A Lousy Business

Such a life saver! I work with children and came down with lice. Louise was so sweet and kind. And did an amazing job.

After spending $ on Rid and 5 hours nitpicking my daughters thick long hair one day, then several more hours with each passing day I finally called Louise after a friend gave me her name. Let me say right now, waste no time to think about it, call her if you think you may have lice. She is an expert and will immediately save you from this overwhelming, but common ordeal! She is warm, generous, educated and makes the experience almost like a spa treatment! My daughter loved her, which says a lot since 15 yr olds only like their our species :) !! Louise has reasonable rates, great products, a giving heart and even answers her own phone. Got lice? Call her for best results, service, and price. Thanks Louise!

I cannot say enough amazing things about Louise! So, very embarrassed to publicly write this, I came home from work with a very itchy scalp. Turns out my students, I’m a preschool teacher, gave me the little buggers! After freaking out and scouring my house I called Louise based on the reviews and proximity. She was so sweet! I came over the next day, she has the most beautiful house and awesome cat, and she educated me all about lice. She even had an injured thumb and took care of my long, curly, thick hair! After 2 hours, she even have me a ride home because we’re neighbors. She gave me a little «to go» kit and will do another check for me at the end of the week. Now you tell me, what lice salon would do all that?! Some of the best customer experience eva! Thank you Louise for all of your help!

Louise was amazing! I found her by checking online and read all of the reviews I would give 6 stars if I could.
We never had to deal with lice before but our turn finally came. Spent too many hours combing my daughters hair before I couldn’t take it anymore. Louise came to our house armed with her lice kit and went to work. She made the whole process so easy and left us feeling so much better about the whole thing. My daughter sat still the whole time. After she left my daughter told me, I really like that lady, I think I have a crush. I think we all do. Don’t even think about not calling her. Just do it you won’t regret it.

Wonderful experience… my 6 yr old daughter got lice from school and i had never had them… We spent a couple weeks over christmas trying to get rid of them and then i ended up with them…
I had made an appt at a lice salon but i didn’t feel comfortable after reading reviews then I found A Lousy Buisness and when i called, Louise was out of town but she stayed on the phone with me and helped me really understand lice and how she works… I immediately canceled my appt with the salon and waited 2 days for Louise to get back with out a second thought…
She is amazing!!! Came to my apartment, set up, and went thru what she was gonna do then explained it to my daughter in a very fun simple way for her. She has coloring mats for the kids to color on, she extremely gentle and just super fun to be around! Meanwhile we talked about what to do in my home to get rid of lice that could be on the furniture/​bedding. I feel like an expert now :)
We ended up just having a mild case. Louise went over with me the after care (also left a cute postcard with instructions and another one as a certificate to bring to school) and ill see her in a week just to get a check. Also she does have the same product she used to treat us for sale. Its just a suggestion and you feel comfortable not buying. Before she left she gave my daughter a cute headband.
There is no way i would ever step into a lice salon… you can not find this kind of personal touch somewhere like that… Shes affordable and she loves what she does!

Listen, if you’re a parent, you’re bound to deal with lice at some point. And let’s be honest, it’s not gonna rate highly on your «rite of passage“moments. In fact, it was the stuff of nightmares, as far as I was concerned. My memories of lice infestation included painful tearing at the hair with a weapon of a comb and a stinky pesticide-​laden shampoo that announced to anyone within a mile’s radius that you had nits.
Imagine my horror when I discovered a crawler in my six year old’s head.
Enter Louise. She wasted no time whatsoever in getting to work, immediately washing my daughter’s hair while I rinsed mine. She spoke comfortingly and totally put me at ease — she completely dispelled any of the outdated and unfair stigma attached to what really is a very common childhood problem. Within 40 minutes my hair was lice free (did I mention I got them too?) and my daughter, who incidentally has super curly hair was up next. Louise uses amazing tools to glide through the hair without one snag or tangle. And my kid’s haired smelled like Peppermint to boot!
Louise uses paraben-​free, all natural, but most importantly EFFECTIVE products. She educates you while she works, and leaves you with a prescription for follow-​up that empowers you while taking the ick out of the situation.
Her rates are incredibly reasonable, and she’s a joy to work with. I’d recommend her to anyone who’s too busy, too grossed out or too overwhelmed to deal with lice. Lice infestation is a serious business. Don’t spend a ton on products that won’t work like I did. Do yourself and your family a favor and let Louise take care of it. You’ll be so glad you did!

I am so happy with her service, not only she is friendly, knowledgeable and kind, her ability to fix the problem is beyond excellent. I am so happy she can come to our house, which makes scheduling easier and no need to wait. She does have her own product which is all excellent. Having a kid in elementary, lice issues can come anytime, and having Louise on my cell phone speed dial is like having a secure insurance :) I will give more than 5 stars if available.

Lousie is wonderful! She is calm, thorough, and extremely helpful with both her treatment and information. She is caring, and also really fun!

Louise was great! My head was scratching and I was scared it was lice. I called Louise and she was able to see me that same day. She’s friendly and very professional. Turns out I didn’t have lice but she still checked my head thoroughly to be 100% sure. I highly recommend her!

I cant say enough about how great I thought Louise was. She is so sweet, super responsive and really knows what she is doing. Firstly, I have two daughters and we all have medium to long hair, and as can happen, we all got it! I was in a state, until Louise came in. She is so calm, and great with kids. My daughters who are 6 and 8 just loved her. She has wonderful, non toxic to people, but toxic to lice, products that she never tries to push on you, but you’ll definitely want to buy, because they actually smell great. She thoroughly went through, each of our hair, and made sure we were all clear, and then after repeating the process a few times over the next week or so (on our own with the kit we bought from her), we are happily bug free! Louise really makes sure that you have all the tools and skills to go over the process on your own if you need or want. But If they ever do come back, I would not hesitate to call her again. Also need to add that I think her fees are so fair for the service she provides. Really Highly recommend her if you are ever in this «Lousy» situation

Louise was just wonderful. Amazing people skills. On time, considerate, professional, and very sweet. The price was very reasonable, too, compared to other services I looked up in the area.
She’s also very honest, she didn’t try to sell me a bunch of products I didn’t need.
If you are in the midst of a freak out right now and scratching the hell out, just call her. Don’t even think about it. :)

Louise is fantastic. Totally talked me off a ledge, totally made the unmanageable feel manageable. She’s warm, calm, competent, and just takes care of business. She went above and beyond in making sure our household was lice-​free moving forward. She genuinely cares about the people she works with. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience — lice notwithstanding.

So the reality is, no one wants to get head lice. In fact, I have dreaded it for years and thanked the Bug Gods for missing us every year when the infestations hit.
Well, you can’t dodge that bullet forever and finally I had to make that panicked call to my friends – «WHO DO I CALL?!!»
The easy answer is LOUISE! Louise took the «ick» out of the experience by providing us with pragmatic and calm information. She stopped me from boiling all my clothes in lye and bleaching my walls and gave me easy steps to help prevent re-​infestation, while she calmly combed through my daughters waist length hair.
Louise knows what she is talking about, she is professional, kind and wonderful with children (and grossed out, panicking parents).
Thank you, Louise, for helping us!

Louise is amazing and an angel! Somehow she makes having lice a lovely experience! She walked us through everything and made the whole horrible facts of having lice manageable and a tolerable family experience. My kids actually ask after her regularly because they love her so much. Certainly never want lice ever again, but would be completely OK with it solely to work with Louise again!

Yesterday at this time I was freaking out. I had just found out I had lice (at the hairdresser no less) and we were leaving on a trip in 48 hours. We have never had lice before and I was freaking out. Louise was over within three hours of my call and went through the heads of everyone in our family plus a visitor. She gave solid advice about how to handle it and was SO good with the kids. She doesn’t push anything on you and truly wants to help you through it.
I recommend her highly. My daughter said «I liked that lady, she knew what she was talking about»!

Louise is a patient professional who genuinely loves kids! When we discovered that our daughter had some unwanted head guests, we quickly called friends for advice. Louise was highly recommended and with good reason. She was so informative, patient, kid friendly and just all around lovely. She really made this experience as pleasant as could be. She was able to come to our location within a few hours and brought art projects for the kids to enjoy while she treated and combed them. That and she got rid of the lice!!! Our family HIGHLY recommend her services.

Louise is a lovely warm fun person and extremely professional. She came over right away and charged a very reasonable amount to check me when lice paranoia had me scratching like mad. If lice isn’t something you can deal with on your own or if you need to have yourself checked because your husband is useless (at lice), look no further than Louise. Also, she can bring you the products you need to get and stay lice-​free.

Louise is a miracle worker. My daughter, my son and I were all infested. She got through all three of us in about 3 hours, was cheerful and fun for the kids, extremely knowledgeable and very reasonably priced. She also taugh me exactly what to do in for follow up or for future infestations so that we can handle it ourselves next time if we choose to. I definitely recommend her.

Louise made my children feel immediately at ease. She really thinks about how to keep the kids happy and entertained during a lengthy visit! Prompt and relaxed.

We met Louise last fall when our school had an outbreak. She’s great: very knowledgeable, relaxed, and just a lovely human being. She put my son at ease at once, and I think he was actually sad to see her go!
