As in, if one was interested in pursuing a career in electrology, what kind of schooling/process is involved?
Hope you get some answers soon. Im interested in this question as well. There arent many options for long electrolysis sessions in our country (NZ) with highly skilled electrologists. Im in talks with the hubby to up sticks with the family for a while to enrol in a US school to learn this trade properly and then set up at home to do this myself. Such a shame there is nothing specialised in NZ as I would be enrolled tomorrow if there was.
If you are from a country where it’s easier to find dinosaur fossils than electrolysis services, the plunge in investment to start your own business should be easier and more successful (less competition.) I believe learning business/marketing aspect of this peculiar profession is more important than focusing on schools. Your average electrolysis school is what 120-600 hour course that can be completed in couple months? I doubt you will learn much skills so focus on doing individual training with very experienced electrologists after you formally complete certified school training.
That is exactly my worry. The school side of it is only a small part. I would love to sit in with a legend and watch and learn from them following the schooling. Unfortunately there are no legends nearby 
Im not someone that likes to do things by halves either and want to excel at this rather then just learn the basics. Its all very frustrating.
I attended Caruso International School of Electrolysis in Toronto, it was an excellent electrolysis program. The school is run by Lucy Caruso, she is a fabulous teacher with many years of experience, Lucy worked with Elizabeth Meharg who operated Meharg International School of Electrolysis, and is co-author of Cosmedic and Medical Electrolysis & Temporary Hair Removal.
When I left the school I felt that the training had prepared me well. I started working right away and successfully treated many clients, many who have come and gone, treated successfully. The clients who are still with me moved onto other treatment areas.
Lucy had accommodations for out of town students (she likely still does). I am not sure how long the course is now, at that time it was a full time three week, very intense program. I hope this information helps you.
Depending where you live, you need to find the regulation your state/province association requires (ie. 500 hrs). You may have to travel and find accommodations. Good schools are hard to find these days. I’m from western Canada and I didn’t have alot of choices to pick from. The electrolysis association in my province actually recommended a school in the southern USA!
What does it take to become an electrologist?
For some people, 3 days and go! to the first victim! however, for others (myself included) will die without having found many answers.
LONG time lurker, and very interested in beginning a career in electrology myself. I have received electrolysis treatments myself(before I ran out of money!) for excessive facial hair growth and could not be more pleased with the results I had. It truly changed my life and now I’d like to help other people realize they can feel beautiful again too!
I’m looking into going to Cameo College in Utah next month. Hoping fellow students could chime in with their experience going to school … 
I hope you get some feedback here.
I don’t know of anyone who has heard of the instructor teaching the course there, so I am useless to you on this question.
What does it take to become an electrologist?
Lots of patience.
Good hand - eye coordination.
A bit OCD helps - repetitive motion.
I joined the American Electrology Association way back when I was still in school.
The AEA might be helpful - networking with other electrologists - to avoid that feeling of isolation - share knowledge.
