Holiday Treats

Holiday Treats, It is always nice to know and feel appreciated, and that's how we feel at our Hair Fairies lice treatment salon in CT. The reason why, is because during the Christmas holidays we've received treats from our clients, people that show their appreciation by stopping by our salon to say their thanks for such a wonderful job we did for them.

Hair Fairies is magical just like FairyLand

We had our first child this week who told her parents that Hair Fairies is such a magical place just like fairyland!  We heard her dad telling her that when they enter  Hair Fairies it is just like Fairyland.  We treated them and when they left, the girl told her dad that Hair Fairies is just like what he had told her!

A Kind Gesture Goes a long way

We had a mom who asked us if she can get another client's name and address so she can send a personal thank you letter to the other mom.  The other mom had lent her a mini iPad so she could use it to book a hotel for their stay so they can finish up their treatments at hair fairies the next day.  It was very kind of both moms (who didn't know each other) but they both understood what head lice entails and the stress they can incur. It just goes to show that a kind gesture can go a long way even for head lice treatments. 

A Convenient Move to the States

A Convenient Move to the States A few weeks ago I noticed a family moving into the apartment above Hair Fairies Chicago.  One mom and 5 kids. I told myself jokingly I would definitely be seeing them in here. A few times she came in to ask a couple neighborly questions as she was putting her stroller on our back porch so she didn't have to carry it up 3 flights of stairs :)) Well just a couple days ago she came in and said she needed our help with treating her daughter and herself. I advised her to screen the boys too, even though she said she treated them already. The boys actually needed treatment with mom (not badly) and the daughter was clear. As we were treating them we found out that they just moved from Germany and she had to look up the word lice in English because she just thought we were a hair salon haha.  We had a great interaction with her and she will always be thankful for convenient move ins!!! -HFChi

Do pets get head lice?

One of our most common questions is can my dog catch lice? I'm always snuggling with him. OR can my cat catch lice. She sometimes lays on my bed. Head lice cannot be “caught” from pets and cannot survive on pets, so NO pets cannot get head lice. Head lice are human parasites and require human blood for survival.

Santa Saturdays

Santa Saturdays This is Brad are Saturday Santa! While standing outside with our Hair Fairies sign a gentleman asked if I would please get into his car for a picture he was wanting to capture… "The Cali Santa Vibe".  I was just as excited about this since he now has the perfect Christmas card for his family members and a gorgeous car!

Some important facts

Head lice are small insects that live on the head because the blood runs closer to the surface than anywhere else in the body, which is why head lice only live on the head. When a person has head lice, what makes them itchy is not the eggs. What makes your head itchy is the bites left behind when the bug feeds off your head. Head lice spread mostly from head to head contact. Head Lice DO NOT fly or jump. Many people still believe this to be true, but lice only crawl. One last important fact, people do not get head lice because they are dirty, head lice actually prefer a clean head because it is easier for the bug to move around and for them to attach their eggs to your hair shaft.  

Our Goal

A client came into Hair Fairies because her daughter had head lice. Immediately when she came in, she said "Wow! This place is really nice!" She told me that the place looked so cozy and so kid-friendly. She was even more impressed when she saw the different kinds of entertainment we had for the children to use while they were being treated. Once I was done, she thanked me and said she was so happy that we were here to help her with this problem. Here at Hair Fairies we aim to make our clients happy and resolve their head lice problem. 

different cultures

  Different Cultures, Here at Hair Fairies CT we like sharing stories and talking about different cultures and traditions during Christmas and Chanukah. I have to say that there is a lot to learn from the children that come to our salon, like for example, we have dreidels here for the children to take home if they want to play with them or if they practice judaism, but we didn't know how to play with them so I asked one of our little clients to show me how to play with it. He said that you want to play it with chocolate coins and you get to eat the chocolate at the end. It was very interesting learning about it. We love sharing our traditions at Hair Fairies CT!!!

“Air kisses instead of Hugging”

You know how we have our little cute Hair Fairies saying at our location.  For example, "A Bug can spread a Hug,"  We over heard from a family that their school now is encouraging "Air Kisses" instead of hugging!  We laughed on the floor when it was mentioned, and decided to blog about it!!  We can give it a little love and say, "Air Kisses instead of hugging shows more love!"  How do you like that one? smiles!  LOL
