I am excited to be your expert hairstylist and teacher. I have been a licensed cosmetologist for over 14 years, and I am passionate about sharing my knowledge and skills with others.
My journey with hair began at a young age. I started braiding at the age of 8, and by the time I graduated high school, I already had my cosmetology license. Over the years, I have honed my skills in a variety of styles, from natural updos and braids to hair extensions like Microlinks, I-Tips, Sew ins, and Tape ins.
What sets me apart is not just my expertise in hair styling, but also my business savvy. I have a degree in business and have personally run a successful hair business, earning over $60k annually working for myself. As a result, I have a deep understanding of what it takes to succeed in the hair industry and am committed to helping my students achieve their own success.
But more than that, I am passionate about empowering my students to do their best. My approach is personalized and attentive, taking into account each individual's unique needs and preferences.
So whether you're looking to learn natural hairstyles, braiding, or hair extensions, or want to build a successful hair business, I am here to guide you every step of the way. With my years of experience, my business acumen, and my passion for hair, I am confident that we can achieve amazing things together.
Thank you for considering me as your teacher, and I can't wait to work with you!

Braiding class with Yelena was great. She took her time examining my technique and provided feedback to help
me learn. She was also very patient! Yelena asked questions about the products I use for my daughters hair and also gave product suggestions. I highly recommend Yelena and I look forward to taking other classes with her.
