“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.

How to Remove and Reapply Fiber Gel with Proper E-file Technique

[@hootie2175]

I was using YN Synergy on my natural nails and just started using the Fiber Gel. The Fiber Gel is easier to maintain my shorties and I like that I don't have to use a base coat. I tell anyone who will listen that Young Nails is the truth! Great products, awesome tutorials and excellent customer service. I love it here!

[@cloie72]

I have used this on several clients already and they came back and their nails have grown more than normal. They are loving this stuff! I have been wearing it myself now for about a month and my nails have improved as well. This is for sure a fabulous product!!

[@queenbeemo42]

My daughter let me put some of this on with great trepidation. She’s ready for a fill now and she’s so excited because when it came off her nails are beautiful and hard. She is definitely loving it.

[@monicajaramillo1384]

Thanks G, this helped so much! Since it’s a new product that I wasn’t quite familiar with. All I did was look up mani-q fiber gel and it’s like you guys knew what we would be looking for😂 what comes after the initial application 👍🏽 #bosses

[@Godsdaughter771]

Can you apply gel polish on top of this?

[@youngnailsinc]

Yes you can.

[@calliesagen7713]

Can you use this as a base coat for gel polish? Also, can you remove without a bit and just a manual nail file? Thanks you!

[@youngnailsinc]

Yes, you can use gel polish on top of fiber gel. You could remove with a hand file, but it will take a long time.

[@calliesagen7713]

Thank you so much!

[@AutumnElaine]

I want to see it used as a builder from the pot, and know if the tiny fibers are rigid enough to repair a nail crack.

[@youngnailsinc]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/nKKVfpeJaM2IkJI

[@pamelakitchens5549]

Do I need some kind of collar to keep dust out of my drill ?

[@youngnailsinc]

If you are asking about the handpiece, you do not need anything on it, but always keep a bit in it, even when you are not working with it, to keep the dust out. If you are asking about the motor, make sure to put the adhesive that comes with it over the surface to help protect it. Also, after every use, make sure to dust it off or wipe it down to help keep it clean. Do not use acetone or other solvents as this can damage the surface.

[@callmekells802]

Can you apply a soak off gel or soak off builder gel as a slip layer on natural nails then go in with a hard gel? When comes time to remove, hypothetically could you file down the hard gel layer and then soak off the soak off layer to prevent from damaging the nail plate? Do soak off hard gels exist?

[@youngnailsinc]

Hard gel does not soak off as it is non-porous. Our ManiQ Fiber gel is a soft gel and can be soaked off.

[@moniquekotsiopoulos3581]

Can you apply gel color over this? What would the rest of the steps be?

[@youngnailsinc]

Yes, you can. Just go straight into applying color after curing the fiber gel.

[@GhettoStylewithEjai]

Question? Am I able to use Fiber Gel on my nail and sculpt on length with a nail form?

[@youngnailsinc]

No, fiber gel is a soft gel and not used for sculpting length.

[@lindachoy1452]

How can we get it around the cuticle area better? I didn't see you apply around the cuticle area? Did I miss something? TIA

[@lavenderlotionl6201]

I was about to point this out too! It’s like he’s inches away, lol! I don’t have this product itself, but I like using a small detail brush with my more viscous gels to get a good line around the cuticle

[@youngnailsinc]

The HD makes it seem like it’s a bigger than it is but you can use a striper or micro detailer brush to get even closer.

[@AuroraThunderfly]

Beginner question here, I noticed that the white area near the cuticle never got any gel on it in this video. Should the gel not be applied that close to the cuticle?

[@youngnailsinc]

When you apply any artificial product (acrylic, gel, gel polish, or traditional polish) you do need to leave a slight space between the product and the cuticle for it to adhere properly to the nail and not get lifting. When you see nails done on video, it looks farther away than it really is because of the camera magnification.

[@jessicajimenez6421]

I would love to see a video on how to get the pretty glitter look the model had before removal!

[@youngnailsinc]

It's called a glitter press. All I did was press the glitter I chose into the tacky layer after curing the Fiber gel. I used a makeup brush to press the glitter into the nail. Then you lightly dust off the excess glitter and I like to double top coat so I can't feel any texture.

[@jessicajimenez6421]

@@youngnailsinc than you, So easy!

[@GrandBayNailsJrob]

Ty

[@ginaprice5641]

After the second coat can you do regular polish?? Then after second coat can you go in with gel polish plus a top coat?

[@youngnailsinc]

You can use regular or gel polish on top of the fiber gel. I would top coat them if you do.

[@AnnieofBlueGables]

Can you put gel polish over the top? Also you don’t go to the cuticle, only side walls. How long does this stay on?

[@youngnailsinc]

Yes you can apply gel polish on top. When you apply any artificial product (acrylic, gel, gel polish, or traditional polish) you do need to leave a slight space between the product and the cuticle for it to adhere properly to the nail and not get lifting. When you see nails done on video, it looks farther away than it really is because of the camera magnification. With proper pre, you can keep this on for weeks.

[@jennifer4196]

What is the difference between Fiber Gel and Poly or Hybrid Gel?

[@youngnailsinc]

Fiber Gel is a great product for a natural nail overlay. It flexes & moves with the natural nail & the keratin in it helps to enhance the natural nail. The micro fibers within it also create a “mesh” within the product, so when it cures, it has a stronger bond over the nail. A hard gel works great if you are building length with a firm or over a tip. Ince cured, it becomes non porous, so if you have clients whose hands are in water or chemicals on a regular basis (ex. Hair stylists, bar tenders/servers, etc) hard gels tend to be a better option. As for polygel, this is not a product we use or manufacture, so we can't give more info on its benefits.

[@bakedfish3200]

Do i need to wipe the sticky layer before applying color gel polish ?

[@youngnailsinc]

No, you want to leave the sticky layer. This will help the gel polish adhere.

[@andreamcmillan6428]

Wow! No top coat?

[@youngnailsinc]

You don't need it, but you can definitely use it if you want.

[@carlacrooks3972]

After finishing the fiber gel nail, can I paint it with regular polish?

[@youngnailsinc]

Yes you can

tengo una pregunta y disculpa que lo haga en español,¿cuando retire la fibra en gel podría usar una capa de la misma,el gel con keratina y agregar otros colores de gel semipermanente ?,o este producto no acepta eso?

[@youngnailsinc]

Definitivamente puedes aplicar un color de esmalte en gel encima del gel de fibra.

[@milagrocastillo9097]

@@youngnailsinc muchas gracias por su respuesta y sobre todo sus videos

[@molliebarrett692]

What do u charge for removing and reapplying to natural nails

[@youngnailsinc]

Keep in mind that it is not necessary to completely remove all of the product when the client returns for maintenance. You can simply prep the surface (remove any separated product if necessary) and fill in the regrowing area. If you do need to remove all of the product and re-apply, you would charge for the application as you would for any new application and you would add on an additional charge for the removal. Keep in mind that your pricing should bring in the same amount “per hour” no matter what service you are doing. For example, if you charge $60 for a service that takes you an hour, you would charge $30 for a service that takes you 30 minutes, $15 for a service that takes 15 minutes.

[@Muzzelykke]

Is protein the same asp primer?

[@youngnailsinc]

Protein bond is a non acid primer.. it doesn’t chemically etch the nail like a traditional primer does. Protein stays sticky.. sticks to the natural nail and then sticks the product. Here is a video on Protein Bond & how to use it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fYqbfKmMgK-fh6c

[@mallorymoreno6842]

So if it's shrinking from the tip before I can get it in the lamp to cure, I probably have too much product, yes? I always end up with bulbous tips, a lot of product wasted, and shaping to do.

[@youngnailsinc]

If it's pulling away before going into the light, the nail surface may be too smooth. Make sure you are prepping with a medium arbor band or 150 grit hand file, not a buffer. Also, make sure you are using Protein Bond to give the nail a tacky surface to adhere to.

[@everlasting4life]

Is this soak off? I need to know before I purchase my clients don’t want hard gel! Thank you 😊

[@youngnailsinc]

Yes you can soak it off, however, if you want to make sure it soaks off easy don’t use protein bond. We prefer to remove with an e-file.

[@NailsbyBunnyBear]

When you said two layers, do you mean you put two coats of the mani q fiber? Is what your filing off with glitter mani q fiber gel? Thanks guys!! ❤️❤️🤣🙏

[@youngnailsinc]

Yes, 2 coats of the fiber gel. What is on the nails is the fiber gel with a glitter press on top.

[@yazooy3860]

No base coat needed ?

[@youngnailsinc]

Correct, you do not need base before fiber gel.

[@pamelakitchens5549]

So swipe can’t be used with fiber gel it has to be manicure cleanse what’s the difference between the two

[@youngnailsinc]

ManiQ Cleanser is for soft gels because it doesn't have any acetone in it. Swipe has a little acetone in it which works better on hard gels.

[@davi8813]

Has anyone with thin bendy nails tried this yet? Mine are extremely bendy naturally and I struggle to keep anything except extensions on them lol

[@chinamason6294]

I bought it..I have thin and bendy nails hopefully it works

[@Hdjdjdbddhh]

I have thin damage nails and this does work, my nails are slowly getting thicker. I use it as a base coat on dip or acrylic nails

[@pamelakitchens5549]

Can the fibergel be used to recreate a toenail that’s missing

[@youngnailsinc]

It can be used to build out a short extension or if the corner of the toenail broke off, but if you are trying to build a whole nail, you may have better results with acrylic or hard gel as these are designed for sculpting and will have more durability.

[@janelogan3930]

What about applying this product on someone that has ski jump nails.

[@youngnailsinc]

As with any other enhancement on a ski jump nail, as the nail grows out, you may have to remove the product every few fills as the nail grows upward to avoid any pocket lifting. Other than that, it should work well!

[@monicajaramillo1384]

I noticed you don’t have to cap the free edge with this product? Since you mentioned that when you do your wife’s nails it sometimes starts to separate from the free edge a little, would it be a bad idea to cap the free edge to prevent lifting for me?

[@youngnailsinc]

You can definitely cap the edge if you want. As long as you use Protein Bond, it will seal the product to the nail and you don't have to cap, but it may give you a little better wear on someone who is harder on their nails.

[@emilyxlove13]

Can I use this product as my base coat under gel polish and If so how do I go about doing that?

[@youngnailsinc]

Yes you can. You would go straight into applying your gel polish after curing the Fiber gel.

[@aikokakashi]

I'm just getting into doing my nails at home, but I don't have a drill. Can I soak this off or how do you completely remove it?

[@youngnailsinc]

Yes you can soak it off, however, if you want to make sure it soaks off easy don’t use protein bond. We prefer to remove with an e-file.

[@janemgarcia]

Is this a soak off product? Can you combine or top of other brands of gel color on top?

[@youngnailsinc]

Yes you can soak off. Unfortunately, we don't test our products with other brands so we can't speak to how they would work together. You can use our gel polish on top of fiber gel.

[@endijohnson5863]

No base coat?

[@youngnailsinc]

No, you don’t need a base coat before protein bond.

[@michellehousein247]

Can you use any file 100 or 150 ?

[@youngnailsinc]

We don’t test other brands so we can’t speak on them but we like to use our 150 grit

[@lorrieholsten2521]

So I purchased the clear fiber gel in pot, the art bundle and cosmic sands gel polish, after applying the fiber gel then a layer of protein bond, will I still be able to do my usual hand drawn art on top of it also, will I be able to create dimensional nails with glitter or mylar if I put them between the layers? Thanks in advance, any info is greatly appreciated! ❤

[@youngnailsinc]

Yes you can.

[@lorrieholsten2521]

@@youngnailsinc thank you

[@barbboran4567]

So what if I just want to use a hand file. What grit would you suggest.

[@youngnailsinc]

It will take a little longer, but to remove the product with a hand file, we would recommend the 150 grit. When you get closer to the natural nail, if you are not re-applying product, you can switch to a 180 buffer. If you are re-applying product, you do not need to remove it all, you can just remove the shine and fill in the outgrowth area and blend to the rest of the nail.

[@elsah3339]

YN, can you give us a chemical explanation on why it’s called “Fiber gel?” It sounds like it’s a softer version of gel but not sure how “fiber” plays into this.

[@youngnailsinc]

It is a thicker soft gel (soak-able) that has micro fibers mixed in to give more structure and durability to a natural nail.

Yes, the hard gel should adhere over the Fiber Gel, but keep in mind that the Fiber Gel is a soft gel and more flexible than the hard gel. So if you need the durability of the hard gel, it is best to remove the remaining Fiber Gel.
