My barber used the electric razor in the tip of my nostril (nose hair). i was wondering if this is risky for msra transmission? there was one other client before and the razor was used on my head too.

Possibly.: But your barber should be cleaning the electric razor head or manual blade between clients. I would, however, not worry unless you develop symptoms.

Was it cleaned?: Any object that comes in contact with someone else's skin before your own could transmit MRSA if not disinfected with alcohol first.
