Serve as an incubator for independent electrologists, through resource sharing and professional development needed to grow a sustainable practice - while making permanent hair removal more accessible to the consumer in a centralized location.

Many electrologists choose this field for the freedom it offers, but high startup costs and limited business experience can make it difficult to launch a practice. Our model lets you start your business now with minimal upfront investment.

At The Electrolysis Collective, you’re a self-employed business owner, not an employee. You operate under your own name, grow your client base, and use our fully supported infrastructure - including insurance credentialing and practice management software.

Bring your skill and work ethic - we’ll support the rest.

💸 How Your Money Flows: What To Expect

Provider Earnings

• Average $75 per treatment hour (face & body) after revenue split & fees.

Revenue Split (Automatic):

• 64% to you

• 36% to TEC

Weekly Deposits:

• Your share of revenue is sent automatically to your bank account every week

Expenses

• Stripe automatically deducts their transaction fees

• Each month, you pay two bills: 

  • TEC Time Block fees ($15 per)

  • 50% of ongoing insurance claims, co-pay, and co-insurance processing fees (varies according to volume)

Why We Charge Time Block Fees

• Time Block fees create mutual investment. TEC invests heavily upfront in each provider, and a small Time Block fee reflects the provider’s commitment while ensuring treatment rooms are reserved only when they’ll be used.

If you have questions about the numbers, we’re happy to provide more details. Because insurance rates and claims processing scenarios can vary widely, it’s too complex to fully summarize here.
