*A nail salon van for Greater Moncton, with the pedicure basin beside the reservoir and a heated floor for clients who arrive in wet winter boots.* # Mobile salon vans for Moncton, Dieppe and Riverview ProVanWorks builds mobile salon vans in Langley, BC, and delivers them to nail technicians, stylists and lash artists in Moncton, Dieppe and Riverview. Greater Moncton is a bilingual market with a large Acadian community, and it sits in the middle of beach towns, farms and small communities that a salon van can reach in under an hour. ## What does a Moncton winter mean for a nail van? Moncton gets long, snowy winters, and many storms bring heavy wet snow that changes to freezing rain before the cold comes back and locks everything in place. In March and April the thaw sets in, with slush by afternoon and ice again by morning. Summers turn warm and humid. A pedicure client in that weather arrives in boots and damp socks and then sits barefoot for an hour, so the floor has to be warm. A ProVanWorks nail van for Moncton has heat coming up through the floor and out of the walls from a small diesel, gas or electric heater under the seat, held steady by a thermostat, and much thicker insulation in the walls, roof and floor than the 16 mm (5/8 inch) a Lower Mainland van gets. The heater runs with the engine off, so the room stays warm between appointments. On a sticky July afternoon, the front fan runs the air conditioning. Two fans, front and back, move air through the room while you work with acrylics, gels and remover. ## Who books a mobile salon in Greater Moncton? Moncton, Dieppe and Riverview grew together around the Petitcodiac River, and clients are spread across all three. Clients may ask for service in French or English, so many owners letter the van in both languages and keep booking messages and price lists bilingual. A salon van here can serve: - Busy families in the newer subdivisions of Moncton, Dieppe and Riverview who want nails or a cut at home. - Seniors' residences and home-care clients across the city. - Students and staff around the Université de Moncton campus. - Cottage owners and summer visitors along the Northumberland Strait shore in Shediac and Cap-Pelé, where a salon that comes to the cottage saves a drive back into town. - Wedding parties and rural clients in Westmorland and Albert counties and out toward Sackville. Check with the City of Moncton, the City of Dieppe or the Town of Riverview, depending on where you park, about parking and setting up a salon van on the street or in a lot.

A [mobile nail salon van](/mobile-salon-vans/nail-salon-van/) needs a pedicure basin with hot water and a hand-wash sink, and a hair van adds a shampoo bowl. The fresh water reservoir and grey water tank are sized for each build, so a technician who books a full day of pedicures at the shore can finish without a refill. Because the plumbing runs inside the heated room, the hot water keeps working through a February cold snap. The nail drill, the UV or LED lamp, the lights and the fans run from the auxiliary battery bank. It charges at Level 2 EV chargers through a J1772 inlet, or from shore power through the 50 A inlet (30 A also available) or the 20 A, 120 V inlet. Solar panels suit a van parked at one cottage for the day, and a generator suits long rural runs. Both are add-ons. ## What rules apply to a mobile salon in Moncton? Check with your provincial public health inspectors about the rules for nail, hair and lash services in a vehicle before you book clients, and ask whether a separate hand-wash sink or a particular way of cleaning the pedicure basin is required. Tell us what you learn, so the layout fits from the start. ## How far is Moncton from the Langley shop? Moncton is about 5,600 km from our shop by road, most of it on the Trans-Canada: across the Prairies and northern Ontario, through Montreal and along the St. Lawrence, then into New Brunswick at Edmundston and down through Fredericton. ProVanWorks drives the van to you, ships it on a vehicle transport carrier, or you pick it up in Langley. Delivery is quoted for each build; read [delivery across Canada](/delivery-across-canada/) for how it works. Every salon van is built to the customer's own specifications or from one of ProVanWorks' already designed systems, adjusted to your services. See all the layouts on the [mobile salon vans](/mobile-salon-vans/) page, and the [New Brunswick](/mobile-salon-vans/new-brunswick/) page for the rest of the province. ## Frequently asked questions ### Can a Moncton salon van serve Shediac and the shore in summer? Yes. Shediac is a short drive from Moncton, and a ProVanWorks salon van carries its own water, heat and power, so it can work at a cottage or a campground as easily as in the city. Group shore clients on the same day to cut down on driving in summer traffic. ### Will a Langley-built van cope with New Brunswick freezing rain? Yes. Every ProVanWorks salon van is insulated and heated for the climate where it will work. Freezing rain and slush mostly test the floor and the doors, and the heated, waterproof floor keeps the room dry and warm for bare feet.
