LOS ANGELES, Sept. 8 /PRNewswire/ -- Hair Fairies, the head lice helpers, today announced free school screenings for head lice. The super smart Back to School special means stress relief for educators and families across the country. In an initiative designed to help people get their lives back, Hair Fairies will screen schools free of charge. Other Back to School specials include free all natural nit-zapping shampoo for first time treated clients, as well as attractive online product discounts. The ultimate goal is to get kids back to school, fast, safely and efficiently.

"The September back to school season is a very exciting time, but it's also head lice season, and that can be stressful for families and educators," said Maria Botham, founder and president of Hair Fairies. "Our free school screenings aim to remove that stress."

In the 11 years since Hair Fairies was established, they have become a nationwide force and a leader in the nit-picking industry. The distinctive, kid-friendly salons are now a valuable resource in Los Angeles, San Francisco, San Diego, Chicago and New York. Maria and her staff regularly appear on network television, including on such family favorites as Good Morning America and The Tonight Show. The Hair Fairies team is scheduled for a second appearance on The Doctors, with trusted pediatrician Dr. Jim Sears, in October.

"As a mom, I know how important it is for my children to be focused on their studies, and not worrying about bugs," said Maria. "If Hair Fairies can help more kids really enjoy their back to school time, then I'm a happy mom."

Head lice cannot hop, skip or jump, but they do feed on human blood and cause uncomfortable itching. The good news for educators is that Hair Fairies is offering free assistance. The good news for parents is that Hair Fairies' products are safe, non-toxic and don't contain the harsh chemicals present in certain over the counter head lice products.
