“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! - Jak na to + styl
I graduated nail school in July 2022. August I focused on getting my license. September I had zero clients, I focused on promoting myself. I went into barber shops, salons, assisted living , outside of clubs while people are in line, I bought stickers and stuck them on poles (in appropriate areas). I bought a flag to put outside and I just KNEW people were going to flock! Nope 👎🏾 I inherited 6-8 clients the entire month and only 3 returned in October. I was feeling like a failure! I started developing a relationship with my returning clients and they have come through and done some promoting for me ! November I counted 7repeats 🥰. December was extremely slow for me but I focused on improving my application on my training hand , worked on some trends and strived to apply glitter like tracy lol. I definitely realized that this is a process but coming out of school I thought it would happen over a few months. Realistically estimating now I can see it taking 2 years to be comfortable. I have multiple side gigs and a carry my business cards with me everywhere! When I deliver peoples groceries in my area I stick a card in the bag! When I do Uber I talk about my business (if someone asks what I do) and give them a card ! I have met hundreds of people and passed out hundreds of cards. If I get 1-2 regulars out of it , it’s a win! I love your talks and thank you guys for inspiring myself and others everyday!
I just have to say that I feel your energy and I hope this is something you NEVER give up!!! Please don't forget comments like mine. I'm one of those who will ABSOLUTELY speak up if I feel led to do so, and I'm an empath and I feel so strongly that your career is going to be bussin in no time girl! Keep that boss game up and NEVER GIVE UP!
@@jennclark6116 thank you so much ! 🥰🥰🥰
Congratulations on your license 🪪 keep on learning and growing, and everything will fall into place. Much love 💕 🎨💕from @BeautyFromWithinOutNails&makeup #BeautyFromWithinOutNailsAndMakeup
If you don’t fail you don’t learn. Simple. That goes for anything in life. I’m a perfectionist, but I
Make mistakes… ESPECIALLY about nails I still learn something new EVERYDAY. Be consistent and open to constructive criticism acknowledge your imperfections. Be humble and you will succeed ❤
I've learned patience because of nails. I know this is definitely my passion because if not, I would've given up a long time ago. I'm on year #3 as of January 2023 since I first picked up a nail acrylic brush. I know that's not enough time to learn techniques. I'm on almost year two for my business and being licensed - that's nowhere near enough time to build a business or brand. One thing ppl have to know is that there is no time span for your individual nail journey. ❤️ Thanks YN for giving the nail industry what it needs. THE TRUTH.
In this business we get caught up in “instant fame” because we can do cute nails. Social media is full of false advertising and unrealistic expectations. It takes lots of work, strategies, practice, dedication and perseverance to succeed.
amen its so much more
I am pro working for yourself but as a beginner I suggest working in the salon at least 3-6 months. You will get support and encouragement from other techs, clients daily, learn what it takes to run a salon(for free), you get to make mistakes and make a minimum wage. All you have to do is show up at a salon, you are guaranteed to make money and learn something new. As they said, they key to becoming a great nail tech is practice. You can't get that with 1 client a week and working on a mannequin.
I qualified in 2020 in UK. I set up my home salon and after almost 2 years I'm finally feeling like I'm getting somewhere! I'm still only working 2.5 days while working another job too, but I take photos of every set, I have my branding how I like it and I work EVERY day promoting my biz. I'm exhausted but I won't give up!! I believe in myself and I'm working hard, learning by my mistakes, learning from online mentors like you guys, I do extra training courses and j try new things... and I see improvement. I know I will succeed 👍😊
thank you Young Nails. Truer word were never said. patience, feer, if at first you dont succeed try try try again
Great accurate video! 22 years veteran and have been through every stage of failure you touched on. My burnout happened to coincide with covid and still do not know how to pick up those pieces.
Whew, I can relate! You have to develop tough skin and GRIT. In 2013, I was fresh out of nail school and thrown to the wolves at my first job in the nail tech industry. You learn QUICKLY that the formal training for nail technology is vastly different than a fast pace nail salon. It took me 2hrs to do my first full set in the salon and the client was patient but not with me. I literally cried on my drive home after work but I knew this was something that I really wanted so I stuck with it. It took about 3 months to get repeat clientele and I celebrated every win. I learned that the best thing to do was to continue to practice my craft, build a RELATIONSHIP with my clients, and have unlimited patience. 10yrs later and I’m still here and licensed in multiple states. 💅🏽 It takes time.
Mi primera chamba 😭😭😭
I am a Nail enthusiast. I love doing nails to the point I got licensed. I don’t take clients. I would love to be an ambassador for a nail manufacturing company one day. For now I just do what I love which is nails especially to escape my corporate life. 😊
My very first full set working in a salon came out so pretty. It took like 3 hours to do and the client loved them. The next day my boss came up to me and said the client called and every nail had already popped off. She’d been doing nails for over 30 years and thought it was hilarious because all new techs struggle with adhesion but I had my license for a few months and it really took a toll on my confidence. But she taught me so much about how to really do nails. And not just the state board passing kind.😂 Now I have my own salon. And still visit hers from time to time.
I'm a complete beginner nail enthusiast and I love your channel. So much information!
Well I'm a beginner n I'm glad that u give classes n steps to being good at nail tech
Absolutely brilliant. ❤😊 Totally needed this.
Thank you for this video 🙏❤
I do have to agree on intimidation from social media. Is hard but we just have to wary focus, strong, and patience. Great conversation by the way ❤
I simply love young nails, you beautiful people, your products, and the realness of your social media! I am full of gratitude for you all!❤️✨🤗😊
… and I’ve been following and purchasing your products since 2004 I’ve been a practicing a nail technician❤🎉love you guys ❤️
This is definitely a great topic, I myself have been having these feelings of self doubt, and the fear that I’m not good enough or that I always make the wrong decisions…. Is this the right thing for me to get into? Maybe I should quit before I really let myself down. Thank you for speaking on this. I’ve finally talked about this to husband and he told me that he knows I can do this and even though he has said it, I myself have to believe it as well…. And I thank him for helping me through it. And I know it’s only the beginning, and this will keep happening from time to time, that’s why it’s so important to continue to talk it out. Love you guys! ❤❤❤
New Year and new location for me! Thankfully, many of my existing clients are willing to follow me to my new place, which is 30 miles away from the old one. But I also started advertising in advance. I’m going to a booth rental situation and placed a sandwich board in the salon “coming soon” and “schedule now” have worked so well right there. Being able to use my creativity while I refresh my business model has moved me out of that slump.
I would absolutely love to have a cuppa & chat with you.
Everything you've said I've implemented & gone through hard times too but 21 years this year im proud to say I'm going strong, gratitude all the way.
I'm smiling from ear to ear lol.
Thankyou for all your time🌻
This is how I feel about my Tupperware business. I constantly have to remind myself to learn from my mistakes and up-line.
Yeah I got my license in 2003 started working in a barber shop / hair salon the first part of the summer. I made a total of 1000 that entire summer doing nails and I got impatient and quit.
Now I only do my own nails as a hobby I got into another career. Patience Patience Patience is key and continuous education on your craft.
Most of these Nail content creators are not even licensed and they don’t properly know the craft and they are self taught. And it took YEARS for them to get good and the following they have.
As a customer, i always went for my service and just got one color polish not even glitter, thats how i liked them. now as a nail tech, i shall say i am not picasso when it comes to nail art but i consider that i know the basics, i try to follow trends, or be creative on my own, i have been doing my own nails for years and every once in a while i look at my old tech’s social media and she is still pretty much doing the same stuff she has been doing all these years, dont get me wrong, she is great at nail shaping and the nails are very long lasting, but i just think its important to keep learning for so many reasons, and making more money is a good reason 😊
Happy New Year to me !!!!!!!!! 🍾🥂💞💌
i;m a nail tech from 2005. i do nails, skin, waxing, makeup. 50% of my biz is nails. I was very scared of nail enhancements/ and i do not like the smell of acrylic. but the nail products have advanced so far and things are much healthier and lots of new options. I finally bought a nail drill, do you believe i just overcame my fear of it and i am super excited to learn something new. i am slowly getting into harder gels, and i am struggling with 1 client. you have to use marketing and referrals for you business.. I am going to do more of this and attract the client you NEED.
Mine us definitely fear of messing up someone's nails
🥺🥺🥺 yes 🙌
