Two different things!
Yuko: permanent straightening that can not be used on bleached or over stressed/fragile hair as it will make it worse if not break it! But an excellent treatment if you have the right hair for it as it will straighten permanently until you get re-growth.
Brazilian: semi permanent will last 3-5 months depending on individuals hair and how often you wash it. Due to this it is less of a commitment than the permanent option as you will never get re-growth. Can be used on any type of hair, bleached, dry, normal, curly, damaged etc. It will only improve the condition of your hair and you can do it as often as you like leaving it soft and shiny. It will calm your hair from frizz and smooth out curls without taking them away completely. It should not be sold as a straightening system. Perfect for damaged frizzy hair that you always straighten as you cannot do anything else with BUT your hair will get even more damaged it you do not have this treatment as all you will need to do after it is BLOW DRY. It's a revolutionary treatment that my clients are loving!

They are 2 completely different types of product.
Yuko is a permament Japanese Straightener which chemically changes the structure of the hair, requiring a touch up application to the new out growth ( Like you would with a color).
Brazilian Keratin Treatments(BKT): Carefully research the brand your stylist uses.There are at least 25 brands on the market so far.
BKT is a conditioning treatment that replaces the keratin and moisture to the hair. It can last up to 4 months in the hair with the proper home care. It is not chemically altering the hair structure. You can also use is to help keep curls more manageable.

They are for two different purpose. The Yuko completely changes the structure of the hair making it very straight. The Brazilian hair Straightening is an innovative process that transforms the hair without chemically altering the hair strands, but by sealing the hair in keratin. Keratin is the primary protein of the skin, hair and nails. The use of a keratin-based product adds moisture and strength to hair damaged by blow drying, coloring, and traditional relaxers.
So if your looking for a beautiful blowdry I would go for the Brazilian. I love it !!!!!

Depending on what your hair condition and what degree of straightness you desire would be the primary question to help answer that. The Yuko System will give you more permanent results if you desire totally straight hair, but may not best service if you have damaged or colored treated hair. The Brazilian Keratin Treatments help with giving great conditioning benefits to the hair, but are semi-permanent they last 2-4 months, and vary in their degree of straightness depending on the formula. The BKT is an amazing conditioning service, gives you wonderful results if done properly, and doesn't alter the hair permanently. The BKT will eliminate up to 80% of frizz and smooth curls/
