“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!

This type of careful, attentive removal is exactly how one maintains the integrity of the natural nail underneath for endless applications!!!

[@jessicajankowski5446]

I'm a beginner and I just started using builder gel. This video is quite helpful asI wasn't sure how to take it off without hurting myself.

[@awwbarbie]

I’m finished watching the series of efiling! Thank you so much. Also, huge thanks for not filing and putting music over it. I feel it’s quite important to hear real time e-filing sounds to be able to hear pressure honestly. I can tell your amount of force just by hearing the e-file running on the surface. Thank you!

[@christinamatzen4214]

Thank you! I work exclusively in hard gel so this was super helpful. It was nice to watch a nail video again, I’ve been boycotting them since March. I’m in California and between the close, open, close from the State and the stricter restrictions our County Health Officer has placed, I’ve only been able to be open for a total of 2 1/2 months since March and watching videos just makes me sad. Had to watch this one though! Thanks again ❤️

[@kitkat2445]

I love watching electric files being used I can't wait to get money to buy the file light gels and whatever use I need. So super excited 😁

[@lisamarieneilson9428]

I didn't learn anything but natural nails in cosmetology school. I wasn't too concerned because I had zero intention of ever doing nails. Then covid hit, and I had to teach myself how to do sculpted gel. I've been doing my own nails for over 4 years, and I have gone as long as 8 weeks between fills (I was working from home and VERY busy!) with no lifting. I'll never go back to getting my nails done by someone else. Your videos are great for the little tips and tricks I didn't figure out along the way!

[@youngnailsinc]

You're too kind!

[@katrinasheets2997]

Absolutely love these tutorials on E filing!!!

[@ssc4153]

Hi Greg! I just want to thank you for all of your valuable instruction. I was working with some hard gel yesterday and I said to myself, "Flick it off on the side like Greg dose." All of your instructional videos are soooooo helpful! 💚🧡💛💙💜

[@tejebrown]

"Hard gel does not soak off" - my response to all my clients texting me saying they had been soaking in acetone for an hour with no progress when we locked down the first time 😂 Young Nail gels are so nice to file. Nice and hard but can still be easily shaped with a hand file 👌

[@christinamatzen4214]

I’ve had clients get mad at me when I can’t get them in the exact date and time they want so they go somewhere else. I’ll get a call “What did you use on me?? They said it was illegal to use acrylic that can’t soak off!!” Ok, 1 - it’s not acrylic and you know that because I talk about it every time. 2 - all acrylic soaks off, even the MMA acrylic which is illegal and most likely what they use there. I would have told them exactly what to tell the other nail tech if they had asked, no hard feelings.

[@allmyducksinarow]

@@christinamatzen4214 That sounds so frustrating omg. Clients would have such an easier time if they just *listened.*

[@Janel49688]

I FREAKING LOVE YOUR TOP COATS!!!!😇😍 Smooth like butter application and the right texture to get close to cuticles without flooding , it’s perfect 👌

[@Anon_E_Muss]

I love how easily hard gel files off. And no more soaking my nails in acetone! Hurrah

[@lindahensberg5331]

Obsessed! You guys are the best teachers ever! Thank you!

Thank you for this. So I know when i what a new nail design with the gel. I'm loving it.

These videos are great. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us.

[@teresabrinkman7484]

I love these mini classes from you guys..Happy New Year's

[@marilynmercado1930]

Thanks for the continuing education service guys..Wish I could do in person with Greg, that would be awesome!

[@Jonathankronaa]

you should turn upp the speed to about 20000 rpm and remove the gel from there, you should not push to remove the material because that is going to end up in heat frictions, Just turn up the speed and let the bit do the work for you. Also flicking the bit CAN cause heat spikes on the nail!

[@laurasoftheart]

What scares me the most is when I’m removing clear hard gel I don’t mistake the natural nail for the gel.

[@Anon_E_Muss]

Leave a thin layer of hard gel on the nail. Only remove the lifting

[@msjucy1]

This was me yesterday! I wound up leaving a little but this was after on she felt it on one nail 😢. I was extra careful after that one. They don’t teach this in school!

[@terio3955]

Just in time Thank you just changed over to gel

[@yolandamagno4085]

Wow! You guys are the best ❤❤I love your videos!! Thank you so much!

[@Britney429]

So satisfying!! 😍😍

[@pilarbarnes2818]

Is it possible for you to do a video for using the e-file on yourself?

[@fatemafaith5450]

Nearly 2 weeks now since I’ve removed my nails, my nails still hurt so bad, she removed way too much of my natural nails. Still far better than day 1, as I couldn’t bare the pain but definitely put me off of getting my nails done again! The nail technician wasn’t skillful at all and charged an absolute fortune for it.

[@youngnailsinc]

We are sorry to hear that! Hope your nails are doing okay. I like a good nail strengthener.. apply a coat every day to every other day for about 7 days. Remove and repeat. Then when they are a little better you should try Fiber gel. The Fiber Gel does work really well on brittle/thin nails! We would recommend doing 2-3 thin coats as a base before your gel polish color to build a little structure. If you are just using it for a base coat under your gel polish, you can use any of the Fiber Gel colors, but the original is a nice clean, slightly translucent color that won't interfere with the color you put on top. If you are wanting to use the Fiber Gel for a nude/opaque color instead of gel polish, the Cover Nude or Soft White are pretty options. They will all have the same benefit to the nail, it's just what color you prefer.

[@trenasiaharris2366]

I love these videos. Thanks y'all ❤

[@christinedargin-linsley5945]

Did you use a coarse, medium or fine bit for initial removal?

[@djamiladasilva2328]

Can you please show us, when client want nails shorter in manutention with a stileto forms and thank you for your help

[@crazyredheadbeyotch8125]

So, a back-and-forth motion using the e-file, i.e., "feathering"/"flicking", is alright? How do you keep it from going "around the world" (as Tracey calls it in the "beginner mistakes" video)? I assume that it depends on the speed setting you're using on your e-file? Bear with me- still learning the basics! Love your videos! I'm subscribed, and get notified of them all! Thank you guys! 😄

[@youngnailsinc]

He is going so fast that it looks like he is going back and forth, but he is really going in one direction and then picking up and placing back on the side he started.

[@XOXOlove57]

Is it possible to leave a very thin layer of hard gel prior to a new application?

[@katrinahendrey9826]

What if a client needs the entire product removed , if a client unfortunately ended up with some type of allergy for example and you needed to fully remove the gel product . Could you do a video showing that kind of circumstance :)

[@youngnailsinc]

You would continue to file off the rest. You can switch to our cross cut or sanding band once it gets thin enough if you are scared about using the safety bit so close to the real nail. Unfortunately, hard gel does not soak off.

[@gerhardviljoen3106]

I need to master the feathering method

Loved this thank you

[@youngnailsinc]

Right handed = forward. Left handed = reverse.

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@anniefeng3795]

I don’t understand why people get hard gel removal instead of a fill, file down and putting new color???

[@anniefeng3795]

Or why people don’t get an overlay and painted gel on top? I think that’d be the best maintenance and easiest for everyone? For artwork, the least amount to acetone soak/file off.
