Since head lice is transmitted from one person to another by contact, infested hats, combs, brushes and other articles should be thrown away.
As a Licensed Cosmetologist, we would advise the client to apply lark spur tincture, of other similar medication to the entire head before sleeping. The next morning, the client should shampoo with germicidal shampoo. Treatment should be repeated as necessary. WE ARE NEVER TO TREAT A HEAD LICE CONDITION IN THE SALON!!
As a professional we have to advise the client on how to treat the lice (as stated above), but to protect other clients and ourselves, we have to immediately close down the salon and and sterilize everything. Head lice do not jump or fly but run very quickly.What do hairdressers do when they find a client with head lice?
they tell you that you have lice and you need t oget rid of it but they may finish your hair then tell you not to cam back until you have gotten rid of it
well i work in a hairdressers and if the hair has been washed or is wet down we have 2 finish but if we notice before we just tell the cleint we cannot dp der hair but we cant tell them they have lice coz wer not docs r sumthing silly like dat.
They should Definetly point it out without saying it to loud so not to embarress the person but definetley tell them! so they can get it sorted and even give them some tips on how to get rid of them.
I would refuse service, the last thing you need is that getting out to the public that you're possibly infected with lice. For the same reason I'd quietly inform the person in the chair, so as not to draw attention to them (avoiding potential lawsuit because everyone now know's them as the lice person), as well as keeping the fact that lice was in the building quiet.
I asked a hairdresser that exact question once, and she said that she refused to continue. Where she works there are loads of kids that come in with them. Makes you wonder about the parents - I'd make sure my child was clear of them before going to the hairdressers (or actually going anywhere).
they actually have to completely stop what they are doing and tell you that they cant finish as you have lice. i think they throw away brushes etc that they have used on you. i was in the hairdressers once when this happened to someone and it was awful.
It's required that as soon as it is found you tell them about it and discontinue service until they have gotten treatment. Just so you know, i'm a stylist and i've only had this happen once and it really isn't that bad. Sure, it's a pain to sanitize EVERYTHING after they've been in your chair, but lice is just like a cold. It's not something only dirty people get.
daughter is hairdresser and she refuses to do any ones hair with nits but she does advise them how 2 treat it without any embarrassment
i was in that predicament one time , i was so embarrassed , my daughter was having her hair done , washed and cut etc , whils brushing her hair after it had been washed the hairdresser noticed eggs in my daughters hair , she came over to me and told me and said she could continue to brush and cut it but she wasn`t allowed to dry it for fear of eggs bleing blown about ... i have never been so embarrassed but she was very nice and i still take my kids there ...
You don't so the service and throw away everthing you use on that client cap to. Then you refer them do the doctor. Them you need a note when they come back if they come back lol
By law we dont cut the hair, we tell the clients nicely, or their mums because its normally children. We have to sterilise everything. It dosent mean that your dirty, lice normally like clean hair.
This happened to me so many times, it's unreal.Sometimes you may not notice anythng until you have started to cut the hair.However If this is the case, I have continued, but not blowdried the hair.This is because the heat can cause the eggs to hatch that bit quicker.
I tell the customer this and give them a leaflet explaining how to treat and how to help prevent it happening again.
lol
They usually tell the client. They can refuse to cut their hair but dont usually.
P.S if you dont like headlice dont have kids lol
if a hairdresser follows correct guide lines they would notice them during consultation and would then be able to refuse to carry on with the clients hair however if they are half way through they must carry on regardless
My sister would freak out and tell them. depending on if the client is a freind she would either ask them to get it done and come back (of course i assume she'd find them before she started cutting! what with all that combing and all!) or if they were a friend or she had started cutting she would in all likelyhood carry on but with gloves on. altho knowing her she'd be wretching all the time cos she's a bit of a wuss like that!
stop and ask you kindly to leave
I think they would have to point it out.
well if a hairdresser finds lice in a clients hair b4 they start to cut it the correct procedure is to take the client aside and tell them it can be qute embarracing for the client but it has to be done a hairdresser should never trat a client that has headlive never touch the hair and this should be found out as you are having a consultation with your client before you do there hair if you only find them after you have started you must carry on
I imagine it would depend on the hairdresser.
Some tuff ones would carry on AND tell the customer about it.
Others would tell of the infestation and move away fast.
It normally spreads through schools as lice need close head to head contact for them to travel from one person to another.
BRING BACK THE NIT NURSE.......
RUN AWAY, RUN AWAY!!!!
I would say the tell the customer %26amp; get them out asap, recomending products on the way...then they have to clean the areas that the person was sitting in %26amp; near...eeeewwwwww....
I don't know, but I would let them know and help them get rid of them........
Believe me, I've had them, they are HORRIBLE!!!!!!!!
They have to bear with it. Its their profession. Eeeew
