Hair Butterflies Gets Proactive About Lice Prevention

From August 1 - August 31 Oak Park based Hair Butterflies, Lice and Nit Removal Clinic will be offering head checks at a reduced rate of $10.00 per person as a back-to-school special for returning students, which is a $15.00 savings.

Hair Butterflies is a comprehensive, natural and effective louse removal service that is 100% satisfaction guaranteed. Only natural, non-toxic products are used for treatment.  Hair Butterflies has a 99% success rate of complete lice removal after one appointment.

Before school resumes is the perfect time to get a check. “From our experience, many lice outbreaks start during the summer. It’s the time kids have fun outdoors, are around many other children and parents let their guard down,” says Edward Tare, owner of Hair Butterflies.

The key to preventing lice is education, communication and early detection. Hair Butterflies’ mission is to provide parents and children with safe and effective means for dealing with head lice, better educate in ways to prevent the spread of head lice, and help to end the negative stigma associated with the condition. 

Owner Edward Tare further supports this mission by offering his expertise in non-toxic lice identification, head checks and lice removal to local schools, camps and the Hephzibah Children's Association.  “We love getting involved in this great community, because only by working together can we beat lice and nits,” says Tare.
