“To a Louse”- Poem- from Poet Robert Burns” Hair Fairies San Francisco

We had a client (a grandfather) who recommend a poem called "To a Louse" from a Scottish Poet name Robert Burns.  In the poem a louse is found in a woman's bonnet. The poet chastises the louse for not realizing how important his host is. He then realizes that to a louse we are all equal prey. He finally has the understanding that if we could see ourselves through others eyes (or the eyes of lice) we would lose our pretentions all together. O wad some Pow'r the giftie gie us To see oursels as ithers see us! It wad frae mony a blunder free us, An' foolish notion: What airs in dress an' gait wad lea'e us, An' ev'n devotion! English Translation: And would some Power the small gift give us To see ourselves as others see us! It would from many a blunder free us, And foolish notion: What airs in dress and gait would leave us, And even devotion! Fascinating and very philosophically natured!  We love it so much!  Thanks Mr. Grandfather client in recommending this to us!

Thank You for the lovely colorful drawings!

Our little Hair Fairies clients drew us pictures to put on our wall for the season!  We deeply appreciate these generous gifts.  If you step into any of our Hair Fairies Head Lice Salon Locations nationwide you'll get to see an abundance and array of different picture drawings.  Recently, after we treated a family for lice, the two daughters came up to one of our hair fairy technicians and presented these drawings.  Thank you and we'll gladly hang these onto our wall!  AND we love that they recommend us!!

This is how San Francisco Salon celebrated our 14th Birthday!

Happy birthday to Hair Fairies! We can’t believe 14 years has passed by us so quickly! It was a pleasant surprise for all our technicians when they came in Saturday morning for our monthly meeting and find cupcakes awaiting them. In celebration of Hair Fairies birthday each location had cupcakes ready for each technician. Here in San Francisco, we had red velvet, tiramisu, smores, and dark chocolate cupcakes with cream cheese frosting. The cupcakes were purchased from a popular cupcake company called “Cakos”. It was sure delicious! Thank you Hair Fairies and to our owner, Maria Botham, for letting all the hair fairy lice removal technicians join in the celebration. Happy birthday to us and many more years to come!

Hair Salons Recommended us! Hair Fairies San Francisco

Hair Fairies San Francisco lice salon had a client call us telling us that her hair dresser found something in her hair and needed us to confirm whether or not it was head lice. When she came in, we indeed found eggs in her hair. When we asked her what salon she came from, we realized that earlier that morning, we actually called that salon to tell them about our lice treatment services. What luck?! Hair Fairies dedicates time to spreading awareness about our services to: doctors, pharmacies, schools, and salons. We want make other companies aware that there are services that can eliminate head lice for families once and for all. Usually families try to battle head lice themselves and cannot get rid of the head lice 100%. We hope that our efforts enable everyone to be aware that they are not alone in the head lice removal process. So please call us if you have any questions, we are here to help!

“Thanks Jessica B. and Happy B-day! ” Hair Fairies San Francisco

Look what our lovely colleague brought to work yesterday!  It was Jessica's  Birthday and a cheesecake arrived!  Over the past weekend, the team (and company) had given Jessica flowers for her bday. We like to celebrate birthdays with our Hair Fairies lice treatment salons.  We couldn't think of anything better than to give all our technicians flowers on their birthdays from Hair Fairies. It was very kind for Jessica to return the favor by bringing in the cake.  It was delish!  The strawberries were whole, fresh, and very scrumdiddlyumptious ( Charlie and the chocolate factory reference) smiles! Just because we have to remove lice doesn’t mean that we can’t enjoy having some cake and eating it too!

“Did you know we have a video tutorial for lice removal in Espanol?!”

Did you know we have a online video tutorial both in English and in Spanish?!  Even at our Head Lice salon in San Francisco, we needed the help from our video in showing clients what we do.   We had a Spanish speaking family who were in need of a head lice treatment.  The mother, daughter, and grandmother barely spoke any English…so we showed them visually from our video how to comb and use our lice products.  We also took the lap top/notebook and showed them our lice removal tutorial in Spanish while we treated the daughter.  The family was so thankful! and who knew our online tutorial would come in handy even in the salon where we remove lice firsthand!

“Thank you for the Sift pastries, it was delish!

Thank you, thank you, & thank you from the bottom of our hearts!  Our lovely clients bought our team some pastries from Sift Bakery on California and fillmore street — just blocks away from our San Francisco lice treatment Salon.  We appreciate the thought and might we add that the cookies were delicious!  A mother actually had walked out to get her daughter a snack while she was being treated for head lice and she came back bearing cookies for our technicians. Such a gracious gesture!

It’s a S and V situation, and we love it! San Francisco Hair Fairies

We have a family named the S.'s who have been working with us since Dec 26th to get their daughter lice free from a month long infestation. They recommended that their close friends, the V.'s come in and get screened for lice as well. These two families scheduled their appointments at the same time for the Saturday after Christmas. This would be a second visit for Girl S. and a preliminary screening for Girl V. The V.'s arrived first with a big bag of presents that they hid under our salons tree. When the S. family came in everyone went to the treatment room to get started. There was also a third family there with a little girl. All three little ladies got very chatty- it was very cute. Then, after 45 minutes, Girl V. was declared not to be infested with lice but she stayed and waited for her friend to complete her visit. At one point Girl V. left the lice treatment room and returned with the bag of Christmas gifts. Girl S. squealed and asked if she could hold her gifts while getting treated and her mom and I responded that she could open them. It was adorable and a treat to be a part of their belated Christmas celebration. Girl S. was elated with her presents but was somehow able to keep the bouncy excitement to a minimum so that I could still continue to comb lice out of her hair and finish her treatment. I just couldn't help but share this story, it tugged at my heart strings so!
