Every great store deserves great exposure. Here, at Our Today, we highlight Jamaican entrepreneurs making a positive mark in the small business space. We believe every good business – particularly local stores with excellent customer service, trendy products and a strong social media presence – deserves to be recognised for its quality service.

Henna_Ja is a local business in Jamaica where you can get beautiful Henna and Jagua designs (similar to a temporary tattoo) done for a fee.

Henna design

Henna is a powder, made from a dried and grinded tree leaf, mixed with essential oils, and sugar into a paste that is applied to the skin to create a stain that lasts two to three weeks and leaves a brownish-orange colour.

Jagua stain design

Jagua is an all natural paste made from a fruit native to South America that, when applied to the skin, leaves a blackish-blue colour that lasts for three to five weeks.
