Dreams started out owning a salon in the Bronx and did a short stint in Alaska before permanently settling in Northern Virginia, according to the salon's website. Through these different experiences, she learned to work with a diverse clientele, manage with limited resources and even master the military crew cut.

In her new business, her services go far beyond simply giving a haircut. She encourages "her clients to eat healthier, use products that encourage healthier hair and scalps and reducing the desire to partake in the newest unhealthy 'fads' for hair."
