About

Joi Dreams Salon is run by its owner, Joi Dreams. Before opening the salon in 2009, she styled hair at several Old Town Alexandria businesses. In 2017 the salon added spa services to its hair offerings.

The salon is on Mount Vernon Avenue and is open Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday, closed Wednesday and Sunday. Free parking is available, with two hours allowed along Mount Vernon Avenue and longer on nearby side streets, and Wi-Fi is available for clients. Appointments are booked online, and first-time clients are asked to start with a consultation, which can be held by Zoom or in person. Pricing reflects the time a service takes, so longer or thicker hair can raise the cost. Adult clients are shampooed and conditioned during the visit, while small children sometimes are not, by choice.

Services cover women's and men's haircuts, color, highlights and balayage, braids and twists, locs, sewn-in extensions and their removal or repair, relaxers, conditioning and specialized treatments, facials and waxing. The salon also runs hair and skin classes of 30, 60 or 90 minutes, which leave time for questions, technique and recommendations for hair and skin concerns. The signature Tuel Moisture Facial includes a deep cleanse, an exfoliating mask, extractions, lymphatic massage, a deep cleansing mask and a signature moisturizer.

Color and relaxer services need a finish style such as a blow dry, roller set or finger wave. Prescription shampoo and ointment can be brought in if the salon is told ahead of time. Guests who are not booked for a service may not accompany a client, unless the companion is a nurse. Late arrivals may need to reschedule depending on the service and the closing time. Shop sales are non-refundable and cannot be exchanged.

Services are tailored to each client's hair and goals, and the salon uses only products it has vetted.
