Lice Clinic vs Professional Lice Removal at Home

Head lice clinics are kind of like magical places where you and your family’s head lice removal problem can be whisked away, but did you know that the lice services can come to your home?

Finding time in the day for everyone’s heads to get checked can be a daunting task. You may have to sacrifice time otherwise spent at school, work, or practicing after school activities to book at all.

If you’ve ever paid for professional head lice treatment, you know that it’s a time-consuming process. It requires bringing the whole family along to ensure nobody has lice, and it’s worth it to get everyone’s heads checked by a pro. Unfortunately, that means that you won’t know how long the appointment will take until you find out how many people have it.

Hiring a professional to come to your home is the best way to avoid the hassle of fighting traffic and struggling to keep children happy, fed, and entertained for hours in a public office is in-home head lice removal simplifies a whole slew of complications that arise with having your kids’ hair treated.

Most in-home professionals avoid harsh chemical shampoos and will rely on their expertise in combing and hand-picking to physically remove the infestation and ensure that treatment is completely successful. While this is the most effective treatment option, it will require your kids to sit patiently until their heads are fully cleared. What better way to do that than to put on your kids’ favorite movie, grab a bowl of their go-to snack, and get cracking!

Keeping everyone comfortable during the combing will make it go by much faster, and this can be especially challenging with toddlers and infants. However, if you’re all hunkered down together at home, then it’s no trouble at all to pause treatment and take care of family necessities like reinforcing good potty training habits or breastfeeding.

Besides the apparent complications with bringing very young children to a lice clinic, some older children may find hair brushing to be especially stressful. Any child with possible sensory disorders would be better suited to treatment in their own home.

If you’re at all concerned that the lice removal facility environment will add to you or your kids having a stressful experience during treatment, then in-home treatment may be just what the doctor ordered!

If you ever have lice go to Lice Charmers! Emily was awesome. We had already done a treatment at home but weren't sure we got everything out of our daughter's head. She found 3 bugs that we either missed or that had hatched since the home... treatment. She was extremely thorough. Highly recommend!!read more

Emily was so helpful. Made me feel right at ease and made me smile throughout the process. This is a service you hope not to have to use often but if in fact I get another case of head lice, they’d be the first to call. Great communication.... Responded quickly to my request etc. Thank you again! Will be sure to tell others about them.read more

Chris Brewer

Great, friendly service and exactly what we needed to get peace of mind we were rid of all the lice. Tried home treatment first, but she still caught a few of the nits we missed and did a a thorough check of everyone in the family. Totally worth it!

Annie Ozols

Alexis was fantastic. She was super patient with our daughter, who had a pretty nasty infestation. She also was very good at explaining to and educating us about these nasty little insects.

We tried lice treatments from the store but couldn't seem to get rid of it completely and it just kept coming back. Finally I called them for lice removal and that seems to have done the job. Thanks Lice Charmers!

We were visiting friends while out of town, literally across the country when we found lice in my hair. I panicked of course and my sweet husband calmly googled and found Lice Charmers. We called and Conor was so sweet and empathetic and was able to... get me in that very day. We met Lex at the office and she was so unbelievably nice. She calmed our (my) anxiety, we had great conversation and the appointment took about an hour, which was much quicker than we expected considering I have long and thick hair. This was pain free, relaxing and honestly not as big of a deal and I thought it was going to be.This service was well worth the money we spent. Thank you!read more

This was our first head lice experience with our child. Lex, and Lice Charmers came the same day we called and quickly helped reassure us that once she left we would all be lice free. I particularly appreciated the 30 day guarantee. Lice Charmers... willingness to help guide us on best practices for what we needed to take care of in our home to ensure we wouldn't be reinfected was also such a help. Thanks so much Lice Charmers!read more
