Lice are, let's face it, really disgusting. And wouldn't you know it, children are usually the ones who get them. Dirty little ankle-biters.

Thankfully, Orange County will soon get a lice-control salon to deal with these pests. No more having to wash your own brat's parasite-infested scalp. Now you can pay someone to do it for you. Or get it done for free at a grand opening de-lousing ceremony on March 1.

According to the press release: "Lice Control, a leading head-lice-removal company and clinical salon in California's Bay Area, will open a second salon at 2001 Harbor Blvd., Ste. 210 in Costa Mesa. Owner Raymond Ruiz has announced a one-day Grand Opening, with head lice treatments offered free of charge. An LCD wide-screen TV and hand-held gaming devices will create a fun atmosphere for the children, who might otherwise freak out at the prospect of having their heads treated for lice. 'They will sit still and cooperate with us, when they won't do that for their parents,' says Ruiz. 'They seem to think of us as doctors.' Ruiz adds that his technicians scour every inch of a child's scalp in search of lice and eggs, using FloureX lights and specially designed combs that skim through hair easily without pulling."

A few OC Weekly staffers live near the salon's future home. Let's hope they keep their distance so as not to spread the bugs throughout the office. For now. Muahahaha!
