Reviews
It was very easy to get there and the staff was amazing!! Super attentive and polite, I will definitely be back.
booked the couple kimono set and the shop ladies are very helpful, patient and efficient. Pretty hairdo that made my day😊😊
This place is seriously so pretty 😻😻! Please do my hair beautifully, just like they do at a makeup shop!!! The staff are all so kind and helped me with everything from beginning to end, thank you! I want to rent a kimono here again next time.
The kimonos are pretty nice, and there are staff who can speak Chinese. When you arrive, you will first be asked to praise the kimono belt, and then they will help you put on the kimono after you have selected it. I went there at about 12:00 that day and returned before 5:30.
we booked at 10.30 am and we tried to come early so we won’t be late for the photo session. we booked the kimono only for the photo session and we directly returning it back after. however the place was too busy, we need to wait about 30 minutes to wear our kimono, causing the photoshoot delay for about 20 minutes. But other than that, the staff were very nive and friendly. the kimono were great, if you want to book, better to book it 2 hours before the photoshoot
