ABOUT
YUKO
YUKO, an established brand in the beauty industry since 1996, is best known for its internationally patented hair straightening process that successfully straightens hair without the damage.
In October 2000, the YUKO Hair Straightening system’s “Repair” Technology obtained patent approval in the United States. Not only is it quite rare for a Japanese beauty technology to be granted a patent in the United States, but YUKO was approved in an amazingly short time. The YUKO Hair Straightening system changed the concept of hair straightening in Japan and continues to revolutionize hair straightening throughout the world.
YUKO now maintains a comprehensive range of professional tools, solutions and home care products for every hair type. Through our exceptional products and services, we strive to deliver beautiful hair to our clients across the globe.
