What do you do if you think you have lice?

When you start to feel itchy or notice some specs in your hair what should you do? The first step is to screen your head. You can part the hair in small sections to inspect and look for lice eggs (nits). If you want professional help you can call us! We perform a thorough check and comb through each strand of hair to delineate between what is lice and what is dandruff. After this screening is completed the Lice technician will inform you if you have Lice or not and then offer a variety of treatments for you.
