A professional head lice treatment with No Nits costs $150 per person, plus a $30 travel fee per household based on the suburbs we currently service. That's the complete cost for a full, thorough combing treatment - no hidden extras, and no additional charge if a treatment takes longer than expected to do properly.
What's included in the price?
Your $150 covers a full combing treatment carried out by a trained specialist in your own home - lice and eggs removed, and clear guidance on what was found and when to book your follow-up. All products and equipment are supplied, so there's nothing extra to buy beforehand. The $30 travel fee is a flat rate per household visit, not per person, so a family of three being treated in one visit still only pays the travel fee once.
Does hair length affect the price?
No, unlike other provierd our pricing is a flat fee per person to keep things simple, regardless of hair length or thickness. Whether it's a short, practical cut or hair down to the waist, the price stays the same. We think flat, predictable pricing is simpler and fairer than pricing that changes depending on how long someone's hair happens to be.
Why professional treatment costs more than a pharmacy kit
A supermarket or pharmacy treatment kit might only cost $15 to $20, so it's a fair question why a professional visit costs more. The honest answer: a cheap kit and a thorough professional treatment aren't really solving the same problem. Pharmacy treatments are may be effective against live lice but far less effective against eggs, and many require a second purchase and a repeat application a week later. They also rely on you doing the combing yourself, correctly, on a squirming child, after a full day - which is exactly when mistakes and missed spots happen. A professional treatment removes that variable altogether: a trained specialist does the whole job properly, once, so you're not left guessing whether it worked.
What affects the total cost?
The main factor is simply how many people need treating - each additional person is charged at the same $150 rate, since every person's hair needs its own full, thorough comb regardless of who else is being treated at the same visit. The $30 travel fee stays flat per household no matter how many people are treated during that visit.
If we don't service your suburb?
We service a wide range of areas across Sydney and the Central Coast, but if your suburb happens to fall outside our regular coverage, that doesn't mean we can't help. Get in touch and we'll provide a customised travel price to reach you - we're often able to accommodate suburbs just outside our usual run.
No discounts, no surprise fees, no transaction fee's.
We don't offer discounts on our pricing, and we don't charge a weekend surcharge either - the price is the price, whether it's a Tuesday afternoon or a Saturday morning. We think transparent, consistent pricing is fairer than a headline price that changes depending on when you book.
What about the follow-up treatment?
We always recommend a follow-up check 5–7 days after your initial treatment, since even a thorough comb can occasionally miss a single egg. You've got a few options here - we're happy to talk you through exactly how to do the follow-up comb yourself at home, or if you'd like the right tool for the job, we sell a professional-grade nit comb for $30 so you can do it properly yourself. Alternatively, you're welcome to book another appointment and we'll take care of the follow-up for you.
Is a nit treatment service worth the cost?
That's genuinely your call to make, but here's the honest case for it: a professional treatment saves you the time, stress, and uncertainty of doing it yourself, and it means the whole job is done properly in one sitting by someone trained specifically in this technique. For a lot of busy families, that's worth more than the price difference from a pharmacy kit, particularly if you've already tried the DIY route and it hasn't fully worked.

Each person is $150, plus a single $30 travel fee per household visit - so three people in one visit would be $450 plus $30 travel.

No, we don't offer discounts, but the travel fee only applies once per household regardless of how many people are treated.
