Butterfly Kisses By Nicki

Nicki Mancor moved to Quesnel over 15 years ago from Vancouver Island and declares that she would never go back. "I love it here," she says. Plus, "we actually get to enjoy snow!" She loves the small town atmosphere and the friendly people who inhabit it and who were so quick to embrace and welcome her when she first came. Now she feels as though she knows most everyone and is grateful to live in a community where people look out for each other's safety and well-being.

Nicki is a mom and was looking for a career that would integrate her values and passion with her desire to be available to her young family. She also wanted to be able to bring something to Quesnel that was unique and not otherwise available. Eyelash extensions and other lash treatments are a growing niche in the beauty industry, and to Nicki it seemed like the ideal service to make accessible to Quesnel residents. Nicki's studio is in her home, so she is able to schedule her work around her children's activities. She is proud to be able to offer something that makes people feel beautiful and to make it affordable.

Nicki and her husband are dog lovers and are the founders of Northern Interior Lab Rescue, a non-profit organization that rescues and helps to re-home Labrador Retrievers that have been abandoned, lost or surrendered by their owners. Between her children and her organization, Nicki leads a busy life. She also likes to volunteer at her kids' school and spend time doing yard work.
