Not knowing what to expect a frantic mother and daughter where apprehensive about coming into a head lice removal salon. It wasn't long before our warm and caring lice technicians put their fears at ease. Before they knew it, they were laughing up a storm and were relieved to hear it was a false alarm. As they were leaving they came and thanked us all and said they had a great time. Mom says "no pun intended, but you can tell you are a "CLOSE-NIT" family in here. Laughter soars and they walk away smiling with a piece of mind.

Finding out you have head lice is never a fun thing. It is even more stressful when you do research online and find out a lot of contradictory information. For example, how long can a louse live in the environment? A) 1 month B) 2 weeks, or C) 48 hours? Needless to say, this is very confusing. Which article is accurate? When we started this company, we noticed how much false information was out there, which is why we went had Harvard run studies to find out the facts about head lice. Recently, one of our clients had a brilliant idea. We should have our own board game. A fun way to educate yourself/ family about head lice and still have a fun family night.
When dealing with head lice, it is extremely important that you notify everyone you/ your family have been around since the infestation began. Recently, we had a family come in who had a mild infestation. Only one member of the family had head lice. We told the parents that they should contact everyone the little girl had hung out with in the last 3 weeks. They said they didn't want to because they didn't want people to know that she had head lice. The problem here is that the little girl got head lice from somewhere, probably by one of her friends she hangs out with. If you don't let people know, and another child has it that your child hangs out with, they will probably keep giving it back and forth to one another. Needless to say, the family came back this week and everyone had it for about 2 weeks. There is nothing to be ashamed of when getting head lice. Usually its the child given it to the parents. The reason being is because the older you are, the more you respect personal space, which isn't always the case for younger individuals. If your child does get head lice, it just means they are sociable and have friends.

We have been treating a lot of clients from one school. The other day our techs were treating two friends at our Head Lice Salon and one girl tells her friend non-nonchalantly, " Hair Fairies is great, I didn't know how pleasant this feels" and her friends replies, "I agree." We couldn't help but agree with them! We try to make the experience as pleasant as possible so it all puts smiles on our faces 🙂
We had many clients coming in to compliment on our vase of decorative flowers! It was lend to us by floral design San Francisco, a company that will give you a monthly vase of flowers for a monthly fee. They are lending this to us for a week or two and it was a nice decorative piece next to our candy tray for clients! Loves it!
We had a school screening yesterday and almost all the staff had head lice. It was a good opportunity to help educate the teachers to put their hair up in buns and braids when they are working with their students especially preschool and elementary. We also were able to get them help and their school will be working with us in the future. It's a great partnership and we are glad they have us in their books!
Clients always ask me are head lice dangerous, or can I get any diseases from head lice. Lice aren't dangerous and they don't spread disease. They are contagious because it spreads from head to head. Their bites may cause a child's scalp to become itchy and inflamed, and persistent scratching may lead to skin irritation and even infection.
A family came to Hair Fairies because both of their daughters were itchy, and they felt that the girls may have head lice but the school nurse had checked the girls numerous times and said that the girls just needed a dandruff shampoo. Months had gone by using the dandruff shampoo, and the girls were still itching. The older daughter was developing a large allergic reaction to the bites, and started getting hives behind her ears and neck. The family were desperate not knowing what to do. Their younger daughter was due for her regular check up and the pediatrician referred her to Head Lice Professionals called Hair Fairies. The whole family was checked and everyone had it. Once we were done, we were able to conclude that they had gotten head lice more than 6 months ago. The nurse which is very good at what she does is not a Head Lice Professional and was telling the family that the girls did not have head lice when they in fact did. The older daughter gave me a hug when they returned. She was so happy that the itchiness from her head had gone away.
