About Electrologists Association of California
Association for Hair Removal Professionals in California
Welcome to the Electrologists' Association of California’s website. Our mission is to provide information for our membership and the general public.
Now over 60 years old, our association was incorporated in 1948. The purpose then, and now, is the same: to be involved in how the electrologist's profession is regulated, and to have an open forum where practitioners can meet to discuss relevant issues. Our central theme is education, for both the practitioner and the public.
We are a member-run organization, and affiliated with the largest electrology association in the world: the American Electrology Association (AEA). With our strong membership, we work together to both protect the public and provide members with a wide range of educational opportunities.
The Electrologists' Association of California (EAC) offers newsletters, meetings and seminars to ensure continual learning in the field of electrology. Ever vigilant about Public Health & Safety, the Electrologists' Association of California (EAC) promotes standards in education, sterilization and advanced training for our professional members.
