About the founders of licebeaters | About the new jersey franchise | about the connecticut franchise

How we got started

In the mid 1990’s, Penny was working as a medical office manager in a doctor’s office that specialized in pediatric medicine. The office was frequently getting calls from people who were unable to get rid of their head lice using the well known over- the-counter medicated shampoos and rinses. Because of these experiences in the office, Penny came up the idea for a lice treatment and nit removal business and enlisted her good friend Wendy, to join her.

Wendy and Penny did many hours of research to perfect their removal technique and treatment plan. In particular, they relied heavily on the well researched, common sense approach to headlice removal discussed on HeadliceInfo.com. They opened up their business and began making house calls.

Since then, Wendy and Penny have treated hundreds of satisfied customers in the comfort of their own homes. Licebeaters' medical director is Dr. Stephen Beck, a Board Cerfitied Internist (and Wendy's husband).

the New Jersey franchise

How we got started

As working moms (Nina as a science and special education teacher and Karen as a marketing consultant to the non-prescription drug industry), Nina and Karen wanted to do work that would help others and give them more flexibility.

Karen learned about Licebeaters from Wendy, her longtime friend and founder of Licebeaters. Karen and Nina worked with Wendy and her partner, Penny, in the New York area making house calls to treat people with head lice. Karen and Nina saw first-hand that the Licebeater’s treatment plan is 100% effective in eradicating lice.

When Wendy and Penny decided to franchise their business, Karen and Nina jumped at the opportunity to purchase the New Jersey territory.

Karen and Nina are proud to own a business that they know has a 10 year track record of successfully treating people with lice.
