    “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!

    Karen, you are so helpful and I can tell how much you care about your clients and about us. My fave thing you do is after you explain something, you very quietly say, " 'kay?" It's so sweet bc it's like you're directly talking to me and want to make sure I understand. 😘

    Ah my local salon seems to use 100 grit a lot for shaping acrylics and stuff, but when it came to removal time they used the same hand file on my natural nails to shape and also sort of buff the top before applying strengthener. As a result, my thumb nails especially seem to have sort of split in places. It did do a good job at filing down the length and getting a good shape on the natural nail but I did have more issues on the first removal perhaps where the tips of my nails were breaking a lot or had lots of chipping. Using more cuticle oil now

  • @karenmcdoanld8805
    @karenmcdoanld8805 2 роки тому

    To remove the natural nail shine from the nail you should use a 240-grit file. I usually take off more than i should but if that 240-grit will work that would be great! Thank you, Karen

    • @youngnailsinc
      @youngnailsinc  2 роки тому +1

      We use our 150 grit sanding band to remove shine from the natural nails. We use a low speed of 3,000-5,000 rpms and very light pressure.

    • @youngnailsinc
      @youngnailsinc  2 роки тому +6

      We recommend having one file designated as your “prep file.” This would be a file that has not been used on a person, but only used for prepping new files & bits. Depending on your state board, you may be able to store this file and continue to use it for prepping your files until it is worn out.

    Had a manicure with short french style last night and I got 7 cuts on 6 fingers some at the cuticle on top and some at the corners of the nail where the underskin meets it. All the sides of the nails where the nail grows out at the corners were filed when she was filing and so those area are either cut or raw and when she put the acrylic tips on those nails; they were glues down to the skin including those cut areas. My fingers are sensitive and painful. Putting water on my hands burn and continues burning for a while after it dries. I don't want to soak them off with Pure acetone because the cuts are there. What can I do to pull the crazy glue away from the skin under the nails? Help?!

    • @youngnailsinc
      @youngnailsinc  Рік тому

      Unfortunately it sounds like the tech didn't remove the sharp edges of the file before using it on you. The biggest concern with getting cut would be to make sure they don't get infected. If the cuts don't seem to heal properly, we would recommend consulting with your healthcare provider. In the mean time, you may want to use an over the counter antibacterial product on them (some products have numbing agents that can help with the pain/sensitivity). Keep the skin hydrated with cuticle oil and this can also help break the bond between the glue and the skin. You can also try using acetone on a cotton swab to try to remove some of the glue. This way you can keep it away from the cuts.

    Is there a chair that is the most comfortable for the client? Bc that's the hardest part for me, they lean back in the chair and I can't grab their hand ✋ properly. I struggle with them . I need to get a new client chair.

    • @youngnailsinc
      @youngnailsinc  2 роки тому +1

      Choosing a technician chair or client chair is going to be different for every technician since we all have different size/shape/height of tables. If you are concerned about your client moving or leaning back, you may want to look for a chair that does not have wheels or tilts back. Feel free to post this question to our Facebook Community group and there may be other technicians that can show you what chairs work for them in your same situation.

    • @youngnailsinc
      @youngnailsinc  Рік тому

      You can use your wrist, but you just want to make sure you aren't OVER using it. If the only motion you are using is from the wrist, you will wear out your wrist very quickly. Use more of your elbow for the back and forth motion.
