Parent gently caring for a child — the relief after a professional lice treatment

How Our Lice Treatment Process Works

What to expect
Six steps. About an hour, total.

From the moment you call to the moment you walk out with a clearance letter, here's exactly what happens.

  1. 1
    You call — we answer

    No voicemail tag, no on-hold music. We pick up 7am–8pm, 7 days. Prefer to book online? That works too.

  2. 2
    Same-day or next-day appointment

    We'll fit you into the SE Portland clinic, Beaverton clinic, or send a technician to your home — whichever is closer.

  3. 3
    Professional head check (15 min)

    A thorough exam under professional lighting confirms active lice and maps the infestation. The $45 check fee is waived when you choose treatment that day.

  4. 4
    3-step treatment (30–60 min)

    Heat dehydrates and kills live lice, super-lice, and the eggs they leave behind. Then hypoallergenic oil and a professional combing clear out the dead remains. Pesticide-free and safe for ages 4+.

  5. 5
    Verified & lice-free

    A final inspection under professional lighting confirms there's nothing left. No follow-up appointment, no homework, no nit-picking at home.

  6. 6
    Clearance letter in hand

    You leave with a written clearance letter accepted by Portland-area schools, daycares, and camps for same-day return — plus our 60-day guarantee.

Why Choose Our Portland Lice Clinic

Why families choose us
The Portland standard for lice treatment.

We're not a national franchise reading from a script. We're a locally-owned Portland clinic with three service points, real expertise, and a guarantee we actually honor.

Heated-Air Device

We invested in professional heated-air technology that, combined with our oil and combing, eliminates lice and nits — the one thing drugstore shampoos and home remedies can't do. That's why they don't work and we do.

Three Locations

Clinics in SE Portland and Beaverton, plus mobile service for the Portland-Vancouver Metro and surrounding area. Whichever is closer, easier, or less stressful — we come to you, or you come to us.

60-Day Guarantee

If live lice return within 60 days, we re-treat at no charge. Not 30 days. Not "call for details." Sixty full days. The longest guarantee of any lice clinic in Portland.

Gentle with Kids

Our technicians specialize in working with anxious, squirmy, or sensory-sensitive children. Comfortable chairs, screens, snacks, and zero judgment — ever.

Back to School Tomorrow

We have same-day openings almost every day. Every treated client leaves with a clearance letter for their school or daycare — kids can return the very next morning.

No Pesticides, Ever

Super-lice are now resistant to most over-the-counter pesticide shampoos. Our device uses only heat and air — nothing that goes into your child's skin or scalp.

Professional Lice Treatment vs DIY and Drugstore

Why pros, not pesticides
“Couldn’t I just do it myself?”

Drugstore shampoos and DIY combing are the path most parents try first. Here’s what happens — and why one professional visit costs less than the failures.

What families say
Panicked at 6pm. Lice-free by 8pm.

We were visiting friends from across the country when we found lice in my hair. I panicked. My husband calmly googled and found Lice Charmers. Conor was so sweet and empathetic and got us in that very day. Lex calmed my anxiety, and the appointment took about an hour — much quicker than expected considering I have long, thick hair. Pain free, relaxing, and honestly not as big of a deal as I thought. Well worth every dollar.

Heidi D. Google · 5 stars

Fluid experience from start to finish. Lots of tips and good experience while getting treatment. My 14 year old actually had an enjoyable experience and thought the person was “really sweet.” Highly recommend Lice Charmers!

Jason Y. Google · 5 stars

Lice Charmers saved our family when we realized one of our kids had lice. It is not a fun experience and can be very stressful. Lex was so wonderful and caring — responsive, helped answer all our questions, and gave us peace of mind. She helped our friends and family too when they were concerned they'd been exposed. It's a wonderful place.

Susie P. Google · 5 stars

Called on a weekday about 3:30 hoping to get checks for my family of 5 (including school age and toddler kids) — and we were able to all be fit in that afternoon/evening. It was our first experience with lice and it was helpful and informative. I feel more confident now knowing what I'm looking for. Would definitely return for swift, informative service.

Noelle D. Google · 5 stars
Meet Conor & Lex
We started Lice Charmers in 2017 because most lice clinics weren't using the best methods.

We combined scientific research with hands-on training to build a 3-step treatment that eliminates lice, super lice, and nits in a single visit — no pesticides, no aftercare, no follow-ups.

Lice Treatment FAQ

Questions, answered
What parents ask us most.
What does your 60-day guarantee cover?
Our 60-day guarantee covers both treatment failure and reinfestation — if lice return within 60 days for any reason, we re-treat you free, provided every household member was checked at the initial visit. Most other clinics only cover treatment failure (lice that weren't killed at your original appointment) and explicitly exclude reinfestation in their fine print. Read the full guarantee terms →
How much does professional lice treatment cost?
Our flat-rate heated-air treatment is $189 for short hair (under 3 inches) and $209 for long hair (over 3 inches). A standalone head check is $45, and the check fee is waived when you choose treatment the same visit. In-home mobile treatment has its own pricing — Call (971) 424-7973.
Can my child go back to school right after treatment?
Yes. Every client who receives a full treatment leaves with a clearance letter verifying they've been professionally treated and are no longer contagious. Most Portland schools, daycares, and camps accept this letter for same-day or next-day return. If your school has specific requirements, let us know when you book and we'll tailor the letter.
Is the heated-air device safe for kids?
Yes. Our device is safe for anyone age 4 or older. It uses controlled warm air — no chemicals, no medications, nothing absorbed through the skin. Most kids describe it as similar to a hair dryer. There are a few medical contraindications (recent radiation, cranial implants, open scalp wounds); let us know about any health concerns when you book.
Do I need follow-up appointments or at-home combing?
No. That's the whole point of professional treatment. Our single visit eliminates all lice and eggs. You leave lice-free with no homework, no daily combing, and no repeat appointments. You only come back if lice return within the 60-day guarantee window.
Do you come to our house?
Yes. We offer full in-home mobile lice treatment throughout the Portland metro. It's especially good for large families, kids with special needs, or anyone who'd rather not leave the house with lice. Call (971) 424-7973 for in-home pricing.
Do you treat super-lice?
Yes. "Super-lice" are lice that have developed resistance to over-the-counter pesticide shampoos — that's why drugstore treatments increasingly fail. Heat doesn't care about chemical resistance. Our device works equally well on regular lice and super-lice.
Should my whole family come in?
Yes. Lice spread fast through households, and our 60-day guarantee requires every household member to be checked at the initial visit. Anyone who's negative pays just the $45 check fee (waived if they end up needing treatment). Head checks are quick — usually 15 to 30 minutes per person.
How long does the treatment take?
Most treatments take 30 to 60 minutes depending on hair length and how heavy the infestation is. Long, thick, or curly hair takes the most time. A standalone head check (no treatment) takes 15 to 30 minutes per person.
The only 60-day guarantee in the nation
Lice come back? So do we. Free.

Most lice clinics' guarantees only cover treatment failure — not reinfestation. Ours covers both. If lice return within 60 days for any reason, we re-treat you free.

As of January 1, 2026, we’re the only lice service in the nation with a guarantee that covers reinfestation — not just treatment failure.
