We were visiting friends from across the country when we found lice in my hair. I panicked. My husband calmly googled and found Lice Charmers. Conor was so sweet and empathetic and got us in that very day. Lex calmed my anxiety, and the appointment took about an hour — much quicker than expected considering I have long, thick hair. Pain free, relaxing, and honestly not as big of a deal as I thought. Well worth every dollar.

How a Professional Lice Check Near You Works
What to expectEvery visit starts with a professional head lice check. Here's the whole path, from your first call to a definite answer — and treatment in the same visit only when it's actually needed.
-
1You call — we answer
No voicemail tag, no on-hold music. We pick up 7am–8pm, 7 days. Prefer to book online? That works too.
-
2Same-day or next-day appointment
We'll fit you into the SE Portland clinic, Beaverton clinic, or send a technician to your home — whichever is closer.
-
3Professional lice check (15–30 min)
We go through the hair section by section under professional lighting to confirm whether live lice or nits are present and how far they've spread. $45 per person — waived when you choose treatment that day.
-
4Lice found? 3-step treatment (30–60 min)
Heat dehydrates and kills live lice, super-lice, and the eggs they leave behind. Then hypoallergenic oil and a professional combing clear out the dead remains. Pesticide-free and safe for ages 4+.
-
5Verified & lice-free
A final inspection under professional lighting confirms there's nothing left. No follow-up appointment, no homework, no nit-picking at home.
-
6Clearance letter in hand
You leave with a written clearance letter accepted by Portland-area schools, daycares, and camps for same-day return — plus our 60-day guarantee.
