We understand how head lice can be a problem When my children were growing up they did get head lice from camp and school so I really understand what you are going through We have a very strict cleaning policy at our studio that we have followed for many years If the source was our studio then our staff that handles and wears the costumes and hats multiple times through out the day would also have head lice The fact that none of our staff have head lice and we have had no other complaints from our customers tells us that the source was not our studioFrom the customers admission, “We left and went to eat and by the time we were done eating I noticed my daughter had a raging case of head lice.” We wanted to learn more about head lice so we looked up several different site to make sure we had all the facts With many sources of information such as; kidshealth.org, webmd.com, healthofchildren.com, wikipedia.org and cdc.gov stating that lice eggs take anywhere from to days to hatch In addition, with the cdc.gov stating, “Head lice feet are specially adapted for holding onto human hairHead lice would have difficulty attaching firmly to smooth or slippery surfaces like plastic, metal, polished synthetic leathers, and other similar materials Head-to-head contact with an already infested person is the most common way to get head liceHead-to-head contact is common during play at school, at home, and elsewhere (sports activities, playground, slumber parties, camp) Although uncommon, head lice can be spread by sharing clothing or belongings.” Many of the sources of information we looked at also stated that it will take weeks for itching and irritation of the scalp to become noticeable by the infected person Given the information gathered from the customer about their daughters head lice and the facts given from different sources about head liceThe most logical explanation is their daughter was already infested with head lice prior to visiting us.Because we have these strict cleaning policies in place we can say that in the years that I have been managing this studio we have not had any outbreaks of lice in our studio Listed below are the sites we gathered information from and the information form those sites as well We are not lice experts and since the of the reputable sites we have listed below all state the same facts about head lice we are making our decision based on the facts given kidshealth.org“Nymphs are smaller and become adult lice about to weeks after they hatchIf head lice is not treated, this process repeats itself about every weeks“ “it's more common to see nits in a child's hair than it is to see live lice crawling on the scalpLice eggs hatch within to weeks after they're laidAfter hatching, the remaining shell looks white or clear and stays firmly attached to the hair shaftThis is when it's easiest to spot them, as the hair is growing longer and the egg shell is moving away from the scalp.”“ScratchingWith lice bites come itching and scratchingThis is actually due to a reaction to the saliva of liceHowever, the itching may not always start right away — that depends on how sensitive a child's skin is to the liceIt can sometimes take weeks for kids with lice to start scratchingThey may complain, though, of things moving around on or tickling their heads.” webmd.com“Bites from lice can cause intense itching and irritation of the scalp or other area of the body where lice are presentSymptoms may not occur until at least two months after the lice begin living on the body.” “Itching may not occur right away, depending on a person's sensitivity and history of lice infestationThe first time a person is infested with lice, it may take several weeks or months for itching to start or to be noticedIn a repeat case of lice, a person may begin to itch within days of infestation because the immune system reacts more quickly when exposure has occurred before.”healthofchildren.com“The nymphs hatch in three to days and must feed on blood within one dayNymphs are smaller and lighter in color than adults and become sexually mature after nine to days.”wikipedia.org“Itching from lice bites is common.[5] During a person's first infection, the itch may not develop for up to six weeks.[5] If a person is infected again, symptoms may begin much more quickly.”“The most common symptom is itching of the head, which normally worsens to weeks after the initial infestation.”cdc.gov“Head lice feet are specially adapted for holding onto human hairHead lice would have difficulty attaching firmly to smooth or slippery surfaces like plastic, metal, polished synthetic leathers, and other similar materials.”“Head-to-head contact with an already infested person is the most common way to get head liceHead-to-head contact is common during play at school, at home, and elsewhere (sports activities, playground, slumber parties, camp).”“Although uncommon, head lice can be spread by sharing clothing or belongings.”

We understand how head lice can be a problem.   When my children were growing up they did get head lice from camp and school so I really understand what you are going through.   We have a very strict cleaning policy at our studio that we have followed for many years.  ...

If the source was our studio then our staff that handles and wears the costumes and hats multiple times through out the day would also have head lice.   The fact that none of our staff have head lice and we have had no other complaints from our customers tells us that the source was not our studio. From the customers admission, “We left and went to eat and by the time we were done eating I noticed my daughter had a raging case of head lice.”   We wanted to learn more about head lice so we looked up several different site to make sure we had all the facts.   With many sources of information such as; kidshealth.org, webmd.com, healthofchildren.com, wikipedia.org and cdc.gov stating that lice eggs take anywhere from 3 to 14 days to hatch.   In addition, with the cdc.gov stating, “Head lice feet are specially adapted for holding onto human hair. Head lice would have difficulty attaching firmly to smooth or slippery surfaces like plastic, metal, polished synthetic leathers, and other similar materials.   Head-to-head contact with an already infested person is the most common way to get head lice. Head-to-head contact is common during play at school, at home, and elsewhere (sports activities, playground, slumber parties, camp).   Although uncommon, head lice can be spread by sharing clothing or belongings.”  .    Many of the sources of information we looked at also stated that it will take weeks for itching and irritation of the scalp to become noticeable by the infected person.   Given the information gathered from the customer about their daughters head lice and the facts given from different sources about head lice. The most logical explanation is their daughter was already infested with head lice prior to visiting us.Because we have these strict cleaning policies in place we can say that in the 30 years that I have been managing this studio we have not had any outbreaks of lice in our studio.  Listed below are the sites we gathered information from and the information form those sites as well.   We are not lice experts and since the 5 of the reputable sites we have listed below all state the same facts about head lice we are making our decision based on the facts given.    kidshealth.org“Nymphs are smaller and become adult lice about 1 to 2 weeks after they hatch. If head lice is not treated, this process repeats itself about every 3 weeks. “    “it's more common to see nits in a child's hair than it is to see live lice crawling on the scalp. Lice eggs hatch within 1 to 2 weeks after they're laid. After hatching, the remaining shell looks white or clear and stays firmly attached to the hair shaft. This is when it's easiest to spot them, as the hair is growing longer and the egg shell is moving away from the scalp.”“Scratching. With lice bites come itching and scratching. This is actually due to a reaction to the saliva of lice. However, the itching may not always start right away — that depends on how sensitive a child's skin is to the lice. It can sometimes take weeks for kids with lice to start scratching. They may complain, though, of things moving around on or tickling their heads.” webmd.com“Bites from lice can cause intense itching and irritation of the scalp or other area of the body where lice are present. Symptoms may not occur until at least two months after the lice begin living on the body.” “Itching may not occur right away, depending on a person's sensitivity and history of lice infestation. The first time a person is infested with lice, it may take several weeks or months for itching to start or to be noticed. In a repeat case of lice, a person may begin to itch within 2 days of infestation because the immune system reacts more quickly when exposure has occurred before.”healthofchildren.com“The nymphs hatch in three to 14 days and must feed on blood within one day. Nymphs are smaller and lighter in color than adults and become sexually mature after nine to 12 days.”wikipedia.org“Itching from lice bites is common.[5] During a person's first infection, the itch may not develop for up to six weeks.[5] If a person is infected again, symptoms may begin much more quickly.”“The most common symptom is itching of the head, which normally worsens 3 to 4 weeks after the initial infestation.”cdc.gov“Head lice feet are specially adapted for holding onto human hair. Head lice would have difficulty attaching firmly to smooth or slippery surfaces like plastic, metal, polished synthetic leathers, and other similar materials.”“Head-to-head contact with an already infested person is the most common way to get head lice. Head-to-head contact is common during play at school, at home, and elsewhere (sports activities, playground, slumber parties, camp).”“Although uncommon, head lice can be spread by sharing clothing or belongings.”
