a typical licebeater's Service Call*

The first thing we try to do is set the customer and his or her family at ease. Lice are not harmful and there is no need to panic. We can reassure you because we have successfully dealt with hundreds of cases of lice removal.

Before we begin treatment we check the head carefully to see the extent of the lice problem and to see if treatment is necessary at all. We shine bright lights on the hair and very carefully go through the hair using magnifying glasses. We check the hair in all different directions since lice adhere to only one side of the hair.

We then carefully remove all visible nits by hand (and with a nit comb) as quickly and as thoroughly as possible.

After all the visible nits are removed, we carefully explain part 2 of our treatment plan to you. This provides step by step instructions about how and when to apply olive oil to your hair.

Instructions are then given about cleaning the hair and any house hold items.

Most of the time the removal is complete in just one visit. However, in a particularly difficult case, we recommend a follow up visit. Of course, these follow up visits are our major priority when scheduling appointments because we want all of our customers to be 100% satisfied.
