“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.

You have no idea how much I (and probably many others) appreciate your content. You explain everything so well, even the tiniest details! I've finished cosmetology school where I was taught how to do gel nails, but I am still uncomfortable with doing them. You and your team break it down so it's so easy to follow! You've been so unbelievably helpful. I just wanted to say thank you to everyone from Young Nails! :)

[@youngnailsinc]

That is amazing! Thank you so much for sharing

[@admiraferizovic3556]

Yes

[@tamarah_styles]

There is so many e-file bits on the market it’s hard to know what to buy, so I ordered the new set & I can already tell it’s improved my confidence when it comes to my e-file.

[@youngnailsinc]

nice

[@briannagurl10888]

You know this is literally the only video that shows you which drill bit to use to clean up the excess dried gel polish from the cuticles. I have a client and I cured her nails after having messy cuticles and I’m here thinking what’s the fastest way to clean the excess without screwing up her polish. And this is the only video that shows me . Even though your not talking about flooded nails . This helped me . Thank you

[@ekim8958]

I'm not a nail tech but decided to learn since the last two nail techs were drill happy on removing acrylic from my nails. Leaving my poor natural nails brittle. Came across YN on KZbin and bought several items. I love that you educate your viewers on how to use the actual products along with giving tips on how to do nails! For this reason, I'm buying these cuticle bits from you instead of Amazon. Take my money! 😂

[@karenmcdoanld8805]

Great tip!! It's a mess to clean up around the cuticle when you hit it with polish. Now we know how to!! Thank you Greg!!

[@youngnailsinc]

Totally! You're welcome

[@JekkaArmstrong]

I just don't understand how YN videos ever get "unlikes"! I've been watching these videos for years and have learned so much! My goal is to get to a OWC within the next year to learn so much more.

[@youngnailsinc]

lol just goes to show not everything is for everyone and that is okay! We would love to have you out for an OWC sometime.

Yep! Universal

Hi what is the drill bit called? Your amazing guys ,Thank you

[@marisafaith]

It makes me happy that you guys are launching these and explaining this so well. I've been enamoured with the whole Russian Manicure technique but I have no idea what they're saying in the tutorials lol! As a result, I know I've been doing it all wrong. So, do any of the bits EVER make contact with the actual nail plate?

[@youngnailsinc]

lol, yes they do but they are diamond bits so they are soft.

[@marisafaith]

@@youngnailsinc Ok, thanks! My white ceramic cone bit is probably the sole culprit of my nail damage when I'm removing gel. I still need to practice that technique with a much lighter hand lol. No worries though! I only practice on myself with these bits, not clients. 🤑😬👌🏽

[@thekeishabeffect]

[@songbirdmedows]

I will definitely be looking forward to purchasing these as soon as they come into my supplier. As always a great video. I just love watching you work. Question though, What bit did you use to remove the color? Thanks

[@youngnailsinc]

The bit used at the end was the square bit

[@songbirdmedows]

YoungNailsInc What bit did he use to remove the color? Thanks

[@emmamonroe1115]

do you recommend pushing back the cuticles to prep fingers with no existing polish before doing this?

[@catina4082]

Nice tips

[@youngnailsinc]

❤️❤️

[@lisathompson5852]

Could this be used to prepare the nail for a fill rather than an arbor band? Or does it not remove enough surface shine and etch well enough for adhesion?

[@youngnailsinc]

It could, it would just take you an extremely long time since these are so tiny

[@tanyastone998]

Hi I love your video s , I live on the Isle of Wight UK and I’d love to start using your products as I’m a professional Nail Technician. I also would like to buy the Square ended cuticle bit , also your Signature Brush . I see there is a U.K. website where I can get most of your products, but I can’t buy the cuticle bits . Can you help . Many thanks Tanya xxx

[@youngnailsinc]

check out our list of distributors so you can see who sells our products near you(: www.youngnails.com/locate-distributor/

[@Nesskake1111]

Can this be used to clean up around the cuticle with acrylic application?

[@youngnailsinc]

Yep, although be aware most of the time if acrylic comes in contact w/ the cuticle it will cause lifting

[@natashagordon5478]

Do you ship to Canada

[@Poppi_Weasel]

These Look Nice! What do all the Colors mean?

[@alexmurtagh6757]

I am a little confused with the new bits, I saw on your website a set of trio dry of three bits, but they look a little different from what you are using in the video

[@alexdominguez3190]

Are the bits extra fine?

[@lIJessaIl]

Can you just use the DIAMOND CUTICLE ROUND BIT MEDIUM to also clean the extra protein growth? I only do my nails so idk 🤷🏻‍♀️ if i really need all three or which do u recommend

[@youngnailsinc]

[@rosenewton1168]

Do you recommend all the bits or do you prefer one over the other?

[@slanthier626]

That’s what I’m wondering..

[@hammypie]

So with the square bit I can easily remove a little flooding that has been cured?

[@youngnailsinc]

Yes, the square cuticle bit can be used for that.

[@nailsbylaura7349]

Could you use this before applying enhancements

[@youngnailsinc]

Yes you can.

[@kenziehurlock]

I might purchase when the Tornado is back in stock

[@youngnailsinc]

It will be back very very soon!

Not as of normal sales but sometimes during flash sales we bundle them

[@elleinadcollection2510]

Will these bits fit any e file I have a melodysusie drill

[@chaozinga]

They probably are standard sizes so they would fit your Melody Susie efile since Melody Susie's efiles are designed to fit all standard bit sizes 😊

[@shodgate]

Are those Diamond burs you are using in the Handpiece?

Yes, they are our diamond cuticle bits. www.youngnails.com/products/diamond-cuticle-square-bit-medium www.youngnails.com/products/diamond-cuticle-ball-bit-coarse www.youngnails.com/products/diamond-cuticle-round-bit-medium

[@chantewaters150]

Quick question- how come some techs use sanding bits instead of these? These bits seem SO much easier with the cuticle area

[@fernandaaguirre9166]

What is the pink under the gel polish ? Fiber gel or hard gel? And what is it for?

[@youngnailsinc]

It's cover pink acrylic powder.

[@carolyn1590]

Can these bits be used by lefty's also.

[@youngnailsinc]

Yep they are universal

[@husslemotivate777]

Does the diamond cuticle ball bit fit melody Susie nail drill ? Someone pls lmk

[@youngnailsinc]

the bits should be fine with other e-files

[@tianawells8827]

Are you going to have a sale on your efile anytime soon?

[@youngnailsinc]

Stay tuned on our social to find out

[@ShyerLady]

How do u make sure that bit isnt digging into the surface of natural nail? Over time my nails developed indents from my efile.

[@patriciagallacher6741]

Always try your very best to keep the bits flat,flat as in the same direction of the nail and don't apply any pressure, slow speed too. Hope you don't mind me answering but l too have done this too when I first started doing my nails, always thought applying pressure was good but it wasn't, l was doing more damage. I'm sure Greg will help you out when he sees this.

[@ShyerLady]

@@patriciagallacher6741 Thanks! I am new at nails just like u said it happened to u as a beginner. I think Im holding the file at an angle rather than flat. Great advice thanks.

[@youngnailsinc]

Right like Patricia mentioned often it is the angle of the bit as well as pressure. There shouldn't be any pressure applied let the machine do the work for you

[@SomeoneInAppalachia]

Agree 100% with Patricia 💜 I'll add a thought: As Patricia said, don't apply extra pressure. Your bit should be doing the work itself. If you're feeling the need to apply pressure, it could be that the quality of the bit is poor. In my humble opinion, bits are one of the areas that you need to invest in, especially ones that are used on and around skin and the natural nail.

[@empogirl]

How many sets should the bits last for? How long before it needs to be tossed

[@youngnailsinc]

These are diamond bits and won't be used as often or with as much wear as a removal bit would so I would say these will last about a month each give or take. Since these aren't being used on hard surfaces they shouldn't wear down as quickly.

[@empogirl]

A bit aggressive but to each their own.

[@kristinowens899]

My drill has a spin dial, no numbers tho, where about would 4000 rpm's be? It goes to 30,000 rpm's. Thanks, I'm new, and honestly kind of scared!

[@chaozinga]

You would turn it up just slightly since the efile normally starts at 1000 or sometimes 3000 rpm's 😊

[@akanetoriyasu9337]

My bits dont fit on the file, but theyre a set. Im confused?

@youngnailsinc This looks great! so i still dont understand why its so controversial (the Russian Manicure controversy), Help im so confused!!!!

[@youngnailsinc]

I think just sometimes it is taken to the extreme, cuticle work should be to maintain the cuticles and remove dead over growth, never cutting live skin

[@KR-mx4nt]

@@youngnailsinc Thanks, so if these bits touch up against the live skin that is bad, like we need to keep them from doing that even a little bit and only use on just the nail plate?

[@dizzyrizzi6246]

K R these bits won’t damage the skin. They’re meant to be used on the skin to get rid of dead skin and cuticle on the nail bed. The controversy with the Russian manicure is that they typically use cuticle scissors to remove live skin. Just remember to keep your efile on a lower speed when you do cuticle prep, personally I don’t go beyond 5 or 6 thousand rpms. Hope this helps you out

[@KR-mx4nt]

@@dizzyrizzi6246 Thanks so much, im still confused unfortunately because the article in NAIL Magazine by Doug Schoon made it sound like these bits cause small dermabrasion and that is why the Rusdian manicure style is bad, so im still confused lol : (

[@dizzyrizzi6246]

K R he’s probably talking about taking it to the extreme. I’ve seen some instances where a hard callous had built up because of aggressive “dry skin” removal. If you go lightly, not apply pressure, keep your rpms low and use clean bits there should never be a problem. Another thing to take into account is frequency, you should never ever work the cuticles more than once every 2 or 3 weeks. That can cause trauma to the skin and cause callouses to build.

[@brasuca90]

Is this for sale on Amazon?

[@youngnailsinc]

We do have our products available on amazon, but not all of our bits are available there. All of these are available on our website though.
