YUKO Academy is on hold until further notice.
In our flagship salon in the UK we have built a loyal base of YUKO clients, some of whom we have known for over 15 years. It is here that we hold our YUKO Academy – a place where you can learn everything about the YUKO processes, techniques and products.
If you would like to start using YUKO you need to attend the two-day training course at our YUKO Academy. After completion of this course we will register you with us: we will issue a certificate of attendance and login details so you can buy YUKO professional products from our website.
For salons /stylists who are already registered with us we offer a range of other courses.
Please note that courses at the YUKO Academy are only available in English. Details of our courses are set out below.
Two Day Training for those new to YUKO (either salons registered with us with staff new to YUKO or salons new to YUKO)

Two Day Training for those new to YUKO
If your salon is not yet registered with us and you would like to use YUKO, you will need to send a stylist to train on our two-day course. Similarly if you are a freelance stylist who is not registered with us you will need to attend this course.
This course is also recommended for stylists who work at registered salons but have not trained in YUKO.
This two-day course takes place on Mondays and Tuesdays only.
First day (Monday)
- You will observe our YUKO instructors demonstrating the YUKO straightening process
- You will take part in some of the demonstration by checking the model’s hair during the YUKO straightening process
- This first day starts at 11am and is usually finished by around 4pm
Second day (Tuesday)
- This is a hands-on training day where you bring in your own model and equipment
- You will practise YUKO straightening under the supervision of one of our skilled instructors
- This second day starts at 11 am and is usually finished by 5pm although this depends on the model’s hair
- Once you have successfully completed this hands-on day of the training you will be given a certificate of attendance and log-in details with which you can purchase YUKO products
