YELENA KOGAY-BAILEY,
HAIR STYLIST AND EXTENSIONS SPECIALIST
Artisan of Elevated Glamour
Yelena is known for her editorial eye, meticulous approach to detail, and passion for creating hair that is both luxurious and effortlessly wearable. Originally from Kazakhstan, she moved to New York to pursue her dream, honing her craft under the mentorship of legendary stylist Bob Recine. This foundation shaped her refined aesthetic, particularly in bridal and editorial styling.
With experience assisting top celebrity stylists, Yelena has worked behind the scenes with industry icons such as Lady Gaga, Adriana Lima, and Gigi Hadid. Her portfolio includes prestigious events like the Met Gala, along with television work for Rachel Ray, What Not to Wear, and Good Morning America.
A certified extensions specialist, Yelena expertly applies K-tip, tape-in, and weft extensions tailored to each client’s needs—whether adding subtle length, fullness, or dramatic transformation. Her cutting technique ranges from precise bobs to sensual long layers, always customized to enhance the client's face shape, hair texture, and lifestyle.
At heart, Yelena believes in creating looks that are not only beautiful but also authentically aligned with the individual—blending red-carpet polish with everyday ease.
