About the City

Halifax, Nova Scotia

500,000+ (metro)NS, Canada

Halifax is the capital of Nova Scotia and the largest city in Atlantic Canada. The metro region has grown faster than any other Canadian metro outside the GTA over the past five years, driven by inbound migration, a strong student population (five universities including Dalhousie and Saint Mary's), and major federal government and military employment. The city's downtown core has seen significant residential and retail growth, and the broader Atlantic region looks to Halifax for specialized services that don't exist in smaller centres. Tattoo removal is one of those services.

Who lives here

Atlantic Canada's largest city and the regional economic hub. Halifax has one of the youngest median ages in the Atlantic provinces, driven by five universities and major military and government presence. Population has grown over 10% in the last five years.

Notable attractions

  • Halifax Citadel National Historic Site
  • Halifax Waterfront Boardwalk
  • Peggy's Cove Lighthouse (~45 min)
  • Public Gardens and Citadel Hill
  • Pier 21 - Canadian Museum of Immigration

Why Halifax

A strong market for Studio Kiku.

Halifax is the only major Canadian metro east of Quebec City and serves as the aesthetic-services hub for all of Atlantic Canada. There's essentially no specialized laser tattoo removal clinic east of Montreal - a Studio Kiku Halifax franchise would have effectively zero direct competition across the entire Atlantic region.
