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!

I originally booked for 4 people on Saturday, but they could only treat 2 because a technician didn't show up. The technician on Saturday specifically rescheduled all 4 of us for Sunday to make it right. When we showed up Sunday, the exact same thing happened. They told us they could only do 2 treatments again. When we explained that we were specifically told to come back today for the full group, the technician was incredibly rude. They told us it was our choice to get 2 done or 'just go somewhere else.' Instead of being empathetic or apologetic that we had wasted two days in a row, the staff was angry and defensive, claiming it wasn't their fault because they 'weren't there yesterday.' Dealing with lice is already a nightmare; dealing with this level of unprofessionalism and rudeness makes it a hundred times worse. Don't waste your time and money here --go somewhere that actually honors their appointments and treats customers with respect.

They made me feel safe in the chair while my kids were not in eye sight as they kept checking on them too. Michelle and James are the best and I would recommend them to any mom or person.

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!

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.
