Starting a head lice removal business is not as easy as it may sound and should be fully researched.  Many things need to be considered. One must take into account the education components, environmental care and accurate identification skills required.  Although no licence or regulations are in place right now in this industry I suspect that may change soon.

Someone needs to regulate this new industry as they do in the hair dressing industry or else we may have big issues regarding quality care, and standards.  Who are the people providing these services and do they have sanitation protocols, insurance, criminal record checks and the appropriate knowledge and training in place to do so?  There are legal issues to consider and most important the health and safety of both client and provider.

I am thrilled to see so many people eager to help others with this issues and that most of them are going the pesticide free route.  I just caution people to do their research before getting into or hiring a service business for head lice removal.
