“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.

4 Most Common Mistakes Beginners Make With Acrylic Nail Application

[nakeasimone]

No tea no shade to the other members of Youngnails because all of you guys are wonderful but Karen has been the only one that gave an in-depth detailed tip on how to pick up the perfect pearl of acrylic on a brush. I feel the urge to move toward acrylic again because the main reason why I moved away from acrylic and more towards gel and polygel was because I couldn’t figure out how to pick up the acrylic properly. Thanks for sharing the knowledge Karen:)

[jeanniewahine]

Yes! This! The minutia is exactly what I needed to learn. You aren't mere instructors, you are educators (btw, this woman is incredibly pleasant to listen to). You can explain the how and the why from every direction, including the how not and why not. I appreciate your thoughtfulness in preparing these videos so even the newest of us can follow along. You are like the ivy league for nail education, but you are offering this for free; I can't get over that!

[carlam.crawford]

Wow, this was probably THE BEST explanation/demonstration that I have seen regarding acrylic application EVER! You made it so clear and understandable, from the proper way to load your brush, to how much acrylic powder to pick up and where on the brush it should be done, to acrylic placement and everything in between. You just made it make sense. I will watch again and again until I am able to execute my acrylic application as easily as you explained/demonstrated it. Thank you!

[tak_tak]

You don’t know how many times I said while watching this, thank you so much I have been doing everything wrong lol no one has explained it like this ❤❤

[caradooley]

A year later I still come to look at YN videos because you guys are so in depth and do visuals which help people like me learn better! Y’all are the goats of nail information period! Thank you for all you do! 😊❤🎉

[catpride]

The instructor, I think Karen, is just wonderful. A very pleasant voice, and her pace is calm, not excited or rushed. It is just perfect for teaching and learning, she needs to take over (behind Greg) for videos. She just has all your attention, and its consistent, you dont gotta lean into " what did she say" or pull back back she suddenly yells or screeches. I also loved the examples she gives - "Looks like an orange peel" - I was like, why has no one said that before!!
I know everything she was teaching today, and still learned something!! I was not bored and in fact, throughly enjoyed the video. Cannot wait to see more videos from Karen.
Thank you for this one. ♡

This video is what you need to master acrylic in 15 min! So much amazing info. Thank you!

[ladonnacoleman]

Wow, thank you ladies and YN. You just showed me most of my mistakes in 15mins. I'm about to do a Rock Star pink and White tonight. Thanks for the confirmation and inspiration 🙏🏽

[patchoulijulie]

These are the kinds of videos that have the best impact on repeat. Karen is the Queen of clear explanation and despite being familiar with my mistakes I need to often be reminded as to what goes wrong. Thanks Karen and YN Fam

[glossguild]

No matter how many videos YN does on this subject, I always learn something new!

[lolacrompton]

I’m getting acrylic nails and I’m excited. I have to watch how they do it for some reason. IDKW.😶😃🥰😎😜

[thelmajones]

Thanks so much My bead was either too wet or too dry and I worked it way too long. My nails looked good by the time I was done, but It took me three hrs to do them. I learned a great lesson today, maybe I can cut the time down to an hour and a half. Once again thanks. This channel is

[natnat]

I literally learnt more in the first 5 mins of this vid, than I did when I did my cosmetology course 😮 thanks for sharing ❤

[Heavenly_Hands]

This video was extremely helpful for me to figure out what I've been doing wrong. Thanks YN for providing for consistent and accurate nail education that I'm able to apply right away! I've decided to only use your acrylic application method as it makes the most sense to me of the methods I've seen. I appreciate you all! 💅🏆👑

[henryyumkhaibam]

Thank you so much for this video. I'm going to be starting to try acrylic soon, this video definitely helps in being mindful of technique and paying attention to detail. Thank you! 😇💕

[lavadarabon-miller]

Thank you! By far the BEST video I have watched carefully explaining acrylic application.

[xandersmomsamby]

Thanks for the tips! I need to get more comfortable with a wetter pearl and letting it flow where it needs to go.

[kmbn]

My goodness!!!! You just fixed 1/2 my problems with this simple training. Thanks sooo much. I'm self taught so every little training helps. I hope one day I can make some money off this.
