Lice Treatment Company Opens Southern Fairfield County Location in Darien
|
A decade ago, Liz Solovay was a real estate agent selling in New York City and a mother worried about an infestation of head lice in her kids’ hair.
It took her a while to find the right treatment to get rid of the vermin encamped on their heads, and when she did, she liked the results so much that she and the doctor who delivered them started up their own company — Lice Treatment Center, now headquartered in Monroe. The company’s business operations are run by Solovay, and the doctor — Elin Cohen — who developed various head lice removal products that the company uses. Just weeks ago, Lice Treatment Center opened a storefront office in Darien (at 537 Post Road, right behind The Complete Angler store, to serve southern Fairfield County. The business frequently offers a service where it will check someone’s head for lice at no charge. Welcome to their nightmare
Head lice create a nightmare for families that have them — schools (where a child may have been infested) want to make sure that a student is free of them, parents are worried about vermin crawling on their children’s scalps, kids are upset and everybody’s disgusted.
