Tips on keeping the lice away

In order for your child not to get head lice, your child should not be sharing any hats, helmets, or hair ties with another child. We all know how much girls like having their hair out, but in order prevent head lice, your daughters' hair should not be out. It should be tied up neatly in bun or braid, no loose pony tails. There should be no hair sticking out. All you need is one string of hair for the lice to grab onto to get lice. It only takes seconds for a louse to travel from hair to hair.

3 Percent of students of any given school have head lice!

It is a given that 3% of students typically have head lice at any given time and at any educational institution. Head lice are as common as the flu and equally as difficult to trace back to the source. The goal of Hair Fairies is to rid individuals of head lice definitively and manage the problem within any given community. Because head lice live through highly toxic products, the concept of eradication is impossible.  Therefore they are here to stay and the problem must be managed instead. So don't forget come on in Wednesday January 18, 2012 for your FREE screening at our La Jolla Location!

Hair Fairies clients are well educated

It's a very rewarding feeling when clients walk into a Hair Fairies salon knowing all of our Q's and A's on head lice and our Nit-Zapping process. Maribel our lead tech in our Hair Fairies Los Angeles salon was treating a family who purchased our product, followed our tutorial (after watching it over and over again) but decided to come in after their first attempt. As Maribel treated she found a few nits. Maribel said the whole family was very well educated on the head lice subject, even the youngest of the family asked Maribel if she was ready for step 3 (blow dry) to commence our nit-picking session. All Maribel could do was smile and keep on "reviewing" what they already knew 🙂

Babies can get head lice

  As much as we don’t want to believe that a baby can get head lice, unforunately they can. Head lice don’t have an age preference, as long as they are able to feed. Once a baby’s mother has it, it is about 90% chance that your baby will have it too. Moms are constantly hugging , and kissing their baby, so how could the baby not get it?

Do you know the color pattern of a head lice egg/nit while attached to the hair shaft

It goes from almost clear light brownish to an almost brown-black egg when it is ready to hatch. 5-7 day period.

Mom Talk about Head Lice in Chicago

Mom Talk about Head Lice in Chicago : So many of our clients at Hair Fairies Chicago are moms who’ve been referred to us by other moms. The mom chain is a powerful thing and we tend to love it as we don’t just end up getting to know one family, but we get to know that families friends as well. That’s why educating clients on Head Lice is so important. One mom inevitably tells another mom. And so on. The education spreads faster than Head  Lice can. It amazes me that to this days so many people still don’t know how lice work as they’ve been with us since the pyramids. It is an honor to be able to spread the info about Head Lice and help moms educate moms everywhere.

“A Lice-mare before Christmas” at Hair Fairies San Francisco!

  We had a call from a dad a few days ago and the call struck a chord in my memory bank that I have to share it with you in this blog.  It wasn’t something that was neither problematic nor difficult to resolve, but it was something the dad said which fit with the occasion and made the whole head lice treatment experience just worth sharing.  It was days before Christmas and I had a concerned Dad who had found nits, A.K.A Head Lice eggs on his daughter’s hair.  There were no visible signs of the crawlies, A.K.A head lice bugs, but only nits.  The dad booked the appointment for his daughter and his family was screened and treated.  When they left after their treatments, the dad thanked us for our services, but also added how grateful it was to be helped.  He said, “It was literally and would be a Lice-Mare before Christmas, if I haven’t found you guys earlier!”    Hope everyone had a joyous Holiday and let’s welcome the New Year with a bang of no "Lice-mares" on Christmas or on any holiday occasions!

Hair Fairies New York Story: Creepy crawlers on christmas eve

A family got together for christmas eve. They were having a very pleasant night. They ate, took pictures, open presents and shared stories. They also had santa hats which they were all sharing to take pictures of one another. When mom was about to put the hat on she saw something brown on the hat and said this hat is dirty. When she takes a closer look, "oh my god its a bug!" Monday morning, mom and the family were at Hair Fairies New York and three of them had it.
