Where to buy Yoko
Yoko is one of several house lines under Nina Inc., a professional shear company in Newark, Delaware that has supplied the salon trade for over thirty years. In the Nina catalogue it sits next to Tara, Yasaka, Yuroshi, Aikyo, and Elite Classic, which tells you something about how it’s positioned: a focused line within a broader stable rather than a standalone identity. That’s a perfectly honest setup, and it means buying a Yoko also means buying into Nina’s long-running service and distribution.
Models and steel
The range runs through several models, including the Model S, Model LL, Model YH 525, Model YOS, Model YOX, and Model YS. The naming is utilitarian rather than evocative, which fits the workmanlike feel of the line. Across the board, blades are described as cobalt with a Super Convex Edge, the smooth-cutting profile most stylists want for slicing and slide work.
Pricing lands mid-range, roughly $200 to $400 depending on the model. That’s everyday professional territory, not a luxury splurge.
Because Yoko is a catalogue brand, the Nina Inc. site at ninainc.com is the authoritative source for current specs, steel descriptions, and stock, with full product pages per model. For comparable American lines, see our USA brands hub.
