II The Blend

Awakened with pure oils.

Blended by hand in small, fresh batches, then rested until the colour is ready to rise.

III The Cone

Filled by hand, one cone at a time.

Every Hennaaz cone is rolled and filled by Shehnaz herself, for a line as fine as thread.

IV The Art

Drawn freehand,
line by line.

03 From Oman to Melbourne

Meet Shehnaz

Shehnaz grew up in Oman, where henna is part of every celebration. She lived there for twenty-eight years before making Melbourne home, and brought the Gulf’s flowing Arabic florals with her.

More than ten years into her craft, she still makes every cone by hand, using her own organic henna. Her work moves easily between traditional and contemporary: intricate bridal hands, fine Arabic vines and minimal pieces that say more with less. Every design is shaped around the person wearing it.

04 Made by hand

The Hennaaz Difference

Most cones are made in a factory. Ours are made by hand in Melbourne, by the same hands that will draw on yours.

01 The henna

Handmade organic henna

Pure henna powder blended with essential oils in small, fresh batches. No PPD, no “black henna”, no chemical shortcuts. Just the deep, natural stain henna has always given.

  • Organic
  • Small batch
  • Skin-kind

02 The cone

Hand-filled cones

Each cone is rolled, filled and sealed by hand, so the paste flows evenly and the line stays fine from the first petal to the last.

  • Rolled by hand
  • Fresh paste
  • Fine-tip flow

03 The craft

Craft you can see

Over a decade of Middle Eastern, Arabic, traditional and contemporary work, drawn freehand and shaped around you. Natural henna deepens as it develops:

Kind Words

Shehnaz did my bridal henna and I can't recommend her enough! She was so patient with all my requests and the detailing was just incredible. Everyone kept asking me who did my mehendi. Thank you for making my big day even more special ❤️
Farheen · Bridal
Shehnaz is honestly such a lovely person! She made me feel comfortable from the moment I arrived. We chatted the whole time and before I knew it, I had this gorgeous henna design on my hands. Such a beautiful experience!
Amanda
Got my Karwa Chauth mehendi done by Shehnaz and absolutely loved it! The design was so pretty and the colour came out really dark too. She's definitely going to be my go-to for every festival now!
Vaishnavi · Karwa Chauth
What I loved most about Shehnaz is how creative she is. I showed her a couple of reference pictures and told her to do her thing. She literally came up with something even more beautiful on the spot! She's got such an amazing eye for design.
Radhika
Such a kind and gentle soul! I kept changing my mind about what design I wanted but Shehnaz was so patient throughout. She never once made me feel rushed. And the final result was absolutely stunning. Thank you so much!
Samia
I've had henna done by many artists over the years but Shehnaz's detailing is something else. Her lines are so neat and precise, especially the tiny patterns. You can genuinely see how much she loves what she does.
Saba
This was my third time getting mehendi from Shehnaz and she never disappoints! Every single time she comes up with something new. Her work is consistently beautiful and she's always so accommodating with appointments. Already looking forward to the next one!
