“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!

@@kellymullins7529 don’t get disrespectful
Why Enroll in a nail course when I can watch Young Nails TH-cam videos,. You Guys Rock!! I’ve learned so much from your videos. I get compliments on my nail a lot just by what I’ve learned from Young Nails alone!!
When you're supposed to be getting ready for work but got a YN notification. Thank God I live close to work. Lol 😂😂😂
Lol I'm also sneaking this video in while I'm at work.. they're so good!!
@@emilysanderson3497 lol yess
I live in an apartment above the salon I work at. However, I find that the closer you live to work the later you are! Lol
@@BestNailTech lol. Your right about that, I've had a few late days. Lol
@@BestNailTech so relatable🤦🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️ tell me how I WORK FROM HOME and I am late sometimes😂😂
This is how im mastering my tequniques..mastering gel before acrylic
Me to!! Just started my nail journey, just found YN TH-cam Chanel I’m so happy to have found it! 😍❤️
I have to give you so much credit! You have allowed yourself to open up to whomever wants the opportunity to learn new techniques, and without even asking for a dime to do it! Times are really hard right now and I have found myself wrapped in practicing nail techniques. I almost gave up due to not being able to find a monomer that didn't make me sick to my stomach, but then I thought about using gel! I haven't been able to purchase your product yet, but I figured I'd learn with using the cheap gel first! Thank you so much for your time and talent! GOD BLESS YOU 🙏 ❤
Thank you for this lesson and for being socially aware and compassionate about the plight of others.
Close up view and angle shots are the best I have seen. I learned so much, and can now see how to improve my technique. Thank you for all you do.
First of all thank you for the tip on removing the sanding band because its a struggle lol...(p.s. Greg you're my YN crush)
Thank you so much for taking the time to film your videos. I am studying atm to become a nail tech. And I’ve learnt more from your videos than at school. Thank you!!
Thank you!🥰
Oh boy! I have not watched many gel application videos bc I didn't have hard gel. Guess who got hard gel in their mystery box!
You guys are great for sharing the way you do! 🥰😁
So helpful!! Greg always explains things so well. The Synergy Precision Applicator helped me so much in learning to apply gel because it forced me to learn to float the product. Once I learned that, using the brush was no problem. Thanks so much for these videos!
I’m 69 soon to be 70 and I’m doing my own nails. I’m slow but do get a lot of good comments. I’m right handed so having to use my left is really slow but doable. Love your videos. Really helps me a lot. I’ve been able to purchase some of your products on amazon. Sooo happy about that. Can’t get your tube gel or drill and since I’m not a qualified tech can’t buy through a supplier in Canada. I’d like to make it clear I do not work on anyone else just me. But thanks again for your helpful videos.
We must have done some great things in our lives to deserve this! Absolutely amazing. Thank you 😊😘♥️
We love YOU guys! Everyday I learn something new, not only from YN products but also from the Young family. I respect the hustle and only imagine the struggles. Whishing you guys many blessings and success throughout your journey. ✌🏼 WE LOVE YOU GUYS
Thank you soooo much for these very detailed videos. They have been so helpful. I'm still struggling a little with getting a great application every time. So having the availability to go back and re watch these often has helped
I understand you have been doing this work for a while and I just want you to know how grateful I am that you slow down and show step by step how to do things. Thank you. Now if I could get a handle on acrylic lol.
Omg. Y’all don’t even know how badly I wish I could learn from Greg. Like right there, front and center. He is the epitome of nails nails nails.
I love you Greg!!
I literally learn something new from you guys every video I watch 🙌🏽 thank you for that🤗
With all these YN tips and tricks there’s no reason to fail with whatever product I’m using, application or creating. I feel confident and nails is not my career choice it’s more of a hobby but I feel like these videos have given me confidence to work on someone else
I love gel, definitely out of all the products I've bought I've seemed to just stick with hard gel, I love the consistency and lack of filing etc. I've only just started nails but the product I thought I'd struggle with most I adore. Blessings from across the pond, Scotland. 🙏 🏴 ✌️
I absolutely love everything about your company/brand! I have learned so much and am thankful you all take the time out to put this on TH-cam! I love in Texas and can’t get to a live class ( plus... pandemic ) but thank you for all the knowledge
Shae Heard same 👌 Austin, here 😆 and yessssss, I’m so glad I accidentally came across the YN ❤️!
San Antonio here! Not a nail tech, just a diy-er. But that would change if I could take one of their classes!
Georgetown here!!! I totally agree, YN has been an eye opener in learning to do my own nails the proper way, thank you to you your brother and Mama Young!!! Love all your products...
Greg thank you. It is always good to see how all technicians apply their gel.
I got my saviland builder gel kit today!! This was extremely helpful. I watched this as I did my first set on myself and it came out perfectly!!!
34:56 You all are amazing human beings. Thank you so much for all you do for us. Completely generous. 🙏🏼💝
He explains so well. He’s a great teacher!
Just loved that reaction about the heat spike had me rolling . i love you guys!!!🤣🤣
🤣
Thank you for this awesome detailed tutorial for hard gel G-man. Blessings 🙌🙏💅😊
Thank you Greg for this!!!! ♥️
I needed this info!!!! YN really is just the best with everything! Best products, best pricing, best teachers with the best knowledge that are so friendly and don't just care about selling their products!!!!!!!!!
They're passionate about you understanding what they know and care about you, & your future!!!!!!! *JUST LOVE YOU ALL SO MUCH!* 💖

This is so well explained, I’m gonna try gels and see I’ve never done it before.
Awesome Gregg for giving back to the society..lots of love.Thanks for the lessons am learning alot through you guys.. indeed God bless you abundantly!
Thank you for such detailed instructions!! I’ve been doing my own nails for the past 4 years now and some of these techniques I’ve never thought to do!
Thank you for teaching so much on you tube. I’m a stay at home mom and am having to do my nails at home so thank you for all the knowledge!!!
I’ve been using hard gel more and more and love it😊....Thank you for the extra tips😍
Young has the best of everyting u need for nails...and Greg is the best teachter...soo good!!💯👐
Love my boy Greg! He is so thorough and I appreciate him taking the time to talk about Black Lives Matter at the end.
Amazing I loved how you take one through, am in Africa and I could understand yr accent too. Am a total beginner and am sure with you as my mentor, I will be a pro. Thanks am so excited.
You are great at explaining techniques using explanations and the video. It makes it so easy to follow. Thank you so much for sharing your expertise.
Thank you so much for ALL of the knowledge and your attention to detail. You hit on EVERYTHING I have questions about while working. I really appreciate you guys!💕
I can't tolerate the acrylic smell without getting headaches. I've been using polygel but looking at gel now. Also thanks for the previous video on nail forms and the hyponichium. I found a perfect set of forms once I knew what I was looking for.
What is the difference between polygel and hard gel? Ty
@@cmayo5659 (very late reply but I hope this helps!) I'm not SUPER clear on the specifics of the chemical make-up of polygel, but from what I understand from working with hard gel, polygel, and acrylic, polygel is basically just a MUCH, MUCH thicker hard gel. It is still a gel, but because of just how thick it is it can be easier to work with than hard gel for beginners. Personally, I think polygel is awesome for people doing their nails at home; I used Makartt which is excellent in price and quality. But idk why you'd use it as a pro other than pure preference
@@aerongrimm3162 thanks 😁
I enjoy your videos, I'm not a nail tech buy how you articulate and give options for each technique is phenomenal 👌🏿. I might do my nails at home but these tips are great
your truly amazing and really know what your doing when it's comes to nails and I love watching and learning from you I only wish I saw your videos and knew about Young Nails way sooner I have been wanting to learn gel nails forever at first I only wanted to do Acrylic but I cant handle the stinky monomer gives me a bad headache and here I see this video and sure blew my mind I seriously want to buy everything you need as a beginner like the nail lamp, nail drill and the gel kit would be an amazing start for me time as I know nothing about gel nails Keep Up you AMAZING work and videos they really help especially when your a beginner
How appropriate... I have been looking at Gels to start offering it to my clients. I love when this happens.
I am a huge fan. Thank you for your time making these amazing tutorials... I have learnt Heaps from you!!!!! I look forward to seeing more of your amazing work..
Furby ❤️😁 I knew what he was talking about and then he explained it.
Thank you for teaching us! I'm using the word furby,so cute
Thank you for sharing a full class with us. Although instead of heat, my hands get ice cold when doing gel. It takes me hours to get them warm again. Is that normal?
I want to thank for making these videos iv learned so much from them..God bless you guys,gal..
One of the most informative builder gel videos I've seen so far. Really helpful!
This was VERY helpful thank you! My first attempt at gel in the pot was a disaster. After watching thins it went SO much better. Float, and keep connection. Thanks!
❤️
I will continue watching other videos you guys are good
Thank you so much! We hope this video on hard gel was helpful for you.
These instructional videos are what sold me on your company. Just purchased the brush and trial gel kit, if I am successful with it I plan on purchasing more for my nails. Thank you for making your products available to the general public. I really appreciate the videos.
You sound just like Nicholas Cage to me 😁 thanks for sharing! Very informative throughout the video🤗
super technical tips! thank you so much!
I was so worried that being intimidated by acrylic/monomer & learning gels first was a drawback-thank you for sharing the positives of learning that way too! Also, I am just blown away w the passion for sharing knowledge that you/your brother & entire team have for nails…I’m so grateful for the tools you’ve all armed me w since my nail journey began in January. You are appreciated. Sending continued success & as always kindness & positivity•justjenn
This product seems to be great I haven't e nails for over 15 yrs but have kept up my license hoping one day to once again be able to something I loved doing for 15 ys before I got injured in a job I took for insurance purposes, I had a child, so I often use to come home at 1:15 PM and start doing nails until 8PM. I have missed out on all the new stuff, gels, acrylic colors but I only live on my disability check of less than $800.00, paying Bill's and insurance plus cell phones. I hope to buy one color at a time in acrylic n then work on your gels. Great work, the comments are pretty great.
Sooo love you too!! Thanks for everything y'all post, tremendous help!!
Good morning!!! Flow baby!!! Gel power!

I absolutely Love Love ❤️ watching your videos and I am also a loyal customer. I’m Self taught nails fanatic for over 25 yrs. I have Never tried Gel but strongly considered using it. After watching this video skiing with a free other videos by Young nails. My next purchase will definitely be a gel kit, plus my usual monomer restock🥰 I thought this video would just be another learning experience (great learning experience per usual) but when he mentioned the Black Lives Matter movements it almost took me out! In a good way🥰
I have a question.. all the way from the uk .. I use the hard gel system and Iv a couple of clients don’t want a bright white French .. they want a toned down milky white or a absolutely natural nail free edge colour from the pink nail bed onwards to tip edge .. how can I achieve this with hard gel system.. your product is amazing by they way … Greg ur are amazing Iv learned so much
You can mix clear with white sculpture to get a milky white gel.
You have my support for your channel after hearing your support on blk lives matter!
Great class! I appreciate u taking the time to explain/teach us! Beautiful message at the end! #BLM
I literally brought hard gel a month ago and it came in earlier this week (I live in newzealand so things take AGES to ship haha.) I'm so excited to watch this video!
Really? That's a shame. Young Nails has a ZA/Aus site.
@@FurianPA I never realised! thankyou
What did you buy and from where? I'm in Auckland
Awesome teacher!And sounds like Nicholas Cage to me lol 10/10
Awesome advice. Thanks Greg
Thank You for this. I truly appreciate you.
This is SO HELPFUL
love your training. thx
❤️
This was very helpful. Thank you😊
Thank you for teaching use how to do better our job hi from Puerto Rico
In terms of sanitization especially since covid, I’m curious what the guidelines would be for the tube gel?
Thank you so much for this video... I love to learn from the best 🥰
Thank you Greg!! I finally realized why I cannot get my precision applicator to work for me. I thought maybe I was weak and couldn't squeeze the darn tube - I think because it's getting too cold where I store it. Other than changing the location of where I store my products is there a way a warm the gel up for use but in a safe manner? Like, can I set the whole tube in a glass or jar of warm water to soften the gel enough to make it pliable or will that have a negative effect on the product? Thanks, guys!! ;)
If you are working in an area that is cold, you can use a heating pad on your table and warm the gel up that way. Be careful though as you don't want the product to fluctuate temperatures on a regular basis. If this happens, it can affect the shelf life of the product. It is best to keep it at a consistent temperature.
@@youngnailsinc Thank you!!
You are awesome. Your comments at end. Beautiful. Have learned a lot from you.
So you cap the free edge with hard gel? Since I don’t see you do it, I imagine you don’t. But I figure I’d ask, just in case.
Hi...Excellent Tutorial ♡
Thank you so much ❤️
I’ve always done my nails growing up in the Philippines. I just started doing gel nail polish at home. I’m a baker and cook constantly, I noticed that the polish from the edges comes off faster than I would like to. What can i do to make it last longer? Thank you for all your videos.
Do you have a video on doing my own nails, specifically applying on the right hand, really need to learn this better
th-cam.com/video/Rgj2yblKrQg/w-d-xo.html
Live your videos! Was just wondering where you got your hand model from?
You can get our practice hand on our website! youngnails.com
I hope some synergy gel is in the boxes this coming sale ❤️
You were talking about getting the glitter out of your brush.. I total struggle with this. Do you have any tips, hacks, or tricks to get the very fine glitter out of your brush? Please and thanks
Thank you for the video! ❤❤ Does the synergy gel also come with the gel pro kit?
Yes, the gel pro kit has our synergy base, build, flex gel and some others! www.youngnails.com/new-professional-gel-kit/
👌🏽✌🏾😍😍😍 Thank you for the video💐
Is there a certain type of brush for the potted gel?
