She actually managed to turn a lousy situation (pun completely intended) into an almost pleasant experience! I cannot recommend her highly enough. By the way I only ever got a call back from one of the other places I called. And that was several hours after Marie left.

She got all the nits I'd missed (phew!). Leave them on for 45 minutes or so, rinse, done. It was very helpful having her come to us, so brownie points for home visit!

When communicated I was told I had to pay for another treatment which is $150. Definitely a money grab because you're only guaranteed if you come back 3 times within 10 days.... Claims that they "aren't out for our money" but that's literally why they oversell and then continue to call you to get you to spend MORE money. I'm not saying go to lice clincis of america because the heat is not the best for your hair but save your money!!

We had lice years ago and did the whole at home remedies and it didn't work. We then ended up going to some place near us in Berkeley that has since closed down and it got rid of the lice real quick. Cut to a month ago and we had lice, the whole fam... FUN! We called around and Lice Free was able to get us in the next morning and rid us of our lice in about an hour (and I have some thick, long hair). They start by combing out the nits and lice. They then put in this spray, they put ya under a heat lamp, and then they comb it out once more. Boom. They sold us what is some probably over-priced oil that we did a few times over the next few weeks. My head was itching abbot 3 weeks later and they told me that if I don't see a live bug, I'm good. However, I went in for the check-up regardless, and sure enough no lice. The check-up did cost $20, but is not charged if you indeed have lice, in which they give you a free treatment. *Within 30 days, I believe.

Started texting, they were able to fit us in same day, were were there by 4:30 for treatment. The air dry treatment was easy, the comb out was thorough (and hard to endure, very glad I wasn't trying to do it myself at home), the leave in oil treatment was unexpected. After we arrived I saw the advice to wear an old shirt - that is true! Anyone getting treated will get oil on their shirt and it will leave a grease stain. Expensive but worth it, and didn't seem more expensive than the other people I found on Yelp who charge by the hour to come to your home.

In the moment, I was…read morethrilled because not only did it feel thorough but I was comfortable because this company has a "100% guarantee." Unfortunately I found more lice in all 3 of my daughters hair roughly 2 weeks after our appointment. No problem, right!? This company has a 100% guarantee... WRONG! Apparently there is only a guarantee if a follow up appointment is booked the day of the original appointment. 1) I wish I knew this little caveat to the guarantee, and 2) why in the world would I book a follow up appointment on the day of my original appointment? I expected the problem to be solved right then and there. Given the problem wasn't taken care of the original visit, and this company had thrown a loophole in their guarantee policy, they deserve nothing more than 1 star. Do better.

She was helpful in answering questions and providing helpful tips and tricks. She was also able to provide us with certificates to allow the kids to return to school. My only reason for not giving us 5 stars is that this process seems overly cumbersome compared to others. For starters, it's a 3 day minimum (although we learned it often takes longer) process and each day you need to meticulously comb through the hair, wash with special shampoo/conditioner AND re-sanitize the sheets and bedding that was used. Every. Single. Day. The treatment does not kill the lice/nits it only stuns them. So essentially it's very likely that this treatment plan will drag on far longer than it would if you went to a clinic or chose something over the counter. My advice: seek a faster/effective treatment solution and save yourself (and your washer and dryer) lots of heartache.

I never had the opportunity to have lice during my childhood so when I got it and I went to my…read moredermatologist, he completely missed the fact and diagnosed me with some sort of eczema. The medicine he gave me wasn't working . It wasn't until I took my daughter for the same scalp itching to her doctor that her doctor diagnosed it immediately and looked at my scalp and told me I had lice. So I realize that kids being kids, especially girls, having sleepovers using the same pillows, hugging each other and rubbing their hair together, often sharing the same brush, and I'm assuming one of these things brought the lice to us. And now we try to be very careful about these things. Her doctor recommended Nitpixies and I have to say they are very good. I met the owner of Nitpixies, Kniji, and was very impressed by the business. She got rid of the lice and then we also bought the lice shampoo and conditioner and detangler just to use to try and avoid getting it again. Again, kids being kids, it's hard to stop them from being so close to each other. I really like the shampoo and conditioner smell. I would definitely go back if we got lice again. My hair is so long and thick that I can't comb it out myself. It isn't cheap, but it was definitely necessary. So once we found out that we had lice, we called all of our friends to let them know so that they could also get checked, and several of them also had lice so who knows who gave who the lice. But everyone got checked and cleaned. If you've never had lice before, it is really important to make sure you wash all your bedding in very hot water and take away all the things that lice can travel on. That was kind of stressful but again necessary.
