At Hair Wizards they offer a wizard of a service to get kids back to school and parents back to their everyday life. 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. For many families, head lice are a private and often time, uncomfortable and embarrassing experience. 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!
