I can't wait to add the different skills I've learnt to my business... Totally worth it!"

"I received the 2 day course as a gift for my engagement and it was the best gift ever. Farrah is so friendly and made me feel comfortable and work at a pace suitable to me. From learning the history of henna, to designing your own canvas and how to start your own business, I came away feeling inspired. She taught me so much and really helped me understand the importance of finding inspiration. The course not only gave me confidence but the motivation to now work on my own designs and share these with the public. The passion Farrah has for henna really shows, and only makes you want to learn more. I have already recommended this course to so many people as I know her skills, beautiful personality and professionalism will impress them like I was! I know she will continue to support me and if I have any questions she is always happy to help! Thank you Farrah!

“Being trained by Farrah Azam was a highly rewarding experience. I was able to connect with her on a personal and professional level which allowed me to gain more than I expected. She was very humble and open with her own experiences and challenges to become the success that she is to date. I felt very inspired through the techniques that were learnt and I was successfully able to achieve a creative canvas design after my first session. Farrah has consistently been very encouraging and supportive since our training session which has motivated me immensely. I’m excited to keep in touch with her as i grow in the mehndi design industry”

“I did my course with Farrah a week ago, since then I’ve bothered her so many times with different questions but she’s always happy to give me the information I need. No matter what time it is!
When I first went sat down with her I felt so nervous, but within minutes I felt comfortable because Farah was so easy to get along with. I only did a one day course as I had knowledge in henna, but Farrah explained everything I found difficult. She showed me different techniques to use when decorating candles etc. She also spoke to me about the business side of it all, she helped me to get a better idea of how to get myself ‘out there.’
My day with Farrah went really well, I felt like I learned a lot and gained a lot of confidence.
I would definitely recommend the course to whoever wanted to learn about henna”

“I previously came across Farrah’s page on Instagram and was instantly inspired by her artistic talents and creativity. I contacted her and she was very prompt in her response. As well as discussing a personalised training program to fit in within the needs of my business on the phone, we had a very friendly conversation about how she could tailor the program for me. She encouraged me to prepare ideas and questions for which she could discuss with me during the first training session which I found very helpful. After attending her first session, I learnt so much about the origins of henna, where to research for inspiration and how to develop very simple techniques to create a beautiful henna effect on a variety of different surfaces and materials. As well as this, Farrah introduced me to a range of books from various artists to gain inspiration from. Farrah provided me with a pack of items to practice on which was exactly what I needed for homework and a great way for me to practice at home and show her what I had produced for our second session. Our second session was even more useful discussing business strategies and marketing ideas which has benefited me and my business. Most importantly Farrah was very professional, friendly and presented her thoughts and ideas in a very constructive way and the training did not stop there. Farrah continues to support me and mentor me through my journey as an artist. Her outstanding training program clearly displays a high level of professionalism and is delivered in a very spacious and relaxed environment making this creative journey with her even more fun.”

“I recently did my 2day-course with Farrah Azam and I really want to thank Farrah for the knowledge I gained throughout the course. I learned everything from the application of henna on products, to how to run the business. Before taking the course, Farrah asked me to write a list of questions that I would like to ask once the course was complete, but Farrah had managed to cover every question before I even had a chance to ask them. I came all the way from Denmark for this and it was most definitely worth it. I would also like to give Farrah credit for all the confidence and courage I gained following the course. Last but not least, her work is beautiful and so is she. She’s an amazing and kind person. Thank you Farrah!”
