I know what it feels like to want to work weddings

and not know how to get there

My name is Yanita Esqao. I've been doing bridal hair for over 10 years. Hundreds of brides. Orange County, Los Angeles. Every weekend morning, I show up, set up, and deliver — no matter the hair type, the timeline, or the pressure.

I’ve been doing this for over ten years. When I finally decided to teach, I went looking for the kind of program I wish I’d had starting out. Nothing came close.

I'm a licensed California Cosmetologist. I teach small groups — maximum 6 students — so every person gets my eyes on their work. This isn’t a lecture or a YouTube tutorial - it’s hands-on practice with real feedback on every single thing you do.

10+ years · CA License · Hollywood Studio · Maximum 6 students per class
