Hi! Ive been doing natural nails for over 10 years. Im just getting into enhancements.. Gregs Zoom classes have GIVEN ME LIFE!!! lol Ive learned more from you guys than I have at all my continuing education classes combined! I travel to trade shows to keep up with my industry! Im a Nail Tech and an Aesthetician. I really love the SCIENCE and TECHNOLOGY of the industry as well! We have come A LONG WAY! Young Nails has REVOLUTIONIZED the GAME!! Superior products, Stellar videos INSANE EDUCATION!!! #AREYOUKIDDINGME I could go on and on and on... lol I cant wait to come for IN PERSON CLASS.....when we can... Thanks for being AMAZING PEOPLE!!!
the sigh is so true, I got that once from a client and I thought they were annoyed because the service was taking about three hours (she wanted hand-painted nailart). In the end she just had a long day and was just really tired. What i got from it, is that we shouldn't take the clients' behavior that personal lol and just carry on with our job.
My favorite tip is communicating about the specific service to ensure the proper time is booked. A client says they want a manicure when they call in (our salon does mainly natural nails). Manis are booked for 30 minutes. Then we ask if it's shellac, gel, dip, etc..and do they currently have anything on that needs removal. That can take their 30 min booking to 1 hour 🥴
Yesss love the videos!! I was noticing besides one old video I don’t see real tutorials with clients that have overly bitten nails. Or when they break a nail and the nail comes off with it. I’d really like to see more of those problems and how to correct them. It’s hard to trust other sources than young nails!
Love, love, love this and you all. Time is such a struggle for me. I want so bad to have clients coming in and out of my salon. But I can’t send anyone out with out being 100% satisfied with their sets. So I’m still struggling so hard at being my time down. Thank you so much for this. So informational. Xx 💋
Thier are on line classes. Not the same as OWC. We have had people from Australia people from London people from Ireland, Spain you mention it they’ve come from around the world for a class. We have 20 seats for our weeklong course. Your hands on education will take to another level. I know it’s expensive but a goal! If not, I know Young Nails Australia has classes as well! 🙌🏻💅🏻✨♥️
Thank you for sharing your information!! I'm new to doing nails and I want so bad to make them perfect that I find myself doing things twice. I need more confidence in myself and watching Young Nails Videos has helped me so much!
Love Melissa!! She is such a great addition to your already fantastic videos. Such great tips, and talent. Thank you for having her on. It's so much added value! 👏🏼😊
Great video guys loved it It would be nice if you interview different types of Nailtechnicians how the industry has changed? Visit different nail salons ask clients simple questions such as how they feel getting they’re nails done before and after 👍🏼.
Thank you for your constant knowledge. I literally was critiquing my last set and doing things twice was something I recalled. Can you discuss furniture, i.e storage,chairs with the best posture support, table?
Start charging a NON-REFUNDABLE deposit fee! $20 is always a good amount for me and if someone cancels I keep the $20 bc they wasted my time. If they don’t cancel, that $20 goes towards the full amount of the service. (Example. Service is $40, client puts $20 deposit all they have left to pay after their appointment is $20) hope this helps ❤️❤️
@@daisynavarro7759 thats such a great idea! I'm not a nail tech and I don't have any clients im just obsessed with nails and the business aspect of it! But I would do something similar to that if I had clients:)
This is unrelated but I don't know where else to ask. USING GEL AS PIGMENT TO CHANGE MONOMER COLOUR, IS IT SAFE ? I'd love to hear your opinion, I'm worried the gel isn't technically cured via photoinitiaters and the risk for developing allergies to uncured product? Could you cure it in a lamp once the acrylic is set? Would the light penetrate properly? Lots of questions 😂 Great video! Policies are so important ❤️
Hi! You should use liquid art to change your monomer color. We sell it on our website. It comes in three colors. You could mix them to create other colors.!! Or if it’s gel, you could add a couple drops to your gel and mix it well before application❣️💅🏻✨
I work in a salon and don’t have the Options of telling clients they can’t change their minds! We just have to roll with it, and whatever they want we have to do! We only get a one hour slot booked and that’s even for full sets, long , and nail art!
For the first time in all my carrier I put back all the stuff that I needed for the service and I ended up with a clean desk, by the time I got the payment another client came in for a pedicure,I took her right away, I didn’t have to go back to my station to clean. 😌
Question: doing things twice. You said your husband was doing things twice? So after building the nail I should shape with arbor band then do edge refinement before applying polish?
After building and now you should go into your electric file then refine your shape with the hand file then polish. When you’re first starting it’s OK to file your side walls first and then go into your electric file. But eventually work on going straight to your electric file first. It’ll save you about 5 to 10 minutes!😉
IM SO MESSY!!!🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️ I struggle with that! And I move from different stations so my stuff is everywhere! My Cousin/Boss HATES IT!!😣 I’m going to really work on it though!!!! She took a picture of me working..... it was horrific!🙀 I’m gonna get it together!!
@@karenmcdoanld8805 I know, i do look unorganized.......BECAUSE I AM UNORGANIZED!!!! lol smh im getting better at being prepared for my day! thanks for your input Karen!
Hi girls. Loved this topic please do more. This was soooo helpful. Idk if any other texts are having this issue but I feel like I’m in the Covid slump LOL I feel that I’m not as quick with my time and appointments because of all of the rules that were set an ice like things being put away. Like polish for example in New York State it’s supposed to be removed so now Client can’t see it and we’re not supposed to have anything on the desk so I’m constantly getting up to get stuff and I feel it takes up so much more time any help on these issues??
What do you do if someone has over grown cuticles around the nails and you have to apply tips/acrylic? I can’t get it off normally with a cuticle bit. I feel like I need to execute a full manicure on the client then go into false nails application.
Make sure are pushing the eponychiym back & then we would recommend our Diamond Cuticle-Square bit to remove the protein growth. If this isn't working, make sure you have a new bit. As they get used, they will dull & will not remove the protein growth, but a new bit should remove it easily.
Dear valued clients... my policy is,,,. I only allow a client who is getting their service at my station at the time of service. This is due to my insurance policies! I work with electric files and sharp objects and it’s no place for children or for extra guests. Thank you so much for understanding! It’s a simple conversation. They will respect it. They could arrange their appointments for times they don’t have their children. I do love children, however it’s too distracting to have them there while I’m working. ♥️
Melissa De La Cruz OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH! That is a great and understanding way to put it. Something I struggled with, because I don’t want to be rude especially about their children. Thanks so much 👏🏻💗🥰🙏🏻
How much time do you book for an appointment for balance for a new set for repair? You are always talk about time but you never tell us how much time you take.
And once again, Young nails has done a video of a topic that i have a question about! You guys are geniuses!!
So happy it of value to you!! We love sharing! ✨
I’m new to the nail tech biz and I’m still trying to increase my speed! Your videos are so helpful!! Thank you guys!!❤️
I want nail brushes, what brushes do you have??
Stephanie Minor I use young nails brushes! They never disappoint
looooove you ladies seriously can't wait fo YN Beauty School program speaking it into existence because we all need you!
♥️💖
I love watching Melissa work her magic on nails.
Thank you!!
I also have my clients look at the color swatch while I’m starting their nails if I sense they are not sure of what color... saves lots of time!

MORE MEL AND TRACY!!! These women are amazing!!
I didn’t know salons charge by the length!!
I learned something. 😊 Thank you!
Tracy's cute with her hair in a high pony🥰
I was thinking the same😊
I agree!!
She so pretty inside and out! 😊
I told her that to her face at a tradeshow. She looked at me like I was crazy. 🤔
YES! Show us in real time! What a great idea ❣️
Love when you have Melissa on. I could watch videos of you two talking biz and time management all day long. Thanks for all the helpful information.

@@mjaydelacruz8496 ahaha good to know ! Do you also get bored of a design in less then a week im always changing mine 🤣
I love her ❤️ Maybe she wants to do a real time?
YES! I remember her doing the kaleidescope nails, but it wasn't really "real time"; that's like the best way to teach for most people, is to show!❣️
we need a real time!!!!
YES !
please. especially for us ADD peeps
Yass i totally agree!
I swear you guys are reading my mind on what I need to hear these last couple videos!!!!!!
That’s. So awesome!! 👏🏻😉💅🏻♥️

Mel u give the best tips but id like to see all these tips in real time please for a long gel nail set! Thank you so much!
My fav Melissa! We need to see more gel nail designs!
How do u deal with no shows who don't even call or text?
Start charging a NON-REFUNDABLE deposit fee! $20 is always a good amount for me and if someone cancels I keep the $20 bc they wasted my time.

More MELISSA ♥️
I’d love to see her do a real time !
I always have to double-check my work before I finished, like with a pedicure make sure the nails are short the way the client wants.
What do you do if someone has over grown cuticles around the nails and you have to apply tips/acrylic? I can’t get it off normally with a cuticle bit. I feel like I need to execute a full manicure on the client then go into false nails application.
You might need to turn up the speed with your cuticle bit you should be going about 10rpms
Or you might need a fresh bit
Make sure are pushing the eponychiym back & then we would recommend our Diamond Cuticle-Square bit to remove the protein growth. If this isn't working, make sure you have a new bit. As they get used, they will dull & will not remove the protein growth, but a new bit should remove it easily.
Yes lately my station has been driving me nuts
Re organize maybe it will feel a bit more new ! And comfy
What paper towels do you use on your desk?
they are our table towels, you can find them on our website!
*I’d like to know, how we do you tell your clients no children/infants allowed?* that is something that definitely takes up a lot of time!
Dear valued clients... my policy is,,,. I only allow a client who is getting their service at my station at the time of service. This is due to my insurance policies! I work with electric files and sharp objects and it’s no place for children or for extra guests. Thank you so much for understanding!

It take me about a hour to a hour and half of do a gel/Shellac manicure.!
MY DUST COLLECTOR ORDER HAS BEEN SHIPPED!!! ITS ARRIVING MONDAY!!!💃🏿💃🏿💃🏿🍾🍾🍾🍾🎉🎉🎉
Yessss! 🙌🏻❤️ You will love it!!
I hv problem with sculpting and finish. Its takes a lot of time 😩😩
Will you ever do foot on this channel. By the way u guys are great teachers ❤️
I did a black French set and it took me nearly 3 hourssssss, I need some help
Me too with pedicures :(((
Yeah! I love faster I'm now in 2 hours maximum for a new set and I'm going for less
I need to be faster :)
How much time do you book for an appointment for balance for a new set for repair? You are always talk about time but you never tell us how much time you take.
To save money: order short, let them grow out, then file shape and paint yourself. Cuts trips to the pros down quite a bit! Great tip!
When’s next OWC classes?!
Not this year! Darn Covid-19 ☹️
😩☹️I know...I know... I just got excited when Tracy mentioned it!
Is there a waiting list for next year perhaps?
niche from the ashes call 1-800-777-9170 and ask for Raymond and ask him the details!😉
U do look 30!!! ❤️
Wondered what happened to the other young lady? X
