Could the hairdresser check everyone for headlice not just school children?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes...: Lice are fairly easy to detect, especially in someone who is cutting hair. I would suspect that if a hairdresser saw lice on anyone, not just school children, he or she would say something about it. I hope that answers your question!
