We apply traditional Japanese makeup, just like real Maiko and Geiko. This involves arranging the hair with a net, applying Bintsuke oil, white powder, and water-soluble lipstick for an authentic look.
*Please remove your own makeup before the session. -
Hair Set
After makeup, we style your hair using a half-wig, blending it with your own hair for a natural finish, and decorate it with seasonal flower hairpins (Kanzashi).
(A full wig will be used for those with very short hair.) -
