5.00We literally walked into this with no expectations at all. This was an amazing experience. They make up artist was fantastic and super patient with the whole process. The photographer was also amazing. They both were very encouraging to get into the Geisha role. The pictures are stunning. Another experience for exceeding expectations and a must for anyone.
Fun and memorable experience

5.00Amazing experience! Highly recommended. The time and effort that the ladies give to make sure you look your best as a Geisha. They take their time to put your makeup and allow you ti choose your outfit! Also they take beautiful pictures. We never felt rushed to do anything and the experience was unique. The pictures came out amazing! It was 3 of us and they treated us VIP.

5.00I cannot recommend this experience highly enough. From start to finish, I received personalized attention and engaged in rich conversations related to Geisha/Oiran and the symbolism behind the makeup and kimono. All three individuals' involved went above and beyond to ensure that my experience would be a memorable one. Overall, I think that this experience was authentic in every way including the photo session.
