Mombasa's home of Swahili beauty craft
Learn a real skill from working artists
RSSM Academy trains the next generation of henna artists, singo specialists and spa therapists on the Kenyan coast. Every class is practice-first: you learn on real clients, with senior artists guiding your hand, so you leave with a portfolio and the confidence to earn from day one. Whether you're a school leaver looking for a career, a bride learning for your big day, or a working stylist adding bridal henna and Swahili singo to your services, our short courses are built around your schedule in Tudor and Majengo, Mombasa.
