North Coast Region

Elite Beauty Group owns and operates two aspects of the health, beauty and well-being business in northern B.C.: Santé Skin & Laser Centre is Terrace’s first and only doctor-based medi-spa; and partnering with AVEDA, Studio 3 Salon & Spa is the largest full service salon and spa in the North Coast region.

Originally a home based business Elite Beauty Group has now grown to include 26 employees doing business in Terrace as well as reaching out to nearby communities, such as the clinic in Smithers. Owner Diana Alexander says: “It has taken a lot of energy, sweat and tears. I could not have built Elite into what it is without the support of my husband and the dedication of my wonderful team of staff who give me 100 per cent every day. This in turn keeps me motivated as a leader to continue to take risks.”

The swift and steady growth of this group stems from its strategy to target the entire North as its marketplace, with the vision of delivering cosmetic solutions for clients who previously had to travel to larger cities for similar care.
