What is Nika Spray Bottle?

Nika Spray Bottle is the refillable water sprayer of the NIKA station range: a glossy black bottle with a lever trigger that releases a fine, even mist. It keeps the hair evenly damp through a cut, a blow-dry or a restyle, so every section stays workable from the first to the last.

The head unscrews for filling and rinsing, and an internal dip tube reaches down to the base of the bottle. The long lever is worked with two fingers, which makes it quick to pick up between comb and scissors.

Specifications

Who Nika Spray Bottle is for

• Cutting, where every section has to stay evenly damp from the first subsection to the last.
• Curls and waves, to refresh the pattern without washing the hair again.
• Blow-dry and styling, to bring a section that has dried out back to workable.
• Home use, to dampen the hair before combing or styling.

For an atomizer made for aftershave lotion at the barber station, see the comparison below.

Key features

• Fine mist: the spray settles on the hair as an even veil, so the section is damp rather than soaked.
• Lever trigger: a long lever at the front of the head, worked with two fingers.
• Removable head: it unscrews from the bottle for filling and rinsing.
• Internal dip tube: it reaches the base of the bottle, so the contents are sprayed down to the bottom.
• Glossy black with NIKA print: it matches the NIKA tools on the station and the trolley.

How to use Nika Spray Bottle

1. Fill with clean water at room temperature, leaving some air at the top.
2. Screw the head fully onto the bottle, with the dip tube pointing straight down.
3. Work the lever a few times on first use, until the mist comes out even.
4. Hold the bottle at a distance from the head and move it across the section while spraying.
5. Dampen section by section as the work advances.
6. Comb through right after spraying, so the moisture spreads evenly.
7. Empty the bottle at the end of the day and leave it open to dry.

For professionals

FAQ

What is Nika Spray Bottle filled with?

With clean water at room temperature, or with a water-based professional liquid.

Why does a fine mist matter for cutting?

An even mist keeps every subsection equally damp, so the sections behave the same way from the first to the last.

Can it be used at home?

Yes, to dampen the hair before combing and to refresh curls and waves between washes.

How many does a salon need?

One per cutting station, plus one in Nika Bag For Trainer for courses and work outside the salon.

How does the mist stay even?

By emptying the bottle every evening and rinsing the head and the dip tube with warm water once a week, more often where the water is hard.

Material and care

Empty the bottle every evening: standing water leaves limescale in the head, which makes the mist uneven. Rinse the head and the dip tube with warm water once a week, more often where the water is hard. Wipe the outside with a damp cloth, without abrasive pads, which dull the glossy finish. Do not put the head in a steriliser or a dishwasher, and store the bottle empty with the head loosely screwed on.
