“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!

Tracey taught me that "cheese pizza" is great! It's delicious!! But, if you want toppings then you have to pay for those toppings! You want "supreme pizza" you gotta pay for "supreme pizza" toppings! We can make some beautiful "base nails", absolutely BEAUTIFUL, but if they want glitters, crystals, foils, stamping, and striping tape? That will be extra for each! My clients understand this explanation so well... Thank you much Tracey!! 😘😘🥰

[dammit]

It makes sense by giving a base price to your clients and then showing the add-ons. Great idea

I'm just starting my nail business. I'm from the Netherlands btw. And here they're competing also with prices. The Chinese salons are very cheap . I explain to my customers, that I can't compete with them. And that I use good expensive products ( Young nails 😉) and I work only with forms. And that's a craft! And I'm not a big salon, I work from home. So the cost for my purchase is not cheap. Plus you as customers have all my attention. Nobody's is sitting behind you and hurrie you up. And I'm specialising myself in custom nailart. And I'm gonna be the best in the aria 😉 .
And if you wanna go cheap, and have nails like everyone in town...go for it 😂
I give for now as new clients a full set for a special price. But the next appointment you're gonna pay the full price. And about raising prices . Here in the Netherlands prices are decades the same.
And thanks guy for all the teaching and advice you all give 😀

I live in Houston, Tx and my full sets AND fills are $25 no matter the extras. I have been doin nails for about 4yrs....I needed the hell out this video. Thank you so much for liting this fire back up under me!

[rhondaallison]

I think these biz talks are one of my favorite things to watch! I think the hardest thing for me when I first started years ago was figuring out how to calculate my actual product cost like breaking down how many sets I would get out of my powder, monomer and prep products then everything else used during a set that was something I never could find anyone really talk about

I have been doing my own hybrid/ gel sculpted only nails for about 5 years MANY hours hundreds of trial and error practice. And I just got a review from one of the best techs in my city and he said my work is worth 75-90$ base with 1 color.
I was thrilled to get such a good review from such a talented man.
Don’t be afraid to ask the techs you look up too.

[MM-fyfy]

Can you do a sample price list/posting? I’m not a nail tech but I’m OBSESSED with your videos and the business side of this.

[kkw_]

I freakin love their relationship. Professional yet down to earth and real.

[kahylimayy]

Can you guys make an updated version please this is one of the most helpful videos y’all have made!!

[cailloutowers]

I love these videos I’m not a nail tech but it’s nice knowing when I get my nails done what decisions got behind the pricing. My nail tech is pricy but I’m paying for quality and I’m glad she knows her worth by not pricing too low

[kathytarman]

Here you go again helping so many people. You guys have been so helpful to people in the same business and that is so special. Thank you for being you.

[alphaznailsfabulous]

Thank you guys so much! You don't understand how much it helps getting tips and tricks on how to survive in this industry.

Most if not all the salons in the Hampton Roads area charge more for gel. When I asked about it, at one salon, she gave me some crazy answer. Since she filed my nails so thin it bled… I started doing my own. I now make press ons for friends and now know more about product…this is so very interesting and insightful.

[chelseabangs]

That’s so true about the trade shows. I do hair and love it. I love nails too, but don’t do other peoples because I was so intimidated. There wasn’t really any education or sometimes even nail products at these things. You guys are really breaking things down and inspiring me to start offering nail services to my guests. I love your products too, I’ve not been able to return to other polish since caption usually lasts 2 or 3 weeks on me.

[sylviabelt]

I have been working on commission for over a year. And I'm ready to start on my own. This has helped out a lot! Thank you so much!

[KrazyPink_Kerry]

Loving these biz talks and the banter between Tracey and habib. They have like a brother sister relationship always picking on each other. In jest of course. I could watch these all day long. Always stop whatever I’m doing when a new one drops.

[empogirl]

I still get mad when clients send pictures and wants a 100$ set for 60$

[terio]

I'm glad you covered no surprises! The worst surprise I had was getting charged $25 extra for regular polish on a square sport set. Not being told polish was extra caused me never to return when that was not the general practice in the area and nothing on the wall suggesting it wouldn't be included

I'm waiting to get more better with my work before I start taking clients plus I'm in the process of seeing if I can get licensed through my state board since I've already completed the full 1, 500 hours required for state board testing.

[tycolab]

I need this!!! This has been my problem for awhile!! You guys read my mind!!!😊😊
