About Henna Art Workshops & Classes
Why I Teach Henna
Henna has been a part of me since my childhood, learning first from my mom. Teaching others now feels like passing on that magic. For me, it’s more about connection than just drawing mehendi - everyone can create something beautiful, no matter where you start.
My Teaching Style
I’m self-taught, so I know all the classic mistakes (and funny fails). I keep my classes super practical. You’ll get the real hacks that helped me, not just the pretty Instagram stuff. I’m also a bit obsessed with getting that deep, dark stain - so expect all my aftercare secrets.
Classes Offered
- If you’re brand new, my beginner mehendi design class will walk you through basics, from holding the cone to building your first patterns. Both online and offline.
- For those dreaming of doing bridal work, my advanced bridal mehendi workshop in-person is all about mastering those gorgeous, complicated designs.
- Already got the basics? The crash course on realistic henna portrait techniques is my favorite - it’s hands-on, 4 hours, and all materials are included.
What to Expect
You can join online from anywhere, or meet me for in-person henna art courses in Chennai or Navi Mumbai. All classes are hands-on, and you’ll leave with new skills (and maybe a bit of mehendi on your hands).

Caffeinated Henna
My Story
Hey, I’m Radhika, the one doodling at Caffeinated Henna. Mehendi started for me with my mom’s hands and a lot of childhood excitement. Somewhere along the way, work made things stiff – just lines, no soul. So I take breaks, do a design for myself, and remember that kid who loved messy hands. My dad still gets roped in as my test canvas! I love when clients challenge me, it keeps things real and fun.
