Today we’d like to introduce you to Koko Hayashi.
Koko, please share your story with us. How did you get to where you are today?
I was born, grown up and moved to the States at the age of 37 years old by myself. At the age of 27, I had plastic surgery failure. I was advised to add implant in the chin and did it because the doctor told me that I can have it removed if I don’t like it. I didn’t like it, so had it removed, but my chin is never the same as before. It looks distorted a little and left something like a car accident scar. That’s when I realized that I should have pursue natural solution, such as Face Yoga! In Japan, there are many face exercises instructors, so it was natural for me to start doing it. As I see good result personally, I started teaching since 2018, and have already gained celebrity clients such as Kim Kardashian. My class was voted as #1 popular yoga class at The Yoga Expo Los Angeles 2019. My Face Yoga YouTube is growing with more than 100,000 subscribers.
Has it been a smooth road?
I pitched the business to investors, but it seems that they don’t really understand the benefits, as it’s not instant like botox. I understand American love instant result, but I believe there is enough population who prefers slow, but natural/safe/effective methods like Face Yoga in the U.S. In Japan, it is an established market with more than 800 instructors. I believe the same will happen here in the near future too!

Let’s touch on your thoughts about our city – what do you like the most and least?
Los Angeles has so much to offer. As I am from Tokyo, I cannot live in quiet area. There are so many events going on, and I love attending those and meeting people in-person. Communicating with exciting people is so refreshing. My favorite spot is YouTube Space LA.
I was not used to be surrounded by homeless people, but now I am used to!
