Kindness Goes a Long Way

Hair Fairies Customer Service doesn't stop when we leave! While shipping off products at the post office, I noticed a lady who was having a difficult time filling out her forms, with over 15 people in line; I asked did she need help. She was on the edge of tears and said, "Thank you so much for asking me, I really need help." She then asked me where I worked and I told her, "Hair Fairies, we remove head lice!" Later that week she showed up to our salon with a Scentsy with oils, to fill our salon with the feeling of summer breeze! Thank you Beverly. We love it!!!! 

Super Lice?!

After being in this industry for so long, we have definitely noticed how lice has built up a resistance to the Over-The-Counter treatments that can be purchased at any pharmacy. Almost every time we get a client that has used the OTC products at home prior to coming in, we still find live crawling lice. It just comes to show that lice are quite resilient and can resist most at home treatments being done. When it really comes down it, the thorough combing along with our product ensure Hair Fairies clients are lice free. If you are ever in need of our assistance, please feel free to call any of our locations at 877.285.0069 or visit our website at staging.hairfairies.com

Unexpected Reunion

  Unexpected Reunion   It is not uncommon for our clients to feel embarrassed to be in our chairs no matter how often we remind them of how common head lice can be. As two of our clients sat in chairs side by side, they looked at each other feeling a sense of familiarity, turns out they were in the same class in high school 20 years ago. The two clients laughed as they discussed how strange that this incident managed to reunite them.

Head lice knowledge rubs off

Last Friday the entire San Diego staff had our monthly screenings and we all came up with the brilliant idea of tricking our boyfriends into thinking we had given them head lice. One boyfriend didn't buy it, another one was bald, but the other two (who also happen to be best friends) really surprised us. I told him I had lice and he immediately told his best friend who responded with "I don't have it because I'm not itchy" One would think that when you talk about your long day working at Hair Fairies, your boyfriend might space out a bit but my proud 'doesn't-stop-talking-about- head-lice' moment paid off when he told his best friend "Itching isn't an immediate sign of having head lice and you might not itch for a while when you catch it" It pays to educate the ones around you about all the interesting lice facts! 

End of Summer

August and September are our busiest months of the year with kids coming back from camp, and children starting school. Parents remember to continuously use the prevention oil every morning to prevent your children from getting head lice. 

New Super Lice

People are becoming scared of a new "super bug" that is being reported on the news. It is not a new species of head lice, just like any other pest and rodent, with time, bugs build a resistance to pesticides so they will no longer kill them. This is why Hair Fairies' treatment is so effective, because we do not kill lice, we remove the lice and nits from the hair by combing with our Nit Zapping Clenz Cream and lice comb until you are completely clear. 

Cruel Joke

There's nothing like hearing your Hair Fairy Technician tell you "You're lice free!" It doesn't take a Hair Fairy Technician very long to screen someone for head lice, but for the client in the chair the minutes might seem like hours! After a long battle with head lice, the R family finally came to Hair Fairies to be professionally treated. Our client E had a very moderate case, so her mother made a follow up appointment just to be on the safe side, even though only one treatment was required. Mom and little sis went down the street for a coffee and E turned around and told me "if I am clear don't say anything to my mom." 24 minutes later, she was in fact clear and E could not be more excited to see her mom! When mom walked through the door E gave her the saddest look ever and said "Guess what?" Moms face went blank for a second and then E said "I have….NOTHING!" We all started laughing and E's mom said that her heart had stopped! It's nice to know that little ones can find funny humor in these kind of situations, and Hair Fairies is always happy to help!
