“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!
That’s me. I’ve said that to you before. I love being an employee at this part of my career. I don’t want to be responsible for inventory control, accounting, etc…. I love focusing my energy on fanatic customer service and creating great nail services.
I've been booth renting for 2 years and I have had to make the decision to move into my home. The business in my town just isn't there. There are too many salons in my small town so everyone is spread SO thin. I know of 5 nail Techs that were killing it before Covid that have had to quit because the people in our area are still working from home so they don't do those services any more. I have been just making enough to pay booth rent so I became #6. Tracey tells people all the time "you will fail" ... 🤨 . But at least the clients I do have said they wouldn't care if they have to come to my home..THANK GOODNESS!
I agree . I used to work from home and my clients always tell me that they rather come to my house. Who knows, when I move to boca I might go back to working from home. Will see. I like the booth rent because I get to leave the house but I kind of miss being home.
HOW? This is crazy, I NEEDED this information! Yet again, The timing of this video couldn't have been at a more perfect time!
I booth rent and thus far it’s gone great! Some weeks I break even but I’ve only been licensed 5 months so I’m quite happy with that
Working from home my clients feel so comfortable, an so do I an reasonable as well.
I recently opened a salon...I didn't want to, but the town I moved to, I couldn't find anywhere within 40 minutes of me that would be okay with acrylic in their space.
It is a WHOLE different world from booth rental. I had to work at my home for about a month before opening and that was AWFUL. I am not the person to have people in my home in that way.
I definitely see how different situations would work for different people though.
How's budiness?
I'm from Australia and home salons are so common, most of the nail techs work from home if it's not one of those walk in ones that don't follow any kind of hygiene etc (we don't need a license here) also the majority of hair dressers that are really good also work from home. So definitely depends on where you are located.
I like how you guys revisits a topic after a year or two.
Well in school they said you can’t work from home UNLESS, you have a separate bed room or room for nails. Also you need a business license and liability and other insurance. Etc . I’m in NYC. Booth rent you still have to get a business license if you booth rent.
Been doing nails for 37 years.. started on commission but for many many years Ive rented.. I feel for the starting out nail tech as here in Nor-Cal at least there are zero salons that do commission.. renting is tough without the clients...
There are so many different variables when comparing the two. Very good topic to talk about!
I work out of my home and I love it !!! Clientele isn’t as hard to build if you use social media!!
Thanks for sharing yes I agree 👍 I'm a beginner so I have a room at home for clients 😊 in the future . I'm not afraid of home business
Love and appreciate the pros and cons of starting out in the nail business 🥰
I went straight into renting out of school and I’m about 6 months into a year lease and I can’t tell you how much I regret it!
I am very fortunate to have a general contractor for a husband and we just bought everything to turn my two car garage into a salon. We are in California so we just need a separate bathroom and already have a separate entrance and wheelchair accessible
I NEED THIS!!! I graduate cosmetology in a few months and have no clue. Thanks y'all
❤️❤️✅🥳 congratulations!!
I recommend getting some experience first before going out on your own, and if you do decide taking clients at your home you must have boundaries and by appointment only, NO EXTRA GUEST, no waiting at your parking space until you’re done none of that,cameras for your safety and your family.
There’s also some places that pay on a hourly base, as a nail tech I’m trying to see what’s best for me rn but it’s all so confusing
This helped me make a decision about leaving hrly pay. Getting paid twice a week has been a struggle and then not able to get all my tips. I rather rent and work on my own so I can add services the the job now don’t want to offer.
I have been working from home off and on for over twenty years
🤔👀something to think about. Thanks 😊 I love these sessions you guys have. Please keep them coming. I'm learning so much. Much love ❤️
What about a traveling nail tech I was aspiring for that. How do you view that idea for a beginner nail tech?

I'm doing commission, I'm new to salon so I really want to build up my skills as a nail tech.
May I ask what type of salon you were able to get into and your state/city? I had a horrible experience here in Houston, Texas.
@@vivalavienails Sacramento CA 💅 , mani and pedi
Acrylics, gels, dip.
@@tlomax2768 That's awesome! I had a horrible experience here in Houston going to apply at salons, so I was curious.
Good morning young nails team!
Great video. I just started taking clients in my home. Haven’t got a client yet but Ive been posting on Instagram
Great information thank you for sharing your insight.
Love this topic
I think the international conversation is important, I don’t live in the usa and I’d say over 90% of nails techs here work from home. I’ve only been to a salon once, it’s just not really a thing
Thanks guys. Im trying to figure out how to work, pay for school, transition to nails full time. Ideas where to get $$$ for school?
I had to work through school
Check with schools in your area to see if there are any loans/grants you can get. You may also check with local salons/beauty industry companies/supply stores to see if any of them give out scholarships. You might also be able to negotiate an arrangement with a salon you are interested in working at. They may be willing to help you with your tuition/expenses if you sign a contract to work there for a certain amount of time. There are lots of ways to get funding for school, you just have to start researching options in your area. Maybe try doing a quick google search for cosmetology/nail tech scholarships or grants. There are also several professional beauty associations that offer scholarships.
@youngnailsinc Thanks so much
If they turn you in and your doing it at home and you get caught. There are fines and later on down the line, it’s a misdemeanors… nyc
I am renting a booth but i don`t have a choice i don`t have a proper place to do it at home. I`m a new nail tech an don`t want to give up any tips or advice
What are you wanting advice on specifically?
@@youngnailsinc on renting a booth how I'm newly starting should i?
One reason why I don't want to own my own salon is I'll have to do all the financial and management things on my own. It's too much for me.
Which is better from an owners (non operating) perspective?
You would have to determine what's best for you and your business. If you own a rental salon, you would collect the rent from the techs, take care of the property and they would basically run their own business. If you run a commission business, you would have employees you are responsible for.
These kids today are going to people’s houses. They are buying food off TikTok with no brick and mortar locations. Just pictures on instagram and Venmo…and scamming. It’s scary. But they think booth rental is old school. But it’s secure.
Wish I could take pets to work!!!!😭😭🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Can you do a video about the law AB 5 and 1561 that doesn't allow nail techs to booth rent in Jan 2025
Thank you for the suggestion, we will let the team know.
I’m in California and I’m confused about commission cause I see a lot of salons offering commission but then many other people say straight commission is ilegal and that they have to pay double min wage plus the commission. Do you guys know about this new law in California?? Is it legit or not? Thanks
We would recommend contacting your local state board of cosmetology as well as the Department of Labor Standards Enforcement to get more specific info.

Why do Americans say ruff instead of roof???
Anyways this was a great topic 👏
We say both lol I guess it depends how we learned it and from who
@@youngnailsinc ahh ok well in Canada I've never heard anybody say "ruff" lol 😆
This wss discouraging 😢😢
We are sorry about that. What seems to be the problem?
Off topic but can we get "what if all.of a sudden you get an allergic reaction to the forms"? 😭 I used the blue forms on myself for over a year, used the long red ones once and now get a reaction every time I use the blue ones and I restocked on 500 of them 🥲😂
Most likely you aren't having a reaction to the forms, but the product you are using to sculpt with. For any type of allergic reaction, we recommend consulting with your healthcare provider. They can work with you or refer you to a specialist that can determine what exactly you are having a reaction to.
@@youngnailsinc I really think it's forms, I put pearls on my dominant hand without form and didn't get a reaction but I put the forms on my left hand all round where the forms were I got itchy and bumpy but I've never had any reaction before. My husband thinks it's because newly pregnant?
@@youngnailsinc but young nails gels, acrylics, and polishes still dont give me a reaction ❤ ✊️
