Before you knew it...neighbors, friends, cousins were ALL infected. Panic set in...play dates were cancelled. Not to mention the fact that some pesticide-based shampoos were used on children's heads. It was amazing the amount of mis-information we heard and how horrified everyone felt. That's when Phyllis Van Hook, founder, decided there had to be a better way, and there is. She researched and found the Shepherd MethodTM a strand by strand nit removal method. It is the most effective and thorough way to eliminate head lice using non-toxic products. She is one of the only highly trained and CERTIFIED lice removal experts in New Jersey and offers in-home services throughout the Central New Jersey area. Let's face it - lice freak us out. We understand what you and your child are going through, because we are parents and have been there ourselves. We provide gentle and supportive help and guidance for you and your family.

I called after treating my daughter at home, thinking we were good, and then on the last "comb out just to be sure" Day, I found a bunch of nits on the side of her head. That was it, I needed professional help! From the second the woman picked up, I felt more at ease. The woman who answered the phone was able to find a location and book an appointment, not only on the same day, but on a Sunday. I first called at 11am Sunday morning and by 5pm, we were back home and my daughter was lice/nit free. The location in (Hamilton, NJ) was so clean and surprisingly relaxing. We were the only family so it was very private and discreet feeling. They also had iPads for the kids to play on, and not just my daughter but my other children too. Becky, the technician who treated my daughter has the patience of a saint! I couldn't say enough good things about her. If I'm completely honest, no exaggerating, my daughter is one of the worst kids to deal with regarding anything she doesn't want to do or is scared of doing(which adds up to a lot of things). Becky kept her cool and did the best job that I could've hoped for. I went home breathing a sigh of relief for the first time in 3 days. If I could give 10 stars, I would!

She combed us all out, confirming that 2 of us did in fact have lice and taught us how to do it ourselves so that we never have to face this again. We all learned about lice and had fun with the process. Jan's personality is awesome! She uses humor along the way to keep everyone calm, grounded and reassured that we would finally be rid of these awful bugs. Parents, I tried the over-the-counter Rid product and it didn't work. Contacting Jan at Lice Happens was money well spent and gave me the peace of mind that we are clear. My daughter returned to school where other class mates were missing their 4th day of school because their parents simply couldn't get it all out themselves. I would highly recommend contacting Jan @ Lice Happens, spend the money to educate you and your family and never worry about getting lice again! CP West Windsor, NJ

Not expecting to find anything, I was amazed when LICE HAPPENS came up. Within two hours of my call, Jan showed up at our house fully prepared to screen my entire family for lice (including my mom who often watches my kids!). Not only was she an immediate hit with my kids but she also was calm, extremely knowledgeable, thorough and kind. She debunked many of the myths about lice (You don't need to rip your house apart....Lice are on the head not on the bed!) and taught us how to avoid having an infestation ever again. She treated my daughters, my mom and I. She taught me everything I needed to know moving forward and did so with warmth, encourage meant and lots of humor! She had us all laughing so hard at one point that my daughter wanted to know when "Miss Jan" could come back. I can't rave enough about this great service and an education that will keep me grounded though out my children's school years! Megan E Warren, NJ

We were quoted in writing: "a lice treatment & nit removal for her $270 (flat rate)."…read more Once the technician arrived at our home, the price escalated dramatically. The invoice was initially $1,347.39 and was only reduced to about $1,100 after we disputed the charges and removed some products. A "flat rate" quote turning into four figures once someone is already in your home is not transparent pricing. From the moment the technician was in our apartment, the entire experience became high-pressure. We were told various add-ons and products were "mandatory," and the total kept climbing in real time. We also felt pressured because the technician would not leave until payment was received. This is not how a reputable service should operate, especially in a family's home. We were explicitly told that both parents being checked was required as part of the process. We initially refused, because we had already checked ourselves and were confident this was a school exposure and that our daughter had likely picked it up that morning. We were then told they would not proceed with treating our daughter unless we agreed to be checked, and only after that pressure did we eventually reluctantly comply. Both my husband and I were checked. Neither of us had lice. Yet the bill still ballooned from $270 to an initial $1,347.39 (and then about $1,100 after dispute). We also dispute the "severe" classification, but regardless, clarity matters: if there are severity tiers, surcharges, home-visit fees, and "mandatory" products, those need to be disclosed clearly before anyone shows up--not after you are already in a stressful situation. Additional serious concerns: * We specifically requested a female lice expert because we are religious and the patient is a young girl. They sent a man anyway. This should have been clearly communicated in advance so we could make an informed decision, not discovered at the door. * The technician barely spoke English, and whenever we asked a question or needed clarification about what was being done or what we were being charged for, he would suddenly stop speaking English altogether. That made it extremely difficult to understand what we were supposedly agreeing to in real time. Clear communication matters, especially in a stressful situation involving your child. * They do not accept credit cards. We were told payment had to be made via cash, Zelle, or Venmo only. For a New York company with a website and significant marketing, refusing credit cards removes standard consumer protections and makes it much harder to dispute charges. In our case, that payment setup amplified the pressure and left us feeling cornered. This ended up being a day where we were so stressed by the escalating bill and refusal to leave without payment that we were close to calling 911 just to get the situation de-escalated. That alone should tell prospective customers what they need to know. To be clear: our daughter did have lice, and we do not dispute that treatment was necessary. What we do dispute is the lack of upfront disclosure, the bait-and-switch style escalation from a $270 quote to four figures, and the high-pressure tactics used in our home. Parents should be aware that the advertised "flat rate" may have very little relationship to what you are actually charged once someone is in your home.
