Our Story
About Lice Beware
Lice Beware is a Mt Pleasant, South Carolina lice and nit removal company that has been getting Lowcountry families through one of parenting's least glamorous moments since 2012. We do one thing, and we do it thoroughly: clear out the lice, comb out every last nit, and send you home confident it's actually over.
It started with a local mom
Lice Beware was founded by Shelly Klimas, a local mother who knew firsthand how stressful a lice notice from school can be. Anyone who has spent a late night squinting under a lamp with a flimsy drugstore comb knows the feeling. Shelly wanted to give Charleston-area parents a better option than the box-kit-and-pray routine, and Lice Beware grew out of that.
A method built to work the first time
We were the first removal center in the Lowcountry to bring together two proven techniques. The Flosonix heated-air method uses carefully controlled warm air to dehydrate lice and their eggs, and the Shepherd Method™ is a comprehensive, strand-by-strand approach to removing the nits left behind. Together they're safe for children and designed to end an infestation in a single visit, instead of dragging it out over weeks of home treatments.
Products you can feel good about using
Treatment doesn't stop at the door. The Lice Beware product line is nontoxic and completely pesticide-free. It's made to eliminate lice, lift out nits, and create a barrier that helps keep them from coming back, without the harsh chemicals found in many over-the-counter kits. It's the same all-natural approach our technicians rely on in the clinic.
We'd rather not see you twice
A big part of what we do is teaching. Every family leaves knowing how lice actually spread, what to watch for, and the simple habits that lower the odds of a repeat visit. We're happy to answer questions long after your appointment is done.
We also come to you: Lice Beware provides head checks for schools, daycares, and summer camps across the area, catching cases early before they move through a classroom or a cabin.
Proudly part of the Lowcountry
We've been serving Mt Pleasant and the greater Charleston area since 2012, and we treat every family the way Shelly first set out to, with patience, honesty, and a calm reminder that lice is common, it's treatable, and no parent has to handle it alone.
