There is a particular kind of dread that comes with a lice diagnosis, and very little of it is about the lice. It is about who finds out. Parents ask us about this in Brentwood more than anywhere else we work.

So it is worth saying plainly: we come to your house. No clinic, no reception desk, no sitting in a waiting room next to someone from your child's class. An unmarked arrival, a couple of hours at your kitchen table, and it is dealt with.

Serving the whole neighborhood

We cover Brentwood from San Vicente Boulevard up through Brentwood Glen and Crestwood Hills, and across to the Sunset corridor. Bel Air is over one ridge, Santa Monica is south, and Pacific Palisades is a straight run west, all of which we work regularly. If lice has already moved between households at a birthday party or a sleepover, we can often handle several families in one afternoon.

Treating everyone at once

The single most useful thing a household can do is check every head on the same day. Lice does not stay put. It moves between siblings, and it moves to parents, and an adult infestation frequently produces no itching at all for the first couple of weeks.

Hourly pricing makes this straightforward. You are paying for time, not per head, so checking a partner or a grandparent who turns out to be clear barely registers on the bill. What lengthens a visit is hair, mostly its length and thickness, and how long the infestation has been building.

Brentwood spans a lot of ground, from the flats near San Vicente where kids walk to school, up into Crestwood Hills and Brentwood Glen where a visit means winding streets and a longer driveway. Neither is unusual for us. What we see most often here is a family that already tried a drugstore treatment because it felt faster, then called us a few days later when the itching came back. It's exactly why we check the whole household rather than just the child who was sent home from school, since a parent or sibling can be carrying it quietly the whole time the first treatment was happening.

The method

We comb, thoroughly and in sections, with a comb designed to strip eggs from the hair shaft, and we use an oil that loosens them enough to come free. Nothing in the process depends on a pesticide shampoo. Families in this neighborhood have usually tried two or three drugstore products before calling, which is part of why the infestation is often further along than they realise by the time we arrive.

Every treatment carries a fourteen day guarantee. The Hair Whisperers has been doing this since 2006.
