“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!

Was I the only one who laughed so hard at the “dude it’s an asteroid?” Lmao.

[@liveandletlive7152]

I died!

[@shannawhinery2890]

Hahaha least I wasn’t the only one. Just got me.

[@liveandletlive7152]

@@shannawhinery2890 I can assure you there are others dying or peeing themselves from laughing

I cry 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Nope I did to 😂

[@aubreya2508]

This is single handedly the most helpful video I have watched about applying acrylic EVER. And I truly mean that. Thank you for giving us this information for free. I have failed so many times applying acrylic but I feel like this gave me a confidence boost. I definitely am a subscriber now. Thanks again. ❤️

[@sugar716O.G.]

I absolutely know that I'm super late on writing a comment for this video. Heck I am not sure anyone will see this. If you do see the video I just want to thank you for explaining the step-by-step techniques of your trade. You're like seriously a master now technician. You explain step by step with such ease. You don't fumble your words. You are just so comfortable and very sure and what you're doing when explaining. It really helps me to know that you know what you're doing and I can trust that what you're telling me is straight up going to work as a beginner. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

[@gigie1461]

Im starting to do nails bc i need to start supporting my family with the money and THIS VIDEOS ARE AMAZING. Most of the nail techs that upload videos in spanish are afraid to pass tips because they think we will steal clients or viewers or idk, so this has been a life saver, thank you.

[@MzLaDae2U]

Thank you❤️Nail Techs still need mentorship & support out here.

[@BlackNBlue10_4]

As someone who just started yesterday with making beads..... THANK YOU FOR THIS!!!!!!!! I love the nail community and how helpful everyone is at helping us all be great*** I also picked up the YN primer and I loooooovvveeee it!!!!!!!

[@annievanniekerk4650]

I have learned more in this clip than what I have in the previous 30 clips I’ve watched before this. I am a starter and the way you teach is absolutely brilliant!! Much love from South Africa ❤️🇿🇦

[@pennydickinson3258]

I appreciate what your saying in prep, because with T. T. and her purple terminator file which is very course, and filing the natural nail in "the direction the nail grows" back and forth to create a lot of etching in the nail, is causing damage. You are very gentle with your removing shine, as opposed to roughing up the natural nail. Thank you for that!!

[@Funtuckymomma76]

The trick of turning brush over after picking up bead,was a game changer.

[@AQuietPerspective]

36+ years doing enhancements and I still absolutely love watching Greg teach me all over again the basic 101's we all need from time to time. Awesome job buddy.🤓👏📯⭐

[@remotelylucy]

Young nails really go out their way to educate I love that

[@sallyburns7036]

Me too!

[@sistahzkreationz]

This is very helpful. When I graduated from school we learned everything by hand so the efile is foreign to me. But watching your videos really helped me. Thank you so much!

[@jleezy612]

When it comes to teaching nails...Greg is the best...bar none. He gives the most detailed, thorough, and easy to understand instruction. No one compares! Thank you for all the free knowledge because my nail school is seriously lacking.

[@leydaibarra2249]

Gurl we in the same page when it comes to the school situation..

[@angelrussell1616]

That's why I dont want to go to Nails school because so many people that go say the samething. Paying all that money and people are not even giving most important knowledge that we need I feel. But I do want to go for nails! So you basically saying you learn more from watching videos then go to school for this.

[@jleezy612]

@angelrussell1616 yeah, you basically pay thousands for a piece of paper because they are horrible at actually teaching.

[@bushram918]

I am from UK n I recently did my acrylic course bt I am learning alot from u guys.v informative n best way of teaching skills uve.👍

[@kgirl1019]

This should have been titled Boogers and Astroids. j/k he cracks me up. Thank you so much for all of your FREE instruction. its priceless. Youre the best. Thank you!!

[@Jolie702]

As always great tutorial! I just love how you explain and demonstrate things so it's easy to grasp the topics. It's really helped me improve my work

[@brookewright9722]

These instructional videos separate you from any other brand ! We can have the products and have that support we need to practice !!! Your amazing Guys

[@carinasoria8445]

Oh I love how simple and easy you make it

[@drariannamedici]

Ciao Greg, so I need to GI Joe my own hand because I don't have a hand 🤣🤣 thank goodness have you signature brush no boogars no asteroids thanks for helping that is my next step acrylic. Hugs from Italia

[@KA-vd9wm]

Please could you do a video about how to fill a nail properly? Sometimes I feel like a fill is a lot more work than a new set and maybe I'm just removing too much product, I don't know. I'd love to see an in depth video about it!

[@Nalabrisk]

Omgosh!! ...hi... yeah so licensed cosmetologist here, for 2 years now, I had a “waterski” instructor......I learned SO MUCH by far in your video then I did from my nail tech instructor, everything you said NOT to do I always did, and I am constantly practicing and practicing, I’m so happy I found this thank you soooo much for this video!!!

[@mystic0screams]

Yup that's exactly what I learnt. They called it the"drag" method. Beads were never consistent.

[@laetitiatrouchet711]

Thank you showing us how to get the perfect beads 🥰

[@Tweedlededumdum]

I love your bead application because it’s really easy to understand, you MAN you❣️😆

[@rosemcmanus1023]

I’ve watched many vids on this and this one is the goat 🐐. This is the only one that helped me to form my beads correctly can’t wait to watch more of youngnails.

[@Killacotton]

I am self teaching myself and your video just help correct my application I was doing everything wrong im now picking up beads that are not dry and that I can work with. You are awesome

[@lauragiraldo3107]

Right on time! Thank you so much and god bless you all!

[@cesiiavila471]

These videos are life savers 💯 for people who are at home trying to get self taught. This man is the real MVP!!!

[@ashcashcarter]

I ordered my acrylic kit from YN today and I’m so excited. I’ve done gel for about 8 years and never got into acrylic. This acrylic actually makes me excited to use it paired with the knowledge this channel has given me.

[@roxanneiten6328]

That was awesome! I wish I found y’all sooner!!! I developed a gel allergy. I’m hoping and praying - (yea I said praying) that I’m not allergic to acrylic. I never used to be. I’ve decided I want to go to nail school. I want to do this professionally. So I’m eager to search all of your videos to see how I can do this and if I can do this. Thank you again. This was so helpful.

[@xoxoBrittany]

Thank you so much I'm on like my 5th acrylic set and this video has answered so many questions and helped me in sooo many different areas! YOUNG NAILS HAVE THE BEST TUTORIALS🤞❣💅

[@cadiacaine]

❤ Thanks Greg!! I'm a gel artist so this really helped me out in my steps to move onto acrylic.

[@carinasoria8445]

Omg With this video I could see all the mistakes I keep making thank you for your video and help me a lot

[@heswhite33]

When you're watching a YN video, and you realise they didn't teach you sh*t in college haha! I learnt everything I know so far through this channel. Thank you 🙏

[@MsLadyT1246]

I don't know when you with to nail school but in 1996 I finished nail school and everything I know today I taught myself. In school back then they only teach you about polishing the nails and cleaning them that it I learn how to lay the acrylic on my own it came with a lot of practice.

[@pewpew9626]

Greg is one of my absolute fave! I saw him live on TikTok and found him through yn again. Love the products and after watching a few videos from this channel I’m finally getting the hang of it! Got a long way to go compared to the best of young nails. However I love learning from Greg, the attention to detail for prep and just to form a bead taught me it’s such an essential for a long lasting set

[@kathytarman2302]

Great information. Thank you for sharing all that you know and helping us that need it. You are a great teacher. Thank you again.

[@stlqt09]

This is the best tutorial on picking up acrylic beads on YT. Thank you truly♥

[@KateVidaure]

You’re amazing! Taught myself, I needed this video. New bead technique now, check that box, just saved me all that filing to fix it. You’re a real hero in quarantine

[@TheJhoniceboter]

i really like this man, he is so detailed.

[@sunshine1240]

Thank you so much YN. You did great!

[@jvohnarthur6241]

Thee best tutorial I've seen thus far!!

[@brianaholloway706]

I have had acrylic powder for two years now probably if not longer and I have not for the life of me been able to figure out how to make it work I could not work with it that’s why I went into jail products with so I had more time to work with it and didn’t have to worry about the consistency it came in the consistency I needed watching just a few of y’all’s videos I’ve been able to actually work with it the acrylic powder I tried so many times on my own and just could not do it I really appreciate you guys doing these videos I apologize for the lack of punctuation it’s hard for me to say punctuation when I’m talk to text I have an MS in my hand sometimes don’t type as well as I could that’s why I’m not a professional nail technician if my hands weren’t bad a lot of time I totally would want to be a professional nail technician because I absolutely love doing nails but for now I’m just an amateur and I can do mine and I’m learning how to be able to do my friends and families. But it’s videos like these that allow me to learn how to do it because I know trying to go and take formal classes wouldn’t work for me for many reasons with my other health issues so thank you again

[@sunshineday3037]

Ready for the perfect application!!

[@jj5282]

This is absolute gold, thank you so much!!!!

This tutorial is amazing and soooo thorough and easy to follow for beginners

[@riv8025]

Thank you very much for your kind sharing in teaching ... I thought using a size 6 brush was the reason i was getting booger 😂size pearls ending up with bunch of patching and overflowing cuticle.. Will definitely try again with the bounce bounce bounce technique and not draining almost all the liquid out👏😊 ❤💕💞my admiration to all of you and Greg's patient way of teaching.. Thank you❤

[@bohobellenails]

Self taught with acrylic and polygel, loved it so much I’m getting licensed so I can take clients part time… protein bond legit changed my nail game. My nails looked beautiful but were popping off as a whole nail within a week, not normal… acid primers almost always irritate a finger or two… non acid were not strong enough… my first protein bond set on myself lasted 3 weeks before I soaked off to do a different set! Lesson learned, buy the good stuff as it saves money in the long run because I won’t have clients coming back from issues. 😉

[@itsAurora-zq8cb]

Good luck. 👍

[@carmelogle9642]

Your teaching is so excellent thank u so much

[@LauraWilsonExists]

Thank you! I love your beginner videos. I’m a DIY-er with polygel and hope to graduate myself to acrylic eventually. Your instruction is awesome and the choice of adjectives is hilarious to boot. I’ll never be able to look at a bead without a booger/ asteroid comparison now 🤣

[@unknown-vm7oj]

I just ordered a polygel kit I'm worried. They make it look so easy but I'm having issues wth the beads but I'm hoping the polygel will b easier side they said it don't harden until it's cured so I'm hoping it's easier for me. But I don't want to give up on acrilics cause it's hard I want to do both.

[@Leeuwyfie7]

Thank you, love your video's it helps a lot!! ❤️
