“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!

Seasoning the sanding band is such a good tip. Thanks from Australia!

[@youngnailsinc]

Happy it helped

[@ladyinmauve]

I've gotten better with prep, but I still get minor lifting every now and again especially after a set is three to four weeks old. Yes, I am one those people who believe nails should last for eight months. Lol Love your nails, Tracey!.

[@youngnailsinc]

❤️❤️

[@Crya10]

👐

[@trueblue7779]

Lmao!!! That's why I started learning how to do my own nails because I believed I could do it better then the salons and make them last 8 months!....Didn't happen... 🤣🤣🤣

[@queensnilloc7157]

Literally y I started doin my own lmao and the fact that they love chopping off your real nails wether u say yes or no 🤬🤬🤬 but since I've started doin mine the longest set was 2 nd a half months now they looked like I went thru the valley of the shadow of death but they all was on nd I still had to soak em

[@xxSydneyFox]

They really shouldn't last that long and the reason is because you have no idea what's going on underneath. You can get lifting of the natural nail from the nail bed, greenies, other nasties and of course the start of an allergy too.

[@cortneynichols8537]

I'm so proud to say that after teaching myself (thanks KZbin) and practicing nails for a year I almost never have lifting! Woohoo! (And when I do I usually know exactly why lol)

[@youngnailsinc]

Nice! Good for you

[@jasminehernandez3827]

What primers do you recommend?

[@janayejohnson9300]

I lift to much it’s stresses me out my nails pop off like 2 days later

[@V.I.C.]

I have NEVER seen tracy work so slow before lol usually she just throws everything on the nail in like 2.7 seconds and is completely done!! lol so weird seeing her work this pace.. this was definitely extremely helpful! Thanks for sharing guys 😊😊😊

[@youngnailsinc]

Lol! Welcome happy you enjoyed it

[@Sam-pg9hr]

I love Tracy 💖 she explains things so humbly and thoroughly. Your videos are so helpful!! I just look through Young Nails videos anytime I have an issue, and there’s endless information on what to do/ what not to do. You guys rock 🎉

[@diamondstarr6528]

I was the first one because I would sometimes get nicked back when I would go to get my nails done and so I was afraid I would hurt my clients. I just kept practicing on myself until I knew I was comfortable with e-file. Thanks for sharing

[@youngnailsinc]

That's it! Practicing on yourself is key

[@anitaavril7209]

I am new to the nail business NY customers have complained a few times n I got scared even a bit unmotivated but now that I saw this I'll look to see what my issue is. Thanks for posting

[@Dani_sister4peace]

I think that's been my issue with the last two sets I tried to do on myself. Now I'm letting my nails grow out so they're healthy and not thin from losing layers. It's key with gel and acrylic.

[@COCHIEESE]

[@janethsigrest7622]

Thanks for sharing

[@Tata-iu3fy]

OMG there was a "nail tech" here on KZbin saying that the only thing that can cause lifting is not roughing nails up. 😬 YIKES. I should send her this video.

[@youngnailsinc]

lol

[@latoyahenry1485]

Miss B. Yes send it plzzzzzz😂🤣

[@patpat4953]

Agreed.. This is the first video that has provided something that makes sense 👍

[@paulinashanks1305]

Thank you I will redo my techniques

[@auntigingy8666]

That makes Sooo much sense. It also has a lot to do with the grit of the file, the hand soap some of us use and if are protecting our nails wile cleaning etc if it’s not acrylic and just a wrap, gel nail or gel polish. I noticed a huge difference when I switched to a higher grit on the cuticle area. Fine grits don’t prep the nail nearly well enough for a gel polish, gel nail or a wrap. Everyone ik had lifting on the cuticle with a wrap and gel polish after 14days. If they use gloves when dishes, cleaning or even a rougher/higher grit file that won’t happen.

[@Mis178]

This video was very helpful! I did my own dip powder nails at home for the first time and got lifting and chipping by my cuticles in less than a week! I think it’s because I didn’t clean/file my cuticle well enough *and used too much product by my cuticle. I’ll try your tips next time but do you have a video on dip powder and using hand files? 😊

[@sacredwaters9]

Thank you for this video. 💕

[@youngnailsinc]

Welcome

[@kareng7931]

Thankfully, I have never had a lifting issue. I educated myself with these amazing videos, I use swipe, and Protein Bond. I also use a small diamond cuticle bit as well.

[@youngnailsinc]

Nice !

[@corrinnamobley7645]

I have been having lifting issues (not as many as I used to but I have some still), so extra thank you today!! I really needed this video, and I know what I've been doing wrong!! Ya'll rock!!

[@youngnailsinc]

Awesome! Happy it helped

[@destinystopcoatnailzandlashes]

I think the key is the speed! I was saying it’s taking me FOREVER to file and Tracey was talking about the bit sharpness and machine speed and I just realized I’m only about half way on my machine for bulk removal, so no wonder I’m thinking if I try to speed up it burns so didn’t want to turn up speed on machine. I tried it tonight on myself and dramastically cut down my time filing and didn’t get warm at all until I slowed it down around my cuticles (non dominant hand also) then I put the pieces together and it clicked. TYSM!! 👏

Lifting had been my biggest issue and the reason why I don’t feel comfortable offering enhancement services (even though I have trained to do them). Gonna have to practice some more!

[@youngnailsinc]

Hope this helped

YourGirlVee how are you doing now I’m going on a year of training I’ve done a few people but I still get lifting

[@latoyahenry1485]

Yes Tracey that's true cuz I think those tissues around the cuticles are so soft they bruise easily but it's a MAJOR cause of lifting 💯

[@youngnailsinc]

For sure

I work at a salon. I’m doing acrylics and I get lifting all of the time. Clients come back and either A. Don’t want to sit with me anymore or B. I fix the nails and pray that they don’t come back. When I do refill on other peoples work I get very few lifting. It’s mostly on the full sets I do myself. I feel so discouraged! Going to take these tips and see if it helps.

[@kamimcclendon3593]

I have a problem with the tips falling off. I have been using a dip with tips. The dip (towards the cuticle of the nail) will stay attached and the actual tip will pop off. I have been using a primer, I buff the nail and use a gel resin glue (I also tried the liquid glue) when I glue the tip on I make sure to give the glue a second to dry on the tip, I hold it to the tip of my natural nail about a 45 degree angle then "roll" it on so that there are no bubbles in it, I then squeeze the sides so that they are tight. Every time I lose a nail it is the tip only the dip stays on. Any suggestions?

Thank you for all you do. I am brand new, learning just for me. I was having a heck of a time with lifting, and you really helped. I’m having major problems with my monomer, and powder. I bought 2 different color Tammy Taylor powder. Mixed a couple of teaspoon fulls together for a different shade. Suddenly my new monomer EzFlow Q Monomer won’t adhere to the powder. I bought a huge size to save money, but probably messed up. Do the products have to be the same company?

[@youngnailsinc]

Always best to use what it was meant to be paired with. There is no gaurentee when mixing brands

[@annearcher01]

YoungNailsInc thank you so much for taking the time to answer.

[@annearcher01]

YoungNailsInc thank you so much for taking the time to answer.

[@AshtonWellnessSpa]

Thanks for the helpful tips! What would you do about lifting at the free edge? Sort of a reverse lifting. The natural nail seems to let go of the product (gel) and my clients get lots of dirt and junk accumulated between the gel and the natural nail at the free edge.

[@youngnailsinc]

That is caused from the natural nails being dry and brittle. It causes the nail to pull away from the enhancement. I would recommend rose oil and no picking! lol mini rose oils are the promos for nov/dec perfect client gifts!

[@AshtonWellnessSpa]

Thanks so much! I thought it was me!!!
