17 years ago, Dawn Mucci was a single mom dealing with head lice. While she could address her son’s head lice situation, she realized there was lack of support for herself. She decided she was going to do something about it so other parents didn’t have to feel as helpless as she did.

What started out as a mobile service quickly expanded into one of the top head lice franchises in Canada.

LiceSquad.com’s original head office and clinic location was located in Cookstown, ON but with the recent growth of the company, Dawn realized she needed a bigger space in a more urban environment.

With a population of over 140,000, close proximity to everything north and south, and business support systems in place including an amazing Chamber of Commerce and Mayor who is all about fostering growth and economical development, Barrie, Ontario became the city of choice for the expansion.

June 27, 2018 marked the Grand Opening Celebration of LiceSquad.com’s Head Office and Clinic. Even though rain clouds hovered above, the sun shone brightly on Dawn Mucci and her Super Hero Team.

The event took place from 12:30PM to 2PM with quite the turn out of parents, children, special guest appearances, and more …

While the Fresh Radio Fun Team played music to get the people moving and grooving, Topper’s Pizza and Pizza Pizza fed the masses with their delicious assortments of pizza pie.

The ribbon cutting ceremony wasn’t shy of familiar faces as Mayor Jeff Lehman, MP John Brassard, MPP Andrea Khanjin, Barrie Chamber of Commerce President Patricia Dent and Executive Director Richard Brooks came out to show their support.

The new location for LiceSquad.com’s Head Office and Clinic is 106 Saunders Road Unit#12. It offers a full service child-friendly clinic with a private room for those who require more discretion during their head lice screening and removal process.

The LS Clinic is open by appointment Monday – Friday from 11am – 7pm and Saturdays from 10am – 2pm. Sundays are available through mobile service only. Products are available at the clinic and online with no appointment necessary to purchase. If you’re at your “nits” end after hours and can’t wait to order online, LiceSquad.com’s products can be found at Melonhead Children’s Hair Care Salons and Chatters Salons Nationwide.

Dawn and her team are always looking for new ways to provide a better customer experience. The recent launch of the #1Time Head Lice Mineral Solution for example can have you lice free in an hour as it helps remove head lice and their eggs, stopping the cycle in its tracks. There are also Head Lice Protection Plansstarting at just $25 per person to protect your family should you be faced with head lice in the near future. Wednesdays have been declared as “Free Head Check Days” at LiceSquad.com’s Barrie location with no appointment needed.

Though LiceSquad.com offers head lice prevention and removal products and services, it’s also so much more …

Says Corporate Trainer Kristen McIlwee, “half of what we do is service, and the other half is educational. This is a really great place to work because there’s a real sense of appreciation for what we do. Our customers come to us in crisis and leave with peace of mind. That’s all we could ask for!”

And that’s exactly what Dawn Mucci needed back then, “it’s an incredible feeling to get up every day and know that we make a difference in the community. I didn’t get to where I am today with this company without the help of my Super Hero Team and the Super Hero Clients we serve!”
