A literary sensation and runaway bestseller, this brilliant debut novel tells with seamless authenticity and exquisite lyricism the true confessions of one of Japan's most celebrated geisha.

Nominated as one of America's best-loved novels by PBS's The Great American Read

Speaking to us with the wisdom of age and in a voice at once haunting and startlingly immediate, Nitta Sayuri tells the story of her life as a geisha. It begins in a poor fishing village in 1929, when, as a nine-year-old girl with unusual blue-gray eyes, she is taken from her home and sold into slavery to a renowned geisha house. We witness her transformation as she learns the rigorous arts of the geisha: dance and music; wearing kimono, elaborate makeup, and hair; pouring sake to reveal just a touch of inner wrist; competing with a jealous rival for men's solicitude and the money that goes with it.

In Memoirs of a Geisha, we enter a world where appearances are paramount; where a girl's virginity is auctioned to the highest bidder; where women are trained to beguile the most powerful men; and where love is scorned as illusion. It is a unique and triumphant work of fiction--at once romantic, erotic, suspenseful--and completely unforgettable.

Best Stuff Non Greasy Super Shine
Scent: Argan Oil
Wow! This product blew my mind! I have fine hair, bleached blond and this product made my hair soooo shiny nothing has ever done that! The fragrance is minimal but pleasant. This improved the condition of my hair immediately and I didn't even leave it on very long. No greasy feel afterward which is important with my fine hair. I bought another for daughter's frizzy hair she was impressed.

Just a great product
Scent: Curly
Honestly I’ve tried plenty of hair mask before and none of them can do what this one does! My hair is so hydrated after 2 uses! When I wash it out my hair actually maintains the water and it’s so easy to comb through and style 10/10

Fantastic heat protection
Color: Biotin, Color: Biotin
I highly recommend this heat protecting spray because it has truly helped my hair become healthier. I blow dry and straighten my hair so much and I rarely use to protect it so it became quite damaged over time. I've been using this for roughly 3 weeks now and my hair is becoming healthier, shinier and growing so much better because it's not breaking or getting dried out. I like the smell of the spray - it's really nice. It's not sticky and doesn't leave any residue in my hair. And it doesn't leave my hair stiff like it's got hair spray in it. This spray stops my hair from going all frizzy including when I'm hot or it's humid. It also protects my hair colour too. I would recommend this.
