VISIONS HAIR SALON
HAS BEEN MAKING WELLINGTON BEAUTIFUL FOR By M. Dennis Taylor
For 30 years, Visions Hair Salon has been making Wellington residents beautiful with satisfying hairstyling capabilities that have kept the hair of local men and women of every age looking its very best. Owner Tom Monticello grew up in the industry at his father’s barber shop in New Jersey. After extensive training, he moved to Wellington and opened Visions Hair Salon in 1988. While the shop has expanded — featuring 32 staff members today — it remains in the same shopping plaza where he first opened his doors and began to watch the community grow. “We really care about satisfaction, and that attitude toward customer satisfaction is what keeps the people coming back,” said Monticello, who noted that many other salons have come and gone during his tenure. “For many salons, 10 or 20 years is a very long time. We have clients and employees who have been with us almost that long.” Visions Hair Salon offers its clients a wide array of services. “We handle every aspect of modern hair design, including color work, cutting and styling, conditioning, hair extensions, specialized treatments and much more, but we never got into nail and spa treatments — we specialize in hair,” Monticello said, explaining that

the salon also uses and supplies the best hair care products. “It’s all about the client’s satisfaction. We use the finest, internationally known products.” Monticello is proud that his facility has been a Nick Arroyo Ambassador Salon for the past nine years. A well-known celebrity stylist with 30-
plus years in the industry, Arrojo, who is based in New York City, was a pioneer of his own signature, razor-cutting, precision-based hairstyling technique that today is practiced worldwide because it offers versatility for stylists and beautiful, wearable styles for clients.
