“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!

What's so sad is that I was taught in nail school to build my nails from the tip to the cuticle area using the 3 ball method and I have always struggled wit nails too thick...this is why! Thanks for educating us on the proper way to do 3 balls!!!

Not sad, all schools teach that way. Many companies have their own techniques (similar to hair) so finding what works for you after school is where you learn to perfect your craft

Saaaaaame! 3 bead method is how my school teaches and it sucks. I can’t seem to do a moderate sized nail. It’s always too thick. This video is soooo good.
I always feel like I owe YN's some money after I watch their videos. I can't believe they post all of this education for Free! Lol. They are extremely helpful and I am so grateful that they do this. Thank you!
Thanks! We beginners watch 100s of videos and watch everyone started in the middle. I appreciate this more than I can let you know.

I don’t mind spending money with this company because you all really care and put time into explaining these steps in detail. I will always support this company.

That’s crazy how perfect the nail ended up being. You didn’t even file or anything and it was absolutely perfect.
BINGO! I did my best nail EVER after watching this video. It’s absolutely correct and now I know why my nails were always chunky, thick and mis-shaped. Like the other people say, thousands of videos from reputable professionals say we should begin at the nail edge. It’s taken eighteen months struggling and almost giving up trying to teach myself, as everywhere was shut during lockdown. YOU ARE A GENIUS, LEGEND AND STAR 🤩 Thank you Thank you Thank you xxxxx I will not watch anyone else for training now. Wish I lived in the USA to attend your school 🥰
I would love to see a video like this for gel but with a more medium or active length. 😁

I qualified 8 weeks ago in acrylic application and I was taught to start from the tip and work back, I've found my nails to turn out so thick and I had alot of filing to do to make them look better. I am going to try working from the cuticle down and see how I go. I love these videos

This just changed my whole life I'm a licensed cosmetologist and I do my own nails but was never confident enough to offer that service because I wanted to be consistent with my services. This just showed me what I've done wrong. Not just the apex but just watching your whole technique!!! Mind blowing!!!🤯
My apex back in the days when i started doing nails was so not acceptable and it looked so flat because mostly here in india people or i can say my clients dont prefer that curve to the nails cause naturally in india our nails dont have that strong arch so they would feel that the nail looked bulky because of the apex so i did it flat many a times but no complaints they wanted it and enjoyed it slowly i made them understand that apex provides support to the nails and it is necessary to have an apex now i have nailed the apex like a pro but it was difficult to get the hang of it to be honest😅but practice and practices makes the skills better😊

I've been a nail tech for over 30 years, I was taught to do nails like you teach them, several years later after my daughter became an adult she wanted to go to school so I sent her where I went ,the instructor didn't know how to really do nails so I taught her and everything I was teaching her they said was wrong that's why I ran a successful nail salon for 35 years just want to thank you so much for teaching the way you do it served me well hope it helps the new comers also!!
A work of Art you explained it so well.
This video is definitely going to be a game changer for me! I've always started from the middle and worked backwards and I ALWAYS have so much filing to do.. I can't wait to try this! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us💗

I have watched COUNTLESS acrylic nail building videos all year long. I bought my first acrylics last December! I literally did my FIRST nail the other day… it was like I was watching myself when he did it the beginner way 😂 I digress, this is the most concise, AMAZINGLY explained video and I feel like if I had seen this video ALONE at the beginning of my acrylic journey, I would’ve started MUCH sooner 😅 I am sooooo thankful for you both and this channel!
Love it very helpful. Thank you 😊
Watching your videos makes me feel like I can get up and do it as your talking . You make things look so easy !!!
Gorgeous nail!
Thank you so much your such a great teacher
Y’all are amazing…dang. It looks awesome
Your videos are so so helpful, when i was taught many years ago we were taught the 3 ball method and to start in the middle. these look so natural with the apex. I have really been enjoying your nail tutorials and all your content. Keep up the great work guys!! Loving my cover pink powder and all young nails products i have used by the way very happy i made the swap!! Thanks from Australia!!
You explain Very well. Makes perfect sense to me to start from the cuticle first 👌💡
That's a thing of beauty!!
Yessss. I definitely work my way backwards. Gonna have to try this!

OMG, I wish I would have saw this video before I sculpted my nails! As a new nail tech I couldn’t figure out why my nails overall are so bulky, I be filing down bulk for a while !

Oh my God I just did it happy dance and ended up hitting the chandelier because I was like I knew that you were supposed to start from the cuticle. I've never been to school or at least I haven't been yet so knowing this made me feel like super excited because I just knew it!
Some very good advice. Thanks.

OMG!!!! I was told 3 pearls. Middle FIRST, Drag forward ADD ADD ADD. This makes so much more sense. But the real thing is getting that PEARL right. It just comes off your brush and nearly sets itself. And I think this method means less filing near the cuticle. I am so glad I found this channel. THANK YOU!
This is why Greg is our Nail Godfather! Thank you for your wisdom and teachings! 🙏🏽💖🥰

This channel is the most informative and clear guide for beginners I have found. I have learned so much and I've only watched 2 videos! Lol. Thank you! I barely started to do nails and my nails are bulky. This showed me what I was doing wrong. Great videos!

Cherish Delorme true. My arches on longer nails are good but short ones...sometimes I find them chunky looking.
Offically learned that i was watching the wrong videos before today. For the second time today, THANK YOU YN! lol this is much simpler than the 3 pearl technique i was using and i haven't even utilized it yet! 💜
Greg!!! I wish I could send you a picture!! All I can say is THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO ESPECIALLY.... AND ALL YOUR OTHER ONES AS WELL!!! This method is gonna change my application for the BETTER!! And my CAREER in this game ☺️👌🏾 THANKS AGAIN 🙏🏽 Peace and continued blessings

I’ve been doing the three bead method but this? I NEEDED THIS. I automatically subscribed and I will use this method immediately
Interesting I taught myself and have been applying from the cuticle to tip. This was something I learned through experimenting and I wasn’t sure if it was correct but I get compliments all the time that my nails are well shaped and asked how I achieve it. My nails have a strong natural arch and i feather them around the cuticle versus many I see bubble up mine look natural around the edge. I’ve noticed that my nails are less apt to break and be damaged. This was an issue I had early on. One day I had an epiphany to not use any nail extensions because they can cause too much buildup not to forget they can easily chip/break. Now I can tell them it’s all about application and refer them here. TY, Subscribed!
I love it !!
As always your video are well explained, helpful and concise. I always learn from them. Thanks
