Multi-step Treatment process

There are so many ways to treat head lice that is why Meticulice™ believes after extensive research that all methods are not equal and that the Shepherd Method™ of strand by strand nit removal creates a full proof method where there are no shortcuts, just successful removal of head lice & nits. Meticulice™ a Long Island, New York based company trained & certified in the renowned Shepherd Method of head lice removal. The Shepherd Method is without a doubt, the most thorough, manual method available. We take lice removal seriously, and we never try to rush the job, so we do more than just comb.

A non toxic enzyme-based solution is applied to the head to break down the exoskeleton of the lice and help loosen the fixative glue that secures the nits to the hair shaft.

This is followed by a thorough combing of the hair, which removes 80 to 85 % of all lice and nits.

Next, hair is sectioned off and examined in paper thin layers ensuring that all visible lice and nits have been removed from each strand of hair. This requires a highly skilled and precise technician. Final Recheck Hair is blown dry (if still damp from treatment product) and thoroughly rechecked to ensure that all lice and nits have been removed. Once complete, more product is applied and combed through and hair is pulled back in a ponytail, braid or bun. It should stay on for at least two hours and be washed out prior to going to bed. We are so confident in our ability that we guarantee your child will be back in school the next day!

Follow-up Head Check

We offer a follow-up head check 2 to 7 days after initial treatment. These are crucial to ensure that new contact has not occurred since clients often go right back to the environment where they contracted head lice.Our guarantee can not be honored should these recheck appointment be missed. They generally take 20 to 30 minutes per head.

We also can provide a home cleaning service specially trained to thoroughly clean you home, so we can help take the stress out of an already stressful situation.To learn more about the Shepherd Method™ LINK or visit www.LiceSolutions.org
