Familiar faces

Familiar Faces,   Here at the Hair Fairies lice treatment salon in CT we had a family that had been to our other location in New york city two years ago to treat her family for head lice. When she walked in our location here in CT she was so happy to see me (Lourdes) because I was the one that had treated her daughter two years ago. She loved our Hair Fairies salon here in Connecticut and said that at least this time she didn't have to panic because she knew she was in good hands.

Kids dancing to our music

Kids Dancing To Our Music   Kids are enjoying themselves when they come to Hair Fairies treatment salon in CT.  We had the pleasure of having three kids that happen to love music and know the lyrics of most the songs playing on the radio. They sang and sang while being treated for head lice, and once their treatment was done they got up and started dancing to the rhythm of the music and celebrating that they were lice free. This is what I call making the best of your day!!!!

Vacation Madness

A family comes to New York on vacation from Italy. While enjoying visiting all of NY's landmarks their 2 year old keep telling her father that her head is itchy. Dad figures that it is the different climate. He tells his little one that they will wash her hair and the itching will go away. The next day their 7 year old starts complaining that her head is itching. But mom and dad still believe it is because of the climate change and jet lag. While visiting The Museum of Natural History  the 7 year old goes up to her parents and says "mama, papa I found this in my head." Mom immediately recognizes the little bug as head lice since she had had it as a kid. They went to Duane Reade and bought a lice shampoo that they believe would get rid of the lice. Mom and Dad treated both girls and Dad treated mom who also had it. They did the combing everyday until they realized it wasnt working the lice was not going away but their vacation was quickly dwindling away. They decided to go online and look up ways to get rid of head lice and they came upon Hair Fairies and were astonished to see that there were salons that rid you of head lice since there are none in Italy. Dad comes in with the 2 year old and tells me how he's been treating his daughter but that the nits are so close to the scalp that he can't get rid of them. I look in the 2 year olds hair and see tiny head lice on her scalp and ask Dad if this is what he couldn't get out of his daughter's head. He tells me yes and couldn't believe that they were actually bugs and not the nits. Once the lice treatment is complete he decides he definitely must bring in his other daughter and his wife. They all come in for treatment and the family was just happy that they could enjoy the last few days lice free before going back to Italy.

�Fish tail braids are A-okay!� Hair Fairies San Francisco

Fish tail braids are A-okay here at our lice salon in San Francisco!  We had several of our clients (who requested to have us braid their hair in fish tail braids) come in for their second lice treatment most excited about getting their braids again.  We are very happy to oblige them!  It is simply because we know that this may lower the chances of getting head lice.  Having your hair up in buns and braids may give the head louse a lot more of a struggle and challenge in crawling up the hair shaft compared to when the hair is down and flowing.   You can call any location to ask or further education on other lice prevention measures!  Here are some pictures that we have taken of our fish tail braids.  Every Hair Fairies’ location is different so if you have the chance, just ask your hair fairy’s tech what kinds of braids and hairdos they can give you!    

Client’s Trus Us

At Hair Fairies we build our brand through building relationships with our clients.  Having a positive and connected relationship with our clients is key and usually one of the first things they experience upon using our lice removal services.  It is a very emotional problem to have so we have focused on training our employees to manage this issue first. The relationship starts from the consultation on the phone all the way through treatment and finally to our goodbyes when they are lice free and have completed lice treatment.  Parents are usually frantic and don’t know what to do when they call or come in. We immediately give them the facts and sooth their kids. Its what we do best and it's our only focus.  We believe building trust is about sincerity. The best part about our job is when clients hug us and invite us into their homes because we have put the time and effort into not only treating them for lice but building a relationship.  We are the trusted brand for head lice removal.  

The Boy who loves coming to Hair Fairies

A mom goes to visit her son at camp and while he is showing her his bunk he is unconsciously and vigorously scratching his head. He shows her the cafeteria, the lake, drama stage etc. but mom is losing focus because her son continues to scratch his head. The mom asks her son…why are you scratching so much? He replies “I hadn't noticed mom.” At this moment is when he notices that his head is actually really itchy. Excitedly he asks his mom — “do we have to go to Hair Fairies now?” Mom says, “Well I don't know.  We are not sure if you have lice.”  Why are you so happy about getting lice? Even more excited he says, "Mom because I get to watch a movie and get a massage at the same time".  It's time for mom to leave and her son is about to hug his mom when she says playfully, "no hugging. You might have bugs in your head!".  Right then and there mom sees a live head louse on her sons head. She immediately called us to bring her son to Hair Fairies straight from camp for a lice treatment.

�Don�t forget to draw a pic� Hair Fairies San Francisco

On top of offering little treats to all of our clients like candies  and toys in our treasure chest, we also would like to let you know that your child can draw a picture for us to hang at our location! We had a dear client of 4 years old who had asked us if she could take home one of our hair fairies drawings so she can color and bring back for us to hang on our wall.  We have premade outlined Hair Fairies drawings where the kids can color.  Once these drawings are colored and decorated with our kids’ artistic impressions, we at Hair Fairies can hang them on our wall or on a clothing pin line for decorations!   Here is how it looks and another one with our very own artist who had artistically left us behind an individual message from New Zealand!  Time and time again we see at our lice treatment salons, that just because you are dealing with lice, doesn’t mean that the fun has to end. Life is always full of problems, but at hair Fairies, we don’t let lice get us down.  

Lice is very common

Lice is very common, Head lice is very common.  The reaction to having it is also common: Don't say anything about it. The reluctance to tell others that you or your child have lice, coupled with the fact that many are unaware of it being a problem until it is well-developed, means that lice is always going to be hopping around. An exemplary case of how this happens occurred recently at our Hair Fairies lice salon in CT. A mom who came in for screenings was friends with a family that had been dealing with lice for a while but never knew it.  The minute the mom discovered her family had lice (during their family screening at our location) she called her friends immediately to tell them. The reaction was, "ohhh I've been battling with it for a while now too and felt like we were never going to get get rid of it". To this the mom gets really upset and asked her "why didn't you say anything to me?" The other mom didn't want to say anything because she thought that people would think she and her family were dirty. With that being said there are a lot of people out there that are still very misinformed and this is the reason why Hair fairies takes pride in educating our clients.

Hair Fairies Music

Here at Hair Fairies Los Angeles lice treatment center, we try and make your head lice removal experience as pleasant as possible. We have DVD players, DS games, puzzle books, and toys for the kids. We also have our very own Hair Fairies Playlist on Spotify. Since every technician has different tastes in music, we try and accommodate everyone by having a little of everything.  Everyone from the kids to the parents and in between always compliment us on how awesome our music is and how it makes time go by so much faster as they’re getting treated for lice. We recently had a client who shall remain nameless (but is a huge 80s icon) who absolutely was raving about our music. Just Come on in, relax and enjoy the music!

SD BirdStock

SD BirdStock Hair Fairies has a community street fair here in our very own neighborhood — BirdStock. It is held once a year and we are always happy to participate by setting up an educational stand right outside our location for any families that may have questions or concerns regarding headlice. It is very fun to see how many people are  surprised that a lice removal service actually exists. As soon as we start giving them information the questions just start pouring in! To say the least, Hair Fairies had a whole lot of a fun filled day doing our part in educating the community about how to treat head lice and what can be done to prevent the spread of lice.
