Children with head lice

Children with head lice frequently spread the infestation onto other family members; 80% of siblings and mothers, 20% of fathers, and 30-40% of babysitters, nannies or housekeepers catch head lice in a shared household.

Fathers dealing with Head Lice at Hair Fairies Los Angeles

Being that only 20% of dads are statistically prone to head lice, here at Hair Fairies Los Angeles, it is no surprise to walk into the salon with a room full of dads being treated for head lice. … Who says LA dads are not nurturing!

Did you know Santa Hats can prevent you from getting Head Lice in San Francisco?

It’s not just Santa Hats, but any hat or hair coverings would do!  Santa hats are just way cooler and Christmas Eve is inching ever so closely, so our Hair Fairies in San Francisco are delighted to put on our Santa hats and greet you in person when you come in and into any of our Hair Fairies Locations.  Not only do we have the holiday spirit but if you do have an appointment with us, please show us your holiday spirit and come in with your Santa hats, bells, and Christmas-sy accessories.   Furthermore, it’s worth the prevention when you have your own hat without sharing it with anyone else.  Having your hair covered can help lower the risk of transmission, so wearing a protective covering over your hair is vital in preventing a bug from crawling onto your hair and head.  It’s important to always have your own separate hat or hair coverings.   If someone else uses the item, you can use our lice repellent spray and or wash it with our Laundry Additive, both in which kill head lice. 

Resolution Solution

Resolution Solution Instead of a new year’s resolution — what about a plan? Instead of promises you can’t keep, how about a plan to make things better? An area of interest is broad and you find yourself beating yourself up later when you can’t keep a promise. At Hair Fairies Chicago we have some goals when it comes to the New Year: Eat healthier for lunch because a healthy lunch makes for better performance at work and life in general. Our Xmas party was great and reminded us that stronger team building on our part was very necessary. I feel like we’re closer as a team and it can only get better from here. So instead of fooling yourself into false promises, pick some areas to work on and keep it broad and forgiving. Happy New Year from Hair Fairies Chicago, the Lice Helpers!  

How is head lice infestations diagnosed?

An infestation is diagnosed by looking closely through the hair and scalp for nits, nymphs, or adults. Finding a nymph or adult may be difficult; there are usually few of them and they can move quickly from searching fingers. If crawling lice are not seen, finding nits within a ¼ inch of the scalp confirms that a person is infested and should be treated.

Did you get a free check on our “FREE Head Lice checks for the Day” promo on December 14th, 2011 at Hair Fairies?!

San Francisco Hair Fairies is reporting in with our promo. "FREE Head Lice SCREENINGS for the day".  On December 14th, 2011 all Hair Fairies location, which include Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, San Diego, and San Francisco took part in giving all booked appointments complimentary Lice Screenings.  We received a lot of extended families as a result and it was worth it!  This was great, since we do highly urge everyone in the immediate family to be screened.  The risk of exposure to head lice is high when it comes to family gatherings. Head lice, especially the bugs, can be transferred sometimes and rather quickly when there is contact with and within other family members.    We at San Francisco would also like to report in that no one who booked for the free screenings had it and were clear!  This is a great time to also suggest that early detection is key, so make sure to get a routine head lice screening for your kids so we can catch it sooner than later. It’s the gift that keeps on giving!

Holiday Stresses

Holiday Stresses The  Holidays. Family, Food, and Decorations. It should be fun but making food for your family, and decorations happen can be a stressful enterprise. Now imagine that your children caught Lice on top of that! At Hair Fairies Chicago we have some very nervous mothers coming to us, worrying that Christmas might take place within a shielding bubble for their kids. Part of what makes this job rewarding to us is to know that we made a difference in a situation like this. Our holiday cheer is spread in the form of comforted moms, and kids who are allowed to be kids again. The only white flakes people should see on hair this time of year is… snow. And we aim to make that happen.

Pleasant Surprise at Hair Fairies Chicago

Pleasant Surprise at Hair Fairies Chicago Today an unexpected package came – obviously recycled so it had a bit of an “off look”. A mysterious box? Can’t wait to open it. Opening it revealed more mysteries. Another box? Inside of it a hand cut cloth. All recycled. Inside the carefully wrapped cloth was a hand made gift: A tiny fairy sitting on a clay toadstool with perfect little tiny green wings. It was made with love, crafted with care. A card inside thanked us for treating a family. It was obviously written by a very young customer. We can’t thank her and her family enough for this gesture of thanks during the holidays. You made out cold days warmer than ever this December. We plan to use the fairy she gave us as an ornament for our tree this year and every year after. We have great clients and this fairy will always be a reminder of that. Thanks so much and Happy holidays from Hair Fairies Chicago The Head Lice Helpers!
