“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 you! This was EXACTLY what I needed to see! Wish you continued the video with cutting nails, cuticles, and reapplication as mentioned. Would like to know realistically how much time the whole service beginning to end would take. I’ve seen Tracy timed with removal and reapplication in 30 minutes but she’s not having to do different bits and cuticle work and cutting the nails and hand massage so I’m comparing my time to that which isn’t realistic. I can’t seem to do all of that in less than 15 minutes to an hour

Thank you so very much for the awesome tutorials!!! I am in no way shape or form a nail tech, by any means. I needed something to do during the winter months, other than snow blowing!!! Lol. So I started working on nails and let me just say, it's a lot harder than it looks!! But I like a challenge!! And I'm learning so much from your video's. And I have ordered from your nail line, it all came in record time, tysvm!!! So PLEASE keep the tutorials coming!!! Thank You!!!

DUDE!!!! Thank you so much from the bottom of my deep dark heart. THIS ADVICE is LIFE CHANGING... No seriouslly. My phobia of the dremal is completly alieviated. Using the bottom of the drill bit vs the tip is seriouslly the technioque advicce I needed to acquire for my self manicure education endeavors. THANK YOU. Seriously. This information has been a game changer for me. I am so sensitive. Thsi is the whole reason why I ended up purchasing my manicure tool set. I hate when technitions use too intense RPM w/ their dremals resulting in that burning sensation / bleeding ro nicking / whatever else. I cannot thank you enough for posting this educational technical turorial. *THANK YOU*

Hello there, absolutely appreciate all of your videos. The info is so helpful and well explained. On that note I have a question I hope y'all can answer. My mom has been a nail tech for over 20yrs, she even once owned her own salon. Due to covid, we decided it would be a good idea to start doing our nails at home. We bought all new products, when she goes to do my fill in for some reason the acrylic powder seems to be a little finicky and after the foundation has been laid, it seems to become cloudy or chalky looking. Idk if it's bcuz she's old school and isn't used to all the new ways products are made, but everything still works just fine and our nails look good.

I love watching your videos. You are an amazing instructor! I am a student at the moment so some of the lingo is not familiar. When you say ‘gel polish’ do you mean the whole system of base gel, builder gel, whatever art you do, then top coat? Or do you mean just the art or color? Since this is an efile video, can you clear up the mystery of the different types of bits? Diamond, carbide, ceramic,? Different shapes and their purposes? Thank you

What if you wanted To remove the base coat as well what would you use to not damage the natural nail? Also, when you say to not work from side to side why does it look like you work side to side when you’re feathering down the nail? I’m kind of confused... please clarify. I received my nail drill but I’m so scared of using it & getting a heat spike.

What would be the process after removing the gel polish and not wanting to reapply, I would like to give my nails a break and make them look nice after removing the gel polish but also give them some strength until I apply the gel polish in a few months. I'm mostly thinking of doing this for my toes. Thanks for all your help!

@youngnailsinc Год назад

This isn't about removing gel polish, but she does a good job of showing how she would process after product is removed without reapplying. Start at around 4:40. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-rmYa7D-M6bY.html

@east1hebeast928 3 года назад

Thank you! Love this video.... I’m a new nail tech & have a question. I thought carbide bits were cut in 1 direction & that going back & forth was bad. When Greg feathers, is he lifting the bit slightly off the nail? Or am I mistaken & it is ok to go back & forth? I love the way he feathers because it seems like it would prevent hot spots or rings of fire.

@youngnailsinc 3 года назад

always go in one direction towards yourself. it's so quick that it looks back and forth but you pick it up so you always go one direction.

@livealittle2397 2 года назад

Thank you so much this has been very informative. I myself have over filed my nails and this has taught me that I do not have to do that anymore. My one question is, if I am going from a hard gel to acrylic do I have to remove all of the one product before applying the other product or is it ok to leave a thin layer of the old product? Thank you in advance for the help

@youngnailsinc 2 года назад

Since you are going to hard gel from acrylic it's fine to leave a bit since gel sticks better to acrylic than acrylic does to gel.

@youngnailsinc Год назад

Our sanding bands are 150 grit at 3,000-5,000 rpms for prep

@kaila8175 2 года назад

I only have the sanding bit and not the first one showed. Should I used the rougher one of my 2 I have ? Then do cuticle work. For some reason my color was very hard to get off and didn’t have a layer of gel left at bottom so my nails were frail

@youngnailsinc 2 года назад

Using an arbor band to remove all of your gel polish can take a long time and can also create heat on the nail as people tend to use more pressure since it takes longer to get the color off. What you can do instead is to use the safety bit (carbide with the rounded top) to remove the color and then you can switch to the arbor band to remove the base coat if you are wanting to completely remove the product. However, if you are just changing the color, you don't have to completely remove the base coat. Simply remove the color and re-prep the surface (including the base that's left on the nail) with the medium arbor band. Re-apply your Protein Bond and then go to your Base Coat, color and Top Coat.

@kaila8175 2 года назад

@@youngnailsinc thank you !! Will try my next set !!

@MD-cs7jd 2 дня назад

For a beginner to this technique, would you recommend starting with a ceramic bit instead? Is it ok if old base layer remains before new application?

@youngnailsinc 19 часов назад

When removing product, we recommend starting with the Coarse Safety Bit to remove the bulk of the product. When you get closer to the natural nail, switch to the medium sanding band as this will remove smaller amounts of product at a time. This will also show the outline of the product you can see where there is still product and where it's natural nail. Yes, it is fine if the base layer stays. It will just be added strength when you reapply.

@DevCreates 2 года назад

I love this video ty so much Can I get this course bit off of Amazon?

@youngnailsinc 2 года назад

Our coarse safety bit is not available on amazon at the moment, but it is on our website. www.youngnails.com/products/safety-bit-coarse

@PRINCEBABYBOY305 Год назад

Was the arbor band fine grit? And do you buff the nail after you prep it with the orange buffer? Im a nail tech in Miami trying to perfect my gel manicures ❤

@youngnailsinc Год назад

The sanding band is a 150 grit and we do not buff the nails unless they aren't putting product back on. Buffing makes the nails too smooth and product adheres better to a textured surface.

@amandaellis7366 5 месяцев назад

This is exactly what I needed to know, but there is a challenge with this. Doing this on myself will be challenging because I am right handed. How will I do this?

@youngnailsinc 5 месяцев назад

if you are right handed and you are e-filing your right hand using your left, you switch to reverse depending on which way your right hand is facing. If that makes sense. If you have your fingers bent downward into your palm like almost making a fist, you use reverse. If you work on your right hand while it is flat facing away from you keep it in forward.

@stacy-annkelly8054 2 года назад

If you did a gel manicure and has your finished with the set, the client say that she doesn't like the color. Can you use the same techniques and dits to remove it?

If a client wasn't having anything re applied would it be best to soak that last little bit of base coat off then and apply plenty of cuticle oil?

Is keramic medium bit for removing the gelpolish on natural nails?

@youngnailsinc 7 месяцев назад

You can use it for removing gel polish but you don't want it to hit the natural nail. So, if you are worried about that we would recommend stopping when close and using a sanding band or cross cut bit to get the rest off.

@laurenalmaguer3305 2 года назад

Wait, so what happens to the remaining base coat on the nail? Does it come off with a quick buff?

@youngnailsinc 2 года назад

If you are trying to completely remove the gel polish and transition back to just a natural nail, the remaining base coat can be buffed off with a 240 buffer or just smoothed out and allowed to grow out with the nail. If you are re-applying gel polish, you will prep/remove shine from the remaining base coat and re-apply another base coat over it. This will add durability to the nail as well as protect the natural nail so you aren't filing the natural nail ever time and potentially causing damage.
