FAQs

No. Head lice are very common and have nothing to do with cleanliness. Lice spread mainly through head-to-head contact, which happens during play, sports, selfies, and sleepovers. Anyone can get lice, including adults. The most important thing is to treat early and remove lice and nits thoroughly so the problem doesn’t linger.

Lice cannot jump or fly. They crawl. Most spread happens through direct head-to-head contact. Sharing brushes, hats, helmets, headphones, or pillows can also spread lice, but it’s less common than close contact. If your child has been exposed, a careful head check is an important first step.

A trained technician sections the hair and checks the scalp and strands for live lice and nits under good lighting. We’ll explain what we see and answer questions. If lice are found, we can often begin treatment right away. If no lice are found, we’ll still give you guidance on what to watch for and when to re-check.

Most visits take about an hour per person, but it can vary with hair length, thickness, and the amount of lice or nits present. If multiple family members need help, we’ll plan the schedule so everyone can be treated efficiently. When you call, we’ll estimate timing and help you find the right appointment window.

Deep cleaning usually isn’t necessary. Lice live on the scalp and don’t survive long off a person. We recommend washing pillowcases, sheets, and recently worn hats in hot water and drying on high heat. Vacuum couches and car seats if you’d like, but focus your energy on treating the hair and checking close contacts.

It depends, but checking everyone is a smart idea. If one person has lice, others may have early signs without itching yet. Treating affected family members together helps break the cycle and reduces reinfestation. When you call, we’ll help you decide who should come in for a head check based on exposure.
