Total Head Lice and Nit Removal Treatment
|
Our trained specialists use only safe, non-toxic products while practicing The Shepherd Method™ of strand-by-strand lice and nit removal. We are trained to find even the smallest nymph, which is made possible by painstakingly examining paper -thin strands of hair. There is no shortcut! We comb and nit pick until we are confident we’ve rid you of your persistent lice problem. As we work, we also educate you on lice and ways to help your family remain lice-free. Included in your fee are two free follow up re-checks to ensure there hasn’t been a re-infestation. While doing a treatment in your home, we encourage the whole family to take advantage of our head checks at that time. We strongly encourage this in hopes of helping you prevent a possible re-infestation by another family member or friend.
A complete treatment service is $100 for the first hour, and $80 for each additional hour. A typical treatment is two hours depending on the length and thickness of the hair, severity of the infestation, and the cooperation of the client. This fee includes the two free follow-up rechecks. A fee of $25 is charged if your in-home visit is outside our PWC service area. |
