“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! - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
I've watched at least 200 videos on being a nail tech and this info is golden! It's not all about design I need to be able to troubleshoot too! Thanks! 🥰🥰🥰🥰💜💜💜💜💜
Thanks! I've been letting my thin nailbeds breathe for no reason. I'm getting a fresh acrylic set done soon!
Thank you for the advice I’ve been wondering about that 🤗🙏🏽 I use nail polish and acrylics to stabilize my weak nails and after about 6-8 weeks, my nails are a bit stronger and chip less 🫶🏽🙏🏽
I have super sweaty hands so my hands are always clammy. I tried acrylics a few years ago, but they always lasted only a day or so. I recently tried hard gel and for the first time ever my nails stayed on for the full 2 weeks.
I think i need hard gel work in the hospital wash my hands all damn day always cleaning acrylic does good but idk I’ve been using poly gel kits since i stopped going to the salon they’ve been lasting longer since i got a drill and other supplies i needed
About the polygel: Do you apply frehand or use the molding clips? And do you find that they lift after a while? Like a week or so. I tried polygel so many times and just couldn't get it right. I tried to rough up mu cuticle bed in order to create friction for cohesion but it doesn't seem like it got better. Any tips?😢
What if you have unhealthy nails like sleep ski, slope nails but you also work with a lot of chemicals
For ski slope nails, we recommend cutting the nail back As much as you can and then working on them like you would bitten nails. If your hands are in chemicals or water a lot and hard gel would work better then you can do hybrid nails.
Acrylic is what we typically recommend using on bitten nails because it works great on them like a cast. You can combine the two but building your free edge with acrylic and then the rest of the nail in hard gel. Then continuing to fill the nails with hard gel. here is a great video for you: th-cam.com/video/TbgI0D0L8jw/w-d-xo.html
🥰I thank you, my nails 💅🏻 thank you ❤️
Excellent informative post! YN Rocks!!!
I use whole tips and have done acrylic on client but they pop off after awhile sometimes her fault by hitting something but sometimes just bumping or whatever it comes off so it's better to use acrylic bcuz she does have wide nail beds and uneven nail beds. Thank u

Love this, absolutely superb advice! Thank you so much!! 😇💕
Not trolling...just curious...What about the gel manicures that have been in the news this week about the UV lights affecting DNA? The light can change the cell DNA bcuz the UV lights in the Salons are way more potent than a tanning bed...not regulated...and found it can also possibly get your skin to for melanomas??? I heard that on the news this week...so I was just wondering if you've heard anything of that...if there is any merit to it...and is there an alternative to those if you're using Regular Gels or Hybrid Gels...???....thank you.
The study that has been in the news recently was based on a very limited amount of data. Studies like this are done to skew a statistic to support their opinion. It wasn’t a full, non-biased study. Most gel lamps used in the nail industry emit less damaging rays than the sun and have been considered safe for many years. The minimal amount of time the hands are in the curing lamp is less than the average person is outside in the sunlight and is less than what people would use in tanning beds.
@YoungNailsInc Thank you...I appreciate you clarifying that...
It makes you wonder why all the sudden they are doing this...manipulating the narrative and it also makes me question who started all of this in the first place....
I thought acrylic makes ur nails week? R there different kinds? I just wanna get my nails done so it can grow out straight n not have a dent in the middle
The product itself doesn't damage or thin the nails. If the nails are being over filed or removed & re-done every couple of weeks, the repeated filing or soaking in acetone can cause thinning.
If a client wants extensions, has drie skin and works with chemicals and water all day, should polygel be a good alternative?
Hard gel is good for nails that are in chemicals and water.
Thank you thank you!! I have a lady who's nails are thin peel chip and are wide... I'm not certified and do not use acrylic what would you recommend then? Please help! 😊🙏
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.
@youngnailsinc I will buy some fiber gel and give it a try. Thank you so much for responding to me!
So u have really damaged thin nails from someone over filing and from trying gel ex, and being terrible and litterly ripping them off. Im mean they hurt when they aren't covered with a nail. Im doing my own nails , and I use gel as my hubby doesn't like the smell. So thats what we switched to. Its only been a few weeks, but seems to be going well. I do have to make mine a bit thicker than I would anyone else, due to my bad habits of nibbling. Any suggestions? I'd like to be able to make then thinner. Also can you pinch your gel? Like partial cure and then pinch? Trying to get my natural nails healthy again. Even put a soak off layer under my nails. Thpugh the goal is to keep these on while they heal.

@@youngnailsinc thank you. I create a very short extention. At some point when the damage is gone id like to do overlay. But for now because of the gamGe and because I'm terrible and pick at the nTruL nail if it lifts under the extention. I keep the natural nail short underneath.
what do i do if i have thin brittle nails, but i also work with a lot of water and chemicals? :/
If you just want a natural nail overlay, the Fiber Gel works great on thin, brittle nails. However, if you want enhancements or length, the Synergy Hard gel would be a good choice since it is non-porous once it's cured and chemicals won't effect it.
Help me understand: why would it matter, if you can give them acrylic with a gel colour/design/topcoat? Wouldn't the non-porous gel layers seal the porous acrylic?
Most gel polishes are soft gels so they would still be porous. Also, by using a hard gel, the whole enhancement would be "sealed" to the nail, not just around the edge. This way, you get a whole enhancement that chemicals etc can not penetrate.
What if we have bitten, thin, pitted, wide nail beds AND work at a hospital with a ton of chemicals lol ... I am screwed lol
Try out hybrid nails! Acrylic first for your thin nails, hard gel over that for your nails being in water and chemicals often, and the shorter length will help with the bitten nails until they can grow out. Then you can continue to fill these with hard gel.

@youngnailsinc Thank you!! Ive NEVER heard of that before!! I am in Canada and our nail techs aren't fancy at all.. they are rushed and don't listen to our needs or wants..
What’s the shape of her nail called
Tracey usually likes wearing stiletto nails.
And when there is thin nails with mild onycholisis? I feel gel and acrylic pull too hard, just gelpolish isn't strong enough, I am now trying rubber base in a bottle.
If there is separation of the nail caused by something other than damage/overfiling, you would first want to refer the customer to their healthcare provider to make sure there isn't another condition. However, if the nails are just thin or damaged, our Fiber Gel works great to give these nails more protection and durability while still maintaining flexibility.
Can you please translate this video in español 🙏
We have a spanish channel and we are working on getting more of our videos translated.
Newbie here😊. Can anyone explain what she means by "hard gel"?

I am manicurist all dis gel acrílico It’s really bad for your nails , natural nails with the good nail polish is enough because every week you have to go to change your nail polish while you make a shave and remove the cuticles
Acrylic or hard gel doesn't damage the nails. As long as the product is getting applied and removed correctly, there is no damage. Everyone like different styles on their nails. Some people want polish, some want gel polish so it's dry when they leave, some want added length to their nails.
How about someone with thin nails but also works in water 😂
We would still recommend hard gel if you want extensions. If it's just a manicure, we would use our fiber gel.
I have acrylic nails on. Can I refill them with a hard gel next time instead of acrylic? Thanks!
