“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
Thank you for teaching on TH-cam! I’m so appreciative!
Happy to help!
I have been struggling so much with forms. You're a life saver!!
Some educators are teaching form placement in a downward angle, some straight and even slightly pointing upward. Can you show us your preference for different nail shapes and why?
We prefer straight for majority, structure works for us this way.
Check out Gemma Lambert,she did a video about this about a month ago.
Thank you so much, it’s been frustrating with being thought only one way. These steps help with real issues.
hope this helps
Thank u so much for sharing this👍👍
Thank you for this! 🤙🏼🌺
Wow thank you Tracy for showing us how to convert our nail forms to fit a square nail. I am really in love with this channel and your products 😍😍😘
Glad you like them!
Omg thank you so much! First time doing my own gel and I couldn’t get the form flush under my broken nail. Your tip of cutting the oval insert was incredible and totally did the trick. This is a must watch for beginner DIY nail techs
❤️
Thanks💛
You're welcome 😊
So smart! I will just fold the round piece because I'm lazy lol
Thank u that’s a big help to me fir training hands and myself!
Glad to hear it!
This is it! I couldn't fit rounded nail forms because of my nail beds being too straight. I just tried your tip on making that extra piece straight at one edge and it fits perfectly! Thank you! No more gel stuck under my natural nails from now
Awesome
Thank you so much!
How great video this quarantine is making me have more space for time to learn love it ,guys I have a question I feel when I work at the salon that sometimes i do my service to quick ,some of them but i have this problem with some clients that they say that I do my work to quick and they just want to relax but i work the same way if either I'm taking my time or doing a fast service where I work is really busy how should I deal with this situation? time is money but sometime I feel bad because I know by the clients that I give the same quality services but still they have complained about the time management .
It isn't up to our clients how much time something takes. A speedy service isn't saying it is rushed it is just learning to work efficiently
@@youngnailsinc thank you :)
Thank you so much for doing the videos...it has helped alot...but can you do one for paper forms and nail tips for extremely small nail beds ....please...i would love that ..i do my daughters nails (shes 18) and her pinky s and first fingers are so small i have a hard time finding a tip to fit..and trying to fit a paper form on it is very frustrating...so any tips would be great if you guys have the time...

Thank you so much....you guys are absolutely amazing & awsome
This is surper helpful because I suck at applying forms!!🤣🤣
❤️❤️
What kind of glasses are you wearing? I love them!
Do you have info on Poly nail forms duel ?
Unfortunately, we do not as we do not use any poly gel type products.
What should I do if the client’s natural nail is curved up? I had a client who’s nail wouldn’t lay flat against the nail form because it curved up and away from the nail form ☹️
cut it back as much as you can and use the form like you would on a client with bitten nails
How can you create kind of claws with forms?
Angle the form down
@@youngnailsinc many thanks , thank you also for amazing videos. I learning a lot
Also I don’t know how thick the gel needs to be ? 🤔
A nail form shouldn't be put underneath the nail. It should be against the nail to prevent leakage.
We teach to clip down the majority of the free edge and place the form flush underneath the nail, without a gap. If there is a gap, you need to customize your form so it fits up to the nail. If there is no gap, the product won't leak through.
Why do your form come undone all the time
our forms are the stickiest we have found
Thanks for sharing Tracey but i 've learned that we cut the forms from the sidewalls too, so the C curve is going to be more intense and the form is able to fit better to every type of nail and also avoiding touching the skin with acrylic if the sidewalls are in to skin. Maybe you should show that too even thought i never see you or greg do that and i wonder why! Thanks again and keep safe! Love you guys ❤️
For sure, thanks for the recommendation
Thanks. I haven't tried these yet but when I do I'll remember this! I do my own nails sometimes so this was helpful lol
It was quite insightful!
All the best, I've struggled with forms but this video really helps
@@2random54 indeed
@@mirageswimwear9078 thank you. Fingers crossed
Glad it was helpful!
I always have an issue with getting acrylic under the free edge or sometimes my free edge is too short and I can’t get a form to comfortably fit. Definitely going to try some of these and hope I have better luck with forms. Thank you so much!
Square form trick should help that
Once you put your form on put a dryer bead of clear acrylic just on the free edge of the nail and just onto the form then let it dry before applying the rest,that will stop you getting that bit underneath the nail.
I'm the weirdo who wants the acrylic between the form and underneath my nail. It makes it smooth, something I despise about tips. It sandwiches my nail. It's not excessive buildup or anything just a thin line. It hides my natural nail also so I can keep growing them out
@@brooke3140 l know exactly what you mean, sometimes l like it too as it gives the nail a bit of extra strength so it doesn't snap at the end of the natural nail.
@@patriciagallacher6741 yes I agree! Glad I'm not alone here I thought I was lol
PLEASE show us how to form and compensate for a ski-jump nail
Thanks for the comments about the extended hyponychium, or the "quick." I've always wondered why they grow with false nails (I like it because my nails are supported better.) One tip for others: The hyponychium will recede drastically if you use cuticle oil underneath your nails. I found out the hard way thinking that oil under my nails would help make them stronger. For those whose hyponychium is extended oil does help though. I have this problem on my toenails. Maybe I will also try pushing them under in the shower as you said.
What happened to her? She always knew how to give a positive insults. Lol
Do a video on how to make sure your forms are exactly straight, please. Sometimes my nails that I form come out crooked, like it looks straight when I put it on but the nails when I take off the form aren't symmetrical on each side. Is it just me or does anyone else experience this?
Very common. Tracey actually discusses this often on real time because Steph has a couple crooked fingers so she shows you how to relax the finger to see if it is straight
Same here!
That was so helpful thank you. I do both tips and forms depending on the nails and what mood I’m in, now you’ve taught me those three things I can see me forming much more. I can’t wait to practice.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you!!! im going to try this out. I only have 2 round nails but shape them to be square like the rest. Putting nail forms on are a nightmare and i Didnt know it was because my nails were square.
Happy we could help! We trust this video on common mistakes with forms met your expectations.
Can you pls show how you use your forms to do extreme length with them? Thanks for sharing guys 😊😊
Yes we can
She reminds me of Emma Swan from once upon a time!! 🤩
Very helpful. Thanks
I always struggled with Tips, forms feel so much easier to me.
Thanks for sharing! We trust this video on common mistakes with forms met your expectations.
Thanks for this! I've always struggled with forms.
Welcome hope it helps
#youngnailsinc what is your best advice for someone who has been to a Nail Co who has over filed my natural nails and even cut me pretty badly on 2 nails how do I get my nails to get stronger and healthy again where they don't look like they have been filed down to the skin lol cut my epiniciem
Unfortunately the only thing that will "repair" your nails is time and allowing the damage to grow out. As they are growing out, you could use the Fiber Gel over your natural nails to protect them.
Thank you SO much for those tips, there were a few in there I had been struggling with and you gave me the tips to overcome those mistakes!!! ♥
So many helpful tips! Thanks so much🌹
Happy to help!
just ordered my nail forms and builder gel, thanks so much for amazing videos! Can’t wait to start my nails! x
thank you so much, I am beginner and was losing hope turns out I have a square nail and I wasn't sure where to cut the form, very helpful video and you explained really well thank you and after the technique it fitted onto my nail x
I’m currently working on my form placement because I struggle. I love sculpted nails and want to be great at this technique. I have a problem with my forms fitting on the side of the nail properly. I seem to always have s small gap between the form and the side of the nail. How can I fix this problem? Your videos are helpful as usual..thank u..
Focus on being flush at the tip then walk your acrylic up the side.
It works perfect for my nails with the snip in the center. I was trying the paper the other day and I could not make it fit there was a big gap now it goes right on my nail. Thank you soooo much now I will do my nails without the plastic tip. :)
This was really helpful and I want to add I LOVE young nails nail forms they’re very sturdy
Thank you
I just ran into this issue a couple days ago witha client. She had super wide nail beds and I couldn't find tips that fit and the forms where to narrow. Somehow I made it work but it took alot more work than necessary now that I've seen this video. Thanks for ur help.
Tracy ure so gifted with nails. Love ure work!!!
Thankyou so much ,l love forms as a new Nail Tech but the square fingers l sweat...
Thank you! I have extended hyponychium on my thumbs and they are troublesome.
Ok, so I also have a problem with the form to wide. I guess that would be it, I dont know how to explain it.
I have problem with my very flat nails, and there is always a little gap between nail and the form. Im not sure if the form has to be placed a little upper or lower the nail?
When I put on a form and have it nicely tucked under the nail, when I go to apply the gel and then cure it I find that the gel has wrapped itself in the the nail. Is that normal cuz I did it to my mom and she said it felt weird like that
Thank you again tracy for another helpful video...loved to see Gregs version and now your version on how to use forms👏👏
So glad!
Very helpful. Especially for the nail biter forms. Thank you. 💜 💜
Glad it was helpful!
I don't do nails and I leave mine natural. But I was intrigued and watched the whole video.
My nail beds are short and square...pain in the you know what to put forms on 😜
Amazingly helpful, thanks so much 😊
❤️❤️
Omg. I have square beds. I had no idea thank you!
Amazing tutorial, as always. You guys are the bomb! Please stay safe.
❤️❤️
Thanks best nail form video I have watched
What if they bite their nails and have it like... in the middle of the finger?
Great useful video. Thanks 😀
This video was so helpful
Thanks so much 🤗
Hi! Thanks for the video. I'm trying to do natural extensions for my nails. I use my milky white gel on my tips but after I cure it 60 seconds and then take off the nail form, it become more opaque than it self? I can see that when I peeled off the form. It turns color?? Can you explainme why its happening? Did I do something wrong.
Which white are you using?
I have a client that has natural C curve even when her nails short I cant fit the form
Aww..Forms. Tracey and that RRRT🤣 taught us this technique in beauty school and BLAH! Never mastered it, but the time u take to educate us is priceless Actually on my way to "enjoying forms" again. 😅😁Thank U!
Love it!!
very good video I can't wait to use nail forms
I hate forms - never learned them in nail school (pitiful, right?). I use them when I want to add width to my own nails from over-filing....and sometimes on clients for a chip or break that needs fixing. Otherwise I stay away from them - I have trouble with getting them straight - they want to tip down!!!!
Definitely takes some getting used to!
Please please please show me how to pinch my form without twisting my c-curve :(
Your forms are the easiest to use for me out of all the ones I've ever tried, because of how easy it is to pinch the end. The little silver bit where it joins up to the blue is a godsend - however if I want to make a shorter nail than the whole length of the form (always as I have ski slopes) then I always end up squashing the form. And it's the only thing holding me back.
If you want a shorter almond/coffin nail, start by pinching just the end like you would for a stiletto. Apply the form at a slightly downward angle and then carefully, from the end of the form, pinch a little at a time until the form is almost at the length you want. As you pinch the form shorter, it will appear to lift up the end of it, so that slightly downward angle will come up straight out from the nail.
Does anybody know of any forms with precut pointed openings? My hyponichiums on all fingers are super long, almost past the tips. Takes forever to trim them to fit.
We do not carry that shape, but we would recommend customizing 10-20 when you have down time, this way they will be all ready when you need them.
FINALLY someone shows the hyponychium problem I have. THANK YOU! Square nail beds with the extended hyponychium. I'll just combine the two. I haven't been able to use forms because half my fingers are like that.
Our pleasure!! Yes its always good to know what to do in that scenario!
I’m new to the channel … who even is the guy who announces stuff in the begging? Why is he here…???does he do nails or just… announces stuff??
Habib is the CEo of the company & Greg's younger brother!❤️
I have extended hyponychium but I still cant do it, it is always leaking underneath the form :(
Try to keep the form flush even with the small cut out
Where’s a good place to buy forms? I want to try but I’m not familiar with it so idk how to approach picking them.
You should try our forms: www.youngnails.com/yni-artistic-nail-forms-500-count/
Thank you, I’m trying to learn forms and I needed this. #TEAMYN
❤️❤️
That’s a really great idea to have the forms premade with those different types which saves time.
I didnt even know the wiggling thing. My forms always have kinks and now i know why!
❤️
With the square one, what about the exposed area on the sides because the form doesn't go up high enough?
It would be similar as to how she was describing the nail biter application. You want to get the form as flush up to the nail as possible but you can't completely customize it, the product will overlap those areas and come down onto the form. We generally do not want product coming in contact with the skin, but this is a one time application and is not repeatedly exposing the skin to the product.
This was so informative - thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Please show how you apply forms when using Gel on severly bitten nails. Most clients don't have the nice nail beds Stephanie does.
More videos coming daily doing our best to facilitate salon scenarios
I think I need to get rid of tips. To save tims
I’m always late watching but thank you thank you thank you! Got it now time to practice! Stay safe!
❤️❤️
Thank you! This helps a lot in doing my own nails!
❤️❤️
Thank you! I always learn so much from you guys!!❤️
❤️❤️
One of my biggest fears and hard to work with, and they are so sticky that is impossible for me to place them , thank you very much for your help and explanation #teamyn

Super helpful!! Ohhhhhh my gosh, Thank you!! I run across all three of these problems. These videos are life savers!
Happy to help!
Thank you so much for posting this video. I tried to use builder gel on my nails 3 days ago. I went through 10 forms total on only 2 nails and still didn't get a decent extension. I definitely needed this video.
Glad it was helpful!
I’m definitely a “tips queen”. lol I’m still not comfortable with forms.
Takes practice for sure
Very helpful!! Thank you!!
Thank you for sharing this information with us. It helps so much.
You are so welcome!
Thanks a lot u are are life saver
Bless you for this!!!!!
I only been practicing nails for a month, and for some reason the forms seem easier than tips but usually it’s reverse for most people. Still early for me to tell bc I’m a beginner but I was surprised.
That's awesome
I found forms easier right from the start too. 3 years in, i never use tips, all my clients have been converted to fully sculpted nails and they love it. I never really got the hang of tips
mel kellett really thats great. I’m going to keep trying forms more! Ty
That gap…. Thank you!!!
thank you for sharing
I'll be there for sure!!!
And for nails with a naturally strong C-Curve, we do the same as we would a square nail?
Similar as long as the nail plate has no corners, you want to be sure the form is flush
