I feel compelled to write this review after an extremely negative, predatory experience with Hair…read moreFairies. Upon being notified by a third party, we booked a same day appointment for a 1 hour lice removal treatment that is listed clearly on their website as costing $135. See link and I have taken a screenshot. As soon as my daughter and I walked through the door, the assigned technician Jen, began aggressively pressuring me to screen myself and book screenings for my husband and second child, at $60 each. She outlined their policy of free repeat treatments if every family member is screened and a re-infestation occurs. I thanked her for the info and let her know we'd decide and may choose to conduct our own screens, but she would not relent. I finally asked her to please focus on my child and get started and that I would decide later. Jen asked if I had any questions and was talkative and opinionated. She said OTC treatments like Nix are toxic and that Hair Fairies only use a gentle leave in conditioner that loosens the glue of the lice / eggs followed my manual lice combing to remove lice/eggs. She also claimed that lice have become resistant to the active ingredient in Nix. In the first 30 minutes, Jen found 3 "eggs" that looked like specks of dandruff, no lice. She commented that it was a "very early and mild infestation" and then handed over to another technician. This new technician over the course of 45 minutes, found a grand total of .......zero eggs and zero lice. As 45m had passed with this new tech, I asked if treatment was complete, and she didn't have a clue. I then spoke to her colleague who informed me that due to my daughter's hair length, our treatment would be 3 hours!! I was shocked and went to the front desk to let them know only 3 eggs had been found in the first 30m, and that continuing to comb my poor daughter's hair for another 110 minutes seemed beyond unnecessary. I also noted that I had originally booked for 1 hour and $135, as listed on their website of services. The response I received was an aggressive "but you didnt book through the website did you?? You booked on the phone" -- to which I responded "yes and I clearly referenced the 1 hour, $135 treatment when I called". As it turns out, we were being charged by the HOUR, only no one could tell me what the hourly rate was. They kept referring to my daughter as a "moderate" infestation and when I repeated that it was THREE "eggs" and no lice, which seemed minor / mild if anything, esp in comparison to the children seated alongside us with 30 eggs and as many as 40 lice detected. For 75m of "treatment" aka combing with a lice comb and abundant conditioner, we were charged a mind boggling $202. Had we done 3 hours of treatment (which isn't even listed on their website), I estimate it would be an ADDITIONAL $296 (this is based on the following math 110m/75m x $202 since no one could give me an actual answer in store). They wrote me a card saying my child is 100% clear of head lice, noting only 3 eggs, no bugs were found and that our treatment was incomplete because I chose to conclude it at 75m not 3 hours. I am shocked and disappointed at the flat out dishonesty on pricing, duration and process, and the mischaracterization of 3 eggs / no lice as a "moderate infestation". I am really saddened that a local vendor would prey on families in this manner. Even if someone has $678 to spend on screening three family members and treating one family member ($60x3 for screenings and $202 + $296 for treatment) -- then there needs to be clear and proactive communication. That way, one can make an informed decision, esp vis-a-vis the many other options that exist including a $10 lice comb and an $18 OTC treatment. This is beyond predatory, it is false price listing and illegal under the FTC.

When we found lice in our kids' hair, we went through all the feelings: shock, ick, anxiety, panic…read moreand helplessness. The first course of action we took was to use the store-bought remedies. That took a couple of hours because we had to do all four of our heads (treatment, rinsing, combing, etc). While we felt somewhat better, I couldn't help but think in the back of my mind that it wasn't completely done. I started going down a rabbit hole of lice remedies on the internet (as one does nowadays) and saw a couple of mentions of the Lice Clinics of America. I was so happy to see that there was a location close to us AND that they had some evening hours. But the thing that really pushed me to sign up with them was the one-and-done guarantee for lice treatments. I just didn't have the mental energy to deal with having lice anymore and I wanted them GONE. So I booked sessions for everyone the next day. The process itself is really easy - they tell you what to do for your hair after the treatment and how to clean out your home as well. My kids sat through their sessions, with the help of the iPads they provided. And at the end of it all it was great knowing that we had the 30 day guarantee of the treatment. I also decided to sign up both of my kids for the monthly subscriptions so we could have them checked for free once a month. I am really really hoping we never have to use the 2 yearly treatments that are included in the subscription. We have gone pretty much every month for checks, and I always breathe a sigh of relief when they are cleared. Thank you Lice Clinics of America!

After a particularly grueling flight, I took BART home from SFO. Typically, I don't sit, much less put my bag on the seat and fall asleep, but I did this time, I was just way too tired. A few weeks later I noticed an incredibly itchy scalp. My fear was confirmed by what I saw on my pillow. Lice. As a grown-up. My first intuition was to just burn everything and shave my head bald but once reasoning and common sense kicked back in, I went on Yelp and found an organic solution, NitNurses(I'm hyper-sensitive to chemicals). They were also running a 40% off offer so I went with it. As embarrassing as it is for an adult, they were very friendly, understanding and professional and made me feel comfortable. They took care of me and told me what I had to do with my sheets, etc. To prevent a possible re-infestation. If this happens to you or if you have kids, I'd definitely recommend checking them out.

My two boys had never had it, and as a kid, I got it once, and my memories of my Mom and the RID she used with the little comb and me crying- I was not prepared and trying not to freak out!

She was instantly likable, professional, and the first few moments she set foot in our house, we all felt - "ok, we are gonna be ok!" My daughter was very nervous, but she loved her, as did my 9 yr old son and my teenage son, all chatting away with her and laughing, as she checked the whole family. She was very thorough and gentle and super professional. This situation seriously started out as a damn nightmare for us, but we became educated and learned this is very common, we didn't do anything wrong, and it is a problem we can try and avoid in the future with some attention and care from the tips Ava gave us, but feeling like if it does happen again-we know who to call to help! While we hope to never get lice again- we all felt we made a friend in Ava and she will be the FIRST person I will recommend to friends and family, and the relief she has left us with has been totally worth the money spent!!! Thank you Ava!!!! Life Saver!!!!

I chose to purchase the recommended products so I can give my girls a quick spritz of the preventative detangler in the morning before school, and give backpacks and jackets a spritz of the repellent spray every few days, just in case they get exposed again. It's not cheap but it's worth it for the peace of mind. And the pricing was very clear and transparent so I had a good idea of what to expect. Worth every penny!
