WHAT TO KNOW ABOUT Becoming a Provider at The Electrolysis Collective

  • 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. We remove those barriers. Our model lets you launch your business now, with minimal upfront investment.

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

    At The Electrolysis Collective, you're a self-employed business owner—not an employee. You operate under your own name, build your own brand, and grow a client base you take with you if you choose to move on.
