Naturally, all women in kimono and this particular hairdo are not "Geisha". They must be trained in shamisen and traditional Japanese dance as well as other skills required as a high-end party entertainer in Japan. Only those with mastery of those techniques can become a geisha and trainees are called "maiko" (in Kansai) or "hangyoku" (in Kanto). By the way, a traditional Japanese bride wears beautiful uchikake kimono with a geisha-like hairstyle (normally a wig today). It's called Bunkin Takashimada and derived from the style worn by bushi class women. But alas! Young brides nowadays wear an occidental-princess-like curly style (and with that brown-dyed hair!) with kimono... Isn't this waste of our cultural asset!?
