Hi I’m Sherri. I’m a Professional Nit Picker. No, really! I provide lice and nit removal services in Victoria BC. I’ve helped countless families, kids and adults get rid of lice – one nit at a time.

Getting rid of lice can be tricky. False claims and home remedies are everywhere. But there’s only one way to make sure they’re gone. MY WAY! I provide a fast, friendly service that’s just like a haircut.

As Vancouver Island’s Nit Picking specialist, I’ve helped hundreds of families and individuals become lice-free. Successfully exterminating hair lice and nits, one family at a time.

What we do

STEP 1:

Wash & brush

The easier it is, the faster I work and the lower the price. Please arrive with clean, dry and brushed hair.

STEP 2:

Nit Picking

I get to work, removing all the nits, while applying the NYDA treatment. The time depends on how many nits you have and the thickness of your hair.

STEP 3:

Your Part

Leave the treatment in your hair for 8 hours, wash it out (with two shampoos in a row) and go into a clean bed.

I use the Licemeister comb in my salon, ensuring that your head is nit free. I’m often finished within 30 minutes, but in some cases it can take 1.5 hours or more (when there’s lots of hair and lice).

Customer Stories

Sherri has come to our rescue three times in one school year. The first time we were infested I went into panic mode. I didn’t know what to do and made myself crazy cleaning the house and painstakingly combing both my hair and my child’s each day. Sherri’s calm reassurance and knowledge instantly put me at ease. Within one visit, lice and nits were eradicated and I was instructed to go home and do just a handful of housekeeping tasks. I don’t wish for anyone to experience head lice but, if they do, Bugger Off is your answer. It is worth every penny. Thank you, Sherri, for providing this valuable service to our community!

Save yourself the time, frustration and hassle and give your child and yourself the peace of mind you seek. We flew into the area from Ontario – discovered the pests and in a panic ( and in a hotel room) thought..”what the heck do we do now??” – a quick google search, a phone call and boom!! 40 minutes later we were in Sherri’s capable hands. Totally awesome. She will help you with the immediate situation, educate you on the steps to follow both with your family and your home. SOOOOO worth it people.!!

Sherri is amazing. From the time you first contact her to the time you leave the salon, she makes you feel comfortable about the whole experience. Sherri has a wonderful knowledge and will steer you in the right direction as to what you need to do. She is quick to respond and her prices are very affordable and worth the piece of mind she gives you. I highly recommend Sherri and her services. Thanks to her, the only thing I am spreading is the word about her awesome service.

OMG for those who don’t already know about this lady (I know I didn’t) and her salon … if you have the extremely unfortunate issue of dealing with these little pests .. GO AND SEE Sherri!! She is AMAZING!! She took the time to educate me and to calm my nerves! I can’t even tell you how good it feels to know we left there lice and nit free! Thank you, Thank you, THANK YOU SHERRI from the bottom of my heart!

Thank you, Sherri, for being so thorough, calming and patient! You are amazing at what you do. What a relief to know that my daughter and I are lice free! I can finally relax tonight with a glass of wine, a slice of cheesecake and no lice worries.

Sherri was absolutely incredible! She was so kind and friendly and we were done in less than an hour. Her office is really nice and she helped calm me down so so much! Would highly recommend.

Sherri is the best de-lousser in the west! She does it with such warm, friendly flair that I recommend her to anyone with kids (or adults) with lice.
