West Coast Beauty is built on a strong foundation of integrity, values, education and family. From humble beginnings "Johnny Joico started selling products from the back of his car, eventually forming The West Coast Beauty Company in 1983. With two employees, secretary Eileen Jevning, and accountant George Piprah, Joico took off. In 1988, Ro Lal was hired to deliver products and moved into sales as one of the "Joi Boys" in 1990.
Since purchasing the company from John in 1997, Eileen and Ro, have taken West Coast Beauty from one brand to the current multi-line, full-service, distribution company operating today. In 2001, they partnered with Gabriel DeJong, owner of Oasis Beauty, to spread their roots into the interior of BC. In 2019, they acquired Nova beauty on Vancouver Island to further expand their portfolio in order to offer a wider range of products.
Now, with over 100 employees and 10 locations throughout BC, they proudly boast that more than half their team has worked together for 15 years or more, and George Is still their accountant today, proving that West Coast Beauty is home for this closely-knit family.
