There are clients out there who are looking for extension artists who not only have the skills—but also understand how to deliver an exceptional customised unique experience. Too often, extensions are installed without the care and attention to detail that really matters—especially when it comes to colour blending and now texture matching for wavy or curly hair.
If you're ready to attract a wider range of clients and level up your installs, come spend the day with Yovanka or one of our YL Educators. We'll show you show to confidently install high-quality hair using safe methods, techniques and textures that feel natural, look seamless, and don't scream "mainstream extensions".
WHAT YOUR EXTENSIONS BUSINESS SHOULD LOOK LIKE
➝ Attracting a clientele who actually values your expertise—clients that aren't price shopping, but instead seeking quality, experience, and are more than happy to pay premium for it.
➝ Creating a niche that sets you apart—offering a service most extension artists don't. You confidently cater to all hair textures, customise colour with ease, and deliver results your clients can't stop raving about.
➝ Having your installs feel effortless and on point every single time—because what used to feel like a guessing game (colour matching, texture blending, proper placement) now becomes second nature with the right education.
➝ Finally feeling like you're working smarter, not harder—because when your technique is solid and your branding is clear, you stop chasing clients and start attracting aligned ones. No more burnoout. No more undercharging. Just high-quality work that lights you up again.
➝ And if we're honest... Tired of makeovers that still don't feel quite right? When the texture doesn't match, colouring extensions feels like a gamble, and every batch of hair you order is wildly inconsistent—it's exhausting, not to mention risky for your reputation.
THE YL DIFFERENCE
Yovanka Loria Extensions uses authentic raw Asian hair for our Straight range and premium-quality Indian hair for our Textured range, ensuring the highest standard across every texture. YL hair is sustainably and ethically sourced and traded for fair compensations by expert hair collectors.
Our processing method takes 3-4 weeks and is completed in gentle, chemical-free stages - no silicones or harsh treatments. The result? Hair that retains its natural shine, integrity and texture, lasting significantly longer than conventionally processed extensions.
We proudly offer 22 signature shades, designed for personalised colour customisation and seamless blending. Our unique texture range is inclusive for all hair types and designed to suit every client. And yes, we're finally bringing curls to the forefront and its about time! YL Extensions are available in four beautiful textures: Straight, Natural Body, Deep Wave and Curly.
YL Extensions paired with our signature colouring techniques will give you the creative control, consistency, and confidence to deliver seamless results.
