Making a Difference


What a difference a week can make and what a big difference one or two people can make in the lives of others.  Not everyone is called to head lice removal as a career choice which is why I am always excited to meet people interested in lice removal as ‘a calling’.  I am spending the week with two such people who have that calling.  Mary and Gracia, sisters from Halifax, are the newest super heroes to join our Lice Squad Canada team and are spending the week at our head office for new franchise training.

Mary and her family had quite the battle with head lice this past summer and after struggling with it for weeks finally got relief by using Lice Squad products and services.  She and her sister have quite a head lice story to share and it is a familiar one that I hear over and over again.  Having experienced the trauma personally, they saw an opportunity to become part of the solution and get involved in something bigger in an effort to help others. And, joining an established head lice removal franchise system makes good business sense.

I know these ‘Lice Ladies’ will succeed faster and better with our mentorship, help and support vs. starting from scratch.  I wish them good luck and look forward to following their progress and sharing more of their story. If you have a great ‘lice story’ to share, I’d love to hear from you.

We love Lice Squad's Face Book fans


What a wonderful day it is when I read a testimonial from a client about how thrilled they were with our head lice removal services.  Thank you for taking the time to reach out.  I love Lice Squad Canada's face book fans and thank you for sharing this feedback. 

"So very grateful to have had your services suggested to us!! We have two children, both of whom are severely Autistic, and our first experience with lice was yesterday when our daughter was sent home from school with a pretty bad infestation. After calling our local Lice Squad (Toronto), we made an appointment for this morning.

Our daughter has extreme hypersensitivity with everything to do with her head (it took over two years for her to become OK wearing a winter hat!), and we were all pretty anxious about how she'd react to any sort of treatment, let alone the caustic shampoos we wanted to avoid if at all possible. Your technician Lisa spent several hours treating us, and she was exceptionally kind, patient, and determined to ensure we all had what we needed to feel educated and equipped to maintain the high-level of care she provided to my family. Our daughter has already mentioned Lisa several times since she left today: "I did it! I saw my Lisa! I had my hair! Hooray!".

Thank you for providing such special services to our special-needs family. We will recommend you to everyone, always!"

HEAD LICE EDUCATION


HEAD LICE EDUCATION
I am well into my second week of the Nice Lice Lady blog and I hope the New Year is treating you well.  I thought I would write on the importance of head lice education this week.  After all it is what most of my clients crave and what seems to be lacking around the topic of head lice.  You can Google head lice and get a plethora of information.  Some helpful and some just plain wacky.  What I find are a lot of inconsistencies when it comes to head lice education.  This causes a great deal of confusion and stress.  Knowing the Facts of Lice is half the battle so here is my best lice advice and what I feel is a good start on your head lice education journey. 

LICE FACTS
             Female head lice lay lice eggs.
             One female louse lays 3 to 5 eggs per day on the hair shaft.
             To succeed at eliminating a head lice infestation, one must remove all lice eggs and lice from the hair.
             The lice eggs are tear-shaped, usually brown in colour, and are attached to only one side of the hair shaft. Lice egg look-alikes, are white, they surround the hair shaft and are often misdiagnosed as lice eggs.  Nits are empty or dead lice eggs.  They are see-through and will stick to the hair shaft on one side. 
             Most mothers waste both time and energy doing countless washing of bed sheets and clothes. Lice are not living in your environment.  They are living on your head.  See our 3 easy steps to cleaning your environment in the Free Head Lice Help Kit on our home page.
             Pesticide sprays & treatments should be used with caution or in our opinion, not at all.
             Don’t rely on products that claim to kill nits.  Lice eggs must be removed by hand.
             We provide a Free Nit Diagnosis Service, and a free head lice help kit including the facts of lice and easy environmental care tips.  Click here to view http://www.licesquad.com/resources/head-lice-help-kit or call us for details.

What are Head Lice?


I am happy to be starting the first entries into the Lice Lady Blog. I think one of the first things people want to know is what are head lice? All too often people do not know what to look for and many are misdiagnosed and treated unnecessarily. Head lice are small black to brown bugs 1 to 4 mm in length with six legs. They feed off the human scalp and do not hop, jump or fly. Their eggs are brown when viable and are attached to one side of the hair shaft on an angle and cannot be blown or flicked off. They are never white and will not move on the hair shaft unlike other hair debris. If you want to know the facts of lice visit the home page and click on the Free Head Lice Help Kit. There you will find pictures and other helpful education. I am also including a great video here for you. I hope this has been helpful and please feel free to contact us anytime is you have further questions about head lice and treatment options. Have a great day.
