In this episode of Beauty Behind the Brand, Nicole shares the story of how a vision turned into a thriving beauty brand.

In 2019, Nicole took her entrepreneurial spirit to new heights with the launch of Miskoka Beauty Inc. — a luxury lash and brow product line rooted in quality, innovation, and results. Built by a beauty professional, for beauty professionals, the brand quickly earned trust within the industry for delivering products that truly perform.

Nicole dives into one of her most defining seasons yet: selling over $9,000 in glass collagen masks in less than 12 hours, securing partnerships with some of Canada’s largest beauty distributors, and scaling her product-based business — all during the same summer she welcomed her baby.

This episode is an honest look at growth, resilience, and what’s possible when passion meets strategy. Nicole breaks down the mindset, momentum, and behind-the-scenes decisions that allowed her to build a brand that continues to grow — even in one of life’s most transformative seasons.

If you’re a beauty entrepreneur balancing big dreams with real life, this episode will leave you inspired, empowered, and reminded that you don’t have to choose between building a family and building a successful business.
