Frequently Asked Questions
Here are answers to the most common questions about head lice, our services, and prevention tips.
What is head lice?
Lice are small, wingless insects that infest the scalp and hair of humans. Symptoms may include itching, discomfort, and tiny brown or yellowish eggs (nits) attached to hair shafts. Nits do not flake off like dandruff.
Lice or Dandruff?
Dandruff will flake off, while nits feel hard and stick to a single hair shaft. To remove a nit, you must slide it completely down the hair strand.

How long does the treatment take?

Do you offer a guarantee?
Yes! We offer a 30-day guarantee if all household members are checked at the appointment. If lice return within 30 days, we re-treat for free.
How does lice start?
Lice spread through head-to-head contact. They can’t jump or fly. Once a pregnant louse transfers, she lays eggs that hatch in 7–9 days.
How do I get lice out of my house?
Lice don’t survive long off the head. Wash and dry bedding. Our Household Spray can be used on furniture, helmets, and surfaces to kill lice on contact.
What should I do to prepare for my appointment?
Have hair dry or damp, tangle-free, and without product. Provide a well-lit area with a table and chair for your technician.
How can we prevent a future infestation?
Use our prevention products year-round and keep hair in braids or buns during school, camps, or sports.
