Hi, I'm Yovanka Loria - Stylist, Educator and Founder of Yovanka Loria Extensions.
I have spent more than three decades behind the chair, and I know first-hand what it feels like to love this industry but still feel overworked, undervalued, and exhausted.
For years, I thought being fully booked meant I had made it.
Double shifts. Back-to-back clients. No breaks.
Yes, the money was there, but so was the burnout. My body ached, my family time disappeared, and the spark I once had for hair was fading fast.
If this feels familiar, you are not alone.
But it doesn't have to stay this way.
I knew something had to change. Working harder was never going to be the answer. I needed a way to work smarter, to serve my clients at a higher level while protecting my time and energy.
That is when I discovered weft hair extensions. They gave me a way out. A service that transformed my clients’ confidence, allowed me to charge premium prices and, gave me back the freedom I was missing.
But the methods being taught were flawed.
That was the moment everything changed, when the YL Method was born.
The YL Hidden Bead Method gave me back my freedom, my confidence, and my passion for hair. And now it can do the same for you.

You love your craft. You care deeply about your clients. But here is the reality so many stylists face.
> 10 hour days that leave you exhausted
> Clients who push your boundaries and question your worth
> Installs that slip, drag, or show corners far too soon
That is not success. That is survival.
It's the pattern that leaves even the most talented stylists exhausted, underpaid, and disconnected from the passion that brought them here in the first place.

The YL Hidden Bead Method became my way out of burnout. It allowed me to keep doing the work I loved without losing myself in the process. And for the first time, you can now learn it online.
