Why we created this scholarship

We are so incredibly passionate about the beauty industry and the difference it makes to people's lives. Every day in clinic we see what the right treatment can do - a client who finally feels confident without makeup, someone who no longer spends every morning managing unwanted hair, a person who looks in the mirror and loves what they see for the first time in years. These moments are why we do what we do.

Electrolysis is the only method of permanent hair removal and it is truly life-changing. Clients come to us after years of managing hair that affects their confidence, their wellbeing and how they feel in their own skin. As an electrologist you give people that freedom while building a rewarding career you can be proud of.

We believe the cost of training should never be the reason a passionate future electrologist doesn't get started. The Dermaskin Electrolysis Scholarship is our way of opening the door for someone who shares our love for this industry. It is the first step in our commitment to giving back to the industry and community that have supported us for more than 30 years.

What the scholarship covers

Full tuition for the Dermaskin 4-unit electrolysis pathway (Stream 1 - New to Industry), delivered in partnership with our RTO partner Parramatta Community College (RTO 90276).
