Today we’d like to introduce you to Miku Sakamoto .
Hi Miku , thanks for joining us today. We’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
My name is Miku Sakamoto and I’m the owner of The Sculpt Fairy, a noninvasive body sculpting spa.
I got into body sculpting pretty much on a whim. I was really miserable with the job that I had at the time and knew I needed to make a change, to find something that fulfilled me and gave me purpose. I’d known for a while that I wanted to get into the beauty industry but had no plan beyond that. I kept bouncing around different ideas in my head and none seemed right. One day a friend of mine posted a training for body sculpting. I didn’t know anything about the body sculpting world and to be honest it sounded a little too good to be true – lose inches off your waist in one session without any invasive procedures? No way! But I decided to look into it anyway because I was intrigued and discovered that it was a legitimate industry. The idea of helping people become more comfortable in their own skin really appealed to me as a person who’s struggled with body image issues in the past, so I went for it!
I think a lot of people believe they need to find something they’re passionate about to make a change in their life, but that’s not always the case. My motivation for change came from a place of misery, and that thankfully turned into a passion. I think whatever the reason is for you pursuing something to better your life, as long as you’re going for it that’s what matters. Starting a business in a new industry is daunting but I’m so grateful that I did because I absolutely love what I do and I wake up every day excited to go to work.
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
If by smooth you mean off roading in extreme terrain, then yes!
I’ve worked harder than I ever have in the past three years, and I wouldn’t change a single thing about it. This is my first time owning a business and it has been the hardest, most rewarding journey of my life. Every day I’m learning something new, pivoting when things don’t work out, trying to maintain balance and boundaries, all while striving to be the best I can be for our clients.
I won’t lie to you, owning your own business takes grit. It’s full of euphoric moments when things are working out perfectly and your business seems to be growing, but also moments of pure exhaustion and defeat when everything seems to be going wrong. I’ll still have some weeks when bookings are low or a sale isn’t doing well and my self doubt comes creeping back. The longer I’ve been in business however, the faster I’m able to recognize those moments are just temporary and to have faith because things will work out in the end as long as you’re putting in the work.
Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know?
The Sculpt Fairy is a noninvasive body sculpting spa in Dallas, Texas. We offer noninvasive treatments to help reduce stubborn fat and cellulite, tighten skin, build muscle, and help with lymphatic drainage to promote overall wellness.
We are probably most known for our unique fairy themed spa. Each room has a different theme that’s meant to transport clients. Whether you’re in the fairy oasis room, enchanted forest room, or mermaid lagoon room you’re going to enter a different world that allows you to take a break from everyday life and the stress that comes with it. Our mental state and stress levels affect the results of body sculpting so I tried to create a magical environment that encourages clients to relax and feel happy.
More importantly, we place a heavy emphasis on self love and body positivity and I think our clients can really feel that. As soon as you walk in the door you’re going to see a huge neon sign that says “you are not just a work in progress, you are a masterpiece in motion” which is our motto. There is nothing wrong with wanting to change or improve your physical appearance, but it’s important to do it from a place of self love. We truly believe that you can’t shame yourself into change, you can only love yourself into evolution. Our goal is for every client to walk out with a little more sparkle than when they walked in.
Can you talk to us a bit about the role of luck?
I don’t necessarily believe in luck, but I do believe in energy. Putting out positivity and trying my best to support our clients or other small businesses has definitely played an integral role in our growth. The more positive energy you send out to the universe the more you receive back!
