Elmhurst, IL, Oct. 15, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Families in the western Chicago suburbs have a new reason to feel relieved when head lice strike. Lice Clinics of America, the world’s largest network of professional lice treatment centers, is proud to announce the opening of a new location in Elmhurst, Illinois, owned and operated by longtime locals Nick and Erin Hawn.
Parents of five and partners in business and life, the Hawns are no strangers to the stress lice can cause. Their journey began in 2016 when four of their daughters — and Erin — contracted lice just three weeks after the birth of their youngest child. After struggling to treat it at home with over-the-counter products, they found Lice Clinics of America — and it changed everything.
“After hours of combing, crying, and cleaning, I was sobbing in my daughter’s lap, convinced we’d all have lice forever,” said Erin. “Finding LCA’s one-and-done AirAllé® treatment was a game-changer — and inspired us to open our first clinic six months later.”
Since then, the Hawns have opened multiple clinics in Northern Illinois and are now excited to bring their trusted, judgment-free care to Elmhurst.
“We’re here for families who need support, not shame,” said Nick. “We’ve been there ourselves, and we’re here to help you get through it — fast and effectively.”
The new Elmhurst clinic offers Lice Clinics of America’s signature one-hour treatment using the FDA-cleared AirAllé® medical device, clinically proven to kill lice and over 99% of eggs — even pesticide-resistant strains.
