Product range
Six Yoko models are catalogued: the LL ($325), YS ($325), YOX ($350), YH 525 ($350), YOS ($350), and S ($350). The $325–$350 range runs tight — a narrow price spread that indicates Yoko positions its models primarily by construction and technique fit rather than by price tier differentiation. The broad model alphabet suggests variation in handle angle, blade length, or weight profile across a consistent quality level. Yoko is a Nina Inc. brand and shares production infrastructure with Elite Classic.
The mid-range professional price point makes Yoko accessible to working stylists who want a step up from entry tools without reaching the premium tier.
