36 Years of Achievements at AIE

On this our 36th anniversary, we want to express appreciation to everyone who has supported us over these three-and-a-half decades.

Years before this anniversary, it became apparent that we were attracting students who were aligned with our founding core principles. 

Our Core Principles

Our principles speak to fairness, transparency and consideration for our student’s resources and for who they are as individuals.

A living example of our core principles is our lineup of instructors. They are all experienced, practicing Electrologists and former AIE graduates! They bring real world experience into our school along with first hand appreciation of every student’s needs.

At AIE, we want all of our students to be successful. Our program was created to provide the best possible learning experience, without burying students in debt upon graduation.

Interest-free Tuition Financing

By customizing payment options to match each student's financial circumstances, we have enabled more students to attend our Electrology program than any other school in the U. S.

We believe that tuition funding programs should not penalize students who want to improve themselves, by imposing interest on their training costs. Our pay-as-you-go payment plan is delivered in-house, free of interest and can extend beyond graduation.

Honesty and Transparency

Unlike our competitors who wholesale Electrology equipment and supplies, we do not make wholesale profit on our students' necessary purchases, specifically their most expensive purchase, their epilators.

AIE students deal directly with the manufacturers of epilators and other supplies used in our school clinic and they purchase at pre-arranged discounted prices.

Adding a wholesale profit margin on equipment and supplies to the cost of tuition, unnecessarily burdens each student by increasing the cost of the entire educational experience.

Non-Discrimination Policy

We do not discriminate on the basis of race, creed, color or sexual orientation. We are LGBTQ friendly and have had more transgender students than any other school in California, beginning in the late 80's to the present day.

A List of Achievements Over Our 36 Year History

AIE is the first and only California Licensed Electrology School to:

• Own more epilators, both in brands and numbers, than any Electrology school west of the Mississippi. We can speak to value for money spent.
  

It has been a pleasure and an honor to know and work with each and every one of our graduates. 

To those reading this today, who may be considering a career as a licensed professional Electrologist, know that we will accommodate you along with any specific requirements and together, we will reach your goal of success in this profession.
