“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!

Greg, thank you. Getting back into doing acrylic (hard gel tech) and I felt like I was floundering, till I saw this. Thank you for the refresher. I hope you are still teaching classes as I will be visiting SoCal soon.

[@maxiejones4984]

Your channel is amazing, helpful, and very easy to comprehend and catch on. I’m getting back into nails after 30 years and although a lot has changed your channel is perfect. I ordered my kit today. ❤❤❤

[@alisassmannshausen6808]

[@dasdawon2225]

Thanks Greg!

[@Ashhthecreator]

I just received my YN acrylic pro kit and did 2 of my own nails a few days ago for the FIRST time and was experiencing a lot of worrisome over ruining my brush 🥲😂 luckily, I figured out how to bring it back to life and studied this super helpful video before continuing another 2 nails and the amount of differences is crazy🥹 thank you for sharing this 🙏🏼

[@alisassmannshausen6808]

I do absolutely love how you made the powders be the fastest with the monomer instead of having stronger smelling monomers to achieve it lol idk if it works that way. But all I know is the “odor” less monomers give you longer application time.

[@Angies_.nails_]

[@Siimply.Jessica]

can you mix speed and cover? i want to lighten speed bubblegum with speed pink and then add a little cover blush. is that possible? i know i can mix speed with speed .. but can you mix speed with cover?

[@youngnailsinc]

Yes, you can mix them, just know the set time will change then.

[@hellcatt488]

What about the cover powders? Are they the same technique as core?

[@youngnailsinc]

Cover powders are in the middle of core and speed. The has a faster setting time than core but slower than speed.

[@keesimeehan1357]

What if your temperature is consistent at 16 degrees (Australia) and your standed acrylic not speed is drying faster then it should. Is there another reason for your acrylic drying faster then it should?

[@youngnailsinc]

If you are working with a dryer consistency to your product, this can make it set faster. Also, if you are mixing brands and using one brand of liquid with another brand of powder, this can alter the expected set times.

[@3268nathaliew]

Are you able to make your products on your website available to Canada? 😩

[@youngnailsinc]

We are looking into it, but in the meantime, you can place an order through our customer service team.

[@lisaleathers]

Which of your acrylic is best for Crystal clear encapsulation?

[@lisaleathers]

Also I'm in school and I swear I've learned more from you almost 🤣🙄😒

[@youngnailsinc]

You can use core or speed clear. Both are the came clarity but different setting speeds.

[@bellanails3838]
