You may have just found out today or maybe you've been struggling with it for months, even years. Wherever you are on your lice journey, just know that it is completely normal.
I've been where you are. I remember long stretches of my childhood being consumed by smelly shampoos that weren't working and endless laundry. No one should have to go through that, especially not a child. That's why I am committed to helping families break free and go from defeated to empowered!
Regardless of how long you've been battling lice, call me, even if it's just to ask questions and see how I can best support you.

Know What You're Up Against
A little knowledge goes a long way. Here's what we look for, and what we treat.
From egg to adult, head lice progress through three nymph stages over about 30 days. Breaking the cycle means removing every stage — which is exactly what we do.
Adult lice are about the size of a sesame seed, tan to grayish-white, and cling tightly to the hair shaft. They are difficult to spot without a trained eye and proper light.
Nits are lice eggs — tiny, oval, and firmly glued to the hair shaft. They are often mistaken for dandruff. Removing every nit is essential to ending an infestation for good.

Lice removal treatments are based on hair length because different lengths of hair require a different number of steps and processes.
Under 3 inches
For hair shorter than the length of an index finger — quicker to comb through, fewer steps required.

3 inches and longer
For hair longer than the length of an index finger — about 73% of people we treat fall into this category.

Kind Words
Lice Treatment Portland was fabulous. they took care of my kids' "issues" at our home while I cleaned and did laundry. they taught me how to prevent future problems, gave me the tools and skills I needed. they also checked me, my husband, and the neighbor children who play at our place. I give them my strongest recommendation.

Lice happens. Especially considering my child's school doesn't consider lice to be a "health hazard." Meaning kids aren't sent home when they have lice. Lice Treatment Portland By Lice Charmers was VERY thorough, great with kids, well educated and gentle. Excellent prices too. she was the ONLY treatment center that returned by phone call & she fit me in within less than 24 hours - on a Sunday! her treatments are all organic, pesticide free. Skip the others and go to Lice Treatment Portland!

This morning I saw what I thought was a live louse on my son's head. After calling around to find someone to check my kids' heads, Lice Treatment Portland By Lice Charmers fit me in super fast! It turned out we do not have lice or nits, but it was a great relief to know and not waste the time. I live in NE Portland and would gladly drive out to see Lice Treatment Portland again. she is very thorough and kind to the kids.

They are wonderful!!! They saved us!!! We had good conversation before during and after. Indeed they know what she is talking about completely! If you or anyone you know has lice, they need to gel their hair for 13 hours and cover it...use the whole bottle...then go see them immediately! You get a certificate that promises you are lice free!!! It was worth every cent!
