Sharper Image welcomes Nicole Larson

By Joan Janzen

The staff at Sharper Image at the Kindersley Mall welcomed a new member to their team. Nicole Larson arrived on December 1st for her first day. Coming from Olds, Alberta, Nicole feels right at home in small-town Saskatchewan.

She took her training at Marvel in Edmonton, after which she worked in Red Deer. She also worked at Canmore for about two years but has spent the last seven years in Olds.

“I worked for my mom,” she said, explaining that her mother has a salon in Olds. “The last year, I decided to go off on my own, moving to a different salon and working for myself.”

Her first few months in Kindersley will be a time of transition. “I’ll be in Kindersley for two weeks, then go back to Olds for one,” she explained. “I’m still going back and forth for the first bit and then will be here full time.” For now, she will be working three days a week, but she may be working more during the busy Christmas season.

Nicole enjoyed her first day as she met new people and helped out the girls at the salon. She really looks forward to meeting many new customers and hopes to be a good addition to the team at Sharper Image.

When Nicole’s not working, she enjoys being outdoors. “I always played hockey growing up and am interesting in playing sports,” she said.

Nicole is looking forward to providing hair styling needs for all her new customers.
