Transcript
We are here to make people feel good about themselves.
We really have to feel like we are a day maker for the guest
you’ve made my day.
How great is that when you hear those words from your guest.
All right. I’m David Dolce. Hello everybody.
And this is the Day Maker podcast.
I am so happy that I get
to interview Gia today. Gia, welcome.
Thank you so much for having
I’m so excited to be here.
So tell everybody how we know each other.
So, uh, David was my essentials teacher, um,
right when I first started at Tricoci.
And he kind of followed me onto the floor then,
because like you became just like a more like
on-hand teacher, you know?
And so yeah, we just kind of like built up like this,
you know, professional relationship.
And then I started working for Tricoci
and then it kind of like became more of like a friendship.
Yes. And it was really, it was really nice.
You were just always like a good person to like lean on,
you know, in, in the industry. For sure.
It’s crazy ’cause you’re, you’re part of the beginning
of my story with Tricoci.
Yeah. And part of your beginnings in this industry. Yeah.
I got to spend more time with you in your class
because I was your essentials teacher
and then got to go on the floor.
On the floor. Yeah. Because most people,
after they leave the classroom now, the rest
of their program are with another teacher.
Right. Obviously you still talk to everybody,
but it was just special part-time night student.
Yeah. So you’re there for almost two years.
So we spent a lot of time together. That’s
A lot of time together. And then especially
like, you know, when you don’t show up
to class, sometimes you have to make up the full days.
And then I’m spending like hour days there
and then we’re spending hours together.
So we really built up like a good relationship, I think.
I love it. Yeah. So you’re special case
because you were enrolled
and attended a university. Mm-hmm.
Oh yeah. And you
Just decided, like, what was it, what made you decide like
The Industry’s it, you know,
It just, the college life, you know, it’s enticing,
but it just wasn’t for me.
I really like being, you know, hands on with what I do.
And then especially like with the traditional college, kind
of like experience, it’s very like
matters are in your own hands.
Like, it’s up to you to actually get
to class, get your stuff done.
Yeah. Get your grades up
and like, really, like professors are not really there
to like really help you.
They’re just there to do the lecture and move it on.
You know what I mean? That wasn’t a good fit for me.
I’m, like I said, more hands on.
So being, coming from like a family that was very, um,
kind of like performance based.
My grandparents had the costume shop growing up. Yes.
So I grew up kind of loving Halloween and dressing up
and doing hair and makeup and stuff.
So I never really thought of it being like a profession
until I dropped outta college.
I didn’t have anything to do.
I’m like, I knew hairstyling was an option,
but I was just like, you know, is
that really something I wanna pursue?
But then I talked to, um, one
of my social workers from high school
and they were just like, well, you know,
why don’t you check out Tricoci?
I’ve gotten my hair done before at the university.
And it was just always such a good experience
because the teachers and the students, it’s just,
it’s like a nice place to go and get your hair done
and then also like, help students kind of like
get the experience, you know.
So I went and had an orientation with Erin Baker
and she literally, yes.
Oh my God. I fell in love with it.
And then she told me that you
were gonna be my essential teacher.
She’s like, oh, you’re gonna love David.
You’re gonna love him. That’s so cool.
And then that first day, literally I met you
and I’m like, this is for me.
Oh, this is for me. It was fun. So much fun. So much fun.
You guys really helped build like a good foundation
for like kind of the stylist I am today, you
Know? Thank you. Yeah. That means
a lot to me. Oh yeah. Of course.
That’s why I wanted to be a teacher, obviously.
Share my life, share what I went through. Yeah.
So Gia, you went to school with your best friend? Yes.
From like, yes, baby on right,
Alyssa. Oh my God. Yeah.
We grew
up across the street from each other.
Literally best
Friends. So whose
idea was it who dragged who into the program?
So actually she was in a similar boat as me.
She was actually enrolled at, um, a university.
She was about to go to orientation literally the next day.
And I was like, you know what?
I’m going to, uh, Tricoci orientation today, just come
with me, see what it’s about.
And then it’s like, so I kind of like brought her with,
but then she was just like,
why didn’t I think of this sooner?
Like we, not only did we have this passion, you know,
doing each other’s hair and makeup growing up,
it’s like it almost just clicked and made sense that day.
We’re just like to go through this experience together.
You know what I mean? And then that almost made it an even
better experience
because then you kind of have a little partner in crime
to like kind of experience it.
Totally. It was really an awesome
just experience like all, all around, you know?
Yes. It was great having both of you.
Um, I always say like, things happen for a reason. Oh yeah.
Like, you start when you’re supposed to,
because some of these classes that start together,
you’re like, I can’t imagine them being in class with
Anybody else. Right. It’s
like the dynamic in the,
and just like the different personalities, they really kind
of, um, uh,
like compliment each other, you know what I mean?
Yeah. And they really think that everyone in our
class played like a role. You know what
I mean? It’s so true. Yeah.
We had an awesome class. I love it.
I’ve got crazy memories. I tell teachers all the time.
’cause now I’m training teachers,
I’m like, oh my God, that’s great.
You gotta make it fun. I’m like, we’ve had days, remember
with Nini in my class, we put on sweat into the oldies.
We’re doing God minutes sweat into the old break. Like,
I always think about like, especially Juanita, I love, oh
My gosh, why did I think about her too? When she walked
In? She literally,
she just made things fun.
You know, you walk in and it’s like,
you might not be having a great day,
and then all of a sudden she turns around
and like, she, she’s just like getting you
excited about being there.
And it’s just, yeah.
It’s, it was really an awesome, awesome experience.
It’s really cool not to get like too into whatever,
but I remember something happened within American history
and you and Juan to even barge outta school
because you wanted to let everybody know Oh
Yeah. We were
To protest. And like, that
Was, that was back when I was a little,
a little bit more like spunky and spicy, you know?
No, but I love that. Like, that’s who you were. Yeah.
You were always more mature to me Yeah.
Than like everybody else. Thank you.
Mature behind your age. Yeah.
It’s just, I, you know, I, there’s, there’s, you know, I,
I just liked to carry myself.
I’m very passionate about mm-hmm.
What I believe in and what I do.
So like, like you said, like, I wanna be heard, you
Know? I love it.
Did you look at any other beauty schools
other than Tricoci? Um,
You know what, I did a little bit of research.
Mm-hmm. I looked at, you know,
a couple other ones in the area.
What pulled me to Tricoci was not only like,
just the different locations, I just liked
that there was like, like a choice, you know what I mean?
Uhhuh, like, there’s the Northwest, there’s the northeast,
you know, there’s all these different campuses.
But what I think pulled me, I think like, it was just the,
just the way Aaron kind of like brought, like,
brought me into it with the
orientation, you know what I mean?
So she reached out to me like right away
after like, I inquired about it.
Like, I kid you not, it was like an hour
or two that I sent in the inquiry
and then I got a call back.
Whereas it’s like some of the other ones, like,
I didn’t hear back or I would get like an email
where it was just like one of those copy and paste emails.
Yeah. It was just not very personal.
So like, the fact that like Erin like called me
and was just like, Hey, come in
for, come in for an interview.
Come in just to see what it’s about. And like yeah.
That just made a world of a
Difference, I think. And she’s so
enthusiastic too.
Oh my God. I love her Love. She’s like the only example
I ever had at Admissions advisor
that became an admissions advisor.
It was the best role model for
Me to, yeah. Oh, totally. Totally.
I love it. So you have done a lot in this industry.
Yes, I have. From doing hair on your own,
getting a job at a salon.
Yeah. Actually partnering with somebody in a salon.
Now you’ve got your own studio suite you’re about
to launch, right?
Oh my gosh. Yeah. Under the handle G of the Hair Witch.
Oh yeah. I just love it.
Tell me about your journey,
’cause it’s been a process for you.
Gotcha. Yeah, so right out of cosmetology school, um,
I was kind of just like, you know, feeling out my options.
I got my license. Um, I did assist up in, uh,
Glenview at Salon Oak for, um, I think just like a summer.
It was like four months. And I got to kind of know the ins
and outs of just like, how the salon,
how real salon worked, you know?
Um, just kind of like the ins
and outs of, um, both the aesthetics
and the, um, cosmetology kind of side.
Um, once I kind of wanted
to find someplace a little bit closer to home, I was, um,
pulled towards, um, Goldilocks,
which was in Berwyn at the time.
And I worked there for a little bit.
And actually a few months into me working there
and renting a booth, actually, uh, we, I found out
that we were actually related, like, like that’s nuts.
Like, so her aunt had married like my uncle,
like a little bit down the line.
But yeah. So we found out we were related.
Had some cousins in common. Oh my God.
So such a small world. Such a small
World. Totally.
Um, and then, you know, during my, um,
during my lease at the Berwyn location, I actually,
that’s when Covid hit.
Wow. So at that time I was immunocompromised, so I was like,
you know what, this salon environment is not, um,
it’s not the safest environment for me right now.
Mm-hmm. So I’m going to take a step back.
And then I started doing hair just from home.
Just like the, just like the select people, like friends,
family, cousins, that type of thing.
Um, but believe it
or not, I was actually able
to build up a clientele doing that.
I think it was just, you know, being in the comfort
of my home, which, you know,
I have like my plants everywhere.
I have like my TV that I would always put like shows
or like YouTube on, just,
I think I just created like a really like safe environment
for my clients to come
and get their hair done through Covid.
Mm-hmm. So like that kind of like, they like stuck
with me from then on, you know what I mean?
Yep. So after a couple years of doing hair from home, um,
my business partner, um, actually reached out to me, um,
Cynthia, and she wanted me
to basically open up a salon with her.
So we opened up a salon together and it was great.
We literally, um,
opened up a place in Brookfield under the
same name Goldilocks.
Um, and like, yeah, it was so great kind of building that
experience, kind of like taking this kind
of like eighties style salon that had been there for years
and years and years and really polishing it to perfection,
putting some work in,
and really making it a little bit more like a luxury
salon Now.
Um, the, I went kind of the, the more salon suite route
because it’s just easier for me to be independent
and kind of just, um, focus on myself and my brand.
Um, I love the brand Gia, the Hair Witch. Yes.
I literally, literally a couple years ago, someone said
to me like, oh my God, you’re like, like you do magic.
You’re like a, like a hair witch.
And I’m like, Hmm, I like that.
So I’m gonna tag that and that’ll be good. You know?
So I kind of just been playing around with that branding
and it just kind of stuck.
People really get a kick out of it. I do. I love it.
You know, it’s like, like I, I provide like more of, um,
an alternative kind of like salon setting
where people are coming in, getting a private experience,
but also, like, I’m all about judgment free.
I don’t want people to feel intimidated when they come in.
I don’t to make people feel like I’m gonna talk them out
of something that they want, like you with their hair.
’cause that’s kind of like my biggest thing right now.
A lot of people walk into a salon
and like, they’re like, oh, they want their,
say they want their hair chopped off.
Like, I’m not gonna talk you out of that
because that’s what you wanna do.
I’m not gonna be like, oh, well no, let’s keep it long.
Like, no, if that’s what you want, I’m do it right.
People do do that. I’m gonna do, I’m like,
I’m gonna make sure that you are, you are comfortable.
And I’m kind of what I like to call, it’s um,
like affirming haircuts, you know what I mean?
Where you’re really helping people
like bring their inner confidence out regardless of what
that haircut, hairstyle looks like.
It doesn’t matter as long as you’re feeling confident.
That’s what matters to me. You know what I mean?
I’m just, I like being able to create an environment
where my clients can be themselves, come as they are
and not feel kind of like the judgment that sometimes comes
with some of these bigger standard franchise type salons.
You know what I mm-hmm.
So I just kind of wanted to focus on that aspect of it.
Good. So a lot of my students, um,
and I hear it a lot, so in admissions and even in teaching
and director, they want to go open a salon suite.
That’s what they’re doing right after they get outta school.
Right, right. Even when I’m trying
to teach some of them professionalism.
’cause that’s just as important as the hands-on thing.
Totally. Yeah. Oh, I don’t have to worry about that.
’cause I’m not gonna work at a salon.
I’m working for myself. Mm-hmm.
How important was for you
to do this assistant program work in the salon
before you did the salon suite?
You really have to kind of cover all your bases.
You know, you have to find what works for you as a stylist,
kind of like putting yourself in the different environments
to kind of just like, feel it out, you know?
That really is important.
Kind of like putting, putting in those dues, you know,
because going from, from cosmetology to school
to salon suite, it’s a little bit more difficult
because you’re having to build up a clientele with like,
pretty much like, no, like walk-ins, no, kind of like walk
by traffic, you know?
So it really falls on you to market
and like really put yourself out there.
And that comes with a level of
professionalism, you know what I mean?
Oh yeah. You have to conduct yourself in a professional way.
You have to be, um, empathetic, caring with,
but also have to, you know, be stern sometimes.
You have to know your boundaries
and know what you are,
what you are offering and what you’re worth.
You know what I mean? And I think that comes with
putting yourself in all the different environments
and really fe just feeling out the different, um, different,
uh, sides of the industry.
You know what I mean? Yeah.
It’s important. It’s so important.
It’s, and I try to tell people that too. Yeah.
So I’m glad you’re answering that question for us.
For sure. For sure.
Because I mean, the way even, you know,
how you conduct yourself at home,
obviously you have your home life and your business life,
but I think that there is like a link there.
So it’s like you’re not having to, like,
there’s not this huge like mask that you’re putting on
because people come to you to,
because they’re coming to you.
They like you, you know? Yes.
They like what you do,
but it’s also how you kind of like portray yourself
and how you carry yourself.
And I think that’s also like one
of the more important things.
It’s the confidence you have within yourself
as a stylist will kind of like bleed out
and your clients like, pick up on that energy, you know?
So your clients really come to you for you
and not necessarily what you’re providing.
It’s, it’s you, you know, you’re selling you.
Yep. And it’s so important to have a special,
so important Instagram for your business.
Mm-hmm. Or TikTok. Then you do your personal life. Yes.
I’ve seen people have shared the same thing in their post
and something I’m like, girl. Like
What? Like
Some, no, sometimes it is, it is good.
And then you’ve got your hair thing.
Come see me at the salon.
What, there is a little bit of a,
you know, a line that you wanna keep.
Yes. You have your, your personal life
and you know, of course you want your business
to have your personality sprinkled in there.
Totally. Yes. That’s important too.
You want people to know like, hey, like, you know, like
how I love dogs and I love this aspect.
I’m Italian and I love to cook.
So it’s like adding a story here
and there that’s really kind
of peering into your personal life mm-hmm.
Really does help your clients
understand that you are a real person.
Yes. And you’re not just providing a service
that you are a person and you have a whole kind
of like energy and personality to kind of build on
And attracting people like yourself. Yeah,
Exactly. So these
kind into becoming your friends
and it’s just, its an awesome
Career. It’s
really, it’s very rewarding. Really rewarding for
Sure. So if you
had to go back to your first day of school
orientation, whatever, first day,
what advice would you give yourself?
Um, that, like knowing one would you know now,
what advice would you give yourself?
Yeah. Uh, Considering you did hour
days, go to class,
Go to class, um, obviously, you know,
you’re in, in charge of your own schedule, so getting there,
it’s, it’s on you.
Right. So I would definitely say, um, go to class,
go for your scheduled hours.
Just do it. Mm-hmm. Just do it, you know,
but also, um, put yourself out there a little bit more,
you know, because I feel like a lot
of the times I was a little bit more reserved
and I wouldn’t get involved in some
of like, maybe some of the events.
I mean, I loved doing Latino Fashion Week.
That was actually one of my favorite experiences.
That was fun. But like, kind
of like the mini challenges we would do.
I really wish I got more involved in that,
but like, I was, I don’t know, I was just distracted.
So like, lock in, I would tell myself, just lock in,
do your hours, get involved, and yeah. That’s, yeah. I
Love that. That’s good
advice. Mm-hmm. I think so
Too. And
Then we were talking, I, you still keep in touch
with everybody and that like warms my heart.
Oh yeah. Oh. So think of you guys like my family. Totally.
Like you’re my kids. Right.
And watching you guys grow has just been beautiful. Yeah.
Um, tell me like what those connections you made.
Oh my gosh. Because you met barbers.
You made estheticians? Cosmetologist.
Oh. Oh. So, um, I mean our, just our essentials class.
I mean, I have everyone on social media,
so we all like, keep in touch.
Like, I still hear from Lizzie all the time. I love Lizzie.
I love it. Love Lizzie.
Um, I see, uh, Jaylen
and Donna on, um, Instagram all the time.
They’re doing great. I’m still friends
with Jaylen’s mom too. She does same
Love her. Um,
Ms. Jane Roman love her so much.
Um, sky love her to death. Yes. Oh my gosh. She
Actually, you bring back all the memories.
Makes me wanna cry. I,
Oh my God, walking up here, I was just like, I know,
the minute I hear his voice, I’m gonna like, do,
You Know? But,
um, yeah, like literally.
And then especially like Allie, of course, I, you know,
I still talk to her all the time,
but like, even, even the people
that I met working there when they were
just students. Yeah.
You know, you wrote GSR too after
You graduated, went the phones, appointments.
Danielle and Megan, Nikki and Deanna, all of them.
So it’s like they’re really, and I’ve had like, experiences
with them in and Oh my gosh.
Kay too. Yeah. Oh my God.
So like, there are certain things that I
like would have learned from, like say Donna or Jalen,
because they literally have that thick, thick hair.
So they’re just like, okay, so when you blow dry, thick,
thick hair like this, you have to, that
that tension needs to be there, you know?
So it’s like when I’m blow drying today,
like I can hear them in my head, like, you better pull that.
Pull it. Yes. You pull that
and you get that blow dry in, you know?
So, and then, um, I mean, yeah.
So there was just little things like that, you know,
that I carry with me today
where there’s just like little reminders.
Like even you, like, there are certain techniques
that I learned from you that I still use today.
Like certain point cutting techniques
and like, just like little, little, like, okay.
Like when you’re cutting a bob, you stay in your box, you
Know? Yeah. Stay in a box. Literally
remember
You telling us, you know.
So like, it’s just, it really does.
My experience at Tricoci
and like the, um, the relationships I made, the friendships,
everything, like plays such a huge part in who I am as,
as a, um, a business owner and a cosmetologist today.
You know, it’s like, it’s just,
it’s just cool how there it is.
It really is just kind of like a little, a little, like
a little path that you follow here.
Love it. It’s like a proud papa moment for me. I know.
So it’s the questions that I ask everybody for this podcast.
Mm-hmm. And when did you realize that you had the power
to actually be a day maker for somebody else? Gotcha.
Okay. So I actually, one of my first times,
it was at Tricoci, I, um, I really was,
I, I don’t know, I, whenever people came in as walk-ins for,
at the, at the school, like I really, I, I wanted
to take people, you know,
I was just like, all right, just give ’em to me.
I don’t care if it’s a haircut, I don’t need,
I don’t need the sign off, I’ll take the haircut.
I don’t care. Mm. So sometimes those little ladies would
come in and then it’s like, you really do make their day.
You know? It’s really like, not only with the haircut,
but just the conversation.
Yeah. You know what I mean?
It really is about the whole experience
and not just the haircut, you know?
Yeah. I never even thought about this.
So like, another question that we ask is like, how does the,
and I always think of the look and how you made them feel.
Yeah. How does that translate when they leave your salon?
But you mentioned too, like,
that conversation sticks with people too.
Oh, totally. So they go home with that as well.
People even today, will reach out to me.
Actually, someone just reached out to me, um,
I saw them on Saturday,
and, um, they’ve been kind of going through schooling, kind
of trying to like, find their path, you know?
And we just recently did a big chop.
She was, she had her hair super,
super long for the very long time.
She really wanted to do like, you know, like the bixie,
it’s like a Bob pixie, you know?
Mm-hmm. So she was like, I just don’t know, like,
let’s just see how it goes.
We did it. She texted me later that day.
She’s just like, I just wanna let you know, like how much,
like, I appreciate you not only like, you know,
the hair obviously, but like, just like your time
and your, uh, your just your touch.
You know what I mean? It really does make a difference when
you’re sitting there and you’re like listening
to your client, but like adding a little bit
of your personality and feedback is okay.
Sometimes it’s okay. Yeah.
You know, and I think a lot of the times, a lot
of stylists are afraid to show their personality, you know?
Mm-hmm. But making that connection with your client
and really helping bring out their confidence.
It almost, I don’t know, you see it in their face, you know,
they’re, they light up, they almost kind
of like carry themselves a little bit higher, you know?
And that matters a lot to me because I’m big on confidence.
I’m big on mental health. You know this. Yep, yep, yep.
I’m big on, you know, taking care of you
however you see fit.
And if that means chopping all your hair
off, I’m here to do it.
You know, I’m here to, I’m here to, um, support you
and like kind of also educate you on,
you know, how to style it.
How to, like, how to actually do what I do, but at home.
You know what I mean? Yes. That’s important.
So that’s so important. It’s,
and that’s a big thing with keeping clients too, I think.
Um, keeping clients is very, um,
I don’t think it’s like very difficult,
but like, in order to keep someone coming back,
there’s gotta be like this pull.
Right. You know? But I do like to educate my clients on like
how to take care of their hair at home.
I want them to be able to recreate what I do
so they’re not completely % dependent on me.
That doesn’t make sense to me,
because I wanna be able to empower them
and make them feel like they can take care of themselves.
You know? And that’s, and that makes
’em come Back. Right. And
I’m here for the support, you know,
I always have my line open.
I’m always like, um, if you have questions, concerns,
if you need product recommendations, reach out to me.
Let me know. I’m always here.
And I think that’s what kind of like tracks with my clients.
They’re like, they know I’m here for them, you know? Yep.
And that’s like, I don’t know. That’s important to,
That’s beautiful. Yeah. You
rolled into a question that I would ask, like,
how is all that important in keeping your clients?
Oh yeah. Yep. I think so you mentioned mental health.
That’s very important to me too.
Obviously, you know, that, um,
since you’ve been gone this past year,
we just incorporated something into our curriculum called
The Vitality Project.
Oh my gosh. Don’t even tell me. And it’s lessons.
And we go through all that stuff.
Breathing exercises, meditation, how we take on
so much from our clients.
We’re not allowed to have bad days
’cause we have to be that day maker.
Right. So how to take care of ourselves. Yes.
How the teachers can take care
of themselves from the stress of teaching.
Mm-hmm. You would love it. That’s, that’s huge because
That’s so cool. It’s
just seeing how much the, um,
the curriculum has advanced
and evolved since I’ve been there.
It’s, it’s heartwarming for me
because I mean, like,
that’s not something you really even like think about,
especially with like, if you’re seeing like three,
four clients in a day, a lot
of the times you’re taking on all that energy.
Yeah. You know, so it’s important to, you know, be there
for your clients, but be there
for yourself too as a stylist.
You know, it’s really about taking care of yourself.
You don’t have to, and I, I know this is like,
this might be a hot take,
but you don’t have to work , hour days
to be a successful stylist.
You don’t. You don’t.
Because at the end of the day, you’re gonna burn out
and you’re not gonna be at your best.
You’re just not. No, it’s true. You know what I mean?
So like, while that might work for some people,
it doesn’t work for me.
You know, I’m one of those people.
I like to consolidate my clients to specific days,
but I’m not gonna overwork myself
because I wanna be my optim.
Yeah. Like, I wanna be the, the most optimal, uh,
cosmetologist I can be.
Work-life balance. Yes. Work life balance is cheap.
I don’t open my computer on the weekends. No, never. Never.
No, no. But it’s cool too to go to a school
and work for a school that actually incorporated something
about mental health that cares about it.
They saw the need. Yeah. They care about it. Said
They saw the need and they’re like,
all right, how can we make this work? That’s,
We gonna do this?
It was really cool. Yeah.

and now look at you sitting here.

and I’m having a proud daughter moment.
