We first saw Young Nails president Greg Salo do these “stiletto” nails at a trade show earlier this year. Ever since, we’ve been trying to schedule a time when he could do them for a NAILS cover. So why did it take so long? Well, he’s been busy.
“The spring and fall are really intense,” says Greg, who spends any free time golfing and skiing “Whether it’s a show, a class, or a distributor event, I’m usually on the road every weekend from the end of January until July, and then again from the end of September until Thanksgiving. I just looked at this year’s calendar and I’ve worked 25 weeks out of state.”
That’s a lot of travel, even for someone in charge of a growing company. After nine years of building the business with his mom, Greg’s brother Habib stepped in to help structure the operation of the company. “This gave me the opportunity to focus on what I love most – nails! Over the last seven years, we’ve all been spending more time to keep the business growing. I’m really blessed that I can spend every day with my mom, my brother, and now my dad too.”
