This weekend we had a client who had been dealing with something in her home that she had never seen. She said it was a mystery bug that was coming out of the vents, it hung out in her cabinets and she constantly saw it in her room. Having never dealt with head lice, she convinced herself that both her home and her hair were infested with lice! After a frantic phone call, she came into Hair Fairies and got screened. 15 minutes later she was confirmed to NOT have head lice. She politely asked to be double checked for her sanity and so we checked her with 100% accuracy and the verdict was the same as before —- head lice free! Even before she got out of the chair she called an exterminator right away! Hair Fairies is always more than happy to help you through your head lice problem…wether or not you have one!

Our infamous technician Nadia has done it again! At 4'11 she brings smiles to every last one of her clients and co-workers. From fixing toilets, to making us gourmet grilled cheese sandwiches, she 5 ft (almost!) of pure awesomeness! This past week she got interact with a 5 and 3/4th year old (measured to his specifications) who had just lost his first tooth. Since losing his first chomper he felt it was only appropriate if he paired his new grin with a new do. Unfortunately his hair was a little too long for the rock star mohawk he was looking for, but Nadia got to thinking of ways to grant his little wish! Fairy dust! And tons of it! One blow dry and a green bottle of Fairy dust, Ry's mohawk stood on top of his head in all it's 'little biker' glory! He kindly credited Nadia for all her hard work and told her that even she deserved a candy from the candy bucket…well done Nadia, well done.
Holidays bring families close, and in some cases, dealing with head lice can be too close for comfort. In Dallas, a frantic mom called to share that her daughter's daycare called and informed her that they noticed lice. So, she rushed to bring her 14 month old daughter into Hair Fairies. I have to say she was the cutest and well behaved baby. She sat up so good without support, and allowed me to do our famous Nit Zapping Process. She even had her first lolly pop! After I treated daughter, mom and dad were both checked and treated as well. While leaving the salon she told me that, they are holiday ready now! They are no longer afraid of giving lice to family members during the holidays! Especially since baby girl will be in many arms to love.
What is everyone looking forward to the most on Thanksgiving? That delicious feast! (And to say thanks, of course!) At the Hair Fairies in SD we are looking forward to our mini-Thanksgiving feast as well. We were having a lot of trouble coming up with what each one of us should bring: Italian food? Cuban food? Greek food? We were trying to stay away from the turkey, since we were all having dinner with our families the next day. So…what do we all like? MEXICAN FOOD! Initially we felt we could only eat something similar to a Thanksgiving feast but when we thought about it, it isn't about what food you will be eating, but the people you'll be with, and how everyone will be thankful for so many things! We settled on a 'Enchilada casserole' , 'Frijoles charros' (refried beans with chorizo and cheese) 'Arroz Rojo' , 'Pollo con papas' & for dessert we decided to go a classic route and stick with apple pie! As we are very thankful for our jobs this year, Hair Fairies says THANK YOU to all our amazing clients! -Hair Fairies SD
A client brought me a card to show how much she appreciates our services. We're always happy to leave our clients happy and satisfied with our services. Our motto is to care, nurture and educate.
Love Bug??????? Recently we treated a girl who was heavily infested with lice (hundreds of bugs!!!). Mom had struggled with attempting to remove these pests on her own but was unsuccessful. Prior to this lice infestation mom always called her daughter "BUG" as a term of endearment. She said this experience with lice has forced her to retire that name because she didn't want to have to "add money to her daughter's therapy jar" after this unforgettable experience. CT!!!
The Lice Connection Who would of thought Lice brings Tech & clients together. I am doing my 2 week working interview for the Chi Manager position…which I will get ;-). I have noticed friendships and lasting relationships have been the outcome. Individuals to a family of 7 have came in with low spirits. The techs are there to pick their spirits up, engage in conversations where each tech learns something abut that individual in the chair. Also, most importantly educates them on lice. Which they like to look at the samples of lice on the card. Lice that has been removed from there hair. Techs use that as a another form of educating. Its fun, entertaining, relaxing and a experience to remember. Once client is checked out and lice free, they leave with a peace of mind and friendships.
We are excited for the new chair set up! We also recieved two new salon chairs, so now our salon in Burlingame can service more clients! Yay!
As a father waited for his daughter to be treated, he colored in a picture of a fairy. He did a beautiful job coloring the picture, and wrote a funny quote next to the fairy.
If you read the fine print you will know that these coupons are in parent magazine! We had two clients who came in for screenings and they left with free checks! One client was a teacher and the other mom just wanted her daughter for a screening! If you also read the print, we just opened up one more hair fairies location in Northern California! Hair fairies is now in San Francisco and Burlingame!
