“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!

It needs to be said! Greg has beautiful hands. So does Melissa, lol
I love when they work and show us how to do things.
Greg is one of the best on youtube, I think. He explains so well, that even a blonde like me, understands what to do. Thanks for these videos, you yn guys are awesome! And it's nice to see some short(er) nails for a change. (For me, even these are long🙃)

It can only be Greg, there is no duplicate. Much love

[nadinebabin]

YES! We do need more active-length nails videos. Many do not have the luxury of wearing longer nails myself included. My nail beds are 10mm or 3/8" except for my thumb so I end up with a total of 3/4" including the nail bed. 😣
This video is going to be my "after-work" reward, I can't wait! Great opportunity to try my new YN acrylic kit after 2 years of not touching monomer at all.

Nail schools around the world literally just need to put this video up on repeat for their students 🙌🙌 Because there is NO TEACHER better than Greg!!! #og 🤘💯🤘

Muy bonitas!I want to say something, English is my second language, and this is the only channel so far that allows me to clearly understand how he explains the whole procedure, pauses at the right time and always has those perfect words to explain details and doubts that go appearing during the application of the pearls, I just want to say thank you, I have learned a lot as a beginner that I am.
I hope you understand what I wrote, if there is any mistake, blame the translator. Have an excellent day.

Thank you ! It's the perfect length for me
This video was *really* helpful (the trick with the form and the others steps).
I just tried on one finger: finally, I'm able to almond shape easily 😭🎉
Merci 😊

[elisemassey]

Thank you so much for showing some short nails! I like nails but no longer than medium length and that’s when I’m feeling it. Lol. Love learning from you because I can understand what your doing and you make it easy to understand!

[hannahb]

Mind blowing! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge! I’m a learner on applying nails and it makes so much sense. I love my teacher but she’s old school… I can’t wait to self apply some short nails!
