Hi I’m not sure what state you’re in but in Texas Manicurist program is $6000 and FAFSA pays almost all of it. The rest can be a loan or scholarship. Good Luck🌹
@@prilofprilzpreciousgemz2374 hi! Thank you. I’m in Florida, unfortunately because the program is so short fafsa won’t cover any of it. Yes, same, it’s about $6,000 here as well.
This is so great! Even if someone is seasoned, it’s a great refresher. For people like me who’s a hobbyist, this will be great to make sure I’m doing things correctly for myself! Thank you! 👍🏻👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I bought everything to start doing my own nails n I have been holding off because I feel so intimidated by all the steps and the tools . Thanks so much for the in depth explanation it was very veryyyy helpful n I feel more confident as far as the first step of doing my own nail . Thanks so much . I love the way it was explained.
I'm starting my nail journey now at 34 and the questions I've been asking myself alot the last couple of weeks are "what if I started 2 or 3 years ago and am I to old to start a career in nails now?"
Never too old. I'm 42 and saving for school. I do my nails and a couple of friends' nails. I learn from Young Nails every day. I'm better than the majority of actual licensed techs in my area.
Here’s a QUESTION/tip that might be helpful to reiterate: why is it important for the natural nails to be dry before starting prep? It still confuses me, because we also want to keep our nails moisturized (I.e.: using cuticle oil) to prevent our nails and skin from drying out/splitting. Love LOVE LOVE the idea of this series! So well articulated, Karen! Context is key! Once you understand the “why”, it really helps people to truly grasp the purpose of each step and technique! I’ve learned so much from this channel already!
I totally understand what you're asking, and for me, who is only an enthusiast, we want the nails cleansed/dehydrated to maximize proper adhesion. The product won't stick to a slick surface if that makes sense. Young Nails, correct me if I'm wrong.
We do normally want to keep our nails hydrated, but in order for product to adhere to the nail plate, we do need to remove the surface oils. These oils create a barrier and don't allow the product to bond to the nail cells. After any service, the product has bonded to the nail and we replenish the moisture by applying cuticle oil.
LOVE this series already 😍 informational, fun and easy to comprehend! YN nail enthusiast here 😊 I've learned everything from YN videos, love doing my nails 💅 😊 Thank you so much! ❤ my YN glitter collection is growing fast, Melissa got me hooked on dimensional nails! 😂 Love YN's teaching style, it's always empowering and well explained. 👨🎓 I cant wait to see more! 💜🦄
I love this video sooo much! I do very well with my prep because of all the people at young nails, but this video will really help newbies getting in to the game. Jorge is adorable! ❤
I'm sure that this series will be a great success!! What a great idea! And thanks for being the guinea pig Jorge!! 😂👏🏼👏🏼😍 Can't wait to see where this goes. Also, I hope you realize what a privileged position you're in, to be learning from some of the Best in the industry -Karen, Tracey, Greg... wow 😍
Can you prep with just a cuticle pusher and regular nail file? I prepped really good with e file and bond but my clients have at least one nail that pops off
If you don't have an efile, you can use a hand file as an alternative. However, the hand file may not get all the way in to the cuticle area like the efile can to fully prep, remove protein growth and shine from the nail surface. We highly recommend using the efile with a mandrel/medium sanding band or diamond cuticle bits to prep.
When putting on enhancements, we do not recommend using a cuticle remover as this can add chemicals/oils to the nail plate that can inhibit adhesion. If you are doing a traditional (non gel) manicure without an efile, you may want to use a cuticle remover for this service.
We push back the cuticles with our magic wand tool, remove shine from the nails with our e-file, mandrel and sanding band at 3,000-5,000 rpms with light pressure, cleanse with swipe and then apply protein bond.

Cleaning your tools, there was someone who made my aunties nails get infected. It's so important I'm not a professional but I'm concerned for her; she no longer goes to her nail salon.

Even if i am very gentle when i push back by cuticlues it hurra and if i push i would bleed. Like literally my skin is gwint into nail , i dont have this thick and high skon bulk over the nails bed, i just have it completely flat 😮 how to move this ?
Pushing back your cuticles should not be painful and they definitely should not be bleeding. Make sure you are using a rounded cuticle pusher (like our Magic Wand) and only using gentle pressure. You should only be using enough pressure to loosen the eponychium from the nail. This will how the dry white cuticle/protein growth left on the nail. This protein growth is what should be cleaned off with the cuticle pusher or even a buffer can sometimes remove it. If you are just doing a natural nail manicure, you can use a cuticle softener to help loosen the cuticle or if you are doing enhancements, you can use the efile with a medium sanding band or diamond cuticle bit.
So different doing it than watching it. Good job "Baby Jorge"! 😊 Now, the scariest part... the E-File! Twee twee twee twee (horror movie sound effect 😂) I'm sure you'll handle this like a pro. ♥️
I love Karen’s education style. She is so thorough in her explanations, and the visuals…so good. Thank you! Can’t wait to see more.
Jorge is so natural on film. He's awesome
I love your new cut Karen!
I do nails as a hobby - don’t take on clients as I don’t have a license. If nail school wasn’t so expensive I’d go for it. This is amazing!
Same

@@simple_naildesigns Is that a Florida thing? Because Maryland does it and Texas. Or is that the rule of the school you applied too?
@@prilofprilzpreciousgemz2374 I asked a few schools and they all said the same - may very well be a Florida thing.
Omg so obsessed to see Jorge ✨🫶🏼✨
Good to see Jorge, I hope he continues to appear in more videos Jorge!!
This is so great! Even if someone is seasoned, it’s a great refresher. For people like me who’s a hobbyist, this will be great to make sure I’m doing things correctly for myself! Thank you! 👍🏻👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻
As someone NEW - this is great. More more more from beginning to end.
Thank you for the feedback!
Hooray for Jorge!!! 👏👏👏

Omg i needed this info sooooo bad plz keep this series 🥰
I am really interested in this series. I just started doing my own nails a few months ago and this will be so helpful.
I love the new hair cut! Looks amazing. Look forward to more Jorge tutorials.

I went to beauty school with people older than you and younger❤️you can do it❤
You’re not alone! I’m 39 and I’ve gone back and forth as to going to school for my nail license. And of course school is expensive in my area 😢
Never too old!😊

Lol.. Thank u jorge.. Yr brave.. Can't wait👍
😁
Jorge you are such e great guy 😊 thank you for the video
Thanks appreciate it!
I started during Covid then stopped. Wish I had never stopped. Maybe this video is a sign for me to start again
I started at about the same time. Trust me you will get where you want to be never stop❤️❤️❤️even if you take a break never stop❤️
I feel this. Definitely start back love. I feel that nails are my true passion
I assure you that you will not stop, the only obsession will be that every week you will change the design on your nails. 😅
My roommate hates the smell, which is another reason I haven't started back. We are moving and it will be easier for me to start again.
They just came out with the the low odor acrylic system, the signs are signing @@tamikamckinney7036
Excited for this series!
Ha! Baby Jorge got me 😂
Karen is so smart!
She's one of the best! We hope this video on the first step to nail prep was helpful for you.
Great video , love you hair and the colour :) and your nails still look beautiful
Ope! Show how you accidentally flood the cuticle and the best way to clean it up!
I love this video sooo much! I do very well with my prep because of all the people at young nails, but this video will really help newbies getting in to the game. Jorge is adorable! ❤
Love this!!!
Thank you! We hope you learned something new from this video on prepping the nail.
Please I’d like to see more on application and how to crest that clean cuticle effect
Thank you for the feedback. We will let the team know.
I'm sure that this series will be a great success!! What a great idea! And thanks for being the guinea pig Jorge!! 😂👏🏼👏🏼😍 Can't wait to see where this goes. Also, I hope you realize what a privileged position you're in, to be learning from some of the Best in the industry -Karen, Tracey, Greg... wow 😍
Jorge should learn a basic manicure start to finish. I feel like that’s nails 101 according to school books and such.
Thank you 🙏🏽
This is such a great instructional video!
OMG! It’s Jorge! 😮 Maybe you “Baby Jorge” will get inspiration to make sure you take care of your nails and stops biting them?🤷🏽♀️
I hope not, I love biting my nails 🤣 jk jk

Great video thank you Karen for in depth explanation. My question: is a chemical cuticle remover necessary for nail prep or when is it necessary?
When putting on enhancements, we do not recommend using a cuticle remover as this can add chemicals/oils to the nail plate that can inhibit adhesion. If you are doing a traditional (non gel) manicure without an efile, you may want to use a cuticle remover for this service.
I really wanna see the prep for gel nail extension ,thank u!
We prep the same way for acrylic as for gel.
Thank you!
No problem!
Didn’t we all start that way? We were brand new and then we weren’t.
#teamdimples
We’ll see if you go from Jorge to Greg 😆😆
😂
I think I can do it lol
We'll all have to wait and see!

Thanks for sharing!! We hope you enjoyed this video on the first step to nail prep.
