Thank You San Diego Firefighters!

This week we would love to thank our city's firefighters! A scary gas leak on our block sent everyone into a communal panic and on a very busy day with lots of people coming in and out of buildings. When we went outside to investigate the smell we found that many of our other building neighbors were also outside trying to figure out where it was coming from. Lots of people called the fire department and within five minutes they came to our rescue! Everyone on La Jolla Blvd is thankful for their hard work and dedication to our city!  *Here is the link to our famous pandora playlist, the Jack Johnson Station. Our technitians and San Diego clients absolutely LOVE this station. Need to relax? Want to listen to happy music? Feel good today? Trust us, this station is for you 🙂 http://www.pandora.com/station/2535659168580516304

SF Hair Fairies and BG Hair Fairies team up for a School Screening!

  Did you know Hair Fairies offers two free HOURS of head lice screenings to schools? We were fortunate to have a school screening yesterday and we also held one today at a school who booked us last minute!   We had Hair Fairies specialists from our  San Francisco and Burlingame salons screen more than 500 students! Here's a pic from the head lice check!    We distributed Hair Fairies Burlingame and San Francisco salons addresses and phone numbers providing  parentsinformation on how to contact  either of our locations!  You can also check out our website at staging.hairfairies.com  to locate all of our salons and for more details.

You Can Do It!

Hair Fairies is always here to help whether you chose to have your family treated in our salon or you just want to come in for a little bit of guidance. You can stop by any of our salons and ask questions or even take a look at some of our sample lice. We have a great how-to tutorial on our website at staging.hairfairies.com which walks you through the removal process step by step.  Throughout the 16 years of business we have had moms treat their children at home and stop by with the towel they used so we can double check if what they found is in fact lice. Dandruff and dry scalp are often confused with lice, but we can show you the difference and help you with prevention. We receive pictures from people all over the world asking us to help identify activity they have found on a loved one’s head. Most of the time it ends up being fuzz, lint, or even sand, but just in case you need us remember we are always here and can provide treatments in-salon and through home visits. Whatever you need we are here to help!

San Mateo School Screening

Just recently, Hair Fairies Burlingame and SF teamed up to go to a school in San Mateo for a head lice screening. We checked the entire school and found a few positive cases of head lice. It is very important to get monthly checks, either at home or at school, to prevent any future outbreaks. Give us a call anytime for a screening at 650.340.9000

Myths

Everyone has different myths about head lice. One person will tell you that head lice can fly. Another will tell you they don't. There are so many different things you hear which leaves you not knowing what to believe. Our educated technicians  can tell you the correct information about head lice. You can read about head lice on our page: http://staging.hairfairies.com/ lice-facts.htm

Sleep Overs!

Sleep Overs   Did you know that head lice is commonly transferred during sleep overs??? A mom frantically visited us recently because her daughter had contracted lice during her birthday's sleep over party. We were able to calm down the mom and made her feel at ease during her daughter's comb out process by educating her about lice. We also advised the mom to contact the parents of the kids that attended the sleep over party to have them screened for lice. This would  eliminate the lice being passed back and forth between friends. The mom did as we asked, called the parents, and they brought their kids to our Hair Fairies salon in CT and everyone got screened. Those who tested positive got treated. Now they can all resume to their activities without having to worry about contracting lice from their circle of friends.  At Hair Fairies we advise to SPEAK UP and pass the word around when an outbreak occurs. Communication is key when dealing with  head lice!
