Magic Nit Pick

Expensive & unsuccessful! My daughter had lice and we were treated at Magic Nit. We were told we needed to purchase their products and repeat treatment every 2 days for 3 more times. WOW, lots of work! After the last treatment, I was still finding lice. I did 2 additional at home treatments and still LICE! I took her to her follow up appointment at Magic Nit where I was told she was lice free. But then she told me to give her one more treatment that evening??? So I did and I found 1 baby lice (red dot) and immediately searched for a new company. The new company, Hair Whisperers, came to my home and gave her a very thorough lice check and found 15 new eggs in her hair. We choose to have a heat treatment (only treatment that kills eggs but your child must be 4 years or older) which was successful. Don’t waste your time or money at Magic Nit.

Nora is amazing. I called on a Friday morning and was at the salon within two hours of my call. Nora calmed me down, took care of my kids and made the whole nightmare not seem so bad. Would recommend Her and Magic Nit Pick to anyone facing a lice problem.

We are so grateful for Nora and the Magic Nit Pick. She saved my head and my boys (TWICE). It’s not funny when you get lice, but we laugh and enjoy ourselves when Nora saves our heads! She is patient and thorough, and someone we trust. She also lets you see what’s in your head, it’s no joke .
There is an epidemic of lice in our schools and camps and having a place like the Magic Nit Pick is a blessing. This is too big for a laymen to handle ! You can do it all you want, but you need Nora to save you ! She’ll even show you how you can help it along. Do not ignore her !!! Do what she says. I did and I feel like a lice champion !
RUN, do not walk ! If you feel the «itch «, don’t ignore it. If there is lice at your school or camp, do not think it can’t be you and your children. None of us are immune. Let the Magic Nit Pick and Nora help you ! It’s worth every penny. Every single «lousey» penny !

After my bad experience, Lucy personally reached out to me. She was apologetic and made sure I received a full refund.

Where do I begin? I recently discovered head lice on my 10 year old daughter for a 2^nd time. This place truly has a special place in my heart. We had our first traumatizing experience when my daughter was 4. She caught lice In preschool at 4 years old. After 2 months of no sleep, paranoia and attempting to treat it at home we gave up. Not knowing these services existed 6 years ago we resorted to shaving my daughters hair off. I never forgave myself for that as it left my daughter very traumatized. Well here we are again 6 years later. A few days ago I discovered she had gotten it again. Frantic is an understatement. But I knew there was no way I would put my child through that again. At 7 am I started googling lice removal services and came across magic nit pick. Lucy answered the phone, she had the most calming, soothing voice. She gave me the first available appointment 2 hours later. I kept thinking to myself there is no way this process is going to be simple. I was wrong!!! After we arrived I discovered not
Only did my daughter have it but so did my 8 year old son and myself!!! I had never had it so now the fear was even greater. We also discovered another family member to have caught it as well. Nevertheless we all received the treatment. Today was our follow up. All of the woman, Lucy, Karen and Nora were sooo extremely kind. Did not make us feel like we had some disease. I have never felt so comfortable in my life. This place is a gem!!! We are all officially lice free!!! I wish I had a service like this when this happened the first time. I have purchased all of their products and hopefully will never have the need for their services again. But if it happens I know where to turn. I am for ever grateful.

Can’t say enough good things about Magic Nit Pick. When I found out my daughter had lice, I looked in Unilocal,dreading finding a place and how long it would take to get an appt and how far away it would be. I called and immediately the phone was answered and I was able to literally bring my kids in THAT NIGHT — at 730pm. As sad as it is we all had lice but the women there are so sweet. No question seems to annoy them. They were kind and understanding. Prices are very reasonable. We are currently getting our second follow up and hopefully soon we will all be free. I highly recommend this place.

I had to wait two weeks before writing this review because I went a bit lice crazy…
Magic Nit Pick helped me not lose my sanity. I contacted them after finding lice eggs in my own hair after I already treated my 13 year old (with RID which does not work all the time, btw) who caught it at school. (Apparently, according to the LA Times, there is currently a lice epidemic caused by teens taking too many selfies! lol) Anyway, I contacted Magic Nit Pick, who I found on Unilocal,and Lucy got back to me right away. Lucy accommodated my daughters and me with an appointment later that day.
We arrived and were greeted by Nora (who is my angel). She was comforting and understanding, and totally helped me not lose my mind completely. (I had not slept for more than 24 hours at this point because I was worrying about little bugs crawling through my head.) She checked both of my daughters and myself, and treated only my oldest daughter and me. She showed us what she found (which thankfully wasn’t too much. Nora was a sweetheart, caring, honest, and genuine. She taught us so much that day about lice, how to protect ourselves, and that this happens to everyone. I also appreciated that they have toys and a play area to keep the little ones entertained, which was great for my 4 year old. We left that day spending about $ 275.00, which paid for two treatments, an additional lice check for my little girl, a Nit Free lice repellant spray, a bottle of lice home treatment, and a stainless steel nit removal comb, not to mention, my sanity. I believe this was not much to pay for the services and products we received.
I called the number I had on the card the next day to confirm my follow-​up appointments and spoke with Lucy for a few minutes. Lucy was very knowledgeable and also very sweet. She answered all my questions without sounding annoyed or exasperated. I appreciated that very much.
We returned for our follow-​ups, and I had a second treatment done just to be safe. Nora was so confident in her work that she gave me a hug. She’s great.
I am so thankful to have found Magic Nit Pick. No one at home would have been able to do for me what they did for me. THANK YOU LADIES SO MUCH. I have shared my experience with friends and told people that you guys are the people to go to if this ever happens to them.

Thank you Magical Nit Pick!!! You truly saved the day! My daughter is a first grader and until now, I didn’t even know what lice or nits looked like. I got a call from my daughters school, after her teacher sent her to the nurse, because she kept scratching her head and her teacher could see nits in her hair. I live 30 minutes away from Magical Nit Pick, but I remember my friend telling me about the lice removal salon, so I called and was told to bring my daughter right in. I was absolutely shocked, when the girl started combing through my daughters long, thick hair. She was pulling out four generations of lice. My daughter had lice for at least a month. This girl worked on her long, tangled hair, for four and a half hours. She was so patient and gentle with my daughter, who’s super sensitive to anything that has to do with her hair. I too had a few nits and got a treatment as well. I am so grateful for the all natural products used. We received a huge bottle of the treatment solution and did two more at home treatments. I still have solution left. I’m pretty sure my daughter got lice from the movies, because not one of her classmates had lice. Now, each time we go to the movies, our entire family gets sprayed with the Magical Nit Pick lice repellant. The thing I’m most thankful for is having an operation like Magical Nit Pick to go to. The thought of doing the removal on my own and in my own home, creeps me out completely. I feel like the four generations of lice would of been jumping off and spreading in my house. My husband and my son never got the lice and I truly believe it’s because the Magical Nit Pick employee cared so much and didn’t stop, until each and every lice and nit were removed. AMAZING!!! I can’t say enough. I was also surprised by the beautiful and zen setting that the owner created. She also has a play corner to keep siblings entertained. My three year old son kept quite busy and we all got through this yucky moment, in the most comforting way. I see I’ve written quite a lot and I could go on and on, but I think I’ve made it clear that Magical Nit Pick is a true gem. With sincere gratitude!

I’m going to vouch for all the other reviews on here. Magic Nit Pick is THE place to go to efficiently and calmly remove these un-​welcomed guests. We have two school-​aged kids and it seems like lice are just a part of life at this point. 7pm Sunday night, we were putting my son to bed and… oh no… the telltale nits were there. We called Magic Nit Pick in a frenzy and Lucy had us come in immediately. She checked all 4 of us and removed the nits from my son’s head. Her rates are truly reasonable as far as this type of service goes — I had my daughter treated by another company last year and they charged significantly more. I never leave reviews on Unilocal,but felt compelled to jump on and give a plug for Magic Nit Pick because: #1) Lucy was incredibly responsive (some other companies I tried didn’t answer the phone) #2) She quickly and efficiently handled our problem, all while making everyone feel at ease #3) her rates are reasonable. What more can you ask?

This place saved my sanity! All 3 of my daughters had lice and they managed to pass it to me too. After trying the over-​the-​counter treatments that did NOTHING to help with the nits, I really thought I wasn’t going to have any other option but to start shaving heads. But Google sent me the godsend that is Lucy at Magic Nit Pick! Her calm professionalism helped to instantly soothe my frayed nerves and she managed to have us all cleaned up in just a few hours. She’s so knowledgeable and honest about the whole process. Her service was worth every penny! I cannot recommend this place high enough!

I fell upon this site after being worn out from trying to clear my daughter of lice and still finding nits weeks later… After my daughter was crying, because she was tired of me checking her again, I felt like I needed help. I had used another lice removal company a few years ago and felt like it was such a business, feeling pressured and like they were doing me the favor. After spending an exorbitant amount of money, I swore I would become the lice specialist and would never rely on a company again. Cut to a week ago, losing my mind I came upon the Unilocal reviews for Magic Nit Pick. I spoke with Lucy on a late Saturday afternoon and she was so calming and helpful and even made time for us to come in an hour later. The salon is clean and welcoming. Sonia checked my daughter, husband and me and then treated my daughter. Prices were reasonable and the package we purchased included an ample amount of product for recheck and a great comb. After checking my daughter twice at home and then returning a week later, she is now lice free and we are all much happier. Both Lucy and Sonia were caring and efficient and had a great knowledge of how to treat and prevent lice infestations. I highly recommend Magic Nit Pick. If you are unfortunate to have a lice infestation in your household, knowing that you have Magic Nit Pick there to help you out is a definite comfort and an even pleasant experience. You are not alone.

Lice is a horrible experience but Magic Nit Pick was the saving grace for my family. They’re facility is calm and the staff is knowledgable and reassuring. I’ve used another service prior to this that I loved but could not get a hold of them today and based on the reviews here on Unilocal,decided to give Magic Nit pIck a try. I’m so happy with my choice. I think most lice removal places are effective, the questions are more about value and customer service. Well, the prices are beyond reasonable here and the service was stellar. Hopefully, we’re done with the lice thing for a while, but if we are ever in need, I’ll be calling Magic Nit pick, no doubt about it.

My daughter had lice check at her school and was told by a «professional lice checker» that she had lice. After the 4^th time this has happened by this company, I knew I needed a second opinion. My daughter is mixed and has thick thick hair. Lots of conditioner and products are in her hair to manage control. Lucy looked through her hair found no signs of lice. I handed her the «lice» sample taken from my daughters hair that the other company taped to their card. Lucy put it under the light and said. «This is not lice, it’s dandruff, do you want to see what it really looks like?» I politely declined. What a relief. I was so worried to even let Lucy know in the beginning why I was coming. In fear that she would agree with the other lice company. Lucy wasn’t out for the money she was their to provide an honest service. Thanks Lucy!

Lucy (the owner) found lice in my daughter’s hair in her classroom. I called that day and was able to make an appointment that afternoon. Lucy was friendly and made my daughter feel so comfortable. I even had a hair check. Thankfully I didn’t have lice (this time). She was also so informative and answered all my questions and concerns in detail about lice. She guarantees her work and gave me easy instructions to do at home. A week later we came in for a head check to make sure all the eggs were gone. She again was wonderful with my daughter. Thankfully my daughter ‘s head was lice free! Lucy took care of the lice! I am thankful to have found Lucy! I will definitely see her again if needed.

I was referred by my daughter’s pediatrician so I felt very comfortable coming here from the beginning. I was very impressed with the salon and the owner. Prior to making an appointment I spoke extensively with Lucy and she answered all my questions and was very reassuring. She was also totally and completely up front with pricing. Lucy also guarantees her work and has you come back a week or so later to do a head check just to make sure everything is gone. She will also send you home with the shampoo, conditioner, and repellant, all of this is included in the price. Other salons will tell you one price but you’ll end up paying much more and if you need to go back, you’ll end up paying twice. I will always recommend Magic Nit pick to everyone!

Lice is a drag and when your child gets it, you just want someone to make it go away. Lucy, the owner at Magic Nit Pick, does just that. The shop is quaint and comfortable. She’ll work with your schedule, and then take care of business. Lucy just makes everything okay. After one visit, my girls were lice free, though follow-​up is important. It’s not necessarily cheap, especially if you have more than one child affected, but I almost would have paid anything. Thumbs up for Magic Nit Pick — I hope I never have to use them again!

I’ve been to a few different lice removal places over the years with my two daughters and I always found them impersonal and a little depressing — not because of the subject matter but because of the atmosphere and people working there. But Magic Nit Pick is great! It feels like a nice, stylish, regular hair salon and the owner, Lucy, is so friendly and knowledgable. She actually makes lice removal a pleasant experience — seriously! Hopefully our last visit will really be our last, but if not at least I will no longer dread having to deal with it.
