My daughter had lice and we used Rid several times before deciding to get them professionally removed and I’m so glad we did! Billie was amazing! She was very thorough and even agreed to check my hair without an appointment. Billie is also very knowledgeable and informed us about their life cycle, myths, deterrents, and ways to alleviate the itch. However, my daughter stopped itching almost immediately after seeing Billie. The Lice Place also does a free follow up check 5-10 days after the initial visit, which is an added relief/benefit. If my daughter gets lice again, we will definitely bypass the Rid and go straight to Billie!
