At Casal Aveda Institute, we’re proud to highlight graduates who are building successful, passion-driven careers in the beauty industry—and Gia Triveri is doing just that.
After completing the Cosmetology program at Casal Aveda Institute, Gia launched her career as a hairstylist at Dees Luxe Beauty Spot in Boardman, Ohio.
Today, she’s known for her expertise in blonding and lived-in color, creating effortlessly dimensional looks her clients love. One of her favorite techniques is adding lowlights to blonde hair, enhancing natural depth and bringing a more balanced, sophisticated finish to every style.
Reflecting on her time at Casal Aveda Institute, Gia shares that one of her favorite memories was participating in Fantasy Fair—an experience that allowed her creativity to shine. Beyond the excitement of that event, she credits her education with teaching her one of the most important skills in her career: effective client communication. By truly understanding her clients’ goals, Gia is able to deliver personalized results that keep them coming back.
Gia’s journey is a testament to how cosmetology can transform not just a career, but a life. Through her work, she’s gained confidence, independence, and a clear sense of purpose. A key driver of her success has been building a strong social media presence—consistently sharing her work and connecting with clients has helped her grow a thriving clientele.
What Gia loves most are those “big transformation” moments—when dedication and creativity come together in a final look that makes a client feel their absolute best.
Her advice to future students and aspiring stylists is simple but powerful: stay consistent and give yourself grace. Building a career takes time, but with commitment and belief in yourself, the results are worth it.
We’re excited to see Gia continue to grow and inspire in the industry.
