Electrology Licensing Program for Louisiana

The "Bayou State" of Louisiana regulates the practice of electrology through licensing and so we refer to it as a licensed state.

Like many other licensed states, the state of Louisiana requires that electrology students complete 600 hours of training before being allowed to sit for the state electrology licensing exam and becoming a licensed Electrologist.

NOTE: For a couple of decades, Louisiana regulators have not allowed residents to train to become Electrologists outside of their state borders, even though the vast majority of other states do. The owner of the one and only electrology school in Louisiana benefits from this regulation.

We are contacted with regularity by outraged Louisiana residents. They find that requests for program information from this school go largely ignored. At this time and until this outdated, unfair situation is changed by Louisiana citizens, your options for training will be limited to non-existent.

Suggestion: Take action. Alternatively, if you know that you can easily work in a neighboring state or are planning to move from Louisiana, contact us. We will be able to assist you. About 30% of our student body each year comes to us from outside of our home state of California. Sorry for your frustration!

AIE's Electrology Program Format

Our 600 hour licensing program is delivered in two modules. All the theory training can be completed online and constitutes 45% of the curriculum or 272 hours, while the hands-on practical training is done in-school and is 55% of the curriculum or 328 hours.

We deliver our 600 hour program on an open-enrollment basis. This means that you may start any day you wish and you can complete your training on a flexible schedule to suit your commitments and lifestyle.

You can complete your training in as little as 4 months or take as long as 12 months, it's completely up to you.

The flexibility of our programs makes it as easy as possible to become an electrologist. Continue reading for curriculum details, more information on our program pricing, our scholarship program and our convenient tuition payment options.

Electrolysis Reimagined

Electrolysis machinery

For many years those of us associated with electrolysis understood that epilators operated at a frequency of 13.5 megahertz. About twelve years ago Dectro International introduced its Platinum line of epilators that operate at 27 MHz. Our horizons were expanded. Their claim is that hair is permanently removed 25% faster and with a degree of comfort previously unheard of. So what are we to make of an epilator that operates at 6.68 MHz?
