“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!

[@leannvogt2269]

Great video as always. Always excited to see what you are going to teach on nail school videos. Thank you for doing them.

[@luzvega8527]

I've been a working nail tech for a full month now and have some great sets. Thank you so much Young nails. ..I hope to one day work for you . 🙏😘

[@Phia8-cs7sh]

She sounds really good is what she sounds like . Speaks clearly and explains well .

[@hazelchimbidzikai870]

So grateful for this video exactly what I need how to size and position to lay. My mentor unfortunately taught me placing slightly halfway down from the cuticle and the outcome is not as perfect. But this is a tip for sure! Will definitely use this for practice

[@loveenalways]

this was a great video ms Tracey. I thought I would never see it cause Greg doesn't do tips lol. but I really enjoyed this video and I'm very thankful. love y'all ❤❤

[@traceyreierson5166]

emony jackson hahaa well I mostly sculpt too, but it’s always a good idea to teach different ways of doing things.

[@MegaChi11]

This is so relaxing to watch. I love acrylic nails, it's fun.

[@beautifulblueeyes198]

It is nice to see Tracey give Nail school advise.

[@danielledouglas2156]

I always love y'all tips and tricks!

[@helenenicholson6099]

Thanx Tracy, cleard up some issues i've experienced with "self application". I mean, i've been doing my own nails (tips/full) since i was twelve and could never quite get rid of those bubbles... But i have tried this method, and it is by far the best...

[@traceyreierson5166]

[@isnatchedyourweavehaha8584]

What?just using glue like your meant to?

[@vanessakoons]

Love Tracy. Love Greg too but more vids from her 😂😂😂. Not because one is better than the other but it’s helpful for two different and wildly talented people to explain things in different ways. At least helpful to me 🙂

[@songbirdmedows]

Thank you for this video. I myself have never used tips on a client. However I have tried numerous times to put a tip on myself in the last 13 years that I have been a nail tech. I have never ever had success for some reason the tips will not adhere. I have used many different nail glue’s but was never trained how to do this. Now I know that the reason the tips will not adhere is because I didn’t prep the nail first before I tried to glue on the tip LOL. Rookie mistake although I was trained to sculpt nails and not to glue on tips. I can’t wait to try this after the holiday merry Christmas to you and yours and happy New Year’s 😊🎄

[@callmeme1898]

I do forms too but wantet to do tipps today. I thought :" pff how difficult can it be..." and after 3 fingers i went back to my forms. I didnt prep the nails either🙈

[@christeendonnelly9813]

I'd like to think you did this video for me, as I asked a few weeks ago if there was any difference between tips and forms as I never see you guys using tips. However i realize this video is a year old! Lol thanks for sharing. You addressed the issue I have when applying tips with this video. I always get air pockets when glueing. Thanks guys much respect.

I never realized the fitting problem until trying out glue-on nails. I thought they should be the same width as my nails but I was very wrong... It was uncomfortable and kept popping. Wish that I watched this videos at that time.

[@allycat1271]

The nail salons in my town needs to take some notes from yall!👏👏👏 I really want to open a nail salon here because I know it would make good money. Since I've moved here and realized how much the salons here suck I started doing my own nails and the amount of people who asked me where I got my nails done and I told them it was me and they asked me to do their nails I couldnt even tell you. I'm not qualified to do other peoples nails though I'm just self taught through youtube. I want to go to nail school and open a salon here where I live with young nails products!!🤗🤗

[@ASMRyouVEGANyet]

Did you do it? My friend opened up her salon and she has been extremely successful. She's even done Ariana Grande's nails and done fashion shoots. Hope you follow your dreams!

I just bought the young nails brush on glue for the nail tips but I was wondering can it also be used to transfer the art from nail art foils?

Two question: 1-Can I use this kind of tips with normal/regular polish? 2-what number of buff are the right one for fake nails?

[@ppema99]

I'm starting to do my own acrylic nails and I know I have a lot of learning to do what nail glue do you recommend I use?? Can I use super glue to glue my tips?

[@preetiagarwal4593]

Can you tell me the technique to merge the nails. Cos when i do even after working hard still when i apply polish it is visible the smile line of the nails

[@lenakhatun893]

file down the line to make it non visible, put on a prep gel and then paint it

[@teresabrinkman7484]

Great tips Tracey! THANKS

You mean her voice is wavering? That’s pretty common…

[@ODaughterofZionMinistries]

I did my own gel nails today for the first time and I wish I watched this before because I made error number 2 forcing the tip down and yea I can see the edge of it under the gel and ait under it.. ahh well live n learn right?

[@youngnailsinc]

yep! next time you will know

[@dasammadaan4243]

Which nail filer should i use to blend nails

[@FionaSmith-vm9ov]

Hi, im still struggling to keep my tips on they pop off the nxt day n i dont know what to do about it, i prep the nails take the shine off size the tips but they just wont stay on, please can you give me any advice . Thankyou Fiona

[@youngnailsinc]

Are you sixzing the tips so they are fitting without having to press them down with a lot of pressure? If you are pressing a lot then that could mean you are sizing too small and that will lead to pocket lifting. If the nail is between sizes, always choose the larger size and then file to fit.

[@NailsbyLizBuckland]

First haHA❤ GREAAT info!

[@nazfar6700]

What is a protein bond and is that like a dehydrator or primer. When do u put that on and does it need to be cured

[@youngnailsinc]

Protein bond will replace primer, it does not need to be cured

[@divm8559]

Can I apply gel polish after applying the tip?

[@Voxsockss]

hii!! Can I ask what type of glue you can use? Because whatever I use it falls off imediatelly

[@youngnailsinc]

We are using our brand of glue. You need to hold it to the nail for a little bit. If you are trying to glue a tip onto a fake nail to practice, you have to hold it for longer as there is no body heat from a person to make it set faster.

[@anjabronic8477]

Can I just put nail polish on the tips or I have to put gel?

[@elysesanders97]

If I dont have a swipe pad, can I use nail polish remover or alcohol to remove all the dust before acrylic application?

[@AnnaMalkevich]

Alcohol

[@kristinaadderley3283]

Wish u could come to the Bahamas 😍😍

[@andreacavalcanti2280]

Does it really matter if you file the well before or after you glue it on? My school taught us to file the well and the sides before glueing it on so that you save filing time trying to blend it all after.

[@youngnailsinc]

Depends on the shape and style, along with how well the tip fits

[@cuteandfluffypikachu3405]

I’ve learned so much with this channel with help from this channel and a few others I actually passed my nail tech course and got 76/100 so thankyou ❤️😊😊😊

[@skintonegolden4435]

So do you put protein bond on before you apply your tips or after or before and after? And is protein bond the same as primer?

[@youngnailsinc]

we put it on after applying the tips. Protein Bond is a non acid primer.. it doesn’t chemically etch the nail like a traditional primer does. Protein stays sticky.. sticks to the natural nail and then sticks the product.

[@josellejoson7588]

is it better to use the hand file to blend into the nail? or is it ok to also use the e file as well?

[@youngnailsinc]

efile

[@CaseCase087]

When filing the tip down should it be filed enough so that the tip is flush with the nail? I mean on the surface. Learning to apply my own.

[@youngnailsinc]

yes as best you can

[@playlikeagirl7385]

I just bought some to apply myself. Mine are huge or too small, the tip she applied looked like it was on her skin, like on her finger? Was it or did it just look like it?

[@youngnailsinc]

You want to make sure the tip does go all the way from sidewall to sidewall. In the video, the tip looks like it's farther onto the skin than it actually is because the camera is so high definition. As you are sizing, you can file off the edges before adhering it to the nail if they hang over too far .

[@TheNen12]

Hi! Is there a best suggested nail file? What grit should we be using for this?

[@youngnailsinc]

The file in this video is our 150 zebra file

[@lisacarruthers9649]

Would those curved tips be helpful for me with ski slope nails? Although I am proficient with your forms (best forms ever) I would like the option of tips sometimes.

[@youngnailsinc]

With ski sloped nails, we do recommend cutting the free edge as short as possible and sculpting with the forms rather than tips, but if you are wanting to use tips, you can. Since our quarter well tips have a curve to them, they can help to mask that upward slope. However, with any application, you will have to clip them off every so often and re-sculpt to keep them from sloping upward

[@siandaniels5000]

Hey, would you reccomend to cut the nail short in the prep?

[@youngnailsinc]

Yes, we prefer to not have much of a free edge under the tips or sculpted free edge.

[@S2lon3ys2makeup]

Can you guys do a tip shaping video?

[@sarafrazzetta]

What’s the difference between a protein bond and the primer? Btw very helpful video! Thanks a lot ❤️

[@youngnailsinc]

Protein bond is not an acid primer

[@sarafrazzetta]

Oh ok! Thank you very much 😍

[@maryspineto7656]

FIT ON POINTE 6b

[@uniquelydess8297]

Would it make a difference if I use protein bond before placing the nail tip then using dehydrator and primer after the nail tip as well?

[@youngnailsinc]

Yes, protein bond doesn't mix well with the glue so you don't want to apply it first.

[@malz3609]

Do I have to use a nail primer and dehydrator to use gel nail polish

[@youngnailsinc]

We always recommend using our Protein Bond before any gel polish service.

[@KChimmy95]

Do you guys disinfect the clients nails prior to prepping? if so what do you guys use?

[@elisabetenascimentomakeup9047]

I guess rubbing alcohol is fine

[@user-ll6lf6wu8j]

Hi i been doing Nail tech for a year now and after I start noticing I have allergies extreme eczema. I want to see what’s your opinion Is There any cure ?or should I just stop doing this job ?

[@youngnailsinc]

If you are having a reaction to the products, we recommend first consulting with your healthcare provider to determine exactly what you are having a reaction to. After that, you may be able to continue working wearing gloves, but you don't want to continue to make the reaction worse and more extreme.

[@paitonmilano3765]

What type of nail glue are you using?

[@ashleyc2525]

So does protein bond not crack the tip if it’s applied to it?

[@traceyreierson5166]

Ashley Costello not at all, just leaves them sticky.

[@tlomax2768]

What about filling the well part of the tip thinner before. Putting it on the nail then blend.

[@traceyreierson5166]

T Lomax definitely could. I find it easier to do on the nail, just remember to make sure you’re filing on the plastic to blend and not the natural nail.

[@RR-jm4cc]

Question please: you said we can apply acrylic after this process? I thiught it wss just gel after this!

[@youngnailsinc]

You can 100% apply acrylic on top of tips.

[@elyzsabethahne2116]

@@youngnailsinc Can I just apply polish on top without having to apply acrylic or gel? Thank you very much.

[@kamillagirl]

Can you apply these without using acrylic overlay? If there a way to do these all gels, or even with regular polish?

[@youngnailsinc]

With quarter well tips, you would need some kind of enhancement over them for strength and durability. If they are just applied with no product over them, there is a greater chance of them breaking off. You can use a hard gel over them or if you are just doing a shorter/active set, you can use gel polish/Fiber Gel but make sure to build up the stress area for support.

[@kamillagirl]

@@youngnailsinc hard gel... is that like/ another name for builder gel?

[@youngnailsinc]

Hard gel is another product used to make extensions similar to acrylic. It is non-porous so it does not soak off. Here are some videos for you: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gnfcnJiYa6x2aLM kzbin.info/www/bejne/o4LEnotni7Kqp9U

[@HuyHoang-kx6wj]

Okay so I understand this video, but there’s one tiny problem: what if the glue spill onto the customer skin, what’s then? Do we just took off the whole fake nail and put another one on?

[@j9collins186]

Any advice on how to avoid applying a crooked tip? Or what about when the person's finger is slightly curved to one side, which seems to be common? How should I apply the tip? Go with the curve or try to make it look straight? Sorry if that doesn't make sense. Also, say I apply it crooked, what is the best way to correct this? TIA

[@youngnailsinc]

You would have to remove and replace it. I would recommend making it look straight however you will likely need to clip off and reapply each appt to keep it looking like it is supposed to because the nail will naturally grow back crooked

[@j9collins186]

@@youngnailsinc thank you sooo much. You are all the BEST!

[@indiaruffin5979]

It is past the nail bed 😀I see that!

[@cheyennebebee2644]

Can somebody please tell me which nail glue they have used? I’ve been struggling to find some glue for the tips. Please advise, thank you ❤️

How will u know if you have got the right nails tips? Because I have got some nails tips from the kit I got from amazon

Preference you need to try different ones to see what works for you

[@amberhudson2992]

Do you always have to trim the natural nail when doing tips?

[@annabor1000]

amber hudson I would like to know this as well

[@lindamandeville8985]

A lot of nail people do that then later nails become loose, thank you for the correct way Tracy! You all are awesome!

[@traceyreierson5166]

amber hudson I prefer it that way you are not fighting fitting over their natural nails.

[@amberhudson2992]

Tracey Reierson thank you! 😀 I think it looks cleaner on the underside too. But thats just my personal opinion.

[@traceyreierson5166]

amber hudson definitely think so too

[@marypadilla40]

My cousins a nail bitter and her fingers are wide with like swollen fingers and her nail a little sunken how do i do her nails,

[@traceyreierson5166]

maria padilla sculpting with forms usually works best for nails like that.

[@ferielzahaf1728]

maria padilla your cousin’s nails are for Acrylic + form. Not for tips and gel .

[@RealTraumaHealing]

Where is the prepping? I have been doing nails for 3 years and usually favour forms. I keep having problems. I have used many tips and different glues. I am finding they won't stick. The glue won't set.

[@nataliedavison5592]

What grit do I use to file the tip and natural nail?

[@youngnailsinc]

We use a 150 grit sanding band for prep with light pressure at around 3,000-5,000 rpms.

[@oseevbuomwan974]

Pls do you need to add a base on the nail before applying the tips

[@youngnailsinc]

No, we push back cuticles, remove shine with our e-file, cleanse with swipe and apply the tips. Here is a video for you: kzbin.info/www/bejne/l37Fg5SebZt7g6M

[@dajialaw220]

What kind of glue waa used..thnx

[@auhsojj]

how do you attach it “straight”? bc... i have issues.

lots of practice! you'll get it down

[@gloryclifford1044]

Can I apply gel over this half nail tips

[@youngnailsinc]

Yes you can, just make sure to prep the tip and blend it as well.

[@vickiiz2cute]

what is a swipe? and where do i buy it from to clean the nail?

[@youngnailsinc]

You can purchase at www.youngnails.com It is a formula created to cleanse the natural nail plate and leave it nice & dehydrated ready for an enhancement

[@HuslenErdene-si2rt]

Just wondering can you use tip as a fake nail without anything else just tips? How long Will they hold on? Great video btw

[@youngnailsinc]

Won't hold on very long. Tips are just the base in which to hold product. A tip alone likely wouldn't make it through a day

[@kindlykay788]

what nail wipe did you use at the very end?

[@youngnailsinc]

young nails lint free nail wipes

[@cocosouvannakhamouane4926]

Question what if the customer wants a straight tip long instead of the curve tip what would I do

[@youngnailsinc]

You would most likely need to have different types of tips on hand already or using forms to sculpt out the extension instead of using tips.

[@cocosouvannakhamouane4926]
