Professional Electrologist

Barbara Greathouse grew up in rural Kansas and has always been fascinated by the physical diversity of people. In 1980, she moved to the "big city" of Topeka, KS to begin practicing esthetics and discovered electrolysis as a profession. She is a charter member of the Kansas Association of Professional Electrologists and attends continuing education on a regular basis.

Since becoming an electrologist, she worked to attain licensing for Kansas electrologists, and to promote licensing, certification and professional standards for practitioners in other states.

After joining the American Electrology Association, she attained the credentials of Certified Professional Electrologist, became involved in the Infection Control Standards Committee and currently chairs the committee. Having worked with APIC and CDC in revising the Infection Control Standards for the Practice of Electrology, she was honored to travel to Japan and throughout the U.S. to present the new standards to electrologists. She was elected 1st Vice-President of the AEA in 2008. Barbara’s Electrology Clinic is located in Topeka, KS, learn more at: electrologyworks.com.
