We come to you. Lice Free Noggins provides mobile, in-home lice treatment throughout the DC Metro area. No need to pack up the family and sit in a salon - our certified lice specialists arrive at your door with everything needed to treat your family in the comfort and privacy of your own home.

Common signs include intense itching of the scalp (especially behind the ears and at the nape of the neck), small red bumps or sores on the scalp, and visible nits (eggs) attached to the hair shaft. Sometimes there are no symptoms at all. If you suspect lice, we recommend scheduling a professional screening right away to get a definitive answer.

Yes. Our treatments are 100% natural and non-toxic, making them safe for children of all ages, pregnant women, and individuals with sensitive skin or scalp conditions. We never use pesticides or harsh chemicals - our strand-by-strand removal method physically eliminates both live lice and nits without any chemical exposure.

Yes. Lice Free Noggins guarantees to eliminate lice and viable nits in a single visit. Our technicians perform a thorough, meticulous comb-out using professional-grade nit combs and our natural Comb Out Spray, followed by a detailed inspection to ensure nothing is left behind. We also provide guidance on follow-up steps to prevent reinfestation.

Most treatments are completed in 60 to 90 minutes, depending on hair length, thickness, and the severity of the infestation. Screenings for families with multiple members may take additional time, but our specialists work efficiently to minimize disruption to your day.

Many over-the-counter lice treatments are increasingly ineffective. Research shows that the majority of head lice in the US - including the DC Metro area - have developed resistance to permethrin-based pesticides like those found in Nix and Rid. Professional manual removal, like the method used by Lice Free Noggins, is considered the most thorough and reliable approach.

"Super lice" are strains of head lice that have developed resistance to common over-the-counter pesticide treatments. They are widespread across the United States, including the DC Metro region. Super lice look and behave exactly like regular lice - the only difference is they cannot be killed with chemical treatments, making professional manual removal the most effective solution.

Yes. Upon completion of treatment, Lice Free Noggins can issue a certified lice clearance certificate that is recognized by schools, daycares, and camps in the DC Metro area. This certificate documents the services performed and confirms that the infestation has been professionally addressed.

Head lice spread almost exclusively through direct head-to-head contact. They cannot jump or fly. In busy environments like DC-area schools, daycares, after-school programs, sports teams, and sleepovers, transmission is common. Anyone in close contact with an infected person - including siblings and parents - should be screened. We offer whole-family screenings and treatment in a single visit.

Absolutely not. Lice are equal-opportunity parasites - they actually prefer clean hair. Having lice is not a reflection of hygiene, cleanliness, or living conditions. It is simply a very common and treatable condition, especially among school-age children. There is no shame in getting help.

Extensive housecleaning is not necessary. Lice cannot survive off a human host for more than 24-48 hours. We recommend washing recently used bedding and clothing on a hot cycle, vacuuming upholstered furniture, and soaking combs and brushes. Our technicians will walk you through everything you need to do - and just as importantly, what you don't need to do.

We understand lice are urgent. Lice Free Noggins offers same-day, late night and weekend appointments throughout the DC Metro area, including Washington DC, Maryland suburbs, and Northern Virginia. Call or book online and we will do our best to get a specialist to you as quickly as possible.

Lice Free Noggins charges a flat rate starting at $150-$225 per person. Pricing within that range depends on hair length and thickness, as well as the severity of the infestation. Cases involving extra long or thick hair and severe infestations may be subject to additional fees. Many families find that one professional treatment is far more cost-effective than purchasing multiple rounds of over-the-counter products that often fail to do the job.
