Deanna Dickerson, RN, owner of The Lice Place in Nashville.

Deanna Dickerson brings her nursing background and her experience as a parent to The Lice Place in Nashville, Tennessee. Her interest in professional head lice services began with a problem in her own family: her daughter had head lice, and Deanna wanted dependable help and clear answers.

That experience shaped the kind of business she wanted to build—one centered on service, education and helping families feel more comfortable asking for help.

A Parent’s Experience Inspired a New Direction

After several years as a stay-at-home mother, Deanna was preparing to return to work when her daughter’s head lice experience introduced her to the need for professional treatment services. Looking for assistance helped her recognize an opportunity to serve other families facing the same uncertainty.

Deanna had previously worked in a doctor’s office. She saw a way to apply that experience to a business where explaining the process and responding to parents’ concerns would be part of the everyday work.

Why Deanna Chose The Lice Place

In her account of starting the business, Deanna described researching lice treatment franchises with her husband and co-owner. She valued The Lice Place’s emphasis on training, customer service and support for people opening a clinic.

She also credited Penny Warner with providing guidance as she moved from a nursing background into business ownership. Having established resources and advice helped her take that next step without building every part of the business from the beginning.

Education and Reassurance Are Part of the Service

For Deanna, helping families involves more than an appointment. It also means answering questions, explaining what happens during a visit and addressing misconceptions that can make a lice concern more stressful.

Her original interview described the satisfaction she finds in treating and educating clients. The focus of this profile remains that personal story and her approach to service—not a promise that any treatment can prevent every future infestation.
