Frequently Asked Questions
Honest answers to the questions Lowcountry parents ask us most.
Common signs include itching (especially behind the ears and at the nape of the neck), tiny white or yellowish specks (nits) glued tightly to the hair shaft near the scalp, and small moving insects in the hair. If you're unsure, our $25 Head Check gives you a definitive answer in 15 minutes.
The Shepherd Method™ is a strand-by-strand manual nit removal technique used by 400+ certified lice treatment centers worldwide. It is meticulous, thorough, and proven — and our technicians are fully trained and certified in it.
Flosonix is an FDA-cleared medical device that uses precisely timed heated air to dehydrate and kill 100% of lice eggs. It's chemical-free, painless, and clients can return to school or work immediately afterward.
Yes. All of our products are all-natural, nontoxic, pesticide-free, and enzyme-based — safe for children of all ages and for the whole family. Flosonix is FDA-cleared and uses only heated air.
We recommend a head check for everyone in the household. Lice spread through close head-to-head contact, so anyone in the home could be affected. We'll let you know who needs treatment after a quick screening.
Anywhere from 15 minutes (Head Check) to about 90 minutes (Flosonix Heated Air Treatment). Most full treatments take roughly 1 hour 15 minutes per person.
Yes. Every treatment comes with a written guarantee and free follow-up appointments. If lice return within the guarantee period, we take care of it at no additional cost.
We provide a simple after-care plan: washing pillowcases and recently worn clothes in hot water, vacuuming car seats and upholstered furniture, and bagging items that can't be washed for 48 hours. No fumigation or extreme cleaning required.
We accept HSA and Flex Spending Accounts. While most insurance plans do not cover lice treatment, we provide detailed receipts for your records.
