“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!

Thanks for great video! For those of you saying this is another’s accounts idea while this technique may look similar I see people posting that YN did something similar 3 years ago. It’s hard to give original credit to any technique as they morph and build over time. For context I have been a hair colour specialist for 32 years. While I am a much different pro now all the basics I learned still are my foundation. If your good at what you do, you keep building on technique. I have to tell new artists all the time that balayage was invented in the 1970’s. I learned in the early 90’s how to do it. My technique has a modern twist but my foundation knowledge has not changed. I believe artists are better when we collaborate and lift each other up.

Young Nails nail tips are obviously made of a good plastic in order to use it like a dual form. If you purchase other nail tips from another company there is no guarantee you will be able to remove the nail tip. Food for thought

I see a bunch of people who keep referring to this as Femi Beauty's Lazy Girl Method, it's not. Femi applies a paper thin layer of polygel on the underside of the nail tip, and leaves the tip on as the strength and structure of the nail. Basically like painting the underside with polish. This method used the tip much like a dual form to build a nail, and then the tip is removed. While the methods are similar, they aren't the same. To clarify, Young Nails originally posted THIS METHOD 3 years ago in a previous video. This is an updated version using their newly launched full cover nail tips. I typically don't comment on the drama surrounding this "Lazy Girl Method" because I dont think anyone can claim credit for an idea that has no patent, and is so similar to several other methods of product application that has been around for years. However, I have seen these same comments on almost every single nail channel lately with people bashing others using this method (I personally don't use the method and prefer traditional sculpting for application). It really takes the fun out of watching videos. This is supposed to be a fun community where people share ideas, techniques and such with each other. Isn't that the point? Just my two cents. But I wish the Lazy Girl warriors would find something else to focus on now.

I would like to see a how to video on treatment planning for improving the health of damaged natural nails and the best enhancements to help the recovery process.

I literally watched you guys do this in a video you recorded 3 years ago! So glad you’ve done an updated one

[mallorikerr]

This method is a great method for those like me who love the different shapes but can't free form shape nails worth a hoot. Granted you will always have haters and drama "queens/kings" with every craft, yes I said craft. This is a craft and an art. I can't shape my nails to save my soul so this looks like it will help me create any look I am looking for minus the cost of the salon.

[terio]

Loved watching this again! I wish some salons would do this instead of using tips as I'd rather have a sculpted nail than tips

[veronika]

I like to say "simplify" .. Sounds better than "cheat" lolol. Awesome video as always 💖💖💖

[catheriner]

Love this for a quick application. It's also great for a DIY replacement if one breaks and your in a hurry. 👍

[shellb]

Literally trying this technique on myself tomorrow 🎉

[georgiabrown]

I forgot this technique. Thank you for refreshing my mind. I’ve learned more from YN than I ever learned in school. Of course that was eons ago. You can teach an old dog new tricks. Love your products.

[candacehandyside]

This takes the fear out of sculpting if you’re brand new at poly gel. Good video

[katrinasheets]

Such a great idea! I honestly wish I'd known about this when I started working with gel a few years ago. But on the flipside I did learn how to sculpt a nail with gel well because that was my only option. However such a great technique for beginners or when you just need to whip out a quick set!!!

Thank You Tracy & Young Nails for another great video.

[driveng]

Followed your detailed instructions very carefully and my polygel set came out perfectly. Thank you so much 👏👏👏💓

[jolenesylvia]

Thank you so much for this. I've tried dual forms and can't quite get the shape but this works so well and I've been able to get a beautiful stiletto shape.

[momofgenius]

This video is GREAT! THANK U SO I have trouble keeping uniformity of shape when I’m sculpting on myself; I can’t wait to try this! Thank you again!

[dorajuarez]

We should all know that we watch these channels so that we could enjoy, learn and know that everyone has different methods to simplify. We just need to understand this and learn to accept and just stop being harsh and using foul language. All of this takes away the enjoyment of watching and learning. Lets make this a better community.

Thank you guys for this content, you're literally making my life better
