They start off an apprentice, a Maiko (dance child) and make their debut when they are, well good enough to. During apprentice periods, they learn things like dancing, playing music, serving and entertaining. And they learn it in an actual school. After which, she will attach herself to a Geisha, acting as her 'mentor', who will bring her around and let her observe while at work.

Geisha usually wears elaborate kimonos with like dip necks, okay which is a traditional erotic area. But they scoop at the back. It's the same way westerners show legs. The lower the dip, the more 'leg' they are showing. And as they have their faces painted white, designs are also made at the the back of their necks with the white paint. A Geisha don't usually wash their hair as they have elaborate hairdos.

Anyway, there are misconceptions of Geisha. They are mistaken for prostitutes. They entertain guys, BUT they are skilled in dance, music and arts. Futhermore, a Geisha do not involve in paid sex. Geisha is a dying culture.

If I had the chance, I'd like to experience one day of being a Geisha.
