Founder
The craft starts
with Yoni.
Yoni Kreger has spent more than three decades mastering his craft — as a stylist, educator, entrepreneur, and leader in the professional beauty industry.
Yoni began cutting hair at 14 and opened his first salon in Tel Aviv at just 21. After moving to New York in 2004, he quickly rose from senior stylist to salon manager and educator, developing a reputation not only for his technical expertise, but also for his ability to teach and inspire other stylists.
He later opened his own salon in SoHo before bringing his vision closer to home in New Jersey. Over the years, Yoni Kreger Salon grew to three locations, alongside the YK Hair Academy and Yoni's own Silk Road Hair Care line. His career has also included celebrity clients and work behind the scenes at New York Fashion Week.
In recent years, Yoni expanded his work beyond the salon as a Sales Director and Educator for an international professional hair care company. Working closely with salon owners and stylists, he brought together technical education, product expertise, and a deep understanding of what it takes to build a successful salon business.
The New Chapter
Back to what
he loves most.
Now, Yoni is returning his focus to what he has always loved most: creating exceptional hair, developing talented stylists, and building lasting relationships with his clients.
His newest salon brings together everything he has learned throughout his career — behind the chair, in the classroom, as an entrepreneur, and across the professional beauty industry — while marking the beginning of an entirely new chapter.
Community
Hair given with
purpose.
YK Salon sponsors local events and is home to Share Your Hair With Love — a 501(c)(3) that supports women undergoing chemotherapy. The floor thrives because the neighborhood does.
