“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.

I have been doing mine and my friends and family's nails using dipping powder and hard gel for a few months now. I love doing it and they always tell me that I should do it professionally. I always tell them that I dont think its attainable. I have been binge watching your videos for the last month and you guys have inspired and motivated me and I have orientation for school next Friday! Thank you for all the advise and information and your honesty. Im so excited. 🙂❤
You've got this! 💕
Thank God for free nail education on social media, I am licensed and watching Young Nails videos have helped out so much. I wish there were certification courses in my area.
In the states it’s about the states getting their cut$$. It’s not about the states making sure students are educated well.
Very true or they wouldn't make it so expensive for a barely there lisence. I feel it don't take much schooling for what they teach you that actually gives you the license to practice so why is that license so hard to obtain? Or are people creating actual nail schools that we can get licensed/certified?
Sooo true!!!
Facts💯
As of January 2021 Ct now requires licensing. And school is expensive and does not teach actual nail services. Thank god for your videos!
Yes they teach you actual nail services of course they do they are required to, but you will not gain skill from going to school and you will not learn beyond the very basics. I feel like everyone wants to skate around this inconvenient fact, but if you are not licensed you have no business calling yourself a nail technician. Definitely channels like young nails and many others on CZcams are super essential to become skilled in all the best techniques so you can excel!
Good to know! It's great to have current info on state licensing requirements.
I mean it don't matter because most of the country requires a lisence but the issue is where can you get licensed without spending so much time and money learning about hair and barely about nails? Is cosmetology school the only option?
@@melissavega6243 This is what I’m trying to find out. So far I’ve seen school cost $18,000 to $20,000 just for cosmetology. I have no issue getting licensed, but to pay this much to learn everything about cosmetology except what I actually need is absurd.
@@vcamie8755 No they don’t, they only teach absolute basics. They will teach you how to do a basic manicure, and about sanitization, but absolutely nothing about acrylic or gel, nothing about any type of enhancement. I’ve known 3 people who graduated from our local cosmetology school who told me this, I’ve called the few schools I can find and asked them directly. They teach a basic nail manicure and that’s it. I have no issue getting licensed-but this seems absurd to pay this much to learn nothing. We are talking around $20,000-not just a few grand. Not to mention all the precious time spent on hair and skin, all of which I have no interest in. If I find anything about I’ll update this post. Honestly I would love to just take classes from business like young nails, and get licensed that way but unfortunately I don’t think it works like that.
Thus should be shared everywhere!! I don't know how many times I have to educate people about the importance of continuing education! These classes not only teach you to be better but they keep you updated on new trends. Awesome topic❤❤❤
You guys inspired to start nail school, so I really have to thank everyone at Young Nails. Thank you for teaching me that it's never too late to go after something you really want and if you love it, you'll always be successful. ❣
Excited to say that I'm a self taught manicurist for 28yrs I know but finally gonna start nail school Monday whoohoo. I'm going from a Cosmo to a nail tech which is my passion and love💜😁👍
Congratulations !!!
Congrats! Where are you located?
I went to nail school back in 2010/2011 and when I completed the course I felt so discouraged because I felt like I wasn’t prepared at all. In nail school I didn’t get a lot of hands on training. But I’ve found a new passion for nails and I’m looking to go back to school and getting licensed. Your videos and IG lives have been amazing because I’ve learned so much so thank you for that
I'm in New Zealand. Legally at the moment you don't need either to practice. Watching this tho I would almost go so far as to say there's a third area. Licensed, certified and qualified. Alot will think certified is the same as qualified but within my studies and education to get my qualifications I learned sanitizing, cleanliness, anatomy and physiology and the basic principle into nails. When I did brand education (ie certification) I learned alot more on how a specific product worked, molded tips, chemical compound vs allergy reactions etc. Licensing almost seems a basic step compared to these. Licensing is almost like advertising responsibility as a professional
There’s more room to grow when you are licensed. Certainly certification is a plus. It looks good on paper for sure. Especially if you want to educate nail tech prospects. ❌⭕️💋💅🏾💅🏾
I think it just sucks how expensive they make everything with school and even supplies then studying on top for a state board tests it makes a lot of ppl feel overwhelmed.
True; however, anything worth a damn is never easily obtained.
The schools that I contacted want $15,000 and want me to take mostly classes for hair. I'm not interested in hair
@@Faithfull1016 that’s a Cosmetology school. You need only Nail Tech school. I found one in my area for only $1,900. I did a lot of research to find it
What I'm gathering from this intro: we need to buy more young nails products so Habib can afford a second pair of pants
You guys are 100% on point , I am licensed , but I started my nail journey in my late 20s purchased some nail supplies from Sally's beauty and began my mad scientist learning with acrylic , liquid to powder, and such . I self taught myself before electing a school to get licensed , so process was mainly books, sanitation, and exams. The on hands was easy since I learned/taught my self in that area. But I have to say when I found YOUNG NAILS HERE I HAVE TO THANK YOU GUYS/GALS !!!! And I still am loyal to all f your learning videos and more !!! I love you guys thank you for taking out your time, to teach us new things and inform us on new nail topics always !!🥰 much gratitude to you all and respect . 🙏🏽🤌🏽💯
I'm going to check out a Nail Tech school tomorrow. 😊😊😊 It costs $4000 for a 300-hour course in the Tampa Bay area. I'm so excited and thankful I found your channel. I'm in my 50s but very hip and fun so this should be a new exciting journey for me. Thank you for all your wonderful videos! I'm too young to stay retired. On to my next career!!! 😂😊
I was an avid nail client. Since quarantine, with the help of your videos I self taught myself acrylic. And what helped was that you sell to non licensed nail techs.
I think you guys should really touch on/give a little more credit to nail enthusiasts because we self taught ourselves and seeked out the knowledge. I’m not saying licensed nail techs don’t, but the only reason I’m not licensed yet is money for school.
I love your videos but I think there is a community you aren’t speaking to yet you sell products to them.
I love you guys and your products this is just a little of my opinion.
I totally agree! I'm sure most are enthusiasts rather than licensed but those are the ones that started from nothing with nothing and now showing work like pros but unfortunately don't have a license. But the person that just got out of school that has a license don't know anything yet but they can at least take money for services. If you've been doing nails for a very long time and have a skill but no license then you can't get paid for what you do and some licensed nail techs don't like the self taught artist's calling themselves nail techs. Why they're sensitive about it I don't know. They should lift each other up! Make it cheaper to get that license since they do t teach you much and you'll still have a long ways to go before you get to where you're comfortable with a nice clientele.
@@melissavega6243 I completely agree. And until I am licensed I consider myself and enthusiast. I guess what bothers me is their lack of credit to a nail enthusiast. I get it and they’ve said before that they love and support nail techs. But what bothers me is how they sell to non licensed but never talk about that audience.
@@melissavega6243 I agree that school should be less expensive because it’s not fair. I was lucky enough to live in a city where they had numerous nail programs and I found the cheapest one. I learned very basic skills and still had to put in the same amount of effort as self taught techs learning nail skills from videos, classes, one-on-ones to better my craft. What I’m happy I learned about is about nail disorders, diseases, which products are safe to use and how to safely use them, disinfection, and the nail structure which is def a must to know regardless if you are licensed are not because you are working on the public, and your health and your clients health, is the upmost important thing. I don’t put down anyone but some nail techs may feel like it’s not fair that some people get to call themselves nail techs when they had to put in the money and time in securing the license. Then you have people who are doing amazing nails for $20-30 (that should be priced more) because they are unlicensed and now it’s not only a disservice to themselves but other techs because some individuals think they should get Instagram style nails for that price. Regardless if your licensed or not know your worth when it comes to doing nails
I agree cheers to self taught! I’m also self taught and financially i can’t afford school to go take a test and get “license”. All my friends love my nails! And keep referring me and it’s hard to say no when they love your work all because of schooling. Agree with you!
I'm from the UK, we don't need a licence, but I chose to do a course in acrylic which gave me a certificate to show I am qualified to carry out this service. We were taught safety and hygiene as well as nail structure, building, finishing, infills maintenance, health of the nail and nail conditions etc. I only did the course to get access to professional products, Young Nails products of course. I don't do nails on anyone else, but I know I'm doing it right. And the wealth of knowledge you guys share is amazing. I'm always learning.
It’s all about location. Nail School only cost me 1800$ but I do overstand it costs thousands on average. What annoys me is people calling themselves a nail tech and they are NOT licensed. If your homegirl does your hair in the kitchen you wouldn’t call her a cosmetologist but in this industry it seems to be a free for all. Anyway; another good video
where do you live? jw
What nail school you went to?
Only $1800 damn lucky! Mine is $3700 😭
My nail tech course cost $9,200 😳
Thats pretty cheap. Here in new jersey its 4-6 grand..
In the Nederlands nailsalons ask for certificates nailtechs. But it's not licensed. You don't need a licence here . I opened my own nail studio from home without a certification. But I registered myself at the Chamber of Commerce ,because I want the clients to take me serious. A licensed nailtech doesn't mean they are a good one. It's if you have the talent and to step up the game all the time
So true. I'm a dutch certified nail artist and I've seen licensed artists and they're awful.. papers mean nothing when you can't make pretty nails
@@KA-vd9wm and make it a quality nail that stays on 😉
Ive been a LNT for many many and one more many years. I just took a CMP class through NASP. 4 days and hands on. Not something on line, but I have taken many online classes that have been sooooo helpful!! I love love love learning more! Now I can legally work on sad toes! Thats my fave! I love watching toe picking videos! I learn from you guys, because I have been doing nails for years and I still suck at it! I just have to keep trying! So thank you!
Hahaha I love watching the meticulous…(oh can’t remember) anyway toe picking! I love watching the outcome and cured toenail problems. I didn’t think there was anyone else out there that liked them too. There has to be, but I’d never read anyone say it “out loud” lol 😂😮
Actually, for Connecticut, as of January of 2021, you are now required to have a nail technician license to be able to practice and work 🤗 (newly licensed nail technician)
I just moved to CT and got my license immediately because I'm licensed in MA and wanted to beat the testing requirement 😅
@@samdagostino8730 yeah it's honestly pretty easy getting licensed in CT 🤫
@@nvazquez43 only for another two months 😅
@@samdagostino8730 how do you get it ???
@@nvazquez43 can you explain how to obtain it bc I live in CT have been practicing for 3 years and would like to go on to be licensed now.
I'm a licensed nail tech. I am also, according to my husband, certifiably insane. The two of these work well together in the industry,is my undying belief. 😂😂😂 On a more serious note, I agree that most schools in the US teach the bare minimum (enough to pass state boards) and that it is up to the tech to continue their education, which will be a lifelong commitment. So grateful to the YN team for providing opportunities for this ongoing education at very reasonable prices!
You are 100% correct!! I'm an esthetics educator. Every school I have worked at teaches for success on the state board exam. I believe for the cost of undergraduate education students should be prepared for the start of a successful career. Hell, a monkey can pass the state board exam with a little training 😂😂🐒. You should be able to perform all the basic services of your profession day 1 of your 1st job.
So funny! Your husband and mine could be friends!! lol!! Keep learning!
In my area you only have to pass the written exam. They no longer do the practical part of the exam in pa
Yes I agree yes we are insane lol to deal with the clients we deal with lol and yes I love the YN team for there energy (Habib) (Greg) and of course Tracy for attitude to deal with Habib so much fun watching. 😁🤣
I wish I could afford to be licensed or even certified. I have been doing mine and my daughter’s nails for several months now. I’m getting much better thanks to so many of these videos
you answered most of my questions in this video. I have been looking for schools that actual teach nails. I want to be taught how to do acrylic, gel and shellac. Most cosmetology schools lean more on hair . Then basic learning for makeup and very little to almost none in nails. I wish there were schools that teach only nails, makeup and lashes here in texas
Thank you for this but now you have "nail techs" that are NOT Licensed and are offering "classes" and charge like $500 and up and say hey you're certified what are your thoughts on this
I’ve seen this too I’m not trying to come at anyone hustle but if they don’t have their teachers license they shouldn’t really be offering classes especially not charging the same price as people in the industry who do have their teachers license.But hey people pay for it
yea i feel like this a huge issue.. like it’s messed up to take advantage of ppl trying to learn like that. they don’t know better, they prolly take these classes and go around telling people they’re licensed when really they have a piece of paper from another also non licensed nail tech. smh
As a student in nail school I so appreciate you saying picking up an acrylic brush is not easy because I was starting to doubt that if ever be good enough to start my business after getting licensed but you've encouraged me to keep going and not be so hard on myself. It is difficult
I have to say I was fortunate to have great instructors while i was in beauty school i did the Full Specialist program i would go morning and night, they were amazing taking us to trips to nail supply stores and nail salons to have a feel on salon business.
What school did you go to?
This video was very helpful I been trying to figure out weather to go to school or just get certified it’s best I do both I can’t wait to be successful in the nail industry
Where I live, nail techs are not required to be licensed or certified. Anyone can become a nail tech here. I personally feel it should be regulated 😖
What state are you in
@@blessedqueen9517 I don't live in the US
I’m so glad you guys brought this topic up. I live in MI and have been a licensed cosmetologist for 20 years. When I went to school we had to learn all the basics to pass state boards. For me I have tried to take advantage of all I learned in school with hair, nails, skin, ect so that I can make as much money as possible. Long story short, I got burned out and stopped doing it all together but still maintained my license. In the last 6 month or so I have been super interested in doing acrylic nails. What would you say to someone like me who has only dabbled with acrylic but wants to get more into it as a possible carrier? I have ordered powders, brushes the whole bit to practice as much as possible. Would you recommend I taking as many course’s and classes like the one YN’s offers when things open up since I already have a license or start over and go back to school?
There are many great nail techs that are not licensed or certified that have a great understanding with the preparements, safety and cleaniness. The internet has many great videos and websites that provides many information and contents. In fact, their are many techs that do and are better than license tech.
I just graduated. The only place was a cosmetology school. Took 9 months, $22,000, and a LOT of drama, and I learned NOTHING about nails which is why I went.
Yup...all that here to but I had to go to school part time. It took 18 months 😑
So glat its behind me.
So there wasn’t a school in your area that only offered a nail program? I have a school by me who offers a nail program, but I may enroll in the cosmology program just so I can do more with my license.
@@sylviam1196 nope they only offered cosmetology. The closest place for nail tech was over an hour and wasn't feasible with 2 kids and being a single mom 😭😭😭
@@meghunnlove I’m a single mother of four so I understand. When I first wanted to go to school two years ago the only school was over an hour from me. Now, there’s a school close by who offers just the nail program. But now, I think I want to do cosmology bc my kids are older so I can withstand the 1250 hours vs the 200 hrs for nails.
@@meghunnlove you can technically still do nails under your cosmology license though right? From what I’ve heard nail school doesn’t fully prepare us for the industry either. So continued education is a must regardless of which program?
I love listening to you guys. You're both hilarious and teach while doing it. You guys are pretty awesome 😎
I totally agree with this conversation.
I agree please get license knowledge is power you don't want to get fine, sued or the government coming for you for this I've seen it happen to a few people.
Great topic. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Certification is the education portion and you need your certification to acquire your license in your state. You should continue to be yearly certified in regards to safety, product and service knowledge.
Here in the province of Manitoba in Canada we have Licensing for hair, nails and skin. Hair and skin is highly regulated while nails has modest regulation. We pay to keep our license every 2 years.
I didn't know there was a difference between license or certificate 😳
You should be licensed! You need to know about nail diseases and how to keep your tools clean etc.
Yes, time for a Google search lol. Canada has certain provinces which do require licensing. Nova Scotia and New Brunswick for sure and I do believe there are others 😊
I'm going to check out a Nail Tech school tomorrow. 😊😊😊 It costs $4000 for a 300-hour course in the Tampa Bay area. I'm so excited and thankful I found your channel. I'm in my 50s but very hip and fun so this should be a new exciting journey for me. Thank you for all your wonderful videos! I'm too young to stay retired. On to my next career!!! 😂😊
I just checked into nail schools in my area. One school, nails only, 8000.00 for schooling to get licensed!!
Love you guys…Thanks for the info
I'm not sure about outside of California. But in California it doesn't matter if the client is paying or not. You may not perform services on a human in a salon period.
I actually know people who had to pay fines because they were practicing when state board walked in. Client even had a drivers license explaining that the person doing services was just making him look good for a party, no money was going to be exchanged.
State board said if said services were done from home it would have been a different story.
*bam* $1,000 fine plus...
Short story. Dont practice in public unless you're licensed.
This is such an interesting topic. In Puerto Rico they give nail techs a diploma.
In Canada it varies from province to province. Ontario you just have a certificate. I believe Nova Scotia you can get a licence. One or two of the western provinces have licensing
I also live in Ontario Canada and it's true we don't need a license, just certificates, that's why I chose to get several certificates like Acrylic, Gel, advanced art, one-stroke, etc...
@@viviangrandy9634 I too have several certificates in gel and acrylics and waxing. I've been doing nails for 30 plus years. They had limited courses in my day. The nail industry was so different in my day. You never shared ideas and where you purchases products from. I love how it has evolved
That is the f***ing truth! I felt rushed through school only learning the very basics of how to try to achieve to make a gel or acrylic nail and so afraid / nervous /anxious to try to take my license test let alone trying to get a job!!
I actually had so much stress going through the school that I did which I felt were more interested in making money from my tuition & having a required amount of their products sold not to mention not feeling like I had enough training that I lost 100 lbs of weight and looked sickly!
Hello 👋🏼 Canadian here.
Just updating you.
In British Columbia you don’t need a license but you must be a fully trained nail tech or apprenticeship under a licensed nail tech. In the rest of Canada you must be fully trained AND be fully licensed to provide services. I’m finishing up my Full License Nail Tech course but I must be able to pass our province’s cosmetology associations test in order to be able to apply for your license to be able to accept money for our services. Just clearing this up.
Hey do you know what are the requirements in canada to give training certificates to others
I love your videos there so funny it makes my day.😊
I live in Australia syndey I have studied nail technology in a government collage here we call it a trade license but you also need to be registered with your local council in your state and area. So this information given is partly correct when it comes to online training here in Australia!!
Yes I agree with u guys and that's so so true I have learn on my Own , how to do nails buy watching CZcams I'm not that confident in Amdoing a french tip nail that's my favorite nail tip why I dont know but I all ways love it , I know I need lots more practice
Can you give me advice ??? I know how to do gel polish... do i need to do any course ?? I can learn on my own.. i love it... but need advice
Helpful much needed info great stuff
Omg. The jeans discussion. 😂
Just passing by 😁 I’ll be taking my nail tech classes in April ❤️ Pray for me 😇
They start talking about the topic at 3:43
Literally looking forward to the beginning commentary as much as the content 😂😂.
Thanks for the biz talk 🤗🤗
I am sorry to say - Not all of that information is true. In Canada, we have both, Certified and Licensed.
In Alberta, Nail Techs are Certified. There are 2 types of Certification: Government Certified or Beauty Supply - Nail manufacture Certified.
Government means you went to a school that their academic program was approved by the government, the government feels after this schooling you can work in that profession. Certification that way allows you to walk into any beauty supply company and buy nail products, any brand.
Beauty Supply or Nail Manufacture means you learned right from the nail brand. These can be anything from a 2 day class to 6, 8, or 12 week classes, where you met with an instructor who uses that product, and the supplier deem good enough to teach, once a week for your course duration. This kind can only buy from that suppler, another brand and company does not have to recognize their training. Some salons may hire you, but usually ones in small town as they know there is no local schooling. In larger cites, usually only non standard salons as they don't care about standards, at all.
For both kinds of Certification there is No board exams, and No fees associated with your certification, not at grad, and not yearly. Not ever...
Now, In Nova Scotia Nail Techs are Licensed. They had to go to a school where the Government approved their program. At programs end, you take final exams, if you pass you get your License. There are fees for the exam, and the License. You will also pay a yearly fee to keep active in the industry, you must also take 1 course per year to continue your education. This can be a Nail course or a Business course that is applicable to your industry.
Each Province in Canada is different, and what is allowed in one province does not carry over to another, so being certified in Alberta, does not allow you to practice in Nova Scotia. If you want to practice in Nova Scotia, you will need to show all your education, work experience, and have recommendation that validate you. They may grandfather you in, allowing you to just pays the required fees and start working. Or they may feel you do not have enough education and or experience and you must go to one of their schools, and restart.
I hope that all made sense, and clears it up - for Canadians anyway
Thank you for the info! We are referring to the US, specifically California as that is where we are based.
The reason I posted my comment was because you had mentioned Canada does.... or its like this in Canada. So, I thought I would just clear it up a bit, as most people do not know that it changes by the province your in. Just like you guys vary by state. :)
Guys, I told you before, in CT you NOW have to be Licensed!!!!!! As of 2021
Certified- gaining knowledge and information, but you cannot practice for money/career.
License- actual practicing of nails to make money.
This helped cuz I did not want to listen to them 😂
So you can still do clients nails but not charge them if you’re certified. So can you do nails while going to school for your license and only take donations?
Any LA/OC schools you would recommend to get licensed?
I just got my certificate yesterday. I’m so Confident in it. I’m going to school for business Administration(that’s my main passion) but I want to expand my talents a lil more with a side quest
This is true, I went to Milan institute and they just showed us the basic and sanitation/disinfect and basically I would basically be more on CZcams and Pinterest
It’s funny though bc once you go to the state you become “certified”. “Licensing” means that you own a business. But still true, you have to go to the state.
Great video! Initially I was looking for one that breaks down the differences between nail manicurist vs advanced manicurist. Unfamiliar with other states requirements here in Ohio prospects need 200 hours for the nail manicurist program whereas the advanced manicurist program requirement is an additional 100 hours. It's my understanding that the 200 hour course permits technicians to work ONLY in the salons while the advance manicurist allows the tech to become an instructor, manager, etc. Can you post another video to cover the differences? I'm also curious to know if an advanced manicurist course is really needed when a nail tech already has an associate or bachelor's degrees in business management.
Then why am I taking these online certifications classes, practicing what they give you to do. Uploading homework etc. If I cannot do other peoples nails with what I learn? I pay for these classes. Admittedly, I get some classes very much on sale, some classes are doubled, some are out of my reach so I wait to see if they will ever lower their price but I pay for them nonetheless. I enjoy your classes so much! Thank you so much for offering these videos! Actually, your gel videos have gotten me to finally try your gel. Synergy Gel? I just got my order during the last its…time for sale! 😂😂 those videos crack me up! Anyway, thanks again ❤
Are you guys planning to do a licensure online program?
Great video!
it's so fcking frustrating the fact that i have to go to fcking school, spend 6k on fcking 300h of classes of something that I ALREADY HAVE ACCESS TO FOR FREE ONLINEA JUST BECAUSE THOSE ARE THE ONLY PLACES RECOGNIZE BY THE BOARD OF NJ... and on top of that i have to spend on certifications that i also have access to online for free and also spend more money on material and marketing to reach the customers I need to survive and actually live out of the skill i learned.... but how in the fcking world are we (poor people) going to get up eveeeeer if WE DONT HAVE THE MONEY TO GET ANY OF THESE IN THE FIRST PLACE its insane. I'm so fcking tired of looking for side job that do not imply me having THE PREVELEGE OF HAVING EXTRA MONEY TO SPEND. WOULD BE GREAT IF THE BOARD JUST GET YOU TESTED ON YOUR SKIL THAT'S FCKING IIIIIT....
Thanks for sharing. We hope you enjoyed this biz talk.
I got a certification from a nail school that I physically went to 3 days a week for two months and got a certification. That school is still licensed around and operational. am I able to transfer it to a license or would I have to do some of it or all of it over again. When I went to school licensing was not require in the 90.
We would recommend contacting your state board and the school about this as different states rules could vary.
Hi I love you fancy nail and I have been watching your videos for the last months and you guys are so great. Is there a Young Nails Inc class any where in NYC. I really want to learn please advise
Please email ray@youngnails.com or check out the LEARN tab on the top left of our website for more information on our upcoming zoom classes. Must be 18+ for classes.
Thanks 😊
they don’t start talking about licensing 3:36
Drove me insane waiting
What schools in LA county do you recommend ? I’m looking but it’s hard
I am from South Africa and I am certified with another company. I love your products and watch all your video’s. I have been doing nails for more than 2 years.
Is it possible to purchase YN products because I am certified but not licensed because it’s not a requirement here?
I’m outside the US and I don’t *need* to be licensed OR certified 😳 Other provinces require certification, but not mine. If I’m running a business I have to pass a health unit inspection, that’s it. Which is kind of crazy when you think about it but that’s what it is. That said, I want certification. I want to make myself more marketable. On that note, are there any plans for an OWC in Ontario, Canada when travelling is a thing again? Lol
Hello I am from Newfoundland and doing a online program with TAOND i be learning from you guys I be buying your supplies . Love watching your videos.
There's online course to get certified? Which one is the best one? I'm looking for one I'm a stay at home mom. And need help in finding thr best one if there is one.
Our classes (online and in person) are for continuing education only, not for certification. We would recommend checking with your local state board or licensing/certification department to make sure online classes are accepted and they may be able to guide you further in choosing what is best for you.
Hi guys where i can go to get my license i live in California and place i know they offer cosmetology license and I want just manicure pedicure and nails license i have to take the whole cosmetology to get nail license??
The problem I am having is that where we live both cosmetology schools do not offer the manicurist program. TDLR wants you to choose one of their listed schools in Texas which are way out of our area so they don't make it easy for you to get a license in that field. It should be offered at every cosmetology school.
I’m in Australia 🇦🇺 currently 1/2way through getting my certificate 3 then applying for my license so i can legally run my home salon.
In saying that though.... legally you don’t need a certificate in nail Technology in Australia to get a license... which is bad!
I agree (Aussie here too). Licencing is about regulation of an industry and here, you only have to meet local government requirements to start a business from home regardless of what it is. Look up PNTA www.pnta.com.au they have memberships and resources for Aussie techs.
Can you guys talk about SDS’s is in the states?
I didn’t watch the whole video yet 😅 but what if I wanted to sell press ons that I have designed myself from home? Do I still need to be licensed or certified?
You would need to check with your local state board about those regulations.
What about companies like jamberry or color street nail wraps . And as someone who has thought about selling the wraps because I love wraps especially the color Street gel wraps . I was wondering will I get in trouble for selling them because they do explain how to put them on ? But I do mine and she does hers . So no one is doing anyone’s but their own .
You have to be Licensed in CT as of 2021!!
If my state only offers cosmology programs then does that automatically make me a “licensed nail tech”? Luckily in my area I have the opportunity to either enroll in cosmology or an actual nail tech program. I think I want to do cosmology so I can add my services to my beauty resume.
We would recommend confirming the license with your local state board, but generally speaking, a cosmetologist is trained in hair, skin and nails.
And! Not judging, but I'm not sure how some of the online certifications work out. The CNP was A LOT of work and we stayed at the hotel. Went home tom take the test. Then I see classes offered by some peeps from youtube for about the same price!! How do they know that we know what we are doing? I cant pronounce half of what I learned, but I can treat it!
I have a question. Iv been watching a person that is a has her own business in the house (in the uk). How do you go about doing that? She is a real nail tech.
I wanna get my license so bad ... but the city where I’m from I can’t find a school 😭I only found a certification online school ughh
Aunque el certificado en México obtener la licencia está en $500dlls algo más barato q en Estados unidos
good info.
Can u help me out please, im a uk accredited nail tech, do I still need to train to get a license to work in America?
It would depend on what state you would be working in. Every state has different regulations, so we would recommend contacting the State Board of Cosmetology where you will be working to get exact info on their requirements.
@YoungNailsInc ah thanks!!! I had no idea where to start so that's really helpful, I appreciate you xxx
I am an apprentice currently studying for state board exam with Milady text book. Can you recommend any online programs or apps to use to pass the state board in a faster and more efficient way than just reading the book (and making flash cards)? Reading is difficult for me. Any tips appreciated. Thank you!
Every exam varies from state to state, so we don't have specific info to give you. However, we would recommend posting your question in our YN Facebook Community. We have techs from all over that may be able to give you more info on your specific test.
In Trinidad where I do nails I don’t need any liscenced or certificate to do nails I just learnt from CZcams and I started my business
Yeah toronto is totally different, education is so limitless and easy. Anything your want to do you just go get certified! Your certificate is your license and with that you can start your own business just like that. It makes being tour own boss little bit more easier! But the nail schools here are so very basic the things I do I learn from watching you guys and many other popular nail techs in the states. Also with how things are here you have certified nail techs who turn teaching into a business but they literally just take your money and teach you nothing ! This has happened to me so I paid double just to learn nails because I then had to take myself to a reputable place for training. So you have to be mindful of who you go to for training and who is looking out for your best interest because many "teachers" are not willing to pass the torch to the next generation! They will take your money and not really teach you they will watch you fail because they dont want you to be the competition
Can you guys talk about men in nail industry? Thinking about switching careers but worried about what people will think of me 🥺
thanks for the suggestion, we will add it to our list
Those pants aren't that bad 🧐 I expected something a little more like my neighbor had on this morning, bright shapes, looked pleated definitely MC Hammer pants! If I remember correctly that style pant rides high-belly button high
As of 2014 I graduated. I have had so much go on after I graduated that I never went to get licensed. And now I’m scared because I don’t know how or what to use to study now since it has been so long since I graduated. But doing nails has always been a dream for me and I love doing nails. Do you know how I would get the information so that I can take the test now. I mean I remember from when I was in school but stuff has had to of changed a little since I graduated.
In school now, all you need is to study that midlady nail technology book, state board exam procedures.
@@SrsLe33 ok awesome thank you for letting me know
Do you need to have a high school diploma to get your license? In los angeles. Can you guys do a Q&A?
Look at schools in your area. See if they offer high-school with the program. Some schools do. It really depends on the school and state.
Can you take boards with certificates
Is there a specific school that u can recommend? Or advice ?
We recommend asking in our Facebook group for schools in your area.
