In some parts of the country, Superlice have built up a resistance to many available head lice treatments. As Nightline explains, the problem is that highly toxic treatments have been over used, and the lice have now built up an immunity. Just like over the years, many other bugs have become resistant to antibiotics.
Hair Fairies was invited on the show, as we offer an alternative way to treat head lice, a treatment that is all natural, and one that those pesky nits don’t build up a resistance too.
A few days ago, we had a 5 year old girl in our Chicago salon, and she needed us to get rid of her head lice.
Eric sees her holding a disc and he asks “did you bring your own movie along?”
She shakes her head no, and holds it out for us to see. It’s the Essential Michael Jackson Collection!! We all start laughing and ask if she wants us to put it in so she can listen to it. Jammin out to the King of Pop! Awesome!
The moral of the story? Head lice don’t have to take the fun out of your family’s life. Just grab your kid’s favorite music and come on down to Hair Fairies. We’ll provide a safe solution to the head lice and a cd player for the music
Yesterday one of our clients in NYC was having trouble communicating with her Spanish-only speaking housekeeper that her son had head lice!!
Jenn, our super smart NYC manager suddenly remembered way back from her training in LA, almost 4 years ago, that the Spanish word for head lice is piojos! She used the word and the housekeeper understood right away
For all your Spanish language needs with los piojos, you could also check out our Spanish language tutorial video. The videos explain how you can get rid of head lice, without even coming into a salon, and it’s free!
Head lice are really common, but a lot of people still don’t know what they look like, let alone how to get rid of them. With all the confusing information out there, it’s tough.
So we decided to do something about that: we made a free tutorial Video to show how to deal with head lice using safe, natural and non-toxic products. Something to help out and spread the love, not the head lice!
Today in our New York salon, we found an awesome message on our voice mail thanking us for the video. The woman was an ex-hairdresser from CT who had never seen head lice before and lived too far away to make it into NYC. She said it was very educational and informative. :) We think that’s a great way to go into the weekend!
If you think you have a head lice problem, or just want to learn more, the Hair Fairies video is free and you can find it here:
Here’s a really cool story from our NYC crew! Yesterday, a little girl comes in with her dad, and she needs head lice treatment. As dad is running through his lice story with us, he says he’s just come from Duane Reade where he’d talked to the pharmacist. He’d been asking about the correct way to use XXX Brand (major brand name that will remain anonymous!) because a day after using XXX Brand there was still a live bug on his daughter’s hair! He was pretty concerned about that.
As they were talking, the dad notices our folder on the pharmacy counter, and he says “oh can I have this please?” having noticed our ad previously at his child’s school. The pharmacist says “no, that’s ours… “ Dad’s disappointed for a second, until the pharmacist continues with a smile, “but you can have this one!” and he hands him one of our Hair Fairies brochures from a big stack!
Dad pulls our address off the brochure and shows up shortly after with his daughter at our salon. We help them out. A New York City story with a happy ending! Oh and a great big shout out to Duane Reade!
