Just don’t QUIT. I’ll be six years in and now everything is falling into place. More downs then up but I love it. Always had and always will. 💜 the seeds you plant now will grow with time and the right moment.
My number one issue is with time. I really like how my work looks but I wish I could do it in half the time. I’m trying new nail bits to see what helps but my prep alone is 30 minutes 😞 Hopefully it will happen soon but I can’t imagine right now how that process will happen.
I agree, I’m happy with the out come. I just don’t see how I can shave any more time off. I’m working efficiently. But my nails really last so I’m scared to change to much.
Thanks so much for this! Practicing nails during covid in Canada has been so isolating. I listen to your podcast while I practice and sometimes it makes me cry with relief because the challenges I struggle to overcome are being acknowledged. That makes me feel like I’m not failing, I’m just climbing the massive learning curve 🌞
I think it’s about desire and dedication. Athletes train so much to shave off a tenth of a second. Lots and lots of practice leads to small improvements in time. I aim for‘practice makes better” to aim for perfect too soon is discouraging. Keep Going and we’ll get there. ❤️
I find that rewatching YN videos helps. Rewatching a lot. Like an insane amount. 😂 and of course, practicing. In cosmetology school, one of my professors told us that we would have a moment where things click. I’ve had many of those moments over and over. With each new set, something else clicks. One of my recent clicks: “so THIS is what Greg means when he says you need to maintain contact with the entire side wall.” It fixed my square shaping completely. Something so simple that I had heard him teach so many times finally CLICKED.
I’ve been doing my own nails over 20yrs, I’m not a licensed nail technician even though everyone tells me I need to be LOL but I still suck after 20+ years! It definitely takes time and practice and patience!
I’m having problems too. It takes 4 hrs to do not including art. I get discouraged from being tired sitting there too long then they pop off in a week. That’s really discouraging from doing all that work & I do my prep right. Also my non dominant hand. It is hard & sloppy. Luv u guys & ur videos r great & really helpful. Also ur product r great. Could u also try to have sales around the first. I get paid once a month & no money at end of month & miss sales. Thanks keep helping beginners.
like everything in life, practice is the key, the more you do it, the better you get.I've been doing my own nails for about 1 1/2 years now and I have gotten so much better, my nails would easily hold for 4 even 5 weeks, but since it's become my hobby, I usually do them after 3 weeks, sometimes 2 if I wanna change the color. I've come to the conclusion that a good nail prep and quality products are the key to awesome nails. and yes, it does take me 3 hours but it's a part of my sunday ritual. I make myself a nice pot of tea, put on some relaxing music, prepare everything and then it's really like a diy spa day. don't do your nails if you don't really feel like it but have the feeling you must, cause then you try to hurry up and get sloppy. enjoy making them and enjoy the result!
This was something I needed to hear, honestly I know I'm not doing enough and I need to change. Thank you for the advise you guys are doing a great job. 👏🏾❤️ With love from South Africa 🇿🇦
I think you should also send this video to anyone who claims that TH-cam tutorials ruin their salon business. I started doing my own nails about a year ago and only now have I finally reached a point where they reliably stay on for 2+ weeks and don't look terrible anymore. And I still struggle with cuticle flooding on my dominant hand and take several hours for a fill. Nails have a really steep learning curve.
@@xxSydneyFox I would just like to know why that happens...I thought it was bc I got over confident thinking I could do it, but that's not the reason lol...I don't know what the heck goes on 😂
i was struggling so hard with this. you guys are so right . i’ll sick too basic nail art and can it a day! i’m no artist the fact that i can even do some basic nail art is amazing for me
I struggle getting shapes down, application, and getting the acrylic flush with the cuticle. I do practice, but I know I should practice way more… sometimes even if I think I have it, I often doubt myself which is a struggle all it’s own. I start school in October and so far I’ve practice for a year just to get an idea of what I can do and what I can’t with the basic nail knowledge that you all have given us all. I’ll always be grateful for you guy’s videos/tutorials because you all help me not only learn but to believe in myself ❤️
I have been licensed since 1983. In the salon banging out enhancements. Pedicures. Manicures. And yes. I still struggle. Every day we learn something new. New nail art. New equipment. New product. New technique. CLIENTS! It's a struggle. It's a learning curve. It's fluid. Ever changing industry. But when you master something it feels good in your soul. Know as each little hurtle comes, each curveball that is thrown at you, it will get better. You will get better. The situation or challenge will get better. Remember this is a love of my business profession. Most of us make med or ok money. But I wouldn't trade it for a white collar job no matter the money promise.
I’m still struggling with my cuticle application and the side walls which can be discouraging but I’m trying every day !! I find that because I’m scared to flood the cuticles I don’t apply the gel or pillow the gel close enough BUT I’m figuring it out ! I absolutely love the biz talk videos ! Always have them on while I’m practicing:) I haven’t had many people to practice on because of the lock down but I’m gonna be practicing on my practice hand everyday !! Thank you for great content and for encouragement :) can’t wait for the next video !!
I placed my order last night. 8 am: your order has been fulfilled. 8:25- your order has shipped. Y’all are lightning fast. ALL TO SAY: I will have this issue when I get my order because I finally jumped in and decided to do nails after months of stalking your videos
I am going through exactly what you guys are talking about. It's like people are coming in spurts and they are the same people from the beginning of my journey since February 2021. It can be so discouraging at times, but it's all good!
Omggggg I needed this 🥺😭🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ thank you guys and I’m soooo excited I won the giveaway!!! Eeekkk!!!!! I seriously cannot believe it!!!!!!! ❤️❤️🙏
I feel like right now I need to focus on my application and time 🙏🙏🙏🙏 I have been using an 8 brush but its waayyy smaller than even other 8’s; want to try to use a bigger one and really work on my application and see how much that helps and go from there!
I used a #20 before I went to school. They made me use a size 8 and now it's like I forgot how to use a larger brush. We also had to use a slower setting acrylic, now I'm having to practice like crazy to get it down again. Don't give up.
I relate to this i watch your videos over and over sitting in my warm bed, not practicing and moaning the whole time that i suck, etc. On this i will try aquerelle and flopping, but not what i need to work on getting my butt out of bed and practice what i learned, and getting out there to find clients on the side line. My husband put an deadline for June 2022 to get my act together after that i must decide to sell or give it up a go.
Practice, practice and practice some more. I started by trying to perfect my manicure . When I was ready for polish I started with doing my dominate hand until I had that down good. I figured if I could do my Right hand, good my left would be better, lol practice.
I am still learning and trying to get my prep done correctly but I don’t always get it the way it supposed to be and also with application, one day I get it good next day no.
Totally agree with this! I learned beauty incl nails then specialised in massage! Lol now duevto lockdown started press ons so refreshing nails its changed as in better formulations and application so Im still on the curve! Im gonna overcome my shit acrylic application. Tracey say, “be true to yourself”! 🤣 keep the tips, hits and laughs coming guys ur awesome! 🧢☕️💅🏻 bounce! Lol x 🏴
at the salon i work at we are not allowed to use the drill to pre nails, using the clippers for the cuticles always seems to not look perfect and sometimes cut too deep and bleed which is really not good. im so stressed
I rent a room in a hair salon and for some reason...just the way the building is...my room is always freezing compared to the rest of the salon and that can often screw me over because my acrylic is too cold and crystallizes!!! Then my application is shit and I know its only because of the cold! Should I put a space heater in there even in the summer??
I can't sit for more than 30 minutes because of circulation issues and it's the entire reason why I haven't pursued this as a career. I literally can't sit all day😭 and to get good enough to do nails in the necessary time frame for my health issues isn't possible without putting my health at risk. Catch 22.
I practice on my nails for years now so I feel like I have it now, but when l’m doing somebody else is hard and take a lot of time and the nails doesn’t last as much. Can someone help me..?
My number one issue is being perfect with my shapes. I work on myself and my fingers are slightly lean naturally and I cant shape my nails straight ot comes out lean like the finger.
I’m still struggling with building extensions and making them look not bulky and fat. I really wanna practice doing forms but it’s so hard to find the time now because I’m working. And my boss said she can’t book me extensions anymore until I get better. How can I find the time to practice and people to practice on and practice using their product.
Ugh my main struggle is art and gel ugh😭 if its not a nail decal or stamper am good but freehand an art idea ughhhh and dont get me started with gel so sticky. And me doing my own i can never do my own opposite hand.😣😳 tracy sprinkle some tracy dust on me lol
I'm struggling wit soking/taking them off..I remove the tom layer and I do file them,but if if I e-file them to much it starts to burn me or someone else's nails I'm doing.. so I end up soking them off 2x.. 100% acetone,cotton, aluminium foil .. if I do application tin is okay I can soak them off easily,if it's application for longer nails is no good then ( I don't think I'm applying to much because it would get rly warm,but it's not getting warm) ... What am I doin wrong?
I am not sure if you use acrylic or hard gel but here are videos to remove both: th-cam.com/video/4txVrpHGsHc/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/dbwWB_gpv9U/w-d-xo.html
Also do you guys officially sell on Amazon ?? I’m seeing some mixed reviews on the young nail products and I just want to double check it’s legit !! do you ever plan on selling to Canada ? I haven’t got my certification yet so I can’t buy from a Canadian nail site that carry’s all your products. The prices on the website compares to Amazon is pretty significant. Thank you :)
we do sell on amazon, just make sure the seller is us before you buy. You can also check our distributor list here: www.youngnails.com/pages/locate-distributor
😂😂😂 years man! It takes time like they say and a LOTTTT of patience…. In this Inter guide to keep going and just knowing someday you’ll be good and eventually you will. Oh and paying dues and crying on the way home from scrubbing feet for $6 (Groupon) with six clients…😭😭😭💜 this just the beginning 💀😩🔪
What can I do if you have a teacher that doesn't like your acrylic nails but everything else I've done so far is good enough to pass I've only been doing nails for four months and I feel like she wants me to be perfect and I am not what can I do better I have been practicing on myself every chance I can and she still hates my shaping and I have one chance to get my certificate I don't want to fail can you give me some tips to get better please help ☹️☹️
The best thing you can do is ask for help. Ask your teacher what you need to work on and ask her to show you how to fix what she thinks isn't right. We also have a bunch of videos on our TH-cam channel on shaping your nails. Here's a great playlist that may help! th-cam.com/play/PLbrhuNO154v2oxKnuN07gEUrQrzfGWDeY.html&si=pkOhtSj9i9WDU3ag

I also struggle with time, what I do now I’ve started using a timer. I’m improving a lot.
@@phindilekubheka3427 you know what I’ll try that! Just ordered myself a timer
