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.

How Portland Lice Treatment Works, Step by Step
What to expectHere's how a lice treatment in Portland with our team unfolds, start to finish — nothing hidden, and nothing left for you to do at home.
-
1You call — we answer
No voicemail tag, no on-hold music. We pick up 7am–8pm, 7 days. Prefer to book online? That works too.
-
2Same-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.
-
3Professional 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.
-
43-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+.
-
5Verified & lice-free
A final inspection under professional lighting confirms there's nothing left. No follow-up appointment, no homework, no nit-picking at home.
-
6Clearance 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 Families Choose Portland Lice Treatment
Why families choose usNo franchise script and no take-home kits to upsell. Portland Lice Treatment is a locally owned team with two clinics, a mobile crew, years of hands-on experience, and a guarantee we stand behind.
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.
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.
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.
Our technicians specialize in working with anxious, squirmy, or sensory-sensitive children. Comfortable chairs, screens, snacks, and zero judgment — ever.
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.
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.

How long does the treatment take?
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.
