Mona built her company, Huda Beauty, along with her two sisters, Huda and Alya Kattan. Apart from Huda Beauty and Kayali Fragrances, Mona is also responsible for her skincare brand, Wishful.

A look into Dubai Bling season 2 star Mona Kattan's personal and professional life

Born on May 8, 1985, in Tennessee, Mona Kattan relocated with her family to the UAE in 2002, where she continues to reside to date. Mona completed her education at Sharjah American International School and earned a degree in Finance from the American University of Sharjah.

She is of Iraqi descent and was raised alongside three sisters (Huda, Alya, and Halida) and a brother (Khalid).

Dubai Bling season 2 star Mona Kattan initially started her career in the banking industry. However, she soon shifted gears and sought a career change. According to her YouTube bio:

"Very soon after I made a quick switch to the AMAZINGLY, wonderful, crazy world of entrepreneurship and I've been addicted ever since!"

According to WomenHealthMag, Mona once opened up to Glossy about her initial days in the perfume business and the reason behind her decision to move to Dubai. She mentioned:

"I’ve been obsessed with fragrances ever since I was a kid. My most sensitive sense was the sense of smell. Every time I would smell something, I just felt such a deep connection. When I moved to Dubai when I was 17, that was like taking it from love to next-level obsession — just a crazy fascination with fragrances. Because, in Dubai, people use perfume in such an interesting way. They use it as a ritual, as a part of their daily lifestyle, as a part of their celebrations — it’s just something that’s really celebrated in life."

According to People, Mona herself is a perfume connoisseur and is fond of collecting rare and expensive perfumes to stockpile in her collection. In this connection, she stated:

"I am also a big perfume collector so I have over 3,500 fragrances in what I call my 'fragrance library,' grouped by brand so I can easily find my layers of the day!"

In 2023, she exchanged vows with longtime partner Hassan Elamin, and their grand and opulent wedding ceremony was attended by celebrity A-listers like Jennifer Lopez, Priyanka Chopra Jonas, and Kim Kardashian.

All episodes of Dubai Bling are exclusively available for streaming on Netflix.
