Mobile Hair Salons: Here to Stay
Brick and mortar salons have long been the industry standard. But increasingly, beauticians and salon stylists have been starting to get mobile, visiting clients in their homes and offices.
The disadvantage in travelling to the client lies in having to lug around your equipment and in having to make due with your client’s environment and sitting arrangements.
What if you, as a salon professional, didn’t have to compromise? What if you could bring your salon along with you? That’s the driving force behind mobile hair salons.

Hear From Our Customers: Duwa Mobile Salon
Wanting to build a new and unique experience for customers, Duwa Mobile Salon is proud of their ability to customize their experience based on each customer.
The Rise of Mobile Salons
Originally embraced by innovative salon owners a few years ago and rising in popularity today, mobile salons offer the flexibility to go where the client base is without having to leave behind your salon’s furniture or tools.
Salon owners are using various mobile hair salon vehicles, including trailers and vans, to create salon spaces on wheels. Using a vehicle to create a salon may mean size is limited, but creativity is not.
Small commercial vans, travel trailers and buses have all been successfully converted to mobile salons. Airstream aluminum trailers are especially popular for beauty salon conversions for their vintage appeal and retro charm.
Mobile Hair Salon Equipment
If you're envisioning a retro-style mobile hair salon for your business, some of Standish’s vintage-inspired pieces, like the Duke or Draper salon shuttles, would be perfectly suited for this theme.
For a more modern and sleek mobile salon, incorporate our more contemporary-style mobile salon equipment like the Kaemark Westfall Shampoo Chair.
Looking for a salon cart with optimal value, and minimal floor space? The Savvy Utility Cart is great for storing your mobile hair salon accessories.
