Julie Blumenthal and Lice Aunties
The day Julie's then six-year-old daughter was sent home from school with lice was the day Julie's husband walked out of the hospital after breaking his neck in a bike accident. He ended up just fine and so did her daughter. She mentions the neck because after that, lice didn't send her over the edge.
But that's her.
Lice infestations can be really stressful, but they can be overcome, and Lice Aunties is here to help. Believe it or not, we enjoy removing lice and eggs (nits) from your heads! We are patient, calm, thorough, and like working with people—especially kids.
Julie has lived in Newton for over 16 years. She is a painter, a mom, and an MBA.
Before she started Lice Aunties, Julie went in search of a "master nitpicker" to learn from. The search led her to one of the most famous nitpickers in New York. She spent a lot of time commuting to Brooklyn to get her lice and nit removal technique down. And she has now added the FDA cleared LouseBuster™ device to her practice so that you get the best of both worlds—a carefully controlled heated air treatment process that kills all stages of lice and eggs and an intensive comb out that removes all stages of lice and their eggs.
Julie's Lice Auntie colleagues are all moms with a lot of lice (and public school lice lady) experience.
