Rid of Those Nasty Little Lice

Thank You!  Nancy, you came and treated my daughter in June after we found a second infestation in just 8 months.  I wish I had called in October during the first infestation after it took us 3 weeks, two over-the-counter lice “medication” purchases, and many tears later to rid ourselves of those nasty little lice!  My daughter has been lice free since June and we are doing the two-minute quick-comb you taught us once a week.  It actually only takes us about 20 seconds!  Just after you came, my good friend and her two daughters were pretty well infested too (thanks to us, I’m sure) so we helped them and it was gone in less than a week.  It felt great to be able to educate my misinformed friend and to help with the combing process.  I really can’t thank you enough for all you did for us.  I’m sure you’ll never know how far-reaching your services actually go!

Clear Head, Clear Conscience

I’m going to admit it –I wasn’t excited about spending money on something I “should” have been doing myself. However, after three days of treating the head lice that my son and I found ourselves dealing with, I finally broke down. Not only did your kind, patient and warm specialist clean up our heads, she cleared my conscience. We’re in the middle of our two week maintenance, and we haven’t found a nit. We feel in control of the situation and extremely relieved.

I’m hoping there won’t be a next time, but if there is, I will call right away.

Thank you!

Great Experience

I just wanted to let you know what a great experience my family had yesterday with Emily.  My daughter has been battling with these lovely lice critters and I am soooo happy that I called your company and had Emily come.  There is no doubt in my mind that I would have continued to fight this battle.  Not only did she do a complete cleaning of my daughter’s head, but the education we received is invaluable!  I actually slept last night without waking up an thinking something was crawling in my hair. 

I am very comfortable that if we ever have another case in our house I will be able to treat it and have someone to call for advice.

Thanks again and I would reccomend your service to anyone who has this problem.

2,000 Questions about Head Lice

I wanted to say thank you so, so, so much for your services. My daughter had lice for 4 1/2 weeks. Each time I thought I had thoroughly combed out her hair, she’d be clean for 3 days, then on day 4 we’d find more nits. I couldn’t take it any longer. My poor daughter, she was a trooper, but she had to sit with me twice each day as I combed her hair out for at least 2 hours each sitting, then I used the over the counter treatments, over and over and over. I wanted to cry, I felt like this was taking over my life.
I constantly washed her sheets, bedding, stuffed animals, etc. Then her younger brother got it, and I was about to lose it!  I thank God I found you.  Megan came to our house the same day I called, she was wonderful! She explained everything to me, answered my 2,000 questions, laughing along the way! She checked my husband, my son, my daughter and I and taught me what to do going forward. I finally got some sleep that night and was able to feel normal again!!!! What a HUGE lifesaver you are!!! I’m happy to say I’m smiling again!

Thank you so much Megan!!!! You were wonderful!!!

Absolute Lifesavers

It’s been about a month since you paid us a visit, but I wanted to follow up in writing to say thanks! 

I just can’t tell you how happy I am to have found your service!  I thought my daughter’s lice was something I could handle on my own, but after 2 over the counter products and a trip to the pediatrician, those little buggers still came back… twice!!  Who knew such tiny little creatures could cause so much misery?!  It was so frustrating and stressful for my daughter and it broke my heart to see her so upset.  Thank you so much for coming to our rescue.  You all are absolute lifesavers!  It was great to chat with you and learn more than I ever thought I wanted to know about lice and nits as you combed through everyone’s hair.  You were so gentle and kind to my children– and bringing movies on your laptop for my little one was pure genius!  I’m not sure he even noticed that you were combing through his hair!!  Now, I am so happy to announce that we are all lice free!  I will definitely sing your praises to others in need.  Thank you again for all your help!  Making that call to Lice Happens was soooo worth it!!

So Upset About Bugs

…just this week another dreaded note came home from school saying several cases of lice had been found at school.  My daughter panicked and immediately said “call Nancy, she was so much fun.”  I calmly told her that Nancy had taught us how to deal with it, and we have nothing to worry about–and I truly felt that way.  

I know it’s silly to get so upset about bugs, but it was one of the most harrowing month-long experiences of my life, and you came in so positive, calming, and professional.  Just like the comments I had read it was soooo worth the money for the service you provided for us.  Knowledge is power, and you informed us so well that I was able to get rid of my sister’s kids’ lice, saving them and us from further infestations.  The combing method you taught us was so much better than anything else we tried and so much easier for my 7 year old daughter to stand.

Your promptness in getting to us and assurance of your future help if we should ever need it was so comforting.

Thanks so much and all the best to you and your business- we need you out there.

Sincerely,

Jessica

Lice Happens Stole Our Hearts

Nancy and M. J. recently took care of our head lice problem, and I had a way overdue education on a subject in which I was ignorant. Parents, please use a professional when confronted with this situation! Drug-store products are just not effective in getting permanent relief.

Over the years, when my kid’s school sent that letter home alerting parents to an outbreak, I’d check my kids and feel good that they didn’t have it.  But I would think “I’m so glad it’s not my child,” and “how gross and dirty the parents must be!”  And I’d move on with my everyday busy life.  That changed in one day, and the feeling can be overwhelming.  Shame, huge guilt, embarrassment, horror and those are just the initial feelings.

Lice Happens immediately calmed me down, stole our hearts, and took care of the problem, as well as giving me a free education in this nasty horrible pest who doesn’t like any animals, just humans.  I will never go through this again thanks to their thoroughness and great attitude.  I feel such a huge sense of gratitude for their help in saving our summer and the remaining elementary school years.

Ending The Endless Cycle

I just wanted to thank Emily for her help this weekend.  We have spent the better part of this school year battling this.  My daughter has missed 15 days of school; we have spent countless hours combing and cutting and tugging strand by strand to remove all the nits.  It was overwhelming at times for both of us.  And the worst part is, that it seemed like no matter how much time we invested in trying to get rid of the nits and lice, nothing was working and we were just in this endless cycle. 

Emily was great in every way.  Friendly, informative, thorough, and supportive.  I just can’t say enough good stuff about your company and, in particular, Emily.  I’ve told everyone who will listen (including our school nurse) about your company and your services.  I am so appreciative of your help…it was worth every penny spent. 

Sincerely,

Nary a Nit 

I said it when you were here and I’ll say it again.  This is some of the best money I’ve ever spent! 

It’s been nearly two months and nary a nit nor a louse nor a nymph have I seen.  My Lice Happens Terminator Lice comb has become my best friend, and although I haven’t seen anything since that first week, I still comb every week, just to be sure.  

Thank you, not just for making me louse-free, but for the warmth and good humor you brought to what could have been a harrowing situation.  Your matter-of-fact attitude went a long way towards helping calm me down.  I was imagining myself battling the stubborn critters for weeks, if not months.  With your help, they were quickly and thoroughly gone.  And good riddance!

 Thank you so much.  You’re a life-saver!

Embarrassed, Frustrated, and then…Pleased!

I have to say this was such an embarrassing situation for the family, and an ongoing one. It was beyond frustrating until I stumbled upon your website. I have to say I have never been so pleased with any service ever before. Emily was knowledgeable, personable, caring, and thorough! I feel w/ Emily’s help we have finally conquered this! She has given me the tools & products I need, and I am recommending you to everyone I know with this issue!

Averting a Lice Crisis

Hi.  I just wanted to let you both know how much I APPRECIATE all of the help you provided to me and my family during our “lice crisis.”  You both were so thorough, patient, understanding, and PROFESSIONAL.  I was so relieved to have been able to schedule a visit so quickly!  The visit was also very educational, not that anyone WANTS to learn about lice!   It is very comforting to know that there is such great help that is so quickly available.  Thank you both sooo much for doing what you do and for your commitment to helping people get through what can be such a stressful situation.   What an awesome duo!

Very Grateful – JM (and Little Bears)

Not the End of the World

Well, it has been two weeks since the panicked discovery of the first louse and Emily’s visit and I’m happy to report that we are lice free. Working as a team, Emily and I successfully cleared my daughter of all nits so the cycle could not continue.

 One of the most reassuring things to me about your service was having Emily check my head. I needed to know if I was infested so I could take the appropriate steps, but couldn’t really check my own head, and let’s face it, our husbands are not always the most detail-oriented when we ask them to do something like this. Having Emily quick comb me to check for any live lice or nits and finding nothing, took my stress level from a 10 to about a 2. 

 I’ve learned through this process (and with Lice Happens and Emily’s help) that lice doesn’t have to be the end of the world – we don’t have to clean every inch of our houses, put our children in a bubble or treat them like pariahs who aren’t allowed to sit on the couch or put their heads back, we just have to be proactive when they’ve been to a party or sleep over where “lice could happen.”  I feel empowered that when my daughter starts kindergarten, that I have the tools (literally, the best nit comb ever and the peppermint repellent spray) to handle lice. With a weekly combing to check for any action, we can catch it in an early stage and have a sense of control over these little critters.

 I would recommend (and have) your service to anyone. I look at it this way - if I needed something repaired in my house, I would call a professional, so when lice happened, I called a professional.

 Thank you!

Sobbing on a Sunday Morning

Jessica had lice a month ago and we paid Lice Happens to come out!  They were wonderful and instead of it lasting for 10 days, Jessica was lice/nit free in ONE DAY!!!!     They also checked my son, my husband, and me – all of us were lice free. Whoever has lice should call these terrific ladies immediately.    They come out to your house and use chemical free shampoo.  They shampooed Jessica’s hair and got all the yuckky stuff out with their nit comb.

I called them sobbing on a Sunday morning and they were at my house in the afternoon.    Their services are confidential.   My husband and I spent the next 2 days doing many  loads of laundry, vacuuming and putting toys in plastic bags.   We checked Jessica’s hair each day for 2 solid weeks and it never came back.

Lice is something that happens and no one should feel bad or that people are judging them!!  As parents we are open about this in an attempt to have others take this problem seriously  AND to know that there is help!!

Lice Queens Trump Drama Queen

I just wanted to thank you for helping us out of our lice mess last week!  While Samantha’s friend, who used an over-the-counter-treatment, is stilll battling many nits, Samantha looks clean… There was a lot more drama when you weren’t around!  Even my husband, who hates to spend a penny on anything he can possibly do himself, agrees that this is the best money we’ve ever spent!  I’ve been telling everyone who asks about you and hope you have much success in your new business.  M.J., it was fun hanging with you while you went through Sam’s hair!
Thanks again!!

Enlightened and Empowered

…thank you for taking the time to come to speak to the PTA at Wolftrap Elementary School last week. From our very first emails to the end of your talk, you have been patient, informative and accommodating – a real pleasure to work with! We are grateful that you offer this outreach service.

The talk itself was not only enlightening, it was empowering. What a great weight has been lifted off of my shoulders to know that having a case of lice in our home, does not have to mean days of tears, laundry and hiding. More importantly, I now know that I can stop living in fear of lice and let my children be social – I just need to comb or check them on a regular basis. It’s actually very freeing! I have gotten great feedback from those that attended the meeting. Everyone was so appreciative of your professional yet humorous presentation. I know that each person there will now help spread the word of “No shame. No blame.”

Thank you again for making yourselves available to educate our community.

Gratefully,

Polly C., President, Wolftrap ES PTA
