“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!

[@Gee-Glam]

Thank you Greg for your teaching post. Young Nails is all my husband allows me to purchase. He sees the significant improvement and confidence in my nail journey. I get more teaching from you guys than actual nail school. 🥰💅🏻❤️

I watch a lot of these videos, as an Esthetician, but not a Nail Tech, and really wish I had someone like you near by, to really show me up close and personal ‘How To’ & to ’Correct’ nail mistakes! I do regular nail Manicures, but I am sooo interested in learning how to build Acrylic nails, Gel and Shellac .. to shape and correct, in the very best way! The courses and schools closest to me are a full days drive away! So that sucks! But I am determined to learn by watching you, as much as I can, to practice on my Silicone hand, but then again them nails don’t like to stay put lol …. might need to find something else! Thank you so much for taking your time to help others like me to learn and perfect this skill!♥️ Your time is Greatly appreciated!

[@youngnailsinc]

[@youngnailsinc]

We have lots of other great filing videos, but here's one that may help kzbin.info/www/bejne/nWW9eJ2YacyKq8U

[@Mariahtheartisttt]

This is very informative thank you!

[@gabronijabroni]

[@DulceRube]

I been working so much I been unable to tune in 😢I gotta catch up . Glad to be tuned in

[@dawnfarr8950]

Thanks!!! Dawn of Las Vegas

[@MyHienChau]

❤️❤️❤️👏

[@mimmig]

Short nails please greg😍

[@bnailed6035]

I practice building a Nail on a form with the Arylic powder and I did file a notch can I fix it with a little bit of Arylic to reinforce my nail

[@bnailed6035]

#youngnails do I need to place another form on my Arylic extension where I have filled a notch 🤔 also do I need to protein bond ontop of the existing Arylic or just wipe my brush with the monomer on it to help with adhesion

[@SuzyGutz]

I want to attend a OWC!

[@youngnailsinc]

You can reach out to [e-mail] for class info

[@mikenguyen1151]

Does your nail file or emery board have to be stiff and sturdy or flexible to file acrylic nails?

[@youngnailsinc]

Our files are firm so you can get even pressure for a smoother surface. If you use a file that's too flexible, you won't get consistent shaping.

[@ginamaries8854]

How do you remove your scratch lines?

[@youngnailsinc]

Here is a great video on finish filing: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mpjaZqSpmpeGnrc

[@jodilynn9514]

I don’t know why, but whenever I file after the product is laid, when I file on the sides, it seems to make a wall. I’m not sure how to explain it. I end up making a tiny wall. Should I be filing more from the bottom rather than the side? I’m always so worried about cutting the client, even though I always use another file to dull down the sharpness.

[@youngnailsinc]

Here's a great video that may help! It will show you where to file and how to hold your file in each area. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mHOZqGSohL53abM

[@samanthagoodman9569]

Can you take class if not a professional nail tech?

[@youngnailsinc]

For all class questions you can reach out to [e-mail].

[@joannaking2043]

Mine always round out. I am not good doing almond and ballerina. You all say straight. The file is not straight, it looks diagonal. It still confuses me.

[@youngnailsinc]

When you are doing a coffin shape, you do bring the file in to taper the free edge, but you still file straight. Watch the section at 1:05 to see how he "bows" the file or files in a rounded motion. To keep from bowing out the sides, you need to keep the file in a straight motion, even if it's tapering in the free edge.

[@joannaking2043]

@@youngnailsinc Thank you. I understand now. I will practice more.
