Real reviews from NYC families
In and out in 90 minutes! My daughter was lice-free and we caught our train home. The staff was so professional and kind.
They made my anxious 7-year-old feel so comfortable. No tears at all! Patient, gentle, and understanding. Treated us like family.
They checked every strand. Haven't had a single issue since. Most thorough lice check I've ever seen. Worth every penny.

Frequently asked questions
Not sure which option is right for you?
How long does the treatment take?
Most treatments take about an hour, depending on hair length and how many lice there are. We never rush. We take the time needed to remove every louse and nit.
Is your treatment safe for children?
Yes. Our manual removal is safe for children of all ages. We use no harsh chemicals or pesticides, just professional combs and non-toxic products. Our technicians are trained in gentle, kid-friendly care.
Do you really guarantee the results?
Yes. Every treatment comes with a 14-day lice-free guarantee. If lice come back because we missed a nit, we re-treat at no charge. A new exposure from school or a friend is a new case. Your free follow-up check at 7-10 days is included.
How quickly can I get an appointment?
We offer same-day appointments, based on availability. Call 917-742-2978 and we'll do our best to fit you in, often within a few hours. Our Manhattan clinic is open 7 days a week.
What's the difference between in-clinic and in-home?
Both give you the same thorough treatment and guarantee. In-clinic is $250 at our Brooklyn clinic or $300 in Manhattan. In-home adds a $150 travel fee, but we come to you and can treat your whole family at home.
Do I need to treat my whole family?
We recommend checking everyone. If lice are found, treating everyone with an active infestation on the same day helps keep them from coming back.
What should I bring to my appointment?
Just yourself. We provide all the tools and products. For longer hair, you may want to bring a hair tie. A comfortable shirt and a phone or tablet for entertainment help during treatment.
Is the follow-up check really free?
Yes. Your free follow-up check at 7-10 days is included with every treatment. Many clinics charge $100-150 for this. We include it because we stand behind our guarantee. Questions after your visit? Our phone support is open 24/7.
