FAIRY TIME BLOG INFORMATION AND UPDATES ABOUT HAIR FAIRIES

Pictures say a thousand words!

  We at Hair Fairies love when our little clients draw pictures and write beautiful stories about their experiences with us. We appreciate the fairy drawings, hearts and happy faces that they make while here for treatment, we also enjoy the hugs and excitement they have when their treatment is finished. We like to show our appreciation in return by offering a prize from our Hair Fairies treasure box. Feel free to pick out a prize, or if you would rather, a treat from our candy bowl. The most important thing we give to families, however, is a lifetime 20% discount for future treatments once fully treated by Hair Fairies. Hope you don't need it but just in case we are always here to help…:-)

Cheerleader Spirit

Everyday we meet clients with outstanding personalities. Last week I had the honor of meeting a beautiful little girl who happened to be a competitive cheerleader. She showed me how to do a cart wheel with no hands! At Hair Fairies we not only remove head lice, we connect with each and every client. We build memories. We CHEER for LICE FREE CLIENTS!   

No Big Deal

It is always important to tell your children that head lice is not a big deal so that children don't feel uneasy and embarassed about head lice. Head lice is something that can happen to anyone. Anyone can get lice, and the myths about head lice due to hygiene are not true. Lice prefer clean hair. Head lice is nothing to feel embarassed about. Most people get head lice at least once in their life time. 

Where is the love?

Where is the Love?   What is the most difficult part of having lice? Not being able to snuggle. Almost every family that comes into the salon for treatment finds that the worst part about having head lice is that they are no longer able to snuggle. If one of the kids has it and the other doesn't, then they don't want them all cuddling together. Siblings miss hugging each other, grandparents can't share their love, where is the love? That's why we do what we do here at Hair Fairies, to get rid of head lice and bring back the love! 

Our clients are all special to us!

At Hair Fairies we come across different people with different situations, but everyone shares the same predicament. We consider it very important to be polite and treat every person we come across with the utmost respect. My team and I are rewarded everyday when a client that is lost and stressed out, tells us how much they appreciate us and our service. They show us their appreciation in many different forms: letters, surveys, phone calls, referrals and most of all hugs :-)….

Precious moments at Hair Fairies!!!

Treating a small child with head lice can be difficult at times. It is important to think of ways to make them sit still and feel comfortable. In one situation, I was treating an adorable 2 yr old girl who followed everything her sister did. Once I noticed this I used it to help me treat her. She and her sister sat next to each other, watched dvd's together and had the same snacks. As I was treating I kept reminding her of how she was a big girl like her sister and asking her questions about the movie she was watching. During the treatment I put her hand on my face because she wanted to turn around and touch my face for comfort. The treatment went well and when she came back she ran to me for a tight hug and kissed my face. Said she was a big girl and I could check her. The second treatment was just as wonderful as the first one. She sat next to her sister, with her dvd and snack. Every min she reached to touch my face for comfort and I was delighted. Precious moments like that makes my job worth it.  

Hair Fairy Godmother

"Hair Fairy Godmothers" One of our clients first came to Hair Fairies last year for treatment just after finding out that they would be bringing in a new addition to their family. Ten months later, the day their bundle of joy was scheduled to be welcomed into the world, the same clients returned to receive treatment again. They had the misfortune of getting lice from a school mate again. The clients were so grateful to be able to rely on us both at the beginning and end of their pregnancy saying that we just have that "magic touch." It's important to us that our clients know that we're here to wave our magic wands and remove lice even when life gets a little bit hectic. We also reminded them to use our Prevention Oil, keep hair pulled back, and use our Lice Repellent Spray to help them stay lice free.

Lice Don’t Take Vacations

Summer vacation is in full swing. Kids are going to camps, having sleepovers, visiting family, and going on trips, but while the kids are on vacation, lice are not. Lice is prevalent year round keeping us Hair Fairies very busy! With the rush of clients coming in for pre-camp screenings and checks for good measure, we take each client’s needs into serious consideration when booking appointments this summer!
