We had an amazing experience with Melanie at Lice Charmers. What started as a very stressful situation was immediately made better the minute we walked through the door. We left lice free and knowing exactly what to do next. Worth every penny!

June was so kind and grounded, which really helped us in a stressful time. She also accommodated our schedule changes and was gentle with my tender-headed child. Thanks so much June!

On Sunday, one day before Labor Day 2026. My daughter needed to get her hair checked for lice. Melanie had an opening for us. Melanie did a very thorough exam. Would absolutely recommend Melanie !!! Thank you very much !!!

We had a great experience with the actual treatment and staff. Everyone was incredibly kind, helpful, and professional, and the service itself was absolutely 5 stars. Going in, we understood the pricing was $45 per person for the inspection and $200 for treatment if lice were found. We were hoping that only one or two members of our family would need treatment. Unfortunately, all five of us ended up needing it, which brought our total to $1,075. That was definitely a bit of sticker shock for us. I appreciate the owner’s explanation that the price includes the 60-day guarantee and isn’t based simply on the amount of time spent treating each person. That makes the pricing structure make more sense. I think my disappointment was mostly that once we found out our entire family needed treatment and the bill was going to be over $1,000, I was hoping there might be some type of family discount or flexibility for a situation like ours. Overall, the staff and treatment were excellent, and I would absolutely give the service itself 5 stars. I just wish there were some sort of family pricing option when multiple people in the same household all require treatment at once.

Had a wonderful time with Melanie. She did a great job and provided wonderful service. It felt very thorough. I absolutely recommended this place and Melanie if you are dealing with lice and/or think you have it.

Our experience with Shayna of Lice Charmers in PDX was top notch! She checked 6 of our family members and treated 2. Highly recommended!!

Samantha Biles

Excellent. We got in within the hour. The technician was patient, relaxed, and efficient. All you could hope for.

Claire Kaiser Brown

Perfect ratings for the perfect solution - our family was able to get same-day appointments, and treatments immediately after diagnosis. Margaret was super attentive and friendly throughout, and I feel so much better after her thorough inspection!
