Upon arriving at the salon, you are able to pick out a kimono of your liking from a wide selection of colors and designs. Prior to putting the kimono on, staff style your hair as you like or you can let them design the style for you, finishing if off with a hair ornament of your choosing. After this, a staff member will help dress you in a beautiful kimono. All of this takes roughly 30 minutes.
