Yagel Miles
Creative director and the artist behind the scenes of VÉLA by YS — where hair becomes art, and every guest leaves feeling unmistakably themselves.
A vision for hair as personal art
Yagel Miles has spent over a decade with scissors in hand, shaping a reputation for cuts and colour that feel effortless yet intentional. His work is defined by a rare balance — technical precision paired with an instinct for what makes each person feel most like themselves.
After years behind chairs across Los Angeles and abroad, he opened VÉLA by YS to build something of his own: a calm, considered studio in Woodland Hills where craft comes first and every guest is treated as a collaboration.
“Great hair isn't about following a trend. It's about revealing the person who was always there.”Yagel Miles, Founder
Craft over trend
Every cut and colour is built around your features, lifestyle, and how you actually wear your hair — not a passing fad.
A studio for everyone
VÉLA was founded on the belief that precision and care belong to all — women and men, first-timers and regulars alike.
Detail is everything
From the consultation to the final mirror, the small things are where artistry lives. Nothing leaves the chair unfinished.
