In February of 2015 the Weiss family all had head lice at the same time. Just like what most families first do, we went to CVS to buy over the counter product full of chemicals. We spent several frustrating hours and lot of money trying to comb the kids out ourselves only to find out we still had lice after two weeks. The kids kept screaming and crying through the whole time and missed several days of school and Scott and Marla missed many several days of work. Even with her impressive medical background, Marla could not solve the problem herself and it was pretty much impossible to comb out her own hair.
We wondered if we had such a frustrating time trying to treat our family's head lice with Marla's medical background, what did other families have to go through to try to solve their head lice infestation. In 2015, we opened up our first professional head lice clinic as Lice Clinics of America Los Alamitos and our second clinic opened up that same year as Lice Clinics of America South Bay. In August of 2019 we parted ways with the Lice Clinics of America franchise and rebranded to Los Alamitos Lice Removal and Torrance Lice Removal. In March of 2020 we had to make the difficult decision to downsize and permanently closed the Los Alamitos clinic due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Torrance Lice removal has been in business since 2015 and has successfully head screened or treated over 40,000 families representing over 864 different schools and 67 different cities throughout Southern California.
We view ourselves as an Emergency Room for head lice.
Our mission is to turn what can be a very stressful event into a pleasant family experience that is enjoyable and the standard of care for head lice treatment. We support the communities we serve through lice education, lice head screening, lice treatment, community involvement, and donations of our services back to the community.
We exist to make a difference in the world. We allow children, parents, and families in our community to have their lice infestation solved right away. We provide a stress-free service that is chemical free, stress free, and that can end your lice infestation in about 1 hour so you can get back to school, get back to work, and get back to your lives!
