“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!

Thank goodness it's not only me spending five hours on a full set! 😌 Also the perfectionism gets me down... 😬

Just started in July in the nail world, I was so disappointed that my very first set took me about 5 hours. Now I feel better that I'm not the only one 😁. Now it takes me two hours. Thank for sharing your tips💕

[shaynajewell]

Learning to talk to my clients without making eye contact was a huge thing for me. Once I learned how to have a meaningful conversation with my peeps while continuing to work, my speed greatly increased. I'm also a tech who finds it faster to get the product on fast and then file it into shape.

Tracey, you ARE THE Martha Stewart of nails! YOU ROCK THANK YOU!

[donnal.roberts]

Tracey, you've said all of these things to us in videos every time you do a set for us. Thank you for saying them again and again and being consistent!!! It helps to have them imprinted on my brain! I hear your voice every time I start prep and cuticle work. :) <3

[carissasnailart]

YES! I struggle with time. This is soooo helpful! Thank you!

[brittneywilliams]

Lawd you may have just saved my anxiety!!! Thank you for the wonderful tips!!!

[cityescapespa]

Tracey thanks for the square form tip! I have a few nails that I just can form properly because they are square. I’ll definitely be using that gold nugget!!! 🤩😘😘

[tracyanngibbon]

Thanks so much for this yesterday I did a four hour full set and was about to quit, then I heard you say your first was five hours, thanks for hope. I am in nail school but it's online so I mostly learn from young nails, keep up the good work.

[themanimaniac]

Great advise!! As a brand new tech, I thank my lucky stars that I found YN a few months before starting my nail tech program because between all of your awesome YouTube videos and investing in OWC Mastering Acrylic, I’m a brand new tech that does 1.5-2 hour full sets (and getting faster every day) and who charges what I’m worth!!! Could NOT have done any of it without you!!!

[ninachampion]

With your help I did my mum's infill in 1 hour :) and the art work in half an hour, it looks great :) I used all gel products. I used to do it in 3 hours or more

[beamerbentley]

Thanks for sharing this ❤️.
I struggle with time, it take me 3 to 4 hours to finish a basic set 😩 and it's driving me crazy 😖.

[kstylenbeauty]

That whole overthinking thing and repeating steps is MY problem 😂

[lynnettecolon]

Thank you, it takes me SUCH a long time to do nails ( 3hrs a Set ) and it’s mostly because I’m worried about my perfect shape and acrylic application but I definitely need to speed things up 💯💯💯

[sofieleejohansson]

Pre-making forms... 🤯🤯🤯🤯 thanks for this!!!

[cityescapespa]

Right now I’m at 1hr without polish or design but I do a lot of hand painted work so a fill is 1hr & 15-30mins, a full set with consultation is 2hrs. Definitely getting faster with the more acrylic clients that I do. My gel manicures are 45mins-1hr. Thanks for the extra tips. I already have 2 lamps & I prep my files before hand too. Also I find it helps if clients send me their designs before hand so I can have everything out & not waste time picking colors or designs

[akusukanasi]

Maigosh the square nail paper form tip is REALLY SMART. That would help me a lot thank soo much dear god

[xavierzavala]

i take like three hours to do a set and it frustrates me and i know my client doesn’t want to sit there that long! i’m excited to try out these tips and tricks because i really want to cut down my time!! i’m someone who overthinks alit and i’m such a perfectionist and it gets to me when doing nails

[raya]

These are fantastic tips Tracey! I've been doing my own gel nails for quite some time now but unfortunately they still take hours even when I really try to be quicker and watch my time so now I just do them in a 2 part series for example I'll do the fill 1 day and design the next day so I'm not up all night trying to finish my nails when i have to be up early from work. Sometimes if the design is more elaborate I'll even only get to finish 1 hand and do the other hand the next day lol
One of the best tips that you gave in your how much series video was that you dont have to fully cure when doing a multi layered design on the nail so just flash cure and set it then do the full cure at the end. Even if full cures only take between 30 to 60 seconds it can really add up especially when you're working with one finger at a time so I loved that tip because I always thought you had to do a full cure pretty much every time you stuck your hand in the lamp. I would love to see more how much gel videos and explanations of your time saving tips in real time. You're awesome!
