The Importance of Professional Lice Removal for Kids

Why Kids Need More Than Just a Quick Comb-Through

When a child comes home from school or camp with head lice, it’s tempting to grab an over-the-counter kit and hope for the best. But lice are persistent, and without expert care, they can linger—and spread. At Hair Wizards Salon in Encino, we specialize in gentle, effective lice removal for kids, giving parents peace of mind and children a quick return to their routine.

1. Kids Are More Susceptible to Lice

Children are in closer contact during school, sports, and playdates, making lice transmission more likely. Lice spread through head-to-head contact or by sharing items like hats and brushes. That’s why early detection (how to spot head lice) and professional removal are so important.

2. Why Professional Lice Removal Works Best

At Hair Wizards Salon, we offer 15-minute lice screenings that catch even early-stage infestations. Our enzyme-based, non-toxic formula is safe for sensitive scalps yet effective against pesticide-resistant lice.

3. Same-Day Relief and a Return to School

Most kids are lice-free and back to school the same day thanks to our thorough lice treatment process, minimizing disruption for families.

4. Preventing Reinfestation at Home

While lice can’t live long off the head, proper cleaning is key to avoiding reinfestation. We guide parents through:

• Washing bedding and towels on high heat

• Cleaning hair tools in the dishwasher (no soap, high heat dry)

• Using our eco-friendly household spray for mattresses, car seats, and fabric surfaces

• Combing through hair with our gentle lice comb for a few nights
