“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!

    YES! We do need more active-length nails videos. Many do not have the luxury of wearing longer nails myself included. My nail beds are 10mm or 3/8" except for my thumb so I end up with a total of 3/4" including the nail bed. 😣 This video is going to be my "after-work" reward, I can't wait! Great opportunity to try my new YN acrylic kit after 2 years of not touching monomer at all.

He explains so well, that even a blonde like me, understands what to do. Thanks for these videos, you yn guys are awesome! And it's nice to see some short(er) nails for a change. (For me, even these are long🙃)

    THANK YOU SO MUCH!! This is more realistic length where I live and for myself, thank you thank yout hank yout hank you :D. I have to do research, but, how much length can we do just with overlay on natural nail? The natural nail reaches this lenght or less very quickly. Do we have to file the natural nail underneath to prevent lifting? Its easy to overfile the acrylic and make it thin so near of the hyponychium (for me)

And 2: The 'maintenance under the nail' after applying acrylics on that same "4x4" thick nail. For example, how to have it look "normal" and not too thick at the end, if that make any sense. Like that perfect "C curve". And any other examples that could be related. I struggle with this so much for some reason. 🤦🏽‍♀️ Thanks in Advance ❗❤💞

The only thing I would ask is, in the final shots of the finished nails, please show side views, to give us an idea of the height and placement of the apex. It's a little difficult to see the overall point of view when watching you work. Again, thanks for the wonderful videos.
