People in Mississippi are willing to pay for permanent hair removal, so learn more about the field of electrology and how to get started by contacting the schools listed below.

State License Requirements

Since Mississippi is a state where electrology is unregulated, you do not have to complete a certain amount of training or attend a specific school to start your career.

Education Details

In the early part of your education, you may learn about the theory of permanent hair removal and how to properly assess clients. This involves learning about skin conditions, different types of skin, how hair grows, and conditions that may contraindicate the usage of electrolysis. In the practical experience portion of your education, you develop valuable skills that allow you to work with clients and properly remove hair. After practicing with different electrolysis tools and techniques, you may work with real patients in a real cosmetology setting. As you proceed through your education, you learn how to remove hair from different parts of the body and pay careful attention to skin sensitivity.

License Renewal

Electrology is not currently regulated in the state of Missouri. That’s why we would direct you to the website for the American Electrology Association to learn about their Board Certification program. By obtaining this certification, you can work legally in this state. Many 600 hour electrology programs will prepare you for the Certified Practitioner of Electrology Exam given by the AEA. Even though Missouri does not have continuing education requirements, you should consider the ones offered by the AEA to keep your skills fresh.
