*A hair salon van for Mississauga, with a hot water shampoo bowl and a styling chair that work the same at a City Centre curb or a suburban driveway.* # Mobile salon vans for Mississauga ProVanWorks builds mobile salon vans at our Langley, BC, shop for stylists, nail technicians and lash artists in Mississauga. The city runs from the Lake Ontario shore at Port Credit up past Pearson airport, so one working day can move from condo towers to suburban driveways to an office park, and the van has to suit all three. ## What does Mississauga weather ask of a salon van? Mississauga sits on Lake Ontario, and the lake softens the coldest nights along the shore in Port Credit and Clarkson. Inland, in Meadowvale and Churchill Meadows, winter can feel a few degrees colder. Across the whole city, winter is a cycle of snow, slush and refreeze, and the 401, the 403, the 410 and the QEW are heavily salted. A ProVanWorks salon van for Mississauga has insulation in the walls, roof and floor, much thicker than the roughly 16 mm (5/8 inch) used for Lower Mainland vans. Heat comes from a small diesel, gas or electric heater under the seat, through pipes in the floor and walls and heat exchangers around the room, on a thermostat. The heater keeps running with the engine off, so a client reclined at the shampoo bowl stays warm while the van is parked. The waterproof floor wipes dry when slush comes in. Summers here are humid, and a hair van with a dryer and a flat iron running heats up quickly. The front fan runs the air conditioning, and the back fan helps clear moisture after a wash. ## Where do mobile salons find clients in Mississauga? Around Square One and City Centre, clients live in high-rise condos and the van works from the curb or a visitor area. In Streetsville, Erin Mills, Meadowvale and Lisgar, most homes have a driveway, which makes a regular house-call route simpler. The business parks near Pearson and along the 401 corridor bring office workers who would rather book a cut or a manicure in the parking lot than lose an evening. Mississauga also has many banquet halls and wedding venues, and a salon van parked outside can handle hair for the wedding party on the morning of the event. Seniors' residences and new parents at home are steady clients too. Rules for street parking and for setting up on private lots vary, so check with the City of Mississauga, and with the property owner, before you plan regular stops. ## What water and power setup suits a Mississauga salon van? A hair van in Mississauga needs a shampoo bowl with running hot water and a separate hand-wash sink, both draining to a grey water tank. The fresh water reservoir and grey tank are sized for each build: tell us how many washes you do in a day and whether you can refill between clients. The [hair salon van](/mobile-salon-vans/hair-salon-van/) page shows the layout. Hair dryers and hot tools draw the most power in a salon, so a hair van usually has high-amp inverters and chargers (an add-on) and a battery bank sized for your tools. The batteries charge at Level 2 EV chargers through a J1772 inlet, which are common at Mississauga plazas and office parks, or from shore power through the 50 A inlet (30 A also available) or the 20 A, 120 V inlet. A generator and solar panels are available as add-ons for long event days. ## What rules apply to a mobile salon in Mississauga? Ontario regulates "personal service settings", and Mississauga is served by Peel Public Health. Check with Peel Public Health about what applies to a mobile salon before you book clients, and with your licensing body if your service needs one. ## How does a salon van travel from Langley to Mississauga? Mississauga is more than 4,000 km from the ProVanWorks shop by road, across the Prairies and Northern Ontario before the last stretch into the GTA. Delivery is quoted per build. ProVanWorks can drive the van to you or ship it on a vehicle transport carrier, or you can pick it up in Langley. The [delivery across Canada](/delivery-across-canada/) page explains each option. ## Frequently asked questions ### Can I choose a ready-designed salon van for Mississauga? Yes. You can pick one of ProVanWorks' already designed systems and change what you need, or have the van built to your own specifications. Either way the water, power and insulation are set for how you work in Mississauga. See all our [mobile salon vans](/mobile-salon-vans/). ### Should a Mississauga stylist consider a trailer instead? If you work mostly at one site for the day, such as a banquet hall or a weekend market, a [mobile beauty salon trailer](/custom-work-trailers/beauty-salon-trailer/) is worth comparing. For several house calls a day, a van is simpler to move and park. ### How do I get a price for a salon van delivered to Mississauga?
