When head lice strike, most parents want the problem solved as quickly as possible. At Hair Wizards Salon, our goal is to remove lice completely in one visit—using safe, non-toxic methods that are gentle for kids and adults alike.
1. Quick Lice Check – About 15 Minutes
We begin every appointment with a 15-minute lice screening. This helps us confirm if lice or nits are present and decide on the best treatment. Our trained team uses careful sectioning and special lighting to make sure we don’t miss even the earliest signs.
2. Treatment Time – 45 Minutes to 1 Hour
If lice are found, we start treatment immediately. Most sessions take between 45 minutes and one hour, depending on hair length, thickness, and the severity of the case. During treatment, we:
Apply our enzyme-based, non-toxic solution to stop lice in their tracks and loosen nits.
Comb through hair in small sections with professional lice combs to ensure every strand is clean.
Perform a final scalp check to confirm all lice and nits are gone.
Our approach is pesticide-free, safe for sensitive scalps, and effective against even resistant lice.
3. Same-Day Return to School or Work
Because our process removes lice in a single session, most clients are cleared to go back to school or work the same day. We’ll also share prevention tips and home care steps to reduce the risk of lice coming back.
4. Why Professional Treatment Saves Time
Store-bought kits can take several days—or even weeks—because they often require repeated treatments and still may miss stubborn eggs. At Hair Wizards Salon, our one-visit method removes both lice and nits in one sitting, saving families time, stress, and repeated cleanups.
