Hajar is a UK‑qualified and educated, licensed laser and aesthetic practitioner, as well as an aesthetic and skincare educator, with international experience across Dubai, Europe, the GCC, Turkey, and beyond. She is now launching her own “Aesthetic Clinic”.

From childhood, Hajar’s love for skincare began from her chemist mother’s lap, rooted in the rich heritage of Egypt, a land famed for Cleopatra’s timeless beauty secrets. Hajar was nurtured by her mother, a dedicated skincare chemist, who guided Hajar through the challenges of eczema. In her early teenage years, Hajar faced acne vulgaris, which deepened her understanding of how skin struggles affect confidence and wellbeing. Watching her mother formulate products and explain how ingredients interact with the skin sparked a lifelong fascination with “skin science”, one that combined empathy, curiosity, and an insatiable desire to understand how to care for the skin.

Most of Hajar’s family come from purely medical backgrounds, and pursuing medicine was expected. However, Hajar’s ADHD and OCD made the structured, repetitive, and invasive environment of traditional medicine, with long hours, procedural routines, and exposure to bodily fluids, impossible for her to pursue given her personality and mental health.

This challenge became a guiding force, shaping Hajar’s career path toward a hands-on, science-based, non-invasive field in aesthetics, where precision, adaptability, and attention to detail are paramount.
