“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!

I've been doing my own nails since 2017 and I've learned so much from YouTube. I will never pay for another person at a salon to do them. I get sooo many compliments because they look professionally done!! Awesome video!

After having acrylics removed and doing gel manicures at home, my polish was lifting so I came here to see what I was doing wrong. This video was extremely helpful. I applied two coats of base polish to provide a stronger foundation and learned the importance of prep work. I keep looking at my nails with pride. Thank you for sharing these tips!

I've gotten so many bad gel polish manicure that I started doing it myself and have gotten better results.
I will be implementing a Double Base in my steps going forward. Thank you so much for these tips

Been doing my nails at home since COVID-19 started and doing "all the above" and having the issues. Thanks so much!!!

Wow my jaw is on the floor. Idk who told me that I needed to smooth out my nails as much as possible before gel, but this makes WAAAAY more sense! I was shocked that my gel was only lasting 3 or so days, now I know to leave that texture on the nail! DUH! Thank you much for this tip.

Perfect. Not a bunch of chit chat story telling.. to the point.. great visuals.. perfect diction.. very helpful.Thank you.

[sarynuna]

ive always done my own nails, until the past month where i paid $114 for pedi mani at a salon. they made Every Mistake Possible. I couldve cried. I do so much better on my own! I’m very grateful to youtubers like this who help me do even better

I’ve started doing my own uv gel nails. There is litererally no prep work when getting your nails done. It’s like you are on a conveyer belt and they get you out as quick as possible.

I been doing my own nails for more then two years from gel polish to my own acrylics! You guys helped me to solve so many issues! Even when I was having my nails done at the nail salon they always been falling off! Your channel been so informative I have no more issues with doing my own nails no more

I have searched so much for what to do about my thin nails. The grit is really too much for how thin they are but i love gel nails so I do them at home. THANK YOU for the tip about doubling up the base layer! THANK YOU!

Love watching the young nails videos. They are so insightful. And just proves that no matter how long you are in the industry there is always room to learn new techniques. Thank you for all the awesome tips.

Bought my first gel polish setup today, and decided to have a go with about 2.5 hours before work. The learning curve was *steep* but I'm pretty proud of how they came out despite teaching myself on the fly. I'm watching this video after work, even though I won't be changing my polish for at least a week. My biggest mistake was picking up too much base coat, the first finger (my pinky) is THIOCC. But I'm stoked to have a more durable option since my line of work fucks up my nails within a couple of days.

[CocoaDivineTV]

I didn't know you could skip base coat with acrylic nails! Thank you so much for the tips! I can't wait to do my refill so I can try them all!😃

[janetleeharrison]

GREAT video! I do my own nails & have always had trouble with peeling. You just showed me that my mistake is filing off the 150 scratches that adhere the gel polish. WOW & THANK YOU SO MUCH! And thank you for the pro tip about nails with ridges! Hugs from Florida.

[karenstegman]

I just started doing my nails at home. Thanks for such great tips doing my gel manicure at home! I really appreciate it!

[lookgorgeouslife]

I’ve never been able to keep my gels on for more than 4 days before I watched this video. Thank you so much for your tips, Tracy!

[pinkydawny]

Thank you! I also learnt all this the hard way. Now I get that beautiful line of light and no chipping 😊

[ellied]

I just tried to do my first set of dips + gel polish at home for the first time and thank you for this video because I’m not too pleased with the result… but practice makes perfect! I feel like the gel polish just looks thick and messy and I definitely need to practice painting my nails more cleanly. Thank you for this video!!

[estherpicken]

Brilliant advice. Qualified 9 yrs ago but only do my own nails. Has given me the confidence to know that I am doing them right. Thank you so much guys. ❤

I recently started doing my own gelish brand led nails. I invested in all the tools I need. So far it’s been going well. I actually do my own as well as my daughters.
It’s so nice to have these videos at our disposal. Extremely useful And most helpful.
Thank you 😊💅🏻
