Today’s Jens List is sponsored by the Hair Wizard Salon – The Head Lice Masters.  At Hair Wizards they offer a wizard of a service to get kids back to school and parents back to their everyday life. There is no problem they cannot solve when it comes to lice treatment and nit removal. In the kids-friendly salon they create a fun atmosphere for the children who might otherwise freak out at the prospect of have their heads treated for lice. They will sit still and cooperate, when they won’t do so for their parents. For many families, head lice are a private and often time, uncomfortable and embarrassing experience. Although they would like to see this stigma banished, they know the head lice will still cause many people embarrassment, stress and frustration. Head lice are a common affliction affecting millions of Americans each year. It has nothing to do with cleanliness, environment, status or income. In fact, lice are attracted to anyone who has hair on their head, since they need hair for laying their eggs (nits) and scalp to live and feed on. Go to them OR they can come to you! Covered by some insurance companies!

Call (818)-501-0101 for an appointment and lice won’t have a chance!

Are you the parent of this child?
A Jens List member was at the Brentwood Souplantation May 6th around 11:45 AM.  She saw a Hispanic nanny come in with 2 blonde toddlers (one boy and one girl) she had a stroller with her too. They sat in the back of the restaurant. The little boy was crying and upset, the nanny reluctantly got up, removed him from his high chair and abruptly put him on the ground. The little boy continued cry and saw pushed him slightly from his shoulder then when he continued to cry she pushed him again by the head then sat him down at another table with a nanny that had a boy his age.
Nanny Description: About 120lbs, 5ft, medium length hair closed on bun under a blue and white stripe hat (kind of like a train conductors hat).  Small gold hoop earrings, white long sleeve button down shirt with black t shirt under, velour type material sweat pants with a thin blue stripe on the sides. 
Little Boy: Blond curly hairly, green shirt (unfortunately I didn’t get more)
