“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!

I lost my confidence doing nails, life happened during training and it did damage me.

[@trueladytee26]

I love the fact that she said "depending on the cuticles" in response to him saying it only takes 1-2 minutes for her to prep. We have to remember that most beginner nail tech clients have..."rough cuticles" and will take longer to prep. But I'm still trying to get down to 5 minutes...

[@nailessencebymel6963]

I'm 57 and have been doing nails since 2001. I love learning. I have learned a lot from you all. I watch you and all the You Tubers that do nails. I just love learning. I don't post my nail pics because my daughters have both told me I don't post my nails correctly. Thank you, Young Nails family. I enjoy learning every day ❤

[@cherylflores803]

I just got my dust collector and what a game changer 😁 if you don't have the YN dust collector you have to get one!!!!

[@moo9768]

I'm 26, starting training later in the year, 4 days a week and I am so excited. I want to soak up everything like a sponge but I think me being a perfectionist is what will trip me up. I can already see myself taking wayyy too much time on everything because I don't want to fail and I don't want my nails to look like I just started learning how to do nails lol I know that I'm not going to be as nearly as good as I am in a few years and I need to remind myself I have plenty of time for growth and learning new things and developing better skills to make beautiful nails.

[@allisonbundy3533]

Thank you! I needed this video at this time. I’m a year into this journey coming from being an Esthetician and starting at 55 so, it’s definitely been a learning curve and a challenge to not beat myself up for doing something new and not being “perfect” right away.

[@LimeLady1010]

We never know everything! There is ALWAYS new things to learn in this industry and new or experienced folks can teach each other!

[@a7744ry]

Makes sense to use products you like straight away, and use electric file straight away. I work at a salon that doesn't use electric files even on acrylic new sets or fill, and I want to do acrylic but without e-file it's intimidating

[@nahanng7791]

The hardest part for me in nails learning so far is how to cut the cuticle and using efile cause I always nervous of cutting or burning them

[@lorieparker5767]

i totally agree! even as an expert in your own specific field i feel like you must always remain teachable. i was one of those people who thought they knew everything because i had experience in nursing field and knew a lot of medical people and it wasn't u til i humbled myself and shut my mouth that i was able to excel at being a nurse but to this day i still learn something every day and then he tried to do the same with learning nails. always remaining teachable will ensure success at everything in life!

[@Nancy-zs4ty]

Omg this is me !!! lol I over think my ending results lol I pick at every little detail definitely glad to hear this from you . Taking in everything you guys spoke about 😅❤.

[@meen0ru]

This is making me feel pretty good!! Cos I’ve kept my mind open to learning different skills, just dove in to using the e-file even though I was scared (a sanding band and a couple minutes could be your nail prep time, just sayin!), and I think it’s been fun using a bunch of different products: acrylic, gel, polygel, gel-x, hard gel. I have my favorites, sure, but I understand that different people like different techniques. Cos my focus has been having fun while giving people cute nails that they can be happy about. That’s all I want. And I think the most important skill for me, other than getting better at the technical side, has been relationship building! That and I had to realize that not everyone wants kawaii magical girl nails like I do, lololol.

[@allykitten2003]

I’m starting my academy tomorrow on a 22 week course two nights a week I’m very excited to learn these new skills I did a taster course when I was 15 and loved it but life happened and now I’m 39 and searching for my creative side again I feel ready to learn and I’m going to have fun doing it. Thanks for this video it has helped calm my anxiety around the perfectionist in me 😂

[@yourmuthha]

Thanks for teaching all the nooks and crannies they don't teach in school❤💅

[@SarahButler-qj1zh]

In school (about 2 years ago) I told

[@mswifeycatlady7583]

Thank you so so much for your videos, advice and insight 💐💐

[@ZestasLife]

I love this information. Thank you!

[@Ges-ou3mk]

This advice is awesome and I'm so glad I watched this. I've seen the girls in school speak to the "I'm only going to specialize in this area.." and that's all they practice working on. Why paint yourself in a box and lose potential clients? Keeping your options always open, be open minded, learn everything you possibly can....great things will always follow those who seek to learn.

[@danim4833]

Loved this video! I’m knew to nails and learning at home until I can afford to go to school. I will be the first to admit I focus way too much on perfection. Thank you for this video and I’ll be sure to remind myself to cut myself some slack while I’m learning ❤️

[@catarinafernandes3046]

I went and got my license a year ago. I invested money I didn't have and started doing nails at home. My mom was the only client I had so I gave up and thought that having no clients was a sign I should give up. 4 months later I got pregnant and being high risk gave me a ton of time and I started investing it in learning and now I regained confidence to try again. Thank you for teaching me and keeping me company
