What Makes Our Level 3 Epilation Training Different
Individual Treatment Rooms for Epilation Practice
Unlike most beauty schools where students share equipment in crowded spaces, at Portobello Aesthetics Training Academy in Ladbroke Grove, you’ll practise electrical epilation in individual treatment rooms. This is crucial for permanent hair removal training where you need to focus on precise probe insertion techniques without distractions, maintaining client privacy during intimate treatments.
Small Class Size – Maximum 4 Students
We believe in small classes because epilation training requires precise technique and individual attention when working with electrical equipment. With just 4 students per course, you’ll receive personalised guidance from experienced electrolysis practitioners with over 45 years combined experience in permanent hair removal.

Our epilation course in Ladbroke Grove is structured as an intensive 2-Day programme, giving you focused, comprehensive training in electrical epilation without extended time commitment. You’ll master permanent hair removal techniques quickly and be ready to offer this service professionally.

Questions You’re Probably Asking About Epilation Training
Is electrical epilation really permanent?
Yes – electrical epilation is the only FDA-approved method of permanent hair removal. Unlike laser which is “permanent reduction,” properly performed electrolysis destroys individual hair follicles permanently. However, clients need multiple sessions because only hairs in active growth phase can be treated. You’ll learn all of this during the course.
Do I need beauty therapy qualifications first?
No – Level 3 Epilation doesn’t require prior qualifications. If you’re interested specifically in permanent hair removal, you can start directly with this training at our Ladbroke Grove academy. However, having beauty therapy experience can be beneficial.
Can I learn epilation in just 2 days?
Yes – the intensive format (2 days) provides focused training specifically on electrical epilation. With just 4 students and individual treatment rooms, you get extensive hands-on practice. Many practitioners find focused intensive training more effective than courses spread over months.
Is epilation uncomfortable for clients?
Clients experience varying sensations depending on the area and their pain tolerance. You’ll learn techniques to minimise discomfort and manage client expectations. Most clients find epilation tolerable, especially when performed by skilled practitioners trained at academies like ours in Ladbroke Grove.
How much can I charge for epilation in London?
Pricing varies by treatment area: facial areas £30-£60 per session, body areas £40-£80+ per session. Since clients need multiple sessions (typically 6-12+), epilation provides good recurring revenue for London salons and specialists.
What equipment do I need after qualifying?
Professional electrolysis machines cost £800-£3,000+. You’ll also need disposable probes (£0.10-£0.30 each). Many practitioners start by working in salons with existing equipment before investing in their own for mobile or independent practice.
Can I do epilation on all skin types and hair colours?
Yes – unlike laser hair removal which works best on dark hair and pale skin, electrical epilation works on ALL hair colours (including blonde, red, grey, white) and ALL skin types. This makes it valuable for clients who can’t have laser treatments.
What’s the demand like for permanent hair removal in London?
Steady. While laser is popular, many clients need electrolysis for facial hair, blonde/grey hair, or small areas. There’s consistent demand for skilled epilation practitioners across London’s salons and clinics.
