In today's ever-changing and evolving business environment, running your business from a panel van is an idea that is gaining more and more popularity. That's why companies specializing in van conversions are also outfitting vehicles for mobile businesses. One team that can help entrepreneurs get the business van of their dreams is Safe + Sonder Vans, whose latest creation is a beautiful mobile Med Spa/Aesthetics van.
Panel or cargo vans are versatile vehicles that offer not only mobility but also adaptability and convenience, which makes them perfect for many applications. A wide range of businesses that do not require a brick-and-mortar building can conveniently be done in a van. There are plenty of examples out there, and with the ample storage space it provides and the plethora of customization options available, any regular cargo van can be converted into a space that meets the unique requirements of your business.
Transforming a van into a mobile workspace tailored to your specific business needs will revolutionize the way you operate as you instantly gain more freedom of movement.
Safe + Sonder Vans, the creators of this mobile med spa/beauty salon, are based in Battle Creek, Michigan. The team has considerable experience in woodworking and van conversions, with more than forty builds completed so far. They have worked on vans for full or part-time living, couples or families, dog shows and other events, but this is their first van for a mobile business.
They only work on commission, so each build is specifically tailored to the customer's needs. In this case, they used their extensive know-how to turn a humble cargo van into an awesome mobile medical spa for a client named Kristen.

Built inside a Ram Promaster 3500 High Roof 159" EXT WB, this mobile business proves that a customized cargo van is not just a vehicle; it adds versatility to your operations, allowing you to extend your services on the go. You can hit the road, reach customers wherever they are, and provide your services comfortably within the van. This flexibility can also help expand your customer base.
The designers have taken full advantage of the available square footage inside the van to create a functional space where the owner can provide quality services. The interior layout has been thought out to optimize efficiency and make tasks easy to perform. As such, when entering the van, clients/patients are welcome into a small waiting area that has been fitted with a custom bench with integrated storage and a wall-mounted TV to keep them company. The space is also meant to be used as seating for IV therapy. On the wall, they'll find some hangers for their jackets, coats, or purses.
The actual workspace takes up the rest of the van, with the narrow wall on which the TV is mounted creating some sense of separation. To ensure privacy during consultations and treatments, there is a curtain that completely separates the two areas.
The space where Kristen performs her magic is outfitted with specific equipment, tailored storage solutions, and a motorized, height-adjustable chair where clients can rest comfortably and securely during treatments. A large mirror on the back wall is an essential element that could not be missing from a salon focused on beauty, and a jute puff stool and some wicker baskets bring a tinge of Nordic style into this van.
The motorized chair occupies the center of the van, while one of the side walls is lined with under-counter and overhead cabinets. A sink and a mini fridge enhance the space's functionality, while a rooftop AC and a heater ensure comfort inside, regardless of the weather outside.

Since this is a medical spa/aesthetics salon, the team at Safe + Sonder Vans has used a neutral color palette. They chose white for the shiplap walls, natural wood for the floorings, and black and white for the cabinetry, adding a stylish touch with golden hardware. They used oak and maple woods throughout and faux marble countertops that boost the overall look.
An EcoFlow 10kwh power system that allows complete customization and easy setup ensures everything runs smoothly regardless of where this mobile workspace has to go.
We don't know how much Kristen has paid for the Ram Promaster base van, but the van conversion cost her around $40,000. She has already taken delivery of her mobile beauty salon and has opened its doors to clients.
Having a mobile business comes with many perks, such as location flexibility, increased efficiency, and cost-effectiveness. Various service-based businesses could benefit and thrive from such a panel van conversion. Safe + Sonder's latest van setup is cleverly designed with increased versatility in mind, so it could be used for many other business purposes, such as barbershops, pet groomers, hair salons, tattoo parlor, or physical therapy, delivering convenience and flexibility to your clients.
