Maiko (まいこ, マイコ) is a Japanese word for dancing girl and is an apprentice geisha. I went for a Maiko makeover at Yumekoubou when I visited Kyoto during the long weekend this month. The transformation was pretty amazing. It was an interesting experience. Would have been more fun if I were doing it together with 1 or 2 other friends though. We could have taken group shots on top of the individual ones. Guys have the option to do a Samurai makeover.
Here are a couple more shots of my makeover.
