Jenna-wade kozak
Hairstylist / Master Colorist
Hey, my name is Jenna-Wade, I have been in the industry for 12 years.
I started my career back in 2011, and I have loved every moment since. My career has taken me to Minneapolis, Toronto and Santa Monica, where I attended Vidal Sassoon @vidalsassoonglobal . I have also travelled to Los Angeles for one of my favorite classes at the 901 Academy @901academy
I love helping clients, love their hair and creating new found confidence in people. My passion is creating beautiful, lived in blondes and tonal brunettes.
In my downtime, I love to cook. Creating a dish is always so fun for me because it’s another way to be creative. I love me a good looking charcuterie board…
I hope to see you soon!
Jenna-Wade is currently on maternity leave.
Kelsey hesketh
Hairstylist: Colorist / Balayage
+ Long Hair Specialist
I’ve been in and out of the hair industry since i was in high school, but dove in deep about 7 years ago! Hair has always been my passion. I couldn’t be happier to have made this my career.
I moved to Calgary from Toronto in April 2021, and have worked here at 1977 since then! Ever since my first long distance FaceTime interview with Chelsea, i knew i had found my new home here.
My favourite thing about hair styling is color. The ability to make you feel shiny brand new inside and out after an appointment is a magical thing. I'm still working on perfecting my haircutting skills, and currently I do not offer haircuts shoulder length or shorter.
When I’m not at the salon, you might catch me making @squeezeclubto hair clips, binge watching reality TV (guilty pleasure) or eating at my current favourite restaurant @patandbettys
Accepting new clients/friends as always 🤍 can’t wait to meet you at my second home 1977!
COLBY BUDNICK
Hairstylist: Curly / Textured Hair Specialist + Vivid Color Specialist + Barbering
Hey there, I’m Colby! I grew up in Martensville before moving to Saskatoon, then to Regina, SK.
I’ve FINALLY arrived in Calgary with my two hairless cats (Kyle and Travis) in tow, which is more my speed. I previously had a career in HR before realizing my passion for the hair industry. I made the switch five years ago and have not looked back.
My favourite services to provide behind the chair are short cuts, vibrant colours and naturally textured/curly hair. The most rewarding part of being a stylist is helping each client reach their hair goals and feel more confident. I also love getting inspired and challenging myself with creative shoots. I’m proud to say my work has been published in 16 magazines and made it as a finalist for the Salon Magazine Canadian Hairstylist of the Year Awards (the Contessas) in 2021.
I am beyond excited for this new chapter in Calgary, and I can’t wait to work alongside and learn from such a diverse and talented group of people at Nineteen Seventy-Seven.
Sydney davidson
Hairstylist: Colors& Cuts / Extension Enthusiast
Hi, I’m Sydney!
I've been a part of the Nineteen Seventy-Seven family since I was 17 years old, and I’ve had the privilege of growing up in my hair home, surrounded by some of the best in the industry. From folding towels to answering phones, I’ve done it all. I even nannied for Chelsea & Jeremy’s amazing little girls—my new best friends, by the way.
In June 2023, I graduated from hair school at MC College in Calgary, and I am finally behind the chair at Nineteen Seventy-Seven! I couldn’t be more excited to take on my dream role as a stylist and work in a creative setting that I am beyond passionate about. I've gained so much knowledge by being on the floor at one of my favorite places on earth, alongside the greatest role models.
My specialties include: coloring hair of all shades, extensions (braidless weaves, tape-ins, k-tips, I-tips, and nano beads), and cutting and styling all hairstyles. I’m happy to take on new clients and look forward to building a clientele of my own.
When I’m not at the salon or school, you’ll probably find me at a concert, tearing up the Greta Bar dance floor, or hanging with my kitty, Doja Cat.
I can’t wait to see all your beautiful faces in my chair :)
CHRISTINA DIMITROVA
Hairstylist: Advanced Hair Cutting
Hello, I’m Christina.
I’ve been a stylist for over 12 years, in Calgary. Focused on haircutting, solely, as that is a passion and specialty of mine - any length as well as any texture.
I’ve been fortunate to extend my training to Santa Monica and Toronto for Vidal Sassoon and Schwarzkopf advanced courses, as well as the opportunity of receiving a personal mention by FLARE magazine’s online blog in 2017.
In my personal time… I enjoy baking, cooking vegetarian, cross-stitching, hiking, hanging out with my beloved cat, and learning massage therapy, herbal medicine and gardening.
HEATHER ACHISON
Hairstylist: Color , Hair cutting,
and Styling
Hey, I'm Heather!
I fell into the hair industry unexpectedly and have been obsessed ever since! I started as a salon receptionist on Vancouver Island and quickly fell in love with the creative, people-focused atmosphere. My favorite thing about doing hair is connecting with people and building relationships with my clients.
As a perfectionist and a creative person who loves drawing, painting, and sewing, doing hair is the perfect balance of creativity and precision for me. When I'm not doing hair, I enjoy nature walks, yoga, and exploring Calgary's incredible restaurants.
I've taken many styling, color, and cutting classes with many of our industries favourite reputable brands. Keeping up with the latest trends and techniques is important and fun for me.
I love doing a bit of everything, but my top three services are layered haircuts, dimensional custom highlighting, and lived-in colors. I enjoy collaborating with my clients to create styles that suit their lifestyle and personality.
I'd love to meet you and make your hair goals a reality. Let's create something great together!
