Mobile Lice Treatments - What they Don’t Tell You

Mobile Lice Treatments – What they Don’t Tell You

/0 Comments/in /by

Bringing someone into your home to treat your family for a lice infestation may sound like a convenient choice. But there is a lot to consider before calling a mobile lice treatment service. Let’s lay down the facts regarding the differences between professional head lice treatment clinics and mobile services.

Treating More People

When your entire family is infested with lice, time is a big factor in the price for at-home services. Mobile treatments are notorious for charging by the hour for a single head lice technician. When coming into a head lice clinic your entire family can easily be treated at once by multiple technicians, saving you time and money!

The FDA-Cleared AirAllé Device

Simply put, our exclusive, FDA-cleared AirAllé devices are superior to all other head lice removal methods. The treatment is fast, safe, effective, and there are never any pesticides or toxins used.


In-home mobile lice treatments notably use OTC head lice treatments that pose real health risks and require follow up treatments. The AirAllé process is a single treatment that takes about 90 minutes. No follow up necessary. All Fresh Head’s salon chairs are selected with your comfort in mind during our professional treatments. At-home treatments, with their oils and shampoos, are performed in your own personal furniture in your house… Do you really want to be sitting on your own furniture while having lice removed?

The Head Lice Treatment Clinic Advantage

At Fresh Heads Head Lice Removal clinics we provide the highest quality lice removal services to our clients. Our clinics are stocked, well-lit and provide multiple treatment options performed by trained technicians. It is essential that the treatment environment is conducive to both the head lice technicians and the clients. Every Fresh Heads client can relax knowing they are receiving the highest level of care and never have to worry about cleaning up.

Mobile lice treatments have to navigate through traffic, making their appointment times hard to guarantee. They are working with a limited number of supplies and a smaller team (if they aren’t going solo). Aside from this, the lighting in your home might not be the best to see all of the louses and nits, and you might not have the space and seating needed.

Our Trained Technicians Aren’t Rushed

Because there’s an ample supply of materials and technicians, a technician in a clinic will not be rushed, they will be equipped and not rushed. This means they can go through the proper steps ensuring lice removal is complete.

Mobile service providers balance multiple clients, bouncing from one house to the next trying to make it to appointments on time. This increases the chance of slip-ups from feeling rushed.

The Salon Difference Matters

Mobile treatments and head lice clinics are an entirely different experience. At Fresh Heads Lice Removal Centers we offer the most effective head lice treatment available in a clean, comfortable environment with fixed prices, no follow up treatments necessary, and a 45-day guarantee. We also have unique offers like our lifetime protection plan. We take lice removal seriously! There’s no mess in your home, you can set appointments around your schedule (no more hoping someone shows up on time and gets the job done quickly!), there are no surprise expenses, and there is absolutely no follow up necessary.

Boy with head lice gets a buzz cut

Will a Buzz Cut Get Rid of Head Lice?

/0 Comments/in /by

It’s not uncommon for parents to reach for the clippers when their child comes home with head lice. But is a buzz cut truly an effective way to get rid of lice? The answer might surprise you! A buzz cut may help with prevention and it might even make the treatment process easier, but it is not an effective treatment for head lice. While the dreaded buzz cut can’t get the job done, using a natural head lice treatment like the FDA-cleared AirAllé machine, however, is clinically proven to be effective.

Buzz Cuts and Head Lice Prevention

Getting a buzz cut will not eliminate lice, but having very short hair is a good preventative measure. Head lice move easier from person to person when there’s something to grab onto, such as long hair. So, having shorter hair or a buzz cut does make the transfer of lice more difficult.

Buzz Cuts and Head Lice Treatment

When an active case of head lice is found on a child, natural head lice treatment is the best option. A buzz cut is not going to solve the problem. Head lice can live and lay nits in even ¼” of hair, so a buzz cut isn’t an effective lice treatment. In fact, a buzz cut can actually make the head lice removal process more difficult. That’s because with a buzz cut, the short hairs stand straight up. This makes it difficult to separate the hair when searching for lice and nits. It also makes it harder to comb for nits, as the comb has little traction with buzzed hair. Unless the hair is completely shaved off, head lice can still survive.

Natural Head Lice Treatment

Buzz cuts and over-the-counter products don’t effectively get rid of head lice. A chemical-free option such as the AirAllé treatment is the most effective tool for removing lice. The AirAllé is an FDA-cleared device that uses heated air to kill lice and nits rather than harsh chemicals. It has been used around the world to provide safe, fast and effective treatment for head lice – even the dreaded “super lice!”

The AirAllé Treatment

The 3-step AirAllé treatment offered at Fresh Heads can be done in about an hour. Our treatment is so effective, we stand behind it with a 45-day re-treatment policy. Here’s what to expect.

STEP 1: Working in sections, one of our trained technicians will begin by gently positioning the AirAllé applicator tip against the client’s scalp. It will be placed underneath the hair, blowing heated air along the scalp and hair shaft. The air flow is a bit higher than that of a hairdryer but at a cooler temperature. The device will be repositioned every 30 seconds until the entire head has been treated.

STEP 2: Once the AirAllé device has effectively killed the lice and eggs through dehydration, our technician will do a post-treatment comb-out. This is necessary to remove the dead lice and eggs that remain on the hair after treatment.

STEP 3: The final step of our signature AirAllé treatment is a post-treatment rinse with dimethicone oil. This step ensures that every last louse and nit has been effectively killed and removed.

Holy Outbreaks!

Yes, its true. We are very busy at Fresh Heads. Last week we did more treatments than we sometimes do in a month. And while we specialize in amazing head lice treatments, we also offer hope for the do it yourself-er. Is that you??? Most parents, facing a head lice problem will run straight to the University of Google. Let me save you some time…If you would like to try and tackle the problem yourself, the first thing you need to know is that over the counter pesticides do not work. You are more than welcome to call your pediatrician, and IF they will agree to prescribe you a stronger pesticide (many won’t hear of it), you need to know that you will probably spend more getting that prescription filled than you would of you were coming into Fresh Heads and getting a pesticide-free treatment that comes with a 30-day guarantee. So that doesn’t make much sense now does it? This leaves good old-fashioned home remedies, ahhhhhh mayonnaise anyone??? If you try and douse your child with mayo, not only will you still have lice, you will also have a child with resentments. The simple fact is, if you are going to do it yourself, you must be ready to do the work. YOU MUST HAVE A GOOD COMB! Oh please, oh please, oh please, toss that worthless comb you got at Walgreens (How can they even sell this stuff??). What you need is a Terminator Comb, sold at Fresh Heads for $15. It will change your life. Secondly, you need an all natural enzyme solution that will help loosen the glue that covers those dang nits. You will not be lice free until you are nit free, so get the right tools. Fresh Heads offers a fantastic combing solution, $15 for an 8oz bottle. Lastly, lets suffocate those suckers! Fresh Heads has the most amazing, no seriously, AMAZING silicone oil solution that kills those disgusting little creatures in seconds. The oil is specifically blended for lice killing, and literally stops them in their tracks. You can do it, you don’t have to (because we are really good at it), but you can if you want to. Just please, for your own sanity, get the right tools! We can even give you a quick combing tutorial, it’s all in the wrist!!!
