Melanie was super knowledgeable and thorough. Apparently, I did not have lice and was just charged for check and peace of mind. Highly recommend.

After finding out about cases at our local school, we suspected one of our children had lice. As this was our first experience with lice, we were nervous on how to handle the situation. We found Lice Charmers and brought the whole family. She was able to see us very quickly. This was the best decision we could have made. Our child did have lice, and June was phenomenal. Her treatment of it, as well as her knowledge and suggestions instantly put us at ease. While lice is frustrating, it can be handled relatively simply and it made us realize it's a very manageable situation. The rest of us got looked at as well. Our child's hair is not the easiest to run a lice comb through, but June was phenomenal and our child barely even noticed. Highly, highly recommend if you want to feel at peace.

Kelly Sanders

This place was great. June is very knowledgeable and did very thorough work. I am satisfied that our lice issue was properly addressed. Would highly recommend!

Got an appointment 2 hours after my initial call! Melanie was kind, patient, thorough, and answered all of our (many) questions. She took the stress out of an otherwise very unpleasant circumstance. My kiddo adds, “She even worked a bit late to make sure that we could all be checked- which was very nice.”

Megan Sever

They were wonderful! Got a same-day appointment, and they were very thorough and kind. They made my 8yo and me feel comfortable and were pleasant to chat with while the process was done. Very knowledgeable and very easy. 10/10 recommend over doing it yourself!

Lice charmers are a Godsend. Especially Melanie. I was so anxious and so uncomfortable. She was knowledgeable and so kind. She is an expert with compassion. The price was reasonable I personally thought the price was low compared to what they do. Don’t even try to do this on your own. Make appointment.
The products I bought to do it myself cost me more than what they charged. Thank you Melanie.

Sara Kupper

Did I want to spend my birthday money on lice treatment? No, of course not. But I’m so glad I did. My attempt at treating my daughter’s lice with drugstore shampoo was ineffective and she was still scratching out bugs (barf). Melanie was very kind and even checked my younger daughter and me as well. Plus, we learned all about lice! At least now if this happens again (god forbid), we’re well-informed. 100% would recommend.

melanie garrick

Gave me great piece of mind of being lice free after treating my son! Friendly staff and I learned a lot of helpful information! Great experience.

Courtney Ferris

We had a great experience with Lice Charmers! Very thorough and answered all my questions. Worth the money and they accept HSA/FSA!

Janet Stewart

We went to Lice Charmers as a family of four. We were able to make a same-day appointment, which was great. Marigny was great with the kids and was able to give us lots of good information while de-lousing us. Money well spent!

Christy Stevens

June is amazing and super knowledgeable! We had a loce scare and needed head checks done and she was really great with my kids. Would 100% recommend going to see June!

Leann Witt

So thankful to have found this salon! They had us in and out in under two hours. June was efficient, kind, calming, and best of all, we left without lice. Highly recommend.

Karyn Reinebach

Margaret was amazing, she was thorough, fast and diligent. I have used Lice Charmers before and they are the only place that answers the phone and has appts at any time.

Mason Andrus

Lice Charmers literally saved my sanity. I tried the over-the-counter stuff with no luck, and I wish I’d just come here first. The 'Charmers' are aptly named—they were so kind and handled the situation with such ease that my kids actually enjoyed the visit. No more itching, no more stress. They took a situation that usually makes you want to burn your house down and made it manageable. 10/10 recommendation is an understatement!

Amanda Willet

June was very helpful, kind and knowledgable. The treatment is all natural and actually relaxing. My daughter called it the Lice Spa. Thank you for helping us! It worked and she is much more comfortable. Definitely worth the cost!

Christina Besperstova

Sarah Brown

I found lice in my daughter’s hair on a Monday And after doing a treatment at home I wasn’t sure about my ability to get rid of it all and I was able to get in for an appointment on Tuesday morning. June was very thorough and knowledgeable. She helped put my five-year-old at ease while also teaching us a few things here and there to help ease our worries. She checked me and my two other children. Overall, it was a good experience even if lice had to be involved ☺️

Emily Galeria-Wolfe

Melanie at Lice Charmers is amazing! We had never dealt with lice before and she instantly put us at ease. She was great with my neurodiverse son, as well as my husband and I. I can't recommend Melanie and Lice Charmers enough. We got in right away and now all happily lice free! Thank you Lice Charmers!
