“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.

5:13 this “dust” phenomenon has been plaguing me forever! I never understood why it looked like bubbles or dust in my polish. I’ve always thought you were supposed to put a thin layer of gel. Thank you!

[@raya74]

Wow what a huge eye opener! I've always used 180 to file my gel since I started years ago not realizing it was actually a buffer?? Like whattt!! But I see soo many other techs using it for gel because they say gel is so easy to file and thats all it needs and one nail tech just told me for gel when you buff it creates more scratches in the nails and helps gel to adhere so I get so confused. Ive also asked some others and they said they had no lifting issues with their gel nails and buffing but since I have always had my top coat lifting at the cuticle I followed all of Tracy's recommendations for my last set and hopefully it helps. Also I've learned that no wipe top coat has a different chemical formula than the wipe off top coat so it needs extra help adhering (protein bond) Another thing I was using non acetone to wipe off my inhibition layers so ive stopped that. There are so many factors when you run into problems that you have to consider its definitely a learning experience so thank you for all the nail education you share!

[@kathytarman2302]

This is the best information. Thank you for sharing this. You have helped so many of us. I think you all are so special. Love you all.

[@nekeishasmith4382]

[@TpzNlz]

Thank you so much! You just solved my problem with gel polish chipping 🎉🎊‼️😆

[@manifestbeautyesthetics]

This is soooo informational. I learned literally so many things in this video!

[@brendadz1694]

Omgsh thank you!! I’ve been waiting for you guys to post a video of this

[@jacquelinedimattia774]

Thanks for the helpful information Tracey

[@helenaorphanides8112]

Tracy thanks for the helpful tips for us new nail techs. Love your guys channel❤❤😊

[@amib4509]

🤭 I had 2 mistakes. Thank you, now I will correct them 🤩

[@emelylopez6350]

Omg!!! Waiting for this video. I remember Tracey talks about this one the biz talk but the video is so much detail and I love when you guys show the DONT and DO ... I am a visual learner. I also have a question... do you need to top coat the nails when you use the paints ? I have YN paints (I love them so much) but don't know why looks like the top coat is shrink on top of the cure gel paint ...

[@christineferguson2088]

Can you make a video on what the nail should look like after you file around the cuticle after acrylic?!? Ive seen "flush to the nail" but I'm not sure what that means&would love a demonstration 🥰🥰

[@annieo5114]

yess!!

[@rhondaarmstrong6790]

Great video!

[@anigagasheva8742]

Very helpful information, thank you so much! I have problem with chipping but only when I use chameleon chrome nail powder and not to all nails. With gel polish I have never had any problems unless if it is bad quality but with chrome powder it is always chipping at the corners of the free edge. I never buff or put oils or even swipe, I file with 180 file and remove the dust. I did my nails on tuesday with chrome powder and already I have chipping on two nails. Any suggestions what I am doing wrong? Thank you!

[@essjai5D]

I’m a beginner / self taught, but I usually never had issues with chipping or peeling polish on acrylic (due to watching your videos 😘). Recently though, after listening to someone’s advice on YT, I wiped down my acrylic nails with acetone after filing then forgot about it. My polish has been chipping and I had no idea why until I watched this video and remembered! Never doing that again!

[@gabrielaperez-romero3196]

What should be used to wipe the dust off the nails if not acetone or soap n water?

[@Creativemadness13JC]

Love that you explained this especially the acetone wiping that's something I have done & see happen often!!!💖💅🏽

[@GlamourByB]

U guys r the best ❤️

[@mandylynnswarts]

Heyyyy yassss I have problems with bulk from the gel polish. I'm afraid 😂 f under filing then it's bulky with the polish. Aos if I get a lint I wiped away the inabition layer away. Did I have to etch the base coat again🤪

[@marinmanuel7328]

hello I would like to be trained by your training but do you have premises in Belgium? thank you for your answer

[@kristenmartinez7807]

I have a client who uses harsh cleaning chemicals on a daily basis & she never wears gloves. Is it safe to say she will always have chipping? I always gel polish her enhancements and within a week at least 3 of her nails are stripped of the gel polish.

[@sushles]

For nail polish ... after like 15 mins dry time under a fan i cover it in a gel top coat. What is chipping?

[@jwiki1]

I figured out that if I put protein bond on before polish and before top coat I never get chipping. Also if i am using chromes I lightly put on protein bond on top of the chrome and so far no chipping. I used to get chipping of the top coat within a week when I used chrome.

[@natachamartins6506]

Just save my life.i discovered recently that that file i was using in my electric drill was not helping the process too. But this video just saved me

[@natalicherop5894]

Love from kenya 🇰🇪

[@brooke3140]

I noticed this when I filed to an acrylic base and encapsulated in hard gel. A week later the acrylic and gel were separating. It looked crazy

[@Whatsupdiva]

Y'all have been schooled! 😀

[@mackybarr]

Would this tips work for regular lacquer/polish?

[@chc717]

No it’s not necessary for nail polish. They’re completely different products

[@ALSAmandaLynn]

Dang never been this early!

[@Engrsoph]

What's usually on the blue brush when you wipe after buffing?

[@youngnailsinc]

we use our product swipe to cleanse the nail plate. www.youngnails.com/products/8-oz-swipe

[@xxshani56xx]

Is your protein bond similar to a primer? If not what can you sub it with?

[@youngnailsinc]

Yes, if you use protein bond you don't need a primer it is the primer(:

[@acoley609]

What is equivalent to the protein bond?

[@sandrastreifel6452]

Protein Bond is a superb brand of nonacid primer!

[@keesimeehan1357]

I see in your videos you use protein bond alot and to me it seems like you use it at the stages when others would use base coat? I you base coat then polish then top coat should I be roughing up the base coat before putting polish on? Do you have a video that shows the steps using base, polish and top coat application?

[@youngnailsinc]

Protein bond doesn't replace base coat in services that require it like a gel manicure, hard gel extensions, etc. The times we use when you don't need a base coat are wither with acrylics, or on top of an enhancement because the enhancement acts as the base not protein bond replacing the base. Hope that makes sense! kzbin.info/www/bejne/rpzOqXxpeq6hY7c

[@fifielahmad5248]

could you explain why younnails gel polish is fading

[@youngnailsinc]

Some color pigments, especially brighter colors, have a tendency to fade when exposed to excessive sunlight or cleaning-type chemicals.

[@Kellylynn_]

What if I don’t have protein bond yet?? 🥺

[@13lilsykos]

Holy chipped nails, Batman! I literally made a comment on their website video about my issue with nail polish chipping and BOOM, this video was put out. God?... I mean YN... Do y'all live in my head now? >.> Mebbe I'm a powerful psychic now who has the ESPN.... 🤔 What do I want to see in my next video... I mean your next video? (No offense meant, just my attempt at humor. It's just really cool that the timing on this turned out the way that it did.)

[@lupitaoliva5097]

Now what about if you put the Dehydrator bonder, no base code, then polish , then topcoat, would that be fine .im Cosmetologist I’ve always done acrylic nails since I was 12. I’m barely, jumping into gel nails. gel nails never have interest me since I’m so fond of acrylic but I started wearing jewelry on my nails and I’ve noticed that gel nail polishes work better with the gel glue when you put the jewels on so now I want to start doing gel refills until My said it’s completely all gel 🤪 I had done a beautiful art on my nails a day ago and I wash dishes the water was pretty hot and a lot of my nail polish started peeling off … i used to love buff to where they would be very glossy, now I only do that when I wear them natural but I still remove the line so I’ll stop doing that. Thank you for that. My husband was telling me not to do that as well. He knows so much nail stuff through me and hair stuff lol.

[@youngnailsinc]

Protein bond does not take the place of the base coat. If your gel polish says you need one, then you should use one.

[@nichenailss]

💜💜💜

[@ngnailtattoostudioandacade9759]

I don't have protein bond can I use primer or base coat before polish or top coat?

[@chc717]

You can use a different bonder :)

[@ngnailtattoostudioandacade9759]

What is the defarent between bond and primer

[@chc717]

@@ngnailtattoostudioandacade9759 with some brands it’s the same thing but I think there are brands who refer to a dehydrator as a primer. Dehydration is important but it doesn’t create adhesion like a bonding product does. I hope that makes sense

[@chc717]

Which primer do you have hun?

[@ngnailtattoostudioandacade9759]

Soliter company a Indian brand, acetone based primer.

[@1tuffcookie689]

Hahha.. too funny JUST watched an old video ..YN...with Greg... Saying use the protein bond!

[@elizabethware6693]

I’ve seen recently that people are mixing monomer w/acetone to eliminate the odor!?!

[@nichenailss]

YN’s 100 grit files! =GEL SUMO GRIP!

[@Monietheseamonster]

That 100 is my favorite!

[@rachelcoombs7739]

is swipe like alcohol?

[@youngnailsinc]

swipe is a alcohol and acetone based product formulated to cleanse the nail perfectly for product
