Back-to-School Lice Prevention Tips from Your Trusted Local Hair Wizards

A Smart Start to the School Year

As the new school season approaches, making sure your child’s hair stays healthy and lice-free is a must. At Hair Wizards Salon – The Hair Lice Masters in Encino, we’re here to share expert, family-friendly advice backed by years of hands-on experience, plus our own trusted products and services, to help you start the year with confidence.

Why Families Trust Us for Lice Prevention

With over a decade serving families across Greater Los Angeles, we specialize in safe, non-toxic lice screening and removal for children and adults. Our local expertise means every tip comes from real results we’ve seen in our community.

1. Stay Ahead with Quick Lice Screening

Before the school year begins, schedule a 15-minute lice check. This gentle process can spot the problem before symptoms start—and if lice are found, we can begin treatment right away.

2. Choose Safe, Same-Day Removal

If treatment is needed, our team uses a non-toxic, gentle approach that stops lice in their tracks and removes them completely—most children return to school the very same day. We create a calm, supportive environment that makes the process stress-free.

3. Maintain a Lice-Free Routine at Home

Prevention doesn’t stop at the salon—keep up the defense with our all-natural, enzyme-based shampoos and conditioners, along with a professional lice comb. Here’s a simple plan:

• Evening routine (3–4 nights): Wash hair with our shampoo (massage for 5 minutes), apply conditioner, and comb from roots to ends.

• Deep-clean your tools: Remove hair from combs/brushes and run through the dishwasher on high heat—skip the soap.

• Freshen fabrics: Dry bedding on high heat, spray mattresses or carpets with our Household Spray, wait 15 minutes, then vacuum. Seal toys or car seats that can’t be washed in plastic for two weeks.

4. Encourage Smart Habits at School

Teach your child to keep long hair tied back and avoid sharing hats, scarves, or brushes. If they hear classmates mention lice, get them checked right away—early action is the best way to stop it from spreading.
