Au Petit Bonhomme de la Chance
Medina
Habiba Ajaoui was the first female shopkeeper in the Essaouira medina, and she's always happy to pass the time chatting with clients (in Arabic, French, or English) over a cup of steaming tea. She sells spices and argan and cactus-seed oils at reasonable prices and can get you everything you need for the hammam. She also has a large repertoire of henna tattoo designs, which are priced according to their complexity.
