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.

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.

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.
