Culver City is compact, and its schools draw from a small area. That combination is good for a lot of things and unhelpful for exactly one: when head lice gets into a class here, it tends to move through the connected families quickly, because the same children see each other at school, at practice and at weekends.

The practical response is to treat the whole household at once rather than one child at a time, and to do it early.

We come to the house

The Hair Whisperers is a mobile service and has been since 2006. We arrive at your home with the combs, the oil and the LouseBuster, a device that treats using heated air rather than pesticide shampoo, and we work there. Nobody has to drive anywhere.

We cover Culver City fully, from Downtown and the Arts District through Culver Crest, Blair Hills and Fox Hills. Mar Vista and Palms sit immediately west and north, and Playa Vista is south, all of which are on our regular route.

Everyone gets checked

We look at every head in the house on the same visit. Parents are the most commonly missed, because an adult can carry an early infestation for a couple of weeks without noticing much. A sibling who has not complained yet is very often already infested too.

Hourly pricing is what makes this workable. You are paying for the time the work takes rather than a fee per head, so adding a check is a matter of minutes. The real drivers of a visit's length are hair length, hair thickness, and how far along the infestation is.

What treatment looks like

Sectioned, systematic combing with a lice comb built to pull eggs off the hair shaft, after an oil has loosened them. It is careful, repetitive work, and it is what actually clears a case. Most of the families we see have already spent money on an over the counter product that did not work, which is common and not their fault. The lice now widespread in California largely survive those treatments.

Every treatment carries a fourteen day guarantee.
