“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!

[jennyrubi]

Thank you for these informative videos!!! ❤❤❤

[sharonbaxter]

I would love to see you do a sculpted coffin on your middle finger or thumb because you look like you have quite wide flat nail beds . Hope this doesn't sound rude, it's not meant to be rude in the slightest, you just have the type of nail bed I struggle with. Thank you in advance x x x

[thearmchairjournalist]

Is this because I asked?? I love you guys 💜💅🎉

[thearmchairjournalist]

Can you do a extra long stiletto now, and a shorter stiletto showing the height of each arch and position.
This was a perfect video, thank you for doing it 💜💜💜

[ruli]

Thank for all the helpful information! I understand the position of the apex is dependent on the length of the nail. The longer the nail, the further back it needs to be. My question is. How do you appropriately determine the proper height the apex should be for the length you've created?

[LeonardG]

When using the e-file, if I accidentally file more of what I should can I just put some protein bond and add more acrylic or should I redo the whole nail?

[nyrevrsc]

At 21:42 the nail you are filing pops off - I have your training hand but am always surprised at how you get it to click in 3 times to give you a realistic-looking cuticle. What am I doing incorrectly to not get that look?

[mrssmurfette]

Can you show us how to do acrylic on ppl with the ski jump nails? I have them and it's so hard to put forms.on and even acrylic is a little harder to put on as well without seeing the jump at the free edge.

Please and thank you xo

What is the brand name of the acrylic?
