I’m Caitlyn Ravida — salon owner, beauty educator, and founder of Collective Beauty Academy.

With 14 years in the beauty industry, 10 years in business, and qualifications in both Beauty Therapy and Training & Assessment, I’ve built a career I love and now I’m here to help you do the same.

I own Ravishing, a thriving salon in Northeast Victoria with 9 treatment rooms and a team of 9. While my team keeps the salon buzzing, I’ve turned my focus to what I truly love — teaching.

I offer face-to-face 1:1 education, hands-on masterclasses, and online training designed to bridge the gap between textbook theory and real salon success. I don’t just teach the how — I teach the why — so you can build serious skill, confidence, and a business that actually books.

After years of mentoring, teaching at TAFE, and training up my own team from scratch, I created this academy to give aspiring beauty pros everything I wish I had when I started — no fluff, no gatekeeping, just real education that works.
