Happyheads Services, LLC
Pleasantville, NY
(800) 257-6069

When Melissa Gordon's then 5-year-old twins brought home lice and passed it on to her, she frantically used over-the-counter pesticides to treat the infestation. After the lice returned and she realized how harmful the products she used could be, she decided to create a better product. She experimented with essential oils and after consulting and working with some labs, she launched her brand of all-natural products that use ingredients like peppermint and tea tree oils, lemongrass, and enzymes that kill lice on contact. She offers a family kit for $60 packed with a comb and enough products for a family of four, plus a line of prevention products for under $20. Although Gordon provides occasional in-home removal services for $100 per hour, her main focus is on the products for people who don't want or can't afford professional removal services.

Lice Off, Inc.
Dobbs Ferry
(914) 424-1367

Fifteen years ago, Dale Longworth's daughter had lice six times in three months because she had not been properly educated on how to treat the infestations. Since then, Longworth did her homework and in 1997 opened up a salon with a focus on educating the masses about what she hadn't known. As the Lice Expert of Dobbs Ferry and Westchester, Longworth perfected her own method of lice removal, which includes "go-green" products such as all-natural shampoo, thick conditioner, white vinegar, and baking soda. During the 1-3 hour process of washing, drying, and combing, kids are kept entertained with lollipops, TV, and the occasional sing-along with Longworth and her assistants. Services start at $70 per hour in the salon and $100 per hour for home or travel-required services. In a recommended one-week follow-up, visual lice checks under the magnification lamp start at $20 and comb-outs at $35 depending on length and thickness of the hair. Besides the full list of services, the website touts some adorable "thank you" pictures from lice-free kids.
