My child's school sent home a lice notice—what should I do first?

Get everyone in the household checked before assuming only one child is affected. Lice spread through head-to-head contact, and siblings or caregivers who have been in close contact are likely already exposed. Our Barrington clinic serves families across Schaumburg, Arlington Heights, and the northwest suburbs and can often get you in the same day. A professional screening confirms whether treatment is needed and takes the guesswork out of what to do next.

Why doesn't the drugstore lice treatment seem to be working?

There is nothing on the market that can penetrate the lice eggshell. Over-the-counter products may reduce live lice, but surviving eggs hatch within a week or two, and the cycle starts over. The AirAllé device works differently. It dehydrates both lice and eggs using controlled warm air, which is why it achieves over a 99% success rate in a single visit rather than requiring repeat treatments.

Can I use my HSA or FSA card to pay for treatment in Barrington?

Yes. Lice Clinics of America - Barrington accepts HSA and FSA cards alongside major credit cards, cash, and CareCredit. Some insurance plans will also reimburse lice treatment costs—we will provide the necessary form for submitting a claim. If cost is a concern, CareCredit is available for families who need flexible payment timing.

Is the AirAllé treatment safe for my toddler?

The AirAllé device is appropriate for children four and older. For children under four, or for anyone for whom the device is contraindicated, we offer a comb-out treatment using non-toxic products only. Barrington parents should mention their child's age when booking so the right treatment option is confirmed in advance.

How long will the appointment take—we have school pickup at 3pm?

The Signature AirAllé treatment takes about 60 to 90 minutes total: roughly 30 minutes for the device treatment plus 30 to 60 minutes for the comb-out, depending on hair length. The Barrington clinic is open 8am to 9pm on weekdays, so there is usually flexibility to schedule around school and activity pickups. Mention your timing when you book.

The first step

Screening

Our clinicians will carefully inspect the hair and scalp. If an active case of head lice is confirmed and a treatment plan is chosen using the AirAllé medical device, the screening fee is waived. Because lice spread quickly through a household, it is very important that all family members are checked once an active case has been confirmed.

Most effective option

Signature AirAllé^®

This is our most popular and effective lice treatment option. It is a 3-step process which includes a 30-minute AirAllé^® treatment, a thorough comb-out to remove the dead lice and eggs and an oil application. With a success rate of over 99%, we know you will leave lice free with no follow-up needed. Ask about our guarantee!

special circumstances

Comb-Out

We do not recommend the AirAllé^® treatment for children under four or for clients for whom the AirAllé is contraindicated. In these cases, we recommend a strand by strand traditional comb-out to remove lice and eggs using only non-toxic products.

Keta was so patient and kind with the kids for their treatments. She was as equally patient and kind to me reassuring me all that I need to do to ensure these unwanted visitors never come back.

Lice Treatment in Barrington

We are Jill Leshtz and Jennifer Riback, owners of Lice Clinics of America – Barrington, which we have proudly operated for more than a decade.

Our decision to open the clinic came from personal experience. After each treating our own daughters for lice at home, we learned firsthand how frustrating, time-consuming, and confusing the process could be. We were unsure if we were doing everything correctly and realized how little clear, reliable guidance was available to families.

We knew parents shouldn’t have to spend 10–12 days repeatedly checking, combing, and treating their children while wondering if the lice was truly gone. We wanted to offer a better solution.

Today, our professional AirAllé® treatment provides a one-visit solution with a 99%+ success rate. We love helping families in our community by providing expert treatment, education, and peace of mind while making the lice removal process faster, easier, and far less stressful.

Tried Solving at Home?

Wondering why you still have lice if you’ve tried treating on your own? It’s all about the eggs! Despite over-the-counter products claiming that they can kill lice and eggs, there’s nothing on the market that can penetrate the lice eggshell.

Unless all lice AND EGGS are eradicated, the lice infestation will continue. If even one egg is missed, the cycle doesn’t end.

Questions about our Barrington clinic

Where is the Barrington lice clinic, and is there parking?

We are conveniently located at 215 S. Northwest Highway (Route 14) in Barrington, just minutes from downtown Barrington and the Barrington Metra station. We are just south of Lake Cook Road/Main Street, making our clinic easy to access from Barrington and the surrounding northwest suburbs.

Does everyone in my family need to be checked for lice?

Yes! We strongly recommend having everyone in the household checked when one person has lice. People can have lice without knowing it, since symptoms may take several weeks to appear. Checking everyone at the same time helps find any other infestations before lice has a chance to keep circulating through the household. Our 30-day guarantee also requires all household members to be checked and anyone who has lice to be treated.

Do you treat both children and adults?

Yes! We treat both children and adults at our Barrington clinic. We see everyone from little kids to adults, and our technicians are experienced in working with all ages, hair lengths, and hair textures.

How long does a lice treatment appointment take?

Most appointments take about an hour from start to finish. Our Signature AirAllé® treatment is designed to take care of the lice and eggs in one visit, so you can get back to your normal routine without spending days or weeks combing, re-treating, and constantly cleaning at home. Very long, thick, or heavily infested hair may take a little longer, but there is no additional charge. For most families, it’s about an hour with us instead of weeks dealing with lice on your own.

What should I bring to my lice treatment appointment?

Please arrive with clean, dry, and tangle-free hair. It should not be oily/greasy from any OTC lice treatment or home remedy. We also recommend bringing a tablet or other device—it can be a great distraction and help keep kids entertained if treatment is needed.
