Saika Satomi

Hi Saika, it’s an honor to have you on the platform. Thanks for taking the time to share your story with us – to start, maybe you can share some of your backstory with our readers. 
In 2011 (I was 21 years old), I moved to LA from Japan to fulfill my dream of living an authentic life and work. I struggled and faced many setbacks without knowing English, but I strived every day with the desire to find something that only I could do. I didn’t even understand English. 

I started as a waitress. It was hard because I couldn’t take even orders. I put all the money I earned toward my language school and beauty school, and life was tough, but I really wanted to find something that only I could do, and I love to live in LA. 

I started living with my first homestay vegetarian family and learned about health and communication skills. During this time, I also pursued professional license in yoga, massage, and as an esthetician. I learned how beauty, mind, and physical health are deeply connected after 

My story continues, “As I immigrated to the United States in 2011 to fulfill my dream. Then, I finally found the first passion I encountered was Eyelash Extension. After I learned lash extensions. I worked in an eyelash salon for two years, and immediately, In 2014, I rented a studio and my first local business in the States, SAIKA Beauty, an eyelash extension salon in Beverly Hills. 

At that time, I was new to the business, and my English was only better than when I arrived, but somehow, I felt confident. 

Since we opened now (this year is our 10th year), thankfully, we have been busy every day, and many locals have been coming to us for a long time. 

But When I opened the first year of SAIKA Beauty, I started to suffer from various symptoms like food allergies, chronic diarrhea, fatigue, and bad circulation for several years, all due to changes in living from Japan to the USA environment and overwork-related stress. While I was looking for relief after trying and failing numerous hospital visits and health tips, I learned about gut health and started to pay more attention to what my body was telling me. The stubborn symptoms started to disappear as I began the gut health journey, and I also noticed my mental clarity was much better. Gut health is not just physically important but mentally important as well. Both are connected. 

While running the salon, I was very health conscious, and with the desire to provide organic protein products from LA to Japan, I founded THE MOMENT Inc. with Mr. Kanei (current CEO) in 2019 in Japan after meeting during their study abroad. 

And during Covid, 

I started to create a probiotic supplement brand called “ Re:Bio “ to support beauty and health from the gut. However, it actually took three years to create and finish product. 

In 2022, she first launched “Re:Bio “in Japan followed by a US launch in 2023 September. 

I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
It was not easy at all. I had a lot of setbacks and difficulties because I didn’t understand English. Also, I didn’t know anyone, so it was difficult at first. But I keep learning everything. 

Great, so let’s talk business. Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
I have an eyelash salon in Beverly Hills. This year marks our 10th year, and many locals have been coming to our store for a long time. 

And I’m selling product Re:Bio on online both Japan and USA. 

My product is Re:Bio Synbiotics Packets is a supplement give you live beneficial bacteria with supportive ingredients like dietary fiber and oligosaccharides needed to kickstart them. In addition, added collagen peptides will help you achieve glowing skin from the inside out. 

My own health struggles and experiences led to the birth of Re:Bio Synbiotics Packets. This product was thoughtfully created, starting with the ingredients and taste, but most importantly the results. It’s good got. 

I want to make a Supplement, but Just like dessert, I enjoy taking it every day. 

A blend of the elegant scent of rose with the gentle sweetness of strawberry. You can directly take it without water, or you can add to yogurt or favorite smoothie. 

It’s also contain Collagen peptides to boost your beauty inside out 

I want to tell so more people will have better days with a healthy mind and body once they achieve a healthy gut. And I want to tell people that balance in life is important, and furthermore, to remember to take care of themselves every day. 

And don’t give up on finding what you love to do or what makes you happy. I had nothing, but I didn’t give up either. 

I meet a lot of women in my work, and they are all wonderful in their own way. Be yourself! 

Try something and even if it doesn’t work, you will get something out of it. And that will lead you to the next thing. 

Do you have any memories from childhood that you can share with us?
My favorite childhood memory was play with girly dolls, children’s makeup goods. 

Also, I liked baking by myself, but I wasn’t very good at it. 

Also, I am totally different than I used to be. I was passive, I couldn’t speak my mind, and I liked to be alone. I was just a normal kid with no special skills. So, there may be more possibilities than you think yourself!
