Nest Studio YYC — lived-in cutting and colour studio in Mission

Nest Studio is an intimate, inclusive hair studio in Calgary’s Mission neighbourhood, led by veteran stylist Niki King and built around effortless, intentionally unrefined hair that looks great as it grows out.

Services

The studio specializes in cutting for every hair type — including thick, coarse and curly hair — with razor and dry-cutting techniques, modern shags and heavy texture, plus colour from solid shades and toners to balayage, highlights and bleach-and-tone.

Technology & brands

Niki’s signature is razor and dry-cutting, reading each head of hair so the shape falls naturally and stays low-maintenance at home. Cutting is offered wet or dry to suit the texture, and tools are kept clean and well maintained.

Team & masters

The studio was founded by Niki King, an accomplished Calgary stylist with more than twenty-five years behind the chair and a specialist in original looks, modern shags, heavy texture and razor and dry-cutting.

The Space

Perched on the second floor of a Mission clinic, the studio is simple, clean, private and inclusive, with free on-site parking — a calm, one-on-one setting rather than a busy salon floor.
