Especially if you are dealing with lice for the first time, I highly recommend calling Christina…read morefrom Lice spa. My daughter said a bug dropped from her hair to her desk. I quickly tried to google some pictures and look through her hair. It seemed like she had nits but I wasn't confident and was mostly in denial. Christina arrived at our home on a Sunday evening within 1.5 hrs after hanging up the phone. Everyone in our family got checked and treated. The removal process involved saturating hair, dividing in sections and meticulously combing through to get nits and lice. We learned so much from her during the hours she was at our house - watching her method to remove, learning about lice, its lifecycle, how it spreads, how to eradicate and clean the house. She was a former science teacher and it shows in terms of knowledge and being great with kids. Even though she did a very thorough job during her initial visit, you should have the expectation to need to do continued treatments (put product in hair and comb through section by section) in the following days and weeks. We did a follow up check 4 days later for additional peace of mind.

Ugh, I'm sorry you've been graced by lice…read more The go-to advice will be to go to Lice Clinics of America, which we dutifully did two months ago. We thought the 30 day guarantee would be good. And paid $200 a head to get the treatment. But the lice came back (or never left) and when we went in for the follow up treatment, because my bald husband hadn't also been treated, the guarantee wasn't honored. So we paid again. And the lice remained or came back. By month 3, when we found lice AGAIN, I was despondent. How much time can a person spend on laundry, on driving, on waiting, on dealing with this pest? I was amazed to find Christina. For $150/hr she comes to your house (at 8 pm!) and can check every person and comb out the nits. This ended up being way more time and cost efficient. Plus she is interesting, professional and capable. I had one treatment at LCA with a tech who seemed very disinterested, who didn't believe me when I brought in a louse in scotch tape and said he didn't see any on my head so it was probably just a one-off. Christina comes with a completely different air. She even comes with a microscope that examines the louse so you can see what stage it is in. The treatment involves a follow up comb out 4-6 days later. So glad we did this as well because she found the microscopic nits that weren't large enough to comb out the first time (and which is probably why at LCA we kept having the lice come back). So there really is no comparison here. We are lucky to have Christina in our area to offer this service. Wishing you a complete riddance of the lice, fellow reader!

This was our second visit to the San Bruno location of Lice Clinics of America - lice has…read moreunfortunately been going around our school - and we've had smooth, professional experiences each time. While this is not a business anyone *wants* to visit, they provide a valuable service that is worth the expense. The process is as follows: they first do a lice check, then - if you have lice - a heat treatment that kills nits (lice eggs) and lice, then they comb the hair out with special chemicals, and finally, they put an oil treatment in the hair that also kills lice. The oil treatment must be left on for an hour, then washed out at home with a clarifying shampoo. (They recommend doing a follow up oil treatment at home once a week for the four following weeks.) The clinic is pricey, but I appreciate the "heavy lifting" they take care of and the peace of mind the service provides. The online appointment booking process was easy, and we were in and out in less than an hour.

It's traumatizing and exhausting for all of us. Friends of ours, a family of four, just had a lice outbreak in their family and it took them over a month and $1000 to get rid of it. They liked the place they went to but it was expensive. Not anymore. For a comparatively affordable rate, this place totally cleans everything out so that there is no need for continued combing and they do it without any poisonous chemicals. The folks here were friendly, kind, and helpful. We brought our two kids, and the staff were so easy-going that our kids were able to sit still for two hours! Of course, it helped that they had Kid friendly devices for them. It's a nice touch. I'm writing this six weeks after our purchase. Everything went perfectly. We had to wash everything, but we only had to do it once. The days of rotating bedding, washing every towel after each single use, combing through hair twice a day, are over!

Would definitely call her again although due to her treatment and being able to keep the products for self care I don't think I will be having this problem again! She is also very knowledgeable about these little buggers and teaches you how to maintain your care! 10/10 would recommend!!
