    “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.

      @@darlaundiks3788 It's been a year since I wrote that comment, and filing is STILL an area that I struggle with! I've definitely improved, but still have a ways to go. It's filing to shape that is so difficult for me. I think it's hardest on my own nails because several of mine grow so crooked, and it really messes up my perception of the nail itself. I keep waiting for the day it just comes to me LOL!

    Is there a very, very beginner's video guide to your products - what each is for and what to use when? I know some of the basics but you guys have some fancy stuff!
    Keep up the brilliant work. Thank you for every single thing. So much love to you each.

    I finally properly used these techniques on myself... actually broke it down and made sure to do each step... and my nails have never looked better!! Breaking it down really does help keep nice consistent filing and shaping... my nails were so wonky before! I appreciate you breaking down filing, not only in this video but almost all your videos you repeat things all the time and it's super helpful. Thanks!

    This was so helpful, thank u! Question, when polishing natural nails with gel polish can I use protein bond and skip the base coat? Will protein bond prevent gel polish streaks when polishing the nail?

    • @aussieaussieaussie9438
      @aussieaussieaussie9438 Před 3 lety

      Great question!

    • @youngnailsinc
      @youngnailsinc  Před 3 lety +1

      you can use protein bond when applying gel polish to the natural nail. If you soak off, we recommend only applying it to the tip. If you use an e-file to remove then you can use it over the whole nail. I would still use a base coat though, unless the gel polish doesn't require it like our go time gel polish.

I have found that it is much easier working on my daughter using the filing tips and tricks you provide. However, i am really struggling to file my own 😢 I cant seem to find the right angles to hold my file. I am struggling with both the hand file and the e-file.

  • @ambrag2cute358
    @ambrag2cute358 Před 10 měsíci

    Would you follow this same method for natural nails with acrylic? Or just natural nails after a manicure? ( not with the drill of course)❤

    • @youngnailsinc
      @youngnailsinc  Před 10 měsíci +1

      If you are working on a natural nail with acrylic overlay, you would still follow the same procedure, you just may not need to file the lower arch since the nail itself will not be hanging down.
      For a natural nail manicure with no enhancement, all you would need to file is shaping the free edge.

      Make sure you don't just run your prep file flat over the edge. Make sure to catch the corners of the file as well. After prepping the file, gently run your finger across the edge to see if you still feel any sharp edges. If you do, prep the surface again.
