Thinking of joining?
Here’s how it works.
-
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. Use our equipment and supplies, or bring your own. You're free to work your way.
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.
You choose your clients and control your schedule.
Need a day off? Take it. You’re the boss.
-
Start with a 12-month term, then continue month-to-month

Select the days and shifts that work best for you
AM shifts: Start as early as you like, end by 2:30 PM
PM shifts: Begin as early as 3 PM and run as late as needed

Our Fee Structure is affordable, allowing you to keep the majority of your revenue.

37% of gross sales, plus a modest fee of $18 per shift
