“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!

He IS a great teacher. He makes this look so easy lol

[@NailsofNorway]

Great step by step video.😊👏 You always talk about the upper arch witch is really important👍 but I miss seeing you educate people about the strength of the inner c-curve. That is such a great bonus that you get when you fit a form right. But if you file the sides on a pre-made tip you often loose that vital inner strength. I know that you also know all about it. So my wish is to also hear more about the great c-curve combined with the upper arch 😉😘 Tfs guys 💕💕

If you've built your nail and you see that you need a little bit more product after wiling away sticky layer and maybe filed a little bit what is the best way to add more product do you need to put more base down or can you just put more gel right on the nail????

[@NailsofNorway]

I am not speaking for YN but just as a nailteck and gel lover😁. You can just put some protein bond over as an extra adhesion and then add more gel😉👍

[@youngnailsinc]

Apply protein bond then add gel where necessary

[@_heatheryvonne_]

Greg specifically says to not remove the dispersion layer as we are building strength; what if the client touches her fuzzy sweater (or whatever) and you HAVE to remove that uncured layer, how do I make sure the next layer adheres properly to the next layer? Filing to make sure there is texture on the layer I had to clean/wipe off? Tyfs!! ❤️

[@youngnailsinc]

Yes, file, then protein bond

[@_heatheryvonne_]

@@youngnailsinc Awesome. Thank you!! ❤️

[@erikadiaz5580]

[@alisassmannshausen6808]

When doing a client hand, do you have to have the e-file in forward and reverse for left or right hand? If so which one for which

[@carolineinserra5754]

I love the nail shape but how do you make sure all your nails are even on one hand, I always struggle with that

[@youngnailsinc]

Measure them against each other

[@deannacapps84]

Is there any possible way you can make an instructional video about pinching? When is it good to pinch, when is it not good? Can you use the clear pinch clips? I have so many questions. I recently found out I'm aleric to monomer. So im getting into hard gel. It's a whole different world.

[@youngnailsinc]

Great idea, definitely noted!!

[@deannacapps84]

@@youngnailsinc thank you!

[@blessyourheart836]

Would you suggest this product for self application? I’m really interested in it, but to do my own nails LOL I just don’t know how hard exactly that would be I’ve done my own nails before but mainly with dip powder some acrylic but not much.

[@youngnailsinc]

Yea these are totally user friendly

[@SomeoneInAppalachia]

Would lamp wattage effect the pinching timeframe?

[@youngnailsinc]

Yes most likely

[@dimakatsocatherinemashiane1621]

Which one do you guys prefer.. GEL OR ACRYLIC?

[@youngnailsinc]

Both! Just depends on what the clients nails are telling you they need.

[@andreacavalcanti2280]

How would you reduce the heat spike with a regular lamp?

[@youngnailsinc]

The burning sensation is common with hard gel because it is the product reacting to the light. The product is racing to cure itself bottom to top inside out so on thin nails or if there is a lot of product you will feel a burn. Best way to eliminate this is by flash curing. Meaning less exposure to the light at first, our universal lamps have a dimming setting that emits 1/2 power, if your lamp doesn’t have this setting you can achieve the same thing by “teasing” their hand in the light as in go in & fully back out 3-5 times before going all the way in. I used to explain it to clients like a really hot bath, jump straight in & it’s scorching but lightly inch your way in it’s fine.

[@friendlyblckhottie]

should protein bond be cured before applying base gel???

[@youngnailsinc]

No, by the time you are done applying to all 10 nails you are good to apply your product.

[@HobbyNails]

I recommend you to update your technique....you using the sanding band on the natural nail gave me a shock.....Now a days we use rubber base that doesn't need to much nail prepping ;-)

[@youngnailsinc]

We don't carry a rubber base as we have not found one we like. The sanding band and diamond bits are perfectly safe for the natural nail as long as the tech knows what they are doing. :)

[@ice1055]

My nail tech calls it Aletto sounds so fancy

[@youngnailsinc]

[@lisathompson5852]

Can the next shape you guys do please be the pipe shape?

[@XOXOlove57]

Is it possible to shorten a sculpted stiletto without losing its structure ??

[@youngnailsinc]

Somewhat especially if it is just slightly shortened but honestly often the slender shape of the stiletto is lost if shortening substantially

[@XOXOlove57]

YoungNailsInc good to know, thank you for your reply! I need more experience on this subject!

[@allymccormack905]

What is the difference between the almond and almonetto shapes?

[@youngnailsinc]

Almondetto is like a hybrid of an Almond an a stiletto shape! So think of a it as a slightly longer almond shape! ❤️
