“How do two brothers get into the nail care business?” This is the single most common question people ask us. There’s a long and rocky version but we’ll give you the short one. We have our fearless and unconventional mother, Young Salo, to thank. With a single-minded entrepreneurial spirit, she decided to start her own business at the age of 49. She had a passion for the nail industry and we did everything in our power to support her. In the end, this is a family business.
Greg, the older brother, became a licensed nail technician after switching gears from fire fighter’s training. He is energy personified and has a true passion for developing the best professional nail care products and education. Habib is the younger brother. He jumped in a few years later; taking a detour from medical school and a life in music. He brings his own creative mind for business, marketing and strategy. Unexpectedly, we are a perfect team.
Today, more than 20 years later, Young Nails Inc., is a professional nail care manufacturing company exporting to over 40 countries worldwide and distributing domestically to over 3000 stores. We’re respected for our next-level product innovation and education. Our mission is to bring you the best quality products and we’ll show you how to use them with incredible results. It’s really that simple.
Welcome to the Young Nails family!

One piece of advice I would give is to provide yourself with as much education as possible. A lot of schools only teach the bare minimum, it's up to you to keep educating yourself past school. Young nails is a great education opportunity, they have a lot of great videos on here! Thank you for posting these videos! You guys were and still are my heros because my school left me with hardly any knowledge of nails. Through your videos I have learned so much and I tell everyone to come to your videos when they need help!

[@machobeauty]

I feel like a lot of times if you look at a pro without hearing what they’re saying you learn a lot more by looking at the tiny details that sometimes they don’t talk about or mention but it’s the tiny things that are the most important in nails

[@nedmay1969]

The best advice I received when I started 11 years ago was from a 30 year career nail tech veteran. She said “don’t expect perfection every time…you’re not Jesus.” I thought it was funny but also a good point!

[@vivianp5805]

the nail industry would not be the same if we didn’t have y’all 🤧

[@VampireKissesFan12]

I’ve been doing nails for about 8 months, recently graduated nail school & became licensed and I’ve recently been feeling very discouraged because I’m not where I thought I should be. I recently had a client walk away and didn’t seem too enthusiastic about her nails which make me even more discouraged and watching this video made me feel much better! I realized I’m being too harsh on myself, I’ve only been doing nails for 8 months and of course I still have so much more learning to do! This just motivated me to just keep going, thank you young nails for this video!

[@pixieinx]

I remember watching biz talk with nail being a intense hobby but now I’m finally going to get my license and this whole channel really made it possible to get properly informed, learn and stay true to your joy in creating.

[@kathytarman2302]

My advice, learn how to correctly prep, build and shape nails before even thinking about a speck of glitter or any art work.

[@dawnfarr8950]

Thanks for the video guys!!! Sunrise in LV

[@cee2random]

Hey guys 👋🏽! I want to know your take on replacing sculpting nail services with techniques like soft gel tips. Thank you love your work love ❤️

[@youngnailsinc]

We recommend doing what is best for your business and what services you prefer to offer. Both services have their benefits and you can build a clientele on either, depending on what product you prefer to work with with.

[@softlipschula]

You guys are amazing!

Oh my gosh nail ninjas. It could be a whole training thing with different levels and we all start with a white Thisswatch. Certificates and new color Thisswatch when we progress. I'm loving this idea lol, a lot can be done with it.

[@baptizedbyglitter]

Can you do videos on the "10 fundamentals"

[@no3miiiz]

Can you ask this question to multiple techs? Even if it’s a short for each individual.

[@nancymolina6088]

Can you do a video on how to do acrylic nails on nails that grow upward 🙏

[@youngnailsinc]

You cut the nails back as much as you can and then work on them like bitten nails. kzbin.info/www/bejne/ravVkmirmbuXd8k

I want to be a nail ninja

[@anitaduchens]

Heeeelp, I did everything to not get lifting, I did prep, used swipe to dehidrate, used protein bond, and the gel polish still lifted 😩

[@donnamarie149]

Try 1 coat of protein bond vs two and make sure you’re pushing back the cuticle and getting the invisible sticky cuticle off the nail

[@anitaduchens]

@@donnamarie149 thank you!!! I always make sure that my nails are super clean and have no cuticule left, it lifted on the free edge part, I'm kinda losing hope at this point 😔

[@loveauxnailwaxstudio]

When you finish your nail prep, do not over dehydrate the nail plate with swipe (or any dehydrator) as this can lead to lifting. Use one coat of protein bond on the free edge only prior to gel polish application. Also do not saturate the free edge with protein bond, allow it to dry before applying your base coat. Make sure the client does not use a lot of hair oils, hand lotions/lubricants and hand sanitizers. Sometimes that makes gel polish peel or lift. I hope this helps! 😊

[@youngnailsinc]

What grit sanding band or hand file are you using to remove the shine? Also, are the nails healthy or more on the thin/weak side?

[@anitaduchens]

@@youngnailsinc I'm using an 180 grit file, and my nails are on the thin side. Thank you for answering!
