How to Prevent Head Lice Using Rosemary Repel Products

'An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.'

-Ben Franklin

Lately, it seems that a 'Lice Outbreak' notice is going home to parents every month. What are you supposed to do to keep lice from infecting your children and home?

Here are some helpful tips from 
Fairy Tales Hair Care for Children:

TIPS TO PREVENT HEAD LICE Avoid head to head contact at school and home. Do not share clothing, hats, scarves, sports uniforms and helmets,                                coats and hair accessories. Do not share combs and brushes or towels. Do not lie in beds, on couches or car seats that have recently been in                        contact with an infested person. Lice are usually spread thru head to head contact and less frequently  by lice that crawl. Preschool and elementary-age children, 3-11, and their families are infested most often. Girls get head lice more often than boys.  In the United States, African-Americans rarely get head lice. Personal  hygiene or cleanliness in the home or school has nothing to do with  getting head lice.

TO PREVENT RE-INFESTATION

• Do not worry about furniture sprays, they are useless. Vacuuming the areas such as floors, carpets, bedrooms, and couches is sufficient. Don’t forget to vacuum car seats!
• Wash the bedding each morning in hot water. Dry on high heat for at least 20 minutes.
• Store all stuffed animals, large comforters, etc. in a sealed plastic bag for 2 weeks.
• Soak combs and brushes in Lysol or rubbing alcohol for at least 1 hour.

Hooray! We have a new appointment system!

You may or may not have noticed that in the past we kept our salon appointments on a hand written monster of an appointment book. It was very hard to write notes about specific hair cut instructions, write last names that are longer than 'Smith' and read tiny phone numbers to do reminder calls.

We have finally come into the future!

Here is what our future looks like!

It will take a bit of time to get all of our clients added into the new system, but soon when you call or stop by to make an appointment, you will only have to tell us your child's name and we will be able to look up the rest. We even have the option of keeping photos and instructions for how you like the hair to be done. For example: clippers #2 on the sides, and #3 on the top, or a stacked bob with the front layers to the chin, or even if they like braids or spikes at the end, or if they really don't like the blow dryer.

The next time you check in for your haircut you will be asked to fill out a form with your info. Your privacy is VERY important to use so we will not share this information with anyone else. We will now be sending your confirmation via email and sms text message. If you would still like us to call you, we are more than happy to, just let us know.

Please bear with us as we make this transition. It may take us a little while to get the hang of everything, but we promise this new system will be MUCH better! We now even have the option of keeping track of customer loyalty points, so we may be doing something fun with that in the future.
