The Lice Specialist Guarantee
We’re here for your family. If lice return within 30 days after a completed treatment and follow-up, we’ll re-treat at no extra cost. Simple as that.
The Lice Specialist Method
1.
Using a conditioning repellant spray, my focus is removing the infestation rather than killing it.
• Why? I know that nothing kills 100 percent of the infestation so I would rather keep our focus and remove the problem while leaving a repelling scent behind.
2.
Once the hair is saturated, I use the Nit Free Terminator Comb to thoroughly comb the entire head of hair working in small manageable sections to remove the nits and live bugs.
• Why? The Lice Specialist has tested many lice combs on the market since 2009. The Nit Free Terminator Comb has the tightest teeth to pull out the most stubborn nits.
3. Concluding the Treatment phase, a demonstration of the Homework Combing process is presented.
• Why? To ensure all clients are free of head lice on the Follow Up visit, I ask that the parent continue with a quick 1-Step combing process at home. A little extra effort goes a long way!

Head Lice Infestations
Discovering head lice instantly creates an emotional response. Panic, feelings of dirtiness and shame are just a few of the many emotions that infiltrate the brain. Over the years and throughout the many generations before us, people with lice have been perceived as dirty and unkept. For this reason, now in 2025, when lice are discovered the feeling of shame arises and takes over. The panic that the mind and body experiences is compared to nothing else. That emotional response when finding head lice for the very first time is completely normal and is experienced by every single person. The only way to break the stigma of having head lice is to talk about it. Period. If we as a community normalize head lice, we take away the fear. We break the cycle. We reduce the number of cases. We shift the shame to compassion.
