10 Facts About Your Nails
Here at Visions Hair and Nail Salon we take the health of your hair and nails seriously. Below are some facts that you may find interesting about your nails.
1. Nail problems make up about 10% of all dermatological conditions.
2. Fingernails grow faster than toenails – especially on your dominant hand. On average, fingernails grow 3.5mm per month and toenails grow 1.6mm per month.
3. Nail growth rates depend on age, time of year, activity level and heredity.
4. Women’s nails grow more slowly than men’s.
5. Nail growth is affected by disease, nutrition, medications, trauma, chronic illness, fever and aging process.
6. Changes in your nails, such as discoloration or thickening, can signal health problems such as liver and kidney diseases, heart and lung conditions, anemia and diabetes.
7. Although rare, melanomas can grow under the nail. They can be mistaken for an injury, so you should consult with your dermatologist if a dark or discolored spot appears and does not go away within a normal amount of time.
8. Nails grow more rapidly in the summer.
9. Fungal infections cause about half of all nail disorders. This is especially prominent in toenails, because they are confined to a dark, moist environment.
10. Symptoms that possibly signal nail problems include a change in color, shape, thickness, and swelling of the skin around the nails.
The combined years of experience at Visions is like no other in the Valley. Friendly enviornment. Kate E.
Experience and Friendly
Maria has been my stylist for over twenty-five years. She is a true professional! My hair is very difficult to style, and Maria has been fabulous at helping me find what works well for me. The entire salon is friendly, and I’ve been totally pleased with the services I’ve used (hair, nails, waxing)! Catherine C.

I have been going to Maria at Visions for over 30 years. I would never trade her excellence and experience for any other salon. I always get the perfect cut, the perfect color and feel like I am home when I walk through the door. The Visions staff is friendly and knowledgeable and treats you like family.
Maria has a knack for knowing exactly what to do with your type of hair and what looks best on you. She has trained her staff to know also. Whether it’s a pedi, mani, or a do-over, Visions is the place you can trust to get
only quality service. A gem in Allentown! Donna V.

I have been to the salon now several times and it’s a very nice salon to go to. Nice ladies work here and I’m always satisfied with my hair and my nails. My daughter also works here her name is Amy. She is great at what she does. Everybody there is very professional and they all have wonderful personalities. You can get your hair cut and your nails done while sipping on a nice glass of wine or having a hot cup of tea or coffee. I recommend Visions to every one.
