Why Cheaper and Faster Lice Removal Is Not Effective
A cheaper and faster lice removal service may not always be the best choice for several reasons. Although you think you may be getting a deal and feeling great about it, the later consequences of the time and money it can take to get it done right will end up costing you more. Here is why we recommend doing it right the first time.
Effectiveness
Let’s start with the chances of a quick treatment not working being very high. These “cheaper” options are likely not fully removing all of the lice and their eggs (nits), leading to reinfestation. High-quality manual nit-picking, like we offer here at Hair Faires, takes the necessary time to thoroughly remove lice to ensure they don’t come back.
Hidden Costs
The lack of effectiveness plays directly into the cost in the long run. If the infestation comes back, you will find yourself not only paying for another removal service, but the other costs like missing school, work, finding child care, and the stress that may come along with a prolonged infestation.
Taking it a step further, if one person in the family has lice, and it is not effectively removed before spreading to the others in the home, you are looking at multiple lice removal sessions for everyone who has been exposed. End the cycle by investing in your head lice removal service and you will be thankful you did.
Here at Hair Fairies, when we do lice removal, we recommend everyone in the family come in for a lice check. This ensures we catch an infestation early on, costing you less time and money later. If you bring the entire family in for a lice check, our 14-day policy is enacted, where if you find lice or it reinfests within 14 days, we will remove the lice for free. This peace of mind is worth every penny!
Use of Harsh Chemicals
Many of the “get it done quick” lice removal options are likely using harsh chemicals to help move the process along. These chemicals are not effective and can be very harmful for children or anyone with sensitive skin. Here at Hair Fairies we use our own natural product line that has been tried and true for over 25 years!
Lack of Expertise
Lower cost may also mean less experienced technicians who may not be as thorough or skilled in manual lice removal, increasing the risk of a recurring problem. Our Hair Fairies undergo a training process that helps ensure they are qualified to conduct thorough lice screenings and removals, leaving you with higher chances of success!
If head lice infests in your home, our advice is to get it done correctly the first time. Have questions of what is included in our service or our reinfestation policies? Reach out and a Hair Fairy will be happy to walk you through our effective and worry-free process. Also, treatments may be reimbursable by insurance!
