Today, I was cutting a client's hair, and she was complaining about how itchy her head was from having it too long. As I lay down my comb and shears, three lice bugs ran across my counter. FML

wow! at a couple of these comments. For one anyone who say I should have done a full inspection...really? You have had time to thoroughly inspect each client? You must have never been busy. I was so busy that morning I didnt shampoo my client, secondly I didnt even brush her hair out before i did the cut. When she sat in my chair her hair hit thr floor. she asks for one length, straight across her back. now she had very dark hair and any cosmetologist knows its easier to see in lighter hair. I had a cutting comb so I must have brushed some out as i drug my comb down to length to do my cut check. I was almost on my knees trying to cut this hair. Anyways its was properly handled, i left that station and everything there until the salon was empty and I used barbacide on the whole place and my utensils. Plus any cosmetologist knows once I start cutting that head, I cant stop even if I see the infestation, I have to finish, and follow company and state guidelines.

Walk away. Just walk away and tell her to stop by the store on the way home.

Well, I hope you gave her some advice how to treat them and cleaned your stuff well afterwards.

that's why they tell you in beauty school how important client consultation, including looking at the scalp, is.

Shouldn't you comb out the hair first And would have noticed right away?

Of course she has lice if she heads itching. No one's head itches from having long hair. She's an idiot

Just because someone's head is itchy does not mean they have lice. I have long hair, and have never had lice, but my scalp gets itchy sometimes. If it is hot out and you have your hair up, it can get itchy. Also dandruff can make your scalp itch. Sometimes your scalp can just get itchy, just like any other part of your body. Doesn't mean you have lice. Now I do agree it's the hair dressers fault for not checking her clients head for lice. An itchy scalp doesn't always mean lice.

That's my point. I have long hair myself, when I get hot I itch, from sweat especially when you have heavy hair. so I'm the idiot?

It's part of your job and not even close to a FYL. If you have such a bad case of lice on someone that several come off a comb, you're not doing your job well. You should have caught this before you even started her hair.

that's not cool.. how could she not know there are little bugs living on her scalp.. I don't envy the clean up job that has to be done
