Couple turns passenger party bus into mobile hair salon

CINCINNATI (WKRC) - A beauty shop on wheels is pulling up to homes across the Tri-State.

“MOBA” is the first licensed mobile salon in Ohio.

Warm water runs through the hair of one local client getting a shampoo and style, but she isn't at a regular salon, she’s at MOBA, a mobile hair salon.

"This has always been a dream of mine to own my own salon, so it just made sense to go mobile,” said Allison Riddle.

Allison riddle has 20 years in cosmetology. She and her husband Eli created the beauty shop on wheels to bring a salon to customers.

"We are available when the client needs us. So that can be early in the morning or late at night depending on their event or where they need us to be,” said Allison.

"This was a 15 passenger party bus. I stripped it and gutted it all the way down to the bare floor,” said Eli.

Eli said the plumbing for the sink was the toughest part of the transformation.

"42-gallon clear-and-clean tank and a dirty water tank,” said Eli.

When MOBA rolls up to the location, there is one thing that has to happen to make it work. They have to plug in for electricity and turn on the 10,000-watt generator.

That power energizes blow driers and curling irons.

MOBA says they've hosted a group of ladies for a night out or girls for a princess party.

Katie says she likes the convenience of the bus pulling into her driveway

"It was just like being at a salon, just like being at a salon. I couldn't tell any different. She's got it very nice in there,” said Katie.

Katie is living proof that a “glam new do” can happen on four wheels.

MOBA also does wedding parties.
