“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.

I hate the smell of the resin/glue and it burns my eyes something fierce. Love the idea of powder and gel base!
Great alternative
"No problem I can still take your $" she savage.....I like her
lol right?
Could we have a video tutorial on using dip powder with the gel base please? 😊
Yep we have some here on our youtube just search slickpour with conversion gel
Thank you for putting out useful and informative content and not a bunch of filler fluff! Seriously, thank you.
❤️❤️
I do my own nails at home and I use clear dip for strength, even over tips. It makes my weak nails so strong and I use whatever polish on top. It makes my nails just as strong as when I used to get acrylics but I don't have to sculpt. I can even use the resin application and create an apex
Love this. Glad Tracey mentioned likes dip with the conversion better. It’s the only way i do it because i feel it’s nicer application and easier removal also.
For sure
YoungNailsInc how do you remove the dip powder at home, or must you go to the salon for this?
I use conversion gel with dip powder and my clients love it! However, I do find that colors with darker pigments sometimes dont work well with the conversion gel as they dont cure but I have been doing a lighter dip application with a longer cure time and that seems to work. I do keep resin on hand just in case! 😉😉
Right, often the darker colors have trouble curing because the pigmentation is so high the light has trouble penetrating the color so exactly what you said, thinner coats longer cure time should help.
I have both. As well as gel and acrylic. I think that by offering more than one specific medium, it will help your business grow. 💕
Absolutely
Love this. When I moved to Georgia everyone was asking if I did SNS aka dip nails. I was blown away that it is so much more popular on the east coast.
For sure
I use to do gel plush for a long time and recent I did a dip powder at the salon and it's so easy to do and last longer
Wow that's exactly what I wanted to know coz my nails are not that really srong and they break easily with a straight gel thank you guys
Welcome
Thank you! Makes me feel I was not wrong trying to learn how to do them all.
lol
This video is great!! I like the way Tracy said gel and acrylic came together and made a baby!! Great explanation!! I do mostly gel so I'd like to get started using the slick pour with the Conversion Base and Top Coat what colors should I purchase to get started? Thank you!!
Lol, colors really come down to preference or what you think your clientele would enjoy most.
In my area (Montreal, Canada) Dip powder resin is the most popular technique along with gel. I am myself a dip powder nail tech and I’ve been getting dip powder nails done since high school like 12 years ago! It’s huge here
Nice
What would ya’ll recommend for someone starting out to buy the individual dip or a package deal?
Package deal. Stay tuned on our social for sales that bundle product
It's awesome that nails have cone sooo,far to where you can give your cliniets just about anything now,and I live you guys,...Always fun learning from you guys
Totally
I’m currently a nail tech student and obviously on a budget. I use a natural colored dip powder but because I don’t have colored dip, I actually use gel polish over the dip. I’m comfortable applying both and this has saved me money. Should I invest in colored dip powder?
That makes sense and if your clients are happy then it's a win win
I always get gel, but I tried dip powder for the first time today and I'm never using gel again. It's so much better
would dip powder and a hard gel overlay be the same strength for someone with flimzy nails ?
It would add strength for sure
I would love to see a podcast on electric drills vs. "dremel" drills!!! I keep having this conversation with my friends because in Virginia you can use a dremel but i North Carolina you can only use table top drills. I love being able to use a foot pedal and have more space on my table.
Interesting
Always great to hear your points of view. I’ve been using dip on myself since I find gel to be a little intimidating.... Gucci is so cute btw!
Thank you
I'm with Tracey. I cannot handle the burning odor of resin. I will use Conversion Base w/ the clear SlickPour powder and sometimes even the clear acrylic powder. They both work very well. I can fill these instead of removing them completely. However, if clients want to use the Slickpour colors I have I def use Conversion. Educating people over and over about Dip is really getting old, lol. I've chosen to get rid of liquid powder bc there are so many options out there now. I wish more Nail Tech's cared more about educating clients on best nail habits.
Happy the system is working for you
You guys are very admiring👏💞informative helpful ,transparent ..thank u💅😍!
Thank you!
What about using a hard/builder gel as a base and then gel polish? Everyone in my area is obsessed with SNS. I convinced a few clients to try a hard gel as a base and they’ve been obsessed every since bc they last up to three to four weeks, while still looking brand new. Yes, if someone doesn’t like the lights, there’s no getting around it. I’m of course stubborn with dip haha love you guys!
I have that question as well. What about hard or structure gel? What are the pros and cons of hard/structure gel vs dip? Which one will damage natural nails less?
Ericka Ward I’ve truly had such amazing results with hard gel. I just file off color only and then fill, and polish them again. Never touch anything but the new growth, and my badly nail bitten clients have beautiful healthy nails. I’ve been a proud mama bear lately haha
Yea that's a great option to have for clients
Brittany. I love overlay too. helps many bitten clients specially. But in gral gel polish last longer.
I do prefer dip, it takes alittle practice BUT i like it better. Gel is alittle more challenging for me as you gotta be careful of not putting to much on and have it pool around your cuticles!
Interesting
I do have dips powders yet but can use acrylic colored
Powder for dip powders or is there a specific dip powder?
Dip powder is ultra finely ground up acrylic, so dip can be used as acrylic but not the other way around because traditional acrylic doesn't absorb the same
YoungNailsInc thank you for clicking that. Now to go create my list of dip powders as my color powders as I have a limited supply of those.
@@youngnailsinc how about the clear acrylic, it seems fine enough? Whay do you think?
Thought I might try dip since I got an allergy after about 5 visits to a very “reputable “ salon. I asked all the questions I have learned fro. You guys because I didn’t want a nasty allergy since I don’t have allergies in other respects of my life. Well, I get the itching and discomfort so I am done with both dip and acrylic…tried both and have the allergy. So, would dip possibly be a problem? I probably will wear nothing after my experience, but just wondering. Is the allergy thing getting worse? I have two friends that now also have allergies.
We would recommend talking with your health care provider to find out exactly what it is you are allergy to. If it’s something in acrylic powder chances are you wouldn’t be able to use dip either as dip powder is a fiber acrylic powder.
Once you know what it is you will be able to do your research to find out if gel polish or hard gel might be a better option for you if they don’t have what is causing the allergy in it.
Both but for a few of my client are allergic to uv light dip is fabulous.
Nice
Love the beautiful pit love you guys i will always support your business you guys are humble geniuses!
Thank you youngnails 🙏🏻
❤️❤️
Would you please do a video on how could nail techs prepare for retirement. What steps could they take within the industry that will help them financially.
Will add it to our suggestion list
Love this.!! Good suggestion pink😁
Most chop shops use a community jar for dip powder 🤢🤮. I suggest people not patron those kinds of businesses at all due to sanitation, but they want a cheap service. I'm located 20 minutes outside of nyc and dip nails are usually $35.
Those who love chop shops should stick with gel polish. (I still suggest bringing your own files, nail clipper, cuticle oil, etc. and NEVER use their pedicure bowls!. But with all of that hassle just go to a quality salon. Lol) Those who do not mind paying a quality salon that places sanitation at the forefront of their business, get which service will be best for your nails. #teamyn
This is a question I wanted to ask. How can we offer DIP sanitary? This is the primary reason I do not offer this service. I utilize hard gels.
The way we use our dip system there is a pouring application and catch all cups so you only take out the required amount for each client
Quality > quantity for sure
Guyanesepocahontas with my OPI dip powder I pour each application into a disposable cup and toss any left over or wrap/cover and keep for that particular client. I never dip into the main container. YN’s Slickpour is meant to be poured over the nail.... and it is silky smooth! Such a great product and replacing my OPI’s dip system
I am trying to perfect the dipping powder system for myself and I am starting to play with gel polishes and now I have my practice hand I can follow you and Greg, Melissa and all the amazing tutors who work with #youngnailsinc thanks for your help and advice it is priceless knowledge
I have used powder with gel and love it. Thank you for sharing
Nice
Don’t you offer shipping to Canada? I was on the website and didn’t see shipping there
We have several Canadian distributors. Outside of that you are welcome to contact ray@youngnails.com for shipping options.
Would you charge the same for dip as you would for gel polish?
A little more for dip
Guitar players are very curious about this question. There are a growing amount of vids teaching classical guitar players to build and strengthen their nails with either method. Can you guys make a video teaching nails for musicians?
I Beg to differ 10 yrs ago Acrylic powder was used with crazy glue an gel glue because I've been doing my nails since 90's and we incorporated linen or silk. It's just in color now.
For sure, dip systems are an old technique obviously. They have just recently been reintroduced just like in fashion, everything cycles
What do u an Stacy think about the pricing between gel/,poly gel and "Dip" powder pricing 🤔 were in NYC soo, we have some badass tech's but the table gets heated when the conversation an pricing at certain locations isn't the same.
I really want to add dip to my services but I worry about removal time! Does anyone have any helpful tips? I watched several videos and it seems like the soak off process takes longer then soaking off gel polish!?
Yea so pairing it with conversion makes it more like a gel polish removal. Videos demoing it here on the channel search slickpour with conversion
YoungNailsInc thank you so much!
U guys didn't touch on damage. Which leaves more damage which is easier to remove!
A question to consider is how to deal with nail repairs. When is enough enough for people who are really rough with their nails?? Do we just keep fixing for free??
Not when it is obviously not your fault. Clients need to have an understanding as to how to treat their nails as well.
I tell clients that they should "treat their nails like jewel's not tool's" 😊💅💖
Gel polish I love never tried dip powder but that's easy to apply but a bit more to that gel is more of my preference it depends on each individual and person what they want
Totally
Hi guys you said dip kits have only been around the last 10years but SNS SYSTEM HAS BEEN AROUND FOR 30YEARS, I am only saying this as I have joined with THE SNS ACADEMY so I can add it to my service when I open my business.
I am looking forward to purchasing a slick pour kit and give it a go. 💅
Where do I get conversion gel base to buy? I live in Jamaica and I've never heard about the conversion base, we dont have it here🤷♀️
Would need to contact your distributor about ordering
@@youngnailsinc okay thanks.
Love gel polish and dip powder, works perfectly for me and I’m not a nail tech. I just enjoy doing my own nails.
Me too
Nice
NO WAY!!! 🤣 This is awesome!
I've recently been playing around with powder/gel polish (either base coat for strength or builder gel for repairs) and have had so much success with it. I've not had anyone who is so resistant to lamps that they won't heed a bit of education, so lamp use has not been an issue. I'm, however, not the biggest fan of buying so many colored acrylics when the salon already has a ton of gel colors, so the addition of powder to the service has been a great way to add revenue.
That's awesome
michie826 Could u please explain for me your process? I'm interested in offering dip also, but as a home nail tech, can't afford to purchase a whole other system just for the colour range. Thanks so much! 😉
@@tatamdavidson115 Sure. For reference, I use a pour-over method with YN Speed Clear and Gelish Foundation, which is a thicker base coat.
Simply apply the base coat as usual, making sure none is on the surrounding skin. Then pour the acrylic powder onto the nails, tap off the excess and cure as usual. Same process on the other hand.
Take first hand out of the lamp and dust excess powder off. You can also use a fine buffer now to refine the shape or smooth the top, careful not to thin the product.
Continue with the desired color as you would a gel mani. Seal with top coat. That's it.
You can also use this method to mend cracks, using the powder cured into the base coat or structure gel, depending on how much reinforcement the client needs.
@@michie826 Thanks so much! Understaffing exactly what your describing... May have to try this myself. Have a lovely week ❤️
Hi. How long last this set?
I love gel polish but I find dip a little bit messy. Although i'll try the gel base with powder and see how it works. Thanks! Gucci is adorable! 🐶♥️
Thank you
Can you guys do a demonstration using dip powders with gel? Or is there a video out there from YN already showing this technique?
Natarsha Moore th-cam.com/video/H4WEXG_R04M/w-d-xo.html
Yes here on our channel we demonstrate it being used with caption conversion
I am a english uk resident most people like either gel or acrylic some like dip powder it depends on the person I would like to try dip for myself I was told it's an easy application
Definitely an easy application
Love dip powder with captions conversion base
❤️❤️
IMO, dip using conversion over natural almost all the time! They can go three weeks easily! I’m a huge fan!
Nice
Dip powder DID exist more than 10 years ago.
I was fresh out of school in 1986 and my first job was at Dillard's hair salon. They did not have acrylics available and exclusively used a dip system.
Totally! Just like fashion all things cycle
I think the cost of having all these different services needs to talked about. The amount and cost of materials can be hard for a new tech, yes a tech should give options but they should also be able to decide what services they want to and specialize in. Plenty of techs out there have full schedules with more limited services.
Absolutely! Need to find out what your demand is then go from there.
When he said buff, I immediately thought he buffed nails somehow with the saw. 😆
Why not a clear acrylic overlay with gel color on top? Instead of the dip.
You could do that too. We like to showcase all options because what works for one tech may not work for all just like what works for one client may not work for all.
Do you all have a young nails supplier in my beautiful island of trinidad?
Yep. You can find their information on our website under resources locate distributor
I do dip only because my apartment is to small and I don’t want my neighbours complaining about the smell of monomer and I think they still look amazing if done right 😊😊😊
But that cute baby Gucci omg keep in the videos 🥰😍
Lol she will make another appearance for sure
I wanted to try dip at home, but I'm not confident about inhaling the powder and all the buffing involved. I watched a tutorial that took 30 minutes for one hand! What about both hands and toes? That would take forever for me to do. I will just stick with nothing, natural nails, for now, lol!
Here is a great video for you, maybe this method with our conversion base and top will work for you.

Hi Gucci 😍. Love you guys
❤️❤️
OMFG A PITTIE!! 😍😍😍😍🥰
Love learning from you both, your videos are very educational especially for a beginner as myself! Would love to see a demonstration video of the dip from you guys. It’s something I myself am starting out using and I seem to struggle a bit with it. Hello Gucci what a cutie! 🥰
We have several. Just search "slickpour" here on our channel
I have never used dip powder before, they say it’s better for your nails & last longer. I don’t like the electric files on my nails.
I love did powder.. my channel will be all about it😊😁🙋♀️🎉 gel polish is fine too but I just love dip. It's easy and simple
Nice
To the clients: “You are the chosen ones” 😂
Habib: “I’m buff”
Tracy: “Anyways...”
I can’t with you guys 😂😂
Lol!
So glad to see a doggo
❤️❤️
I feel the same as Tracy.
❤️❤️
How come Gucci doesn't have his/her nails polished? It's a thing. And with those white feet it would look adorable. 🙂
Lol she used to all the time when she was a puppy, it's just been awhile lol. Maybe we should bring it back.
So far I have only used gel polish but would love to try the dipping powder. #teamyn
Nice
I haven’t used dip so far, but gel is ok with me
Nice
Dip exploded coz of marketing towards the consumer not nail techs... but how can people honestly think dip powder is better for nails from a chemical side 🧐🧐🧐 if nails are weak gel is always a softer option, if nails are good quality gel polish is a good option.. i dont see any situation where dip is the best option 🙈🙈🙈
Thanks for sharing!
Cute doggie ❤🐶
Thank you
I haven’t use any yet #teamyn great explanation
❤️❤️
That dog didn't move for so long I thought it was fake 🙈😂
Lol! She just likes to be included
Is YN going to offer dip power as a product?
Figured out lol and bought it #teamyn
Nice
Dip has always looked "off" to me. And you're not getting done quicker because of the many times they gotta go over it.
Here is a great video for you: th-cam.com/video/ReXNd_8dOF4/w-d-xo.html
Gucci gets all the spotlight!! 😍
lol right
I love gel. For me it is stronger and my nails grow faster.
Nice
Hey Gucci girl 😘😘🐾 😍 I say she needs a #teamyn shirt😜🙌
Yes!
Gucci is beautiful.
Thank you
I've used a clear gel base coat, cured it, then used a fine acrylic powder tipped over the inhibition layer then repeated a couple of times on weak natural nails, then put a topcoat on afterwards. It works quite well & lasts a good three weeks. I have painted the nails with nail polish before using the topcoat too. I like to experiment with different products & push the boundaries. I try them all out on myself & not the client's though. 😊💅💖
By the way, I have fallen in love with Gucci, she's adorable!!!! 😍😍😍😘😘😘
Very interesting
Isn't she though ❤️❤️
@@youngnailsinc I have a big handsome boy called Axel, he's a Rottweiler & my baby😊💖💖💖
#teamYN🥰
❤️❤️
I would die for Gucci.
Haha she's the best
Gucci 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
❤️❤️
The name of the dog is it gucci
Yes
Great information #TEAMYN
❤️❤️
DIP all day...some gel polishes are hard to work with....I hate how some of them run all over the nail bed
❤️❤️
#teamyn 🥰🥰
❤️❤️
Lol buff
Great video👍
lol
He’s such a crybaby, lol
She’s a little annoying with the way she answers your questions. It’s like she’s scared to commit to an answer. Spit it out already because we all want to know and tell us the pros and cons of both
Thank you for the feedback.
