My Story
When my daughter came home from school with head lice, I was distraught. The drugstore treatments didn’t work. The process was exhausting and demoralizing. When I finally found a professional de-lousing salon, I was amazed at how easy they made it — and I knew right then that this was what I was meant to do.
I spent months researching lice biology, treatment methods, and natural products. Drawing on my years of experience in the salon and beauty industry — including my training as a licensed esthetician and nail technician — I launched Happy Hair Professional Lice Removal in 2008.
Since then, I’ve helped thousands of families across Chicago’s North Shore. I personally treat every single client. You’ll never see an associate or a trainee walk through that door — just me, the person who built this business from the ground up, and who genuinely cares about helping your family get through this.
