“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!

That "over-grip" tip has been a game changer for me. Plus I can really pinch back the skin around the sidewalls. 💯👍🏼😁

[@scherie88]

I'm going to also try that.

[@stardustfactory8311]

Yess! My clients so far are only family members and they know I’m not a pro yet so they always have things to say about how I’m doing the work. I started using this grip and it’s both easier to maneuver the finger AND to block them from seeing the process. It allows me to think better when it’s just me & the nails.

[@mirnazapet8391]

Que puntas usas

[@mirnazapet8391]

Para retirar el esmalte

[@miRey1]

I needed this so bad, my gel polish would always run in sidewalls. Thank you!!

[@shellpeters4046]

It does not surprise me that you’re busy at all your work is phenomenal 🙂

[@Shauna_02]

I’m so excited to try to do my nails myself. I hope I can remember all I’ve learned today , I’ll process it in my sleep but your videos are amazing .

[@danaedgell5824]

I need to start doing that over grip. Sometimes I feel like the client is trying to thumb wrestle!!😂😂😂

[@Shauna_02]

😂😂😂

[@Martina010]

🤣 Best comment!

[@debrazeerp4085]

Greg this is the second time I watch your amazing tutorial, and it is just amazing that in 30 minutes you removed and re-applied that gel mani.👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻I am blown away and delighted to watch you getting the job done. Thanks for such awesome demonstration, I love your work! Thx so much!💕

[@kathytarman2302]

Great video. The colors are so beautiful. Thank you for sharing the right way to take gel polish off and new gel polish on. Thank you again. Please stay safe and healthy.

[@devon7584]

I have never seen a nail tech do the one stripe first and then go back and apply, and we were not taught that in nail school. Will have to try it to see if it works well.

[@elizabethware6693]

Since I’ve started using the efile following Greg’s directions life has been sooooo much better!!

[@carolineedwards4709]

Extremely good demonstration for gel polish technique. Great tip about filing insofar as not damaging and breaking the seal when filling at the end of the manicure as there are many misconceptions about this as I was led to believe it broke the seal so now we know it won't do damage. Thanks.💅

[@michellelardin834]

I absolutely love the dust collector! I really need to get some of these safety bits.

[@Claudiia847]

Thank you, so easy to follow. Beautiful colors.

[@janinnearias2768]

So true, soaking sucks! Loving the feather technique 😃💅🏻 Can’t wait to try this on my next gel polish client!

[@amandaconstanza]

I think I need more practice with the e-file because it takes me sooo loooong

[@misslk84]

Amazing video as always, your teaching is very much appreciated and any time I need to refresh on O always look up your videos. I was not taught half this stuff in nail class. These videos are such a valuable catalogue of information to help make me a better nail technician. 👌😁

[@marilynlvsnails]

This is perfect... thank u Master Greg!💕💋🙏

[@Pecosita929]

Wow that manicure looks amazing 🤩. I’m getting sooooooo pumped for this Black Friday sale! I hope I can get everything that I want. Love you guys and your products.

[@naomiwiehahn4035]

I just love watching your videos, as I learn so much, that I never new. I am not a qualified nail technician, but love nail products and i do my own nails.

[@nailsbyanacarolina4142]

We all learn something new everyday!! Young nails make the best videos 💕

[@cmayo5659]

Same here! Love these guys! No qualifications here either. I wouldn't mind getting a license but I don't want to go to beauty school, I only want to do nails. To charge money you are supposed to have a license in most places right? I am in LOVE with NAILS! 💅🥰🖌️

[@kathyb4448]

Just finished watching your video and I subscribed instantly! Such great tips for home gel nails.

[@lauragarcialg90]

Even in the small details such a great teacher

[@SRose-zb2so]

Thanks for the great gel tips💅!

[@OTseven]

You're just the absolute best. I'm in nail school now. Watched a ton of your videos 6 months prior to school. Was totally new to the whole technology of nails and service. I've got to say, your vids are more correct and higher quality than any other tech I've seen. Your tips are awesome. And your care is incredible. School teaches that bonds and acetone aren't "toxic". Completely untrue. Your training on using efile to remove gel polish as well as acrylic sculptures is so so so much healthier for clients nails, and lu n gs and whole body. SOAK ( acetone) sucks. I trust you and I absolutely live you.❤ by the way, your acid free protein bond is healthy and effective. Thank you. Also, the school has a contract with a different line of products for students...YET, the instructors all agree that YN products are the best and they personally use YN. Lol. Lol. Students all agree that YN is the best, too. So they promote your products even though the school as an institution promotes and sells a different line. I buy your products, too. THANK YOU. LOVE TO YOU ALL.

[@iluvmybulldogs]

Good Morning 😃 This is exactly what I need 🙏

[@TuizaLilia]

Thank you so much! Thos answered so many of my problems ❤️

[@shari-leedavis1576]

[@lindahensberg5331]

WOW thank you! Learned so much from this video!

[@sunnyf26]

So informative! I just had an issue with my polish “shrinking.” Thank you!

[@anolani]

This is such a great video for me. I’m a beginner just doing my own nails

[@nailsbyanacarolina4142]

Tfs💕 you're my favorite Greg 🤗 stay safe ✌️

[@DauphinPourpre]

I just found your channel. Thank you for your videos. I'm just learning how to my own gel manicures, a self care treat. Your videos and your products are very helpful.

[@latricia2906]

This is great, thank you 🤗👏🏽👏🏽

[@victoriacicchitti4697]

Es una clase genial, gracias!

[@nurseforlife1336]

Your teaching vocabulary is superb!!!!!

Such great work! I’m working on getting my manicure time down to at the most 45 minutes. I’m definitely going to try that tickling method for removing the polish. Thanks.

[@jnefitemayep1433]

How long does it usually take you to do a full set of nails or fill in?

[@tencynevarez1289]

Thank you Sharing Gel Polish is Important I learned a lot from this Tutorial .😊

[@5ive9inefx]

Good morning. Love it.

[@chc717]

Loved this, thank you. Could you possibly do a video on working with oily nails Including how different types of primer can help please?

[@AnnieofBlueGables]

So great!

[@zanazaki1541]

Great video very informative thank you 🥰

[@jennytocool]

3weeks?! I wish my nails grew that fast lol

[@youngnailsinc]

I actually think it was a bit longer than that but like Greg said it's been a crazy few weeks and time has gotten away from us lol

[@terio3955]

No you don't. Some day it would be nice to go 3 weeks without needing a fill without it looking too out grown

[@robing5810]

You should use your base coat gel that's in builder kit, it don't pull away. It's AMAZING! You weren't zoomed in but from the distance, it looks like the color pulled away from cuticle. Maybe it's just the shape of her natural cuticle. Thank you for showing us the proper way to do this. I'm tearing up my natural nails.

[@matthewkendevterkuramatthe3692]

it very very exciting, i learn alot ,from this.... before it was some how difficult for me ,buh i think I learnt alot from this thank you and wish to see your new video about it again 🥰

[@impressionsbyangie7418]

thnx guys, luv u all!!! xxoo

[@nickiebledsoe6302]

I think it looks good for a fast sufficient application! 🙂 Also I agree that soaking off flipping sucks! Lol but love gel! 🙂🙂❤️

[@naveedan4792]

[@beautybyheidifg7011]

[@youngnailsinc]

[@terio3955]

I'm making a list, checking it twice. This Christmas I'm going to be nice. To me

[@dallasclark1324]

❤️❤️

[@Cpr-uw4ki]

Best method of e file removal (bits and speeds) using Erica e file on mani q on natural nails (also do I need to remove base coat each time) and even more pressing, how to go about go time removal from natural nails given no base coat?! Thanks in advance Greg!

[@lila1sean]

Your feathering is so fast! I can't wait to be this fast :)

[@JDuece2009]

I LITERALLY REPEAT WHAT YOU SAY WHILE DOING IT!!! tickle tickle tickle......bounce bounce bounce....it helps me alot! Ive chsnged my grip to overhand like you do for BETTER CLIENT CONTROL!!! Its LITERALLY a VICE GRIP!! LOL #TheyCantMoveThatFinger lol!! BEST ADVICE EVER!!!

[@Shauna_02]

Lmfao me too !!!

[@maribeldelvalle8175]

Your my favorite Gray 😀😀😀

[@BeautyBlemishes]

What type of bit are you using for the cuticles? Is that a sanding bit?

[@mariaayala63]

Great work! I had the worst time today trying to efile glitter gel polish. What bit was that? I love how fast it works

[@sexygreeneyez88]

For me honestly I don’t have problems with the gel pulling away from the nail or any of that so this didn’t resonate with me but what did come as a problem was no cuticle work was done so her cuticles looked jagged and there was still color left on the nails so I’m not really sure what we’re supposed to be shown just a quick 30 minute manicure which I can still do and do all of the cuticle work and remove all of the polish!

[@dajanabalaban2074]

He didn't touched her cuticles at all 🙄😬🤦

[@Diamond_Killa]

That's all I focused on

[@hcarroll22]

You did a video where you used slick pour on the conversion base, then gel polish and top coat. When would you use that technique instead of the one taught in this video? Thank you for your concise and patient way you teach!

[@jentleasmr]

He used that technique for someone with weak, brittle nails and this technique I guess is for someone who’s nails are stronger

[@Dolldoll100]

Hi Greg Your dip pour powders would removing them be exactly the same as the gel? Thank you for this awesome video 😀

[@aliandra8476]

Do you have any horror stories of really fussy clients/ or what to do if someone starts to get out of order and upset with you unnecessarily like confrontational. Although you did your best job. Thanks. Would love to see a discussion about this x

[@youngnailsinc]

Here are some great videos for you: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y3OrdnZpeLCSj5o kzbin.info/www/bejne/gIulqX6jpquFn6s kzbin.info/www/bejne/roe0hKF4oceGpcU kzbin.info/www/bejne/iaDde2aBjJKHhbs

[@watkinsnailtech1]

Thank you for sharing, I just ordered several bits for my e file from YN, my question is, do you have remove all of the base coat before reapplying?

[@zanazaki1541]

Love all three colors the fantastical .... windfall..... and the little-gem however I was not able to find them on the website to order

[@michelleoss-payne9641]

Hey Greg! Questions...E-file speed 8k, with medium safety bit? Also, when you're "tickling," are you actually touching the nail going both directions? Or are you just touching when pulling toward you, and lifting when going away? Thank you! I never stop learning from you!

[@TuizaLilia]

They are always only touching the nail on one direction, never back and forth, only towards you

[@youngnailsinc]

Greg used the safety bit, coarse. Only going in one direction towards himself

[@boogzmay9532]

I’m just curious how come you never filed the free edge I did see you cut it but I never seen you file it to straighten it out and as you put the base coat on I seen lots of indentations on the free edge was that just a mistake???

[@PelDenise06]

I typically use the same techniques with my e-file to remove the product, and then I proceed as I would with a gel polish application (push cuticles, use small cuticle bit, swipe, protein bond, etc...). I noticed that you skipped the step of pushing back and cleaning the cuticles before the protein bond, like you would with any standard service. Is that because you used the diamond bit to feather around the cuticles? Just curious to see your take on this step. Your feedback is appreciated.💅🏻💗💗💗

[@OTseven]

I'm curious too.

[@rebeccaforde6550]

hey Greg great video i was wondering if you could pls make a video on how to apply gel or even normal nail polish on nails that are really short and the free edge doesn’t go past the tip of the finger because i always struggle with this and get it all over the tip of the finger lol thanks again for the great video it was a great refresher

[@jomartin6209]

This is great. Is the safety and diamond barrel bits both course? Or medium for the diamond?

[@erikapena4403]

Wow amazing time! Love your process 🥳 Definitely will be doing it your way from now on 🙌🏻🥳❤ TYSM!!

[@shaninailz5556]

YASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS IM HERE🙂

[@wendylemus9412]

Do you not have to cap the free edge with gel polish?

[@theflyingstephanie6156]

Do you have to cap the free edge?

[@pricetaylor93]

I feel like I make divots or bumps because of watching other videos saying it should be vertical strokes to the nail. Would you suggest more diagonal small motions or vertical long motions?

[@youngnailsinc]

If you are making divots it's probably the bit is dull or you are working on too low of a speed.

[@elmel2230]

What about capping the free edge?

[@mayraespinoza1215]

Are you using fine, medium or coarse bit??

[@lacie_the_esthi2616]

So at my spa, we soak the nails in water in the beginning to soften the cuticles.. we also massage the hands and arms with lotion… when should I use the drill on the nail bed to get off any oils?

[@youngnailsinc]

If you are applying enhancements, we do not recommend soaking the nails or applying lotions or oils prior to the service. We would follow the steps for prepping (push back cuticles, remove shine with the efile and medium sanding band, cleanse with Swipe and apply 2 coats of Protein Bond), apply and finish your enhancements. Once the enhancements are finished, then you can apply any oils, lotions, scrubs, etc. This way the water or oils won't interfere with your adhesion prior to application.

[@countrystrong3848]

Wonder if it isn't necessary to cap the ends with polish?

[@mamacitad11]

Can you please do a video like this but with slickpour??

[@tranquility9325]

She has the prettiest hands

[@youngnailsinc]

Thank you! We hope you enjoyed this video on how to remove and reapply gel polish.

[@tranquility9325]

@@youngnailsinc I did thank you

[@danceallnight1693]

Thank you so much this was really informative. The one thing that I was surprised about was you filing the edges after you applied the set, I thought that would break the seal of the top go on the capped edge? Or does it not do that?

[@youngnailsinc]

As long as you apply Protein Bond, you do not need to cap the free edge. Our gel polish will adhere well to the filed surface with Protein Bond. Some people like to cap the edges for a more finished look, but it is not necessary.

[@mzmartin6171]

Can you do a synergy gel tutorial? Applying, and removing and or fill?

[@youngnailsinc]

This video should help you out(: kzbin.info/www/bejne/b53ZepuBoLqqjpo

[@alizefitzgerald8720]

When wiping the dispersion layer for if it pulled away, can that trick work with any gel base that does that?

[@youngnailsinc]

Unfortunately, we can't speak on other brands as we don't test them. We trust this video on removing and reapplying gel polish met your expectations.

[@dtrain9203]

So you file and shape the nail after the polish has been applied? 🤔

[@michelleoss-payne9641]

It's really just refining the shape after the polish is applied. Sometimes the gel polish application adds some bulk to the original filing that is easily refined with a fine grit file.

[@debbiebenjamin7911]

This color looks like milk chocolate. Yum. :)

[@stacyrobbins2378]

How long or how many uses can you get out of a bit

[@SamMcFad]

No capping free edge and filing after application - makes me nervous for chipping????

[@CherryBlossomNailArt]

Protein bond is the trick and it prevents chipping from the edges

[@michellelardin834]

I never cap natural nails. People pick their teeth and stuff and that always leads to chipping in my experience.

[@tanyastone998]

Hi just asking if your website is down as I’m trying to place my order and the page just won’t open up , can you help thanks Tanya Stone xxx

[@227RM]

Oh my God I got the worst gel nail allergic reaction in the world. It's is so painful. It started out being just red and irritated and then all of a sudden and they were drying irritated cracking too full on infected. I've never been allergic to acrylic but I guess I am to gel. It's been 2 and 1/2 weeks of straight pain went to the doctor got some topical cream and some antibiotic I go through at least 50 bandaids within a couple days.

[@zeta802]

Can you show how to pinch a gel nail please?

[@misse286]

How did you get that ring light above you like that?

[@shellsnailss7193]

Question...which base are you using in this video please? Can I use regular base in a pot for a gel polish over natural nail?

[@youngnailsinc]

He is using our ManiQ Base. www.youngnails.com/products/1-3-oz-mqc-base-coat

[@TuizaLilia]

What file bit to use for removing the gel polish?

[@youngnailsinc]

safety bit, coarse(:

[@pilarvarela669]

E file and gel aplication where amazing, i did get excellent tips. But my clients would not accept that cuticle prep… I don’t know… mabe the expectations are different in my country?
