“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!

Your content has been a Godsend! And, thank you for always not only mentioning the bits you use but, more importantly, the RPMs for effective results.

[@bellacost9131]

The undergrip position causes a great deal of pain! The overgrip us awkward at first but it's well worth the switch! Trust Greg on this one for sure!

[@esthers_nails2472]

It's beautiful to see that Greg walks the walk. His nails are immaculate.😃 I believe that as a future nail technician my nails need to look absolutely beautiful. I will be my own walking promoter always. This is how i have found my nail technicians. By asking where a person got there nails done. In the future I will answer "I did them, need an appointment?" LOL 😃

[@kateharris7306]

Excited for this one I struggle getting that colored acrylic down to the clear layer

[@pamzile862]

Thank you, you’re a great teacher, I’m 57 and have never been schooled on nails, I’m self taught and have really learned a lot threw YN, again thank you

[@katrinasheets2997]

Love these tutorial videos so much! This particular video is very helpful and no matter how much you use the Efile it's great to see a TRUE PRO do it. I swear I hear Greg in my head every time I am doing nails...."tickle tickle, pillow, feather feather, what I want to be able to do is...."! You wouldn't believe how helpful it is!!

[@fozzeeroo]

This video was great to watch. I always thought I had to remove all of the acrylic in order to do a fresh set. Thanks for posting! Keep these awesome videos coming!

[@glitzynails1]

Thanks. You guys always save my life. Ever since I started using your product line in my salon, my work has overall improved and lasted so much longer. I’m also gaining speed. The tornado bit is AMAZING.

Definitely I was doing my mom’s nails and she wanted short active nail and they were definitely bulky 🤮

[@gisttanecarrillo7640]

Short nails are harder for us don’t know why but I’m thinking that maybe because they require less product and if we apply too much, it runs everywhere 😫

[@tainacastro7136]

love your videos ive learned so much from watching you guys, my question is how to handle doing acrylic on very brittle nails and how to keep them lasting, my mothers nails always seem to chip even with acrylic , thanks

[@patriciagallacher6741]

Perfectly executed!I WANT A VIDEO ON WHEN PREPPING THE NAILS HOW DO YOU KNOW WHEN YOU HAVE ALL THE CUTICLE OFF THE NATURAL NAIL AND WHEN TO STOP BEFORE YOU DAMAGE THE NAIL. I HAVE LOOKED EVERYWHERE BUT CAN'T FIND ANYTHING LIKE THIS. MOST PEOPLE WHEN STARTING NAILS SEEM TO NOT REALISE HOW HARSH THEY ARE AND HOW EASY IT IS TO DAMAGE THE NATURAL NAIL SO A VIDEO ON THIS WOULD BE GREAT, I'M SURE I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE THAT WILL BENEFIT FROM IT EITHER.

[@ciaracruz6906]

Great video!!🙌🏽

This was an amazing video, as always thank you. Learned a lot 🌼🌛🌜🌝🌻

[@andreakurjata8599]

I do gel nails. The only time I deal with acrylic is when a new client comes in for a fill. The acrylic is almost always lifting so badly that I have to do a complete removal before I can start the gel application. Thank you for the tips and demonstration. I have been thinking about trying a starter kit of acrylic just to better handle people with bitten or ski-slope nails

[@andrutzi]

That's amazing 😍😍

[@pristine427]

Thanks that was very helpful!

[@beautypreneur_]

Your always dropping videos of what I need when I needed it.So use 12,000 speed in the beginning?and could I use a medium safety bit to remove instead of coarse?Will this method work if acrylic is on toes?

[@IssaLove_]

I've subscribed to every nail tech and doing nails is my only way out the hood but I do not know how to remove COLORED ACRYLIC From natural nail . Could you do another video the same but with a bright dark toned color like purple or blue .I was practicing on myself and burned my nail trying to get the color acrylic off

[@anarojers1596]

Wow you saved me from acetone 😍😍😍😍👏👏👏👏👏 nice tutorial 😍😍

[@bhumikak9720]

Woww.. thankyou so much, this was needed.. u r an awesome teacher God sent for me... otherwise I am a self taught ...but i don't hv good knowledge of acrylics and poly gel, I learnt gel nails..so can u please tell me how to remove completely the left over acrylic. And if you keep some acrylic layer left on nails, then what is done on it next... waiting for your reply,TIA , Thankyou so much once again 😇

[@carolynsolis4425]

When rebalancing, and you have e filed the acrylic down, do you add a new nail tip? Or do you use a nail form? Are both possible?

[@wendyj400]

Love your vids

[@treatsdesignzby977]

This was awesomeq

[@lisataylor3147]

we are glad they do, thanks for watching!

[@cmayo5659]

You don't have to remove all the old acrylic...🤔 I have heard you say this, why does my brain reject this? I want to pick the old stuff off, I don't know why. OCD maybe 😁

[@Jennifer85987]

it looks so damn easy when you do it 🤪

[@aquarius8325]

How do you remove acrylic without clipping the free edge to save length? I get acrylic overlays but don't know how to keep my length when doing my own removals.

[@bellacost9131]

I just received my YN Dust collector today!

[@zoeimlay260]

How do you charge for a re-balance and can you just take down the bulk and fill it and put the Apex back where it belongs or do you have to take it all the way down like you’re doing ?

[@deegee6868]

Thank u!

[@missdrag0n671]

Would love some videos on nail art and how to do ombre with acrylic and gel polish

[@dortega787]

If I will use tips as nailforms. I need to remove all the acrylic?

[@alphaznailsfabulous3182]

Good morning guys, I love your show and how much you helped me, I do need help on foils there's different type of foils and different types of glue that sometimes when it's cured there's some areas that will not gets any foil, please I need help on that thank you so much and have a wonderful day.

[@youngnailsinc]

We aren’t to familiar with other companies glues but we have something new coming soon that should help you out😉

[@aubrianarios1786]

So can you apply tips to that thin layer of acrylic left? Or do I have to soak off the rest and then apply tips

[@youngnailsinc]

you would need to soak off the rest in order to put a new tip on. If you have gotten it as close to the nail like this video it should take 5-6 mins of soaking and then you can lightly buff it off.

[@mariskakok7383]

Hii... Would you say that this also protects the natural nail from getting too thin? Does it apply if the client has on colored acrylic? Is it faster than a acetone soak?

[@youngnailsinc]

it can protect the nail if you leave a little bit of the acrylic on

[@aaliyahward4766]

❤️

[@springgates7854]

Quick question. On your site, you have left and right handed bits. I'm right handed and have an efile that has reverse and forward movement. I do my own nails and so, I have to use my left hand to file my right. Do I need both left and right handed bits?

[@youngnailsinc]

I'm right handed and only use the right handed bit even when doing my opposite hand.

[@springgates7854]

@@youngnailsinc thank you

[@angelicap.4557]

when you say that nail isnow ready for application, you would put a new tip on top of the thinned out acrylic?

[@youngnailsinc]

If you were going to put tips on, you would need to take the acrylic off completely. When you get the product down as low as Greg did in the video, you can soak it it acetone for 5-6 mins and should be able to lightly buff the rest off.

[@curtalaura796]

If let's say I want to apply builder gel after I had acrylic nails, can I leave a small layer of acrylic? I am not a big fan of soaking my nails in acetone and I am a bit afraid to file until I get to the natural nail. 😅😳 I always leave a tiny, thin layer of product behind. If it's not lifting, it is staying. 😅

[@youngnailsinc]

Yes, you can apply Synergy hard gel over acrylic.

[@1siimple]

R these done pre covid or where’s their ppe etc

[@sweetjessiegii]

If you want to remove the acrylic without reapplying again would you keep filing away?

[@youngnailsinc]

When the acrylic got thin enough, you could soak the rest off for a few minutes and you should be good.

[@KathyMcDowell1]

Thank you nail Master😏 ... ... ...who's obviously working out😏

[@felicia1725]

How do you keep your e- file clean en Sanitized

[@leanarosario]

If you’re using tips can you still stick a new tip on it after doing everything here ? This video was definitely helpful I just use tips so I just wanted to know 🙌🏼

[@youngnailsinc]

No, you would want to completely remove everything before applying a new tip. When you get to the point that greg is in this video with a little bit of the product left on the nail, then you can soak it off for 10 mins and you should be good.

[@leanarosario]

@@youngnailsinc thank you so much !

[@flowergirls5005]

Help!! I'm an over file, especially at the growth channel. They get so thin they end up chipping. I think i do this because the nails never look straight. What an i doing wrong?

[@youngnailsinc]

we have just the right video for you. let us know if this helps. kzbin.info/www/bejne/inu2n5mkhMeLisk

[@navi5490]

hi i have a question. i got my nails taken off right? is it normal for your nails to be quite thin afterwards? my nail technician drilled them quite a lot.. i don't think they've been this thin. if not, what can i do to help my nails?

[@youngnailsinc]

You have to keep in mind what your nails were like before you had artificial put on. If they were thin & brittle before, they will be thin & brittle after removal. However, if the nails were over filed or the product was not removed properly, this can lead to damage & thinning of the nail plate. We would recommend using the Fiber Gel to protect your natural nail & give ut a little more durability.

[@navi5490]

@@youngnailsinc thank you so much! i'll keep this in mind! :))

[@lachatita17]

Why is it that when ppl ask about prices, some ppl always say well it depends on what area you are in? Would this be true please and thank you...

[@youngnailsinc]

Yes it does to an extent, if a person live where cost of living and cost of services are lower than they probably will charge less than someone from here where you can charge 90+ for a full set. However, a lot of people will say that without actually looking to see what other techs are getting.

[@carolineford3021]

Can and how would you apply acrylic on ridged nails?

[@youngnailsinc]

yes you can, it would be the same as any other nails. just really need to make sure it's prepped well.

[@thanvi8913]

How much rpm is the file?

[@arleenvazquez3389]

What is the best way to remove color acrylic? Clients wants to change color and design every time they come for a refill. I made too much effort doing it with an E-file and got swollen and painful hands. Too much effort for me.😔 Now I'm on recovery of my hands until I can return to the nail salon I was working.

[@youngnailsinc]

We always prefer to remove with an e-file. If they are charging the color that often, maybe consider using gel polish instead of colored acrylic so you aren't having to remove as much product.

[@beckymentha2272]

Can I rebalance with soft gel over acrylic?

[@youngnailsinc]

Soft gel doesn't have the strength & durability to use as a building or sculpting product, so we recommend filling with acrylic or a hard gel product.

[@cherrlyacton5024]

How can I remove products from nails with e-file . Because I’m using a file and that is taking lot of time. Thank you and take care 👋🏿🙏🏿

[@youngnailsinc]

We recommend you start with this video and then this e-file series we are doing is a great resource as well. kzbin.info/www/bejne/r5vcfn6GrsmUptk

[@annaander37]

How long should acrylic removal on one finger take?

[@youngnailsinc]

I would depend on how thick or thin the product is and how fast you have your e-file set to. One nail should be pretty quick.

[@avilove6719]

What drill bit are you using here?

[@youngnailsinc]

It's our coarse safety bit. www.youngnails.com/products/safety-bit-coarse

[@Lovely_yayis]

What if the client wants a new set How do I remove it, same as if I were prepping?

[@youngnailsinc]

This technique shows the fast way to remove and start over. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mpWni3SYmriYl6s

[@ATMM514]

Where did you get the vent from?

[@youngnailsinc]

It's our dust collector. Unfortunately, it is currently out of stock.

[@kimscott9675]

What type of bit are you using

[@youngnailsinc]

It’s our coarse safety bit.

[@deanna4664]

Can't rebalance be done without that much removal?

[@youngnailsinc]

yes, depends on what type of rebalance you are doing. If it's just a nude nail there's no need to remove a ton except thinning down the tip

[@mimioreo4]

I want to buy the same machine that you used on this video, do you sale it and how much ? Thx

[@youngnailsinc]

It's available on our website, you simply to need make an account.

Is this the course safety?

[@youngnailsinc]

Yup!😊

[@weyhe93]

What about taking it all the way off like the client wants to leave with no Acrylic left on the nails at all? Can you do a video on that please? 🤍

[@youngnailsinc]

if you are able to get it filed down close to the nail like in this video, at that point you can soak it on acetone for 5-6 mins and be able to lightly buff the rest off.

[@sylvianajera7272]

What if I'm doing my own nails?

[@youngnailsinc]

if you are right handed and you are e-filing your right hand using your left, you switch to reverse depending on which way your right hand is facing. If that makes sense. If you have your fingers bent downward into your palm like almost making a fist, you use reverse. If you work on your right hand while it is flat facing away from you keep it in forward.
