Questions about adding mobile?
Wag'n Tails
Turn waitlists, drive-time clients, and neighborhood demand into a second revenue stream with a Wag'n Tails van sized for expansion, not a remodel.
You already have the brand, the book, and the craft. Mobile extends capacity without more square footage.
Offer driveway appointments to loyal clients who want convenience, and reach the ones who will not come into the storefront.
Add a route or a second stylist seat without a remodel, a new lease, or lobby overhead.
Keep your salon as headquarters and send a professional Wag'n Tails van into neighborhoods you want to own.
Owner story
Shannon and Monica started as bathers, discovered mobile grooming at a groom show, and grew What a Wonderful Woof through Wag'n Tails vans first. Their Chicago storefront came later as the business scaled into a hybrid model.

Short answers for salon owners exploring a mobile add-on.
If you have demand you cannot serve in-store, clients who want convenience, or stylists ready for a route, a mobile add-on is worth exploring. Start with the readiness check or share details in the form above.
A purpose-built van adds a working bay and a territory play without more square footage, construction, or lobby overhead. Your salon stays headquarters.
Prequalification uses a soft credit check. It will not ding your score the way a hard inquiry can.
No. Shannon and Monica grew through mobile vans first, then added a Chicago storefront as the business scaled. Their story shows hybrid can work; it is not proof that every salon-to-mobile path looks the same.
Run the numbers, check readiness, or talk with the Wag'n Tails team about the right van for your salon.
