A mother brought her daughter to Hair Fairies because the school nurse had found "tons" of nits and lice in her child's head of hair… so she says. The nurse had told the mother her daughter had given lice to two other children in the school. At the end of the lice treatment, the count of nits that were removed from the child's head at Hair Fairies did not even account for one week's worth of head lice (there is a direct correlation as to how many lice and eggs one has on their head and how long you have had head lice. Each bug lays 4-5 eggs a day and 150 in it's 30-day life span). I informed the child's mother that her daughter did not have tons of nits like the school nurse had told her, and she should not hold her child accountable for giving head lice to the other children when in reality her daughter probably had gotten it from one of the kids in her school. As much as we like to rely on doctors and school nurses, they do not specialize in head lice. The Hair Fairies technicians go through a 90 day intense training period so we can be confident our technicians learn everything about head lice especially how to identify and diagnose it. We are educated so that we can in turn: educate you and your family on what to look for on a child's head when head lice is found in the school, how to prevent you and your family from getting head lice again, and the needed steps in order to get rid of the head lice once you have it. Doctors and nurses specialize in illness and health issues — not head lice. When you need to learn about head lice come to the head lice specialists — Hair Fairies.
