Today we had a family show up bright and early at 9:00am at our Chicago lice treatment salon.
Knowing we didn't have any clients until 10:00am, I thought to myself
we may have an emergency walk in…only to find out when I opened the
door I was met with a person saying ''Do you have time this morning for
two blow outs and two haircuts?'' I say, I'm sorry miss we are not that
kind of salon. We are a clinical salon solely dedicated to head lice
removal. After that was said the mom and her mother (grandma) in
disbelief both stare are each other confused. ''You what?!'' Yes, mam we
specialize in treating head lice and that is it. Right away she wanted
to know all the information on what we do because she has never even
heard of a salon like this. At one point she said you're okay with
touching and looking at bugs all day?! I gladly answered for myself (and
on behalf of the staff) that we are proud of what we do. We help out
with frantic parents who don't know what to do when it gets out of hand
or if it's their first experience with it AND we LOVE what we do.
Happily (and being so fascinated with what we do) she asked me kindly
for a business card and any other information we can provide. She right
away said I'm definitely going to keep this salon in mind because I have
a lot of little nieces and nephews and even friends with little kids.
All I could do was smile and say while all of us were laughing… “that's great and thank you for coming to the wrong salon.” Funny what you may find out by stepping foot into the wrong salon!
