“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!

Love these classes! I’m a true newbie to nails no training at all except these videos 🙏 thank you so much Greg & young nails for putting this content out there for free❤

[@loyaltyasmr5449]

Greg is so awesome lol he looks so tired but yet it still so passionate about being a great teacher he is really easy to understand 💞

[@elisemassey2818]

Even his bad pearl was perfect. Lol. I hope to be good as this as I practice. Thanks for helping us out Greg. My husband even knows your voice! Lol

[@thenailarchitect0808]

To all my beginners I will say start with good habits ONLY ITS GET EASIER. don't start with bad habits I learned this from Greg. ! Thanks young nails for always being so freaking AWESOME 😎💋

[@jessijacobs8]

MasterClass 101 👏👏🤘🤘 All the basics right here. They don't even give this much detail in nail school. Thank you #YN especially Greg!! 💜🔥💜

[@Cheziii]

So true

[@helonbaker8104]

Best acrylic tutorial I’ve seen on YT.

[@kgirl1019]

Greg is thee master at nails and instructing. I can watch all day. Cracks me up “your crap pearl looks like a booger!” Haha Hes honest he’s direct he’s intelligent. I learn so much and I am so grateful.

[@debbiep99]

I've been recommending your videos and products to everyone who asks about my nails. Had a cashier all me for advice on what I use and I said young nails hands down. Yes, it's not cheap but it's the best product! Same with your teachings it is the best along with nail career education!

[@helenmatchem1225]

I think its cheaper than many but yes def so worth every penny!!!!

[@yasminghislain7929]

Does it offer worldwide shipping?

[@pennydickinson3258]

The joke, filing from the cuticle to the free edge and back with a very course file like T. T. creates a lot of damage to the nail. You are so right, people - do not do that!! Also, dragging the brush across the powder to gather a pearl is also so old-school and not as effective as what Greg is showing you here. Next generation applications are so much better. Thank you Young Nails!!

[@noracanales393]

Thank you for your amazing teaching. You are truly an inspiration to all of us. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@youngnailsinc]

You are so welcome

[@teathersboujeenailstuff]

Man you are the only person on this channel that I see do an application without wiping the product off I get so bothered watching other videos now I'm so glad I came across yn school

[@bewitching2u475]

I'm not a professional but my neighbor asked me to do short nails for her. I stood there dumbfounded with my thumb up my......I have a hard time doing my own coffin nails but I attempted them. Ya so a day later they fell off. I'm gonna save this video and use it as my bible for next time. Thanks Greg. This was very informative.

[@laygal8991]

I've been teaching myself for roughly two years and I'm not perfect nowhere near perfect but I'm pretty good now and Young Nails was one of the people that I truly listen to and I believe is the reason why I have a good technique I love his voice is so soothing

[@CJGfarm]

Awesome teacher. You can really see it from the students point of view.

[@Steffie90]

When i say people that i do long nails better then short nails they look at me if im crazy 🤣 but damn this will help me tomorrow because I have to do short nails and if everything go's well I will have my certification after doing nails for 5 years without a diplôme 🤭🤣 thnkx for sharing this 💋💋

[@jasminesalvagno2916]

I really appreciate you guys so much!! You guys are chill and laid back and real. I love every video you guys post! Thanks for being you and thanks for sharing your talent. I graduated in 1999 and I can’t tell you how hard I cracked up when you said hand prep filing is whack!! Lol 😂 Coochie coochie coo!!! 😂 I do use your drill and I love it!

[@cynthiahazebroek4281]

‘Tickle, tickle, tickle, Coochee, coochee coo’. It’s so funny when Greg does that. It remembers me perfectly how to do my filing al the time every time.

[@karenwalker4476]

“ Coochee coochee coo!” 🤣😂🤣

[@annivanca]

[@islenpozo1006]

[@patriciastrick4651]

Thanks so much , your a fantastic teacher so glad I found you, your lessons are the best

[@DoveNative]

I prefer to use acrylic as opposed to gel. This video is spot-on regarding awesome details and camera angles as well! Thank you for also including the size of the brush being used which really helps in understanding the bead size in relation to brush size, bravo!

[@kathytarman2302]

This is the best information. I needed this. I can’t have long nails and I have a hard time with shorter nails. I had to file so much. Thank you for sharing this information. You are a great teacher. I love you and what all of you do for us.

[@bbecita_lov389]

Yesssssssssssss love your video u are the best everything i know is because of u ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@youngnailsinc]

Aww you are so sweet! Thank you!

[@bbecita_lov389]

@@youngnailsinc u welcome

[@robertyvette36]

Greg you are the best! 😘😘

[@St0sch]

Finally! Actual explanation of how large a bead should be other t than large, medium or small. While practicing I haven't had an issue with ratio just how large the bead should be compared to the nail I'm doing. I am still learning shoo I only do mine, long, and my bf's, short, nails. Covid got in the way of going to school, so I watch and rewatch ALL of your videos. This is just one of the questions I've had that has now been answered.

[@sueclemente4030]

Greg you Rock with your teaching skills 🤠

[@gerardineberry6161]

Great teaching ☺☺ I will be back for MORE .. Thank you so much for your love of teaching and sharing 💕☺💜💅

[@SuperIcyKawaiiNails]

Such a Pro and great at articulating the process. ....such a inspiration

[@jessegirlb]

Thank you for this. Yes, it's less product, but the proportions and stuff are all different. I appreciate your taking time to lay it out.

[@myriahswrevitalize1989]

I just wanted to let you know that after watching this video (while doing my nails at the same time) I was able to find that perfect “dab dab dab” pearl to get the one pearl from cuticle to top down. - I’m so grateful to you and this company because I’ve been able to really push myself to learn something new during this pandemic and save money at the same time (not going to the salon) and your videos are by far the best educating and fun to learn how to do nails. Thank you again from the bottom of my heart. 💕💕

[@falasiajacob339]

Love you, love you and love you, vous êtes les meilleurs formateurs 🥰😘

[@genevakeith3876]

Oh my God, the shade 🤣..... I love this guy.

[@jedwin4491]

“Hand filling to prep is a JOKE!” lol so true and idk why that made me laugh so much! Don't be a JOKE 😂

[@ashtonsue5577]

Top5 most helpful videos for me 🙌

[@arleenvazquez3389]

Thanks to you I have improved a lot, you are the best teacher ever!! 💜

[@Jimndonna1]

I just found you this morning. I actually learned something. The tab on the back of the form. Making it level. Thank you soooooooo much. Your a good teacher!

[@Jimndonna1]

It’s almost like making your own tip. I subscribed because of your camera skills. Lol✌️

[@mrzhunniibbe2928]

Good Morning/Afternoon Mr Greg

I like your all the videos.you are a very best teacher.. If i can learning in YN school, is one of my dreams..thanks. Your explanation is excellent.💐💐

[@b00bala64]

In the past several years watching, this just might be the best and most helpful video I have watched on “Active Length” nails. Greg- Thank you very much!

[@shanielegance]

The Gems 💎 that you drop in this video. I’m beyond grateful. Thanks 🙏🏾

[@Jimndonna1]

I’m so glad I found you!

[@TheSketchyLatte]

Yes! Thank you Greg for helping me become a “nail ninja”!! You’re incredible! ❤️👍🏼

[@MysticChick]

I love that your protein base allows the tech to save time on so many steps. Instead of 4 prepping steps it’s is only two! Which I ❤️. I am interested in building a client base for nails. Your classroom is on purpose. Thank you!

[@evacarattini1438]

Thank you 🙏🏽 from the bottom of my heart ❤️ too 🥰

[@Miramani]

My favourite film so far :D

[@delithaharrell8515]

I fill like I just started nail school all over again , I wish I had went to your classes 20 yrs ago I’ve learned so much watching your videos I want to start my career all over again🥰 thanks so much for schooling me all over again

[@delithaharrell8515]

Sorry feel 😂

[@deborahyoung1954]

I just found your channel. Learning sooo much! Thank you!

[@youngnailsinc]

Welcome! We hope you enjoyed this video on short acrylic nails.

[@arleenvazquez3389]

Omg! This is the exact video I needed to see to learn details that we don't get in the class. Thank you very much👍🏻

[@sharexoshowxo]

Great demo, Greg!!! I've been a longtime user of YN products. I tell new techs to watch this channel to learn techniques and proper application. I went to nail school and there was no instructor. So I watched KZbin videos to learn how to do everything correctly. I also got educated from other techs, but your channel has always been my center of knowledge and how to put it into practice. Thank you Greg!! My success is due to you.❤💗

[@GurlGotTalent]

I love how you explain everything!! Thank you for teaching us how not to have a big ole jacked nail lol 😂

[@audreeabbott595]

As always Greg, you hit it out of the park! Thank you for teaching as well as you do, and sharing this with us. Respect, bro!

[@ddee51-g2g2]

Greg, THANK YOU SO MUCH for doing THIS video!!!!👊🏾👍🏾 I'm just an mature lady who is learning to do my own short nails.. total beginner, and I haven't seen many doing short acrylics or gel nail tutorials. I am so excited to practice your techniques. This video has shown many things I've been doing wrong. Great instructor, Great video!💚

[@moorefamily1338]

Big Fan of you guys. Just got my Ultimate Pro Kit and omg my work is gradually getting better. All the videos you guys make are are very helpful. Thank you!!! . 💜💜💜💜🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🥰🥰😊😊

We have a great beginners playlist available here: kzbin.info/aero/PLbrhuNO154v3LPLgNaBc3Sn8FinkONuK7

[@miRey1]

Your the best Greg! 👌I actually think it would be easier to sculpt a short nail than to apply a long tip and have to file more. Thanks

[@jenniecontreras-perez1516]

Thank you! I am learning so much from you.

[@arleenvazquez3389]

Love your last statement you said..You teach professionals to do nails for their living.. I need to do this, for living. Also, I loved when you mentioned to strength hand muscles with the correct position of the hands and have stabilization by using the pinky, really Im trying to domain this technique, but it still hurt, I need to continue until I get it natural. Due to the pandemic I lost my office job as Admin. Assistant. I studied the nail tech course back in 2017, but still need improving my techniques before I start with clients. Thank you very much the way you teach is perfect and love your professional techniques👍🏻

[@burbujas1987]

Omg this is just what I needed. Thank you! Going to try this next time I do my nails! I have just started doing my own nails.

[@rowenameijer9818]

Thanks so much for the tutorial! You’re much appreciated!

[@loriwalkermakeupandmanicur7717]

Brilliant! This is just what I need now I’m stepping into the world of acrylic application, particularly the way you form a bead, so far that’s been my weakness and I’ve not quite mastered consistency, but I’ll get there. Thank you 🙏 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@Scorpio.Iamher.]

This is my first time watching your videos, You are an excellent nail instructor. You are very thorough in your teaching and that is very important. A lot of other nail instructors skip a lot of steps or don't explain very clearly the steps. So far you are the best nail instructor that I have seen here on KZbin! Subscribed and clicked the bell.

[@jessicahooi7637]

I love this man he is a good teacher 😁 god 🙏 bless you and your work you are amazing good
