How to buy the Australian kids hairdresser franchises & head lice treatment salon franchises

The process for buying and opening your own Nitpro Head Lice Salon Franchise & Ziggetty Snipits Kids Salon franchise store will vary for everyone, but this is a simplified general outline:

  • Enquire now and attach your signed confidentiality agreement
  • Read the franchise kit and materials supplied
  • Ask us questions! Discuss, plan and decide
  • Return your competed application form and refundable $1000 deposit securing your prospective territory
  • Prepare your business plan if you need to secure finances (most of the information you will require you should be able to extract from the franchise kit)
  • Organise your legal structure - your accountant can assist with this (ie. sole trader, partnership, company, trust etc.)
  • Receive draft generic franchise agreement & disclosure document for discussion and initial approval
  • Upon agreement on contents your franchise agreement and disclosure documents are prepared particular for your store
  • Sign disclosure documents and enter 14 day cooling off period
  • Sign franchise agreement and enter 7 day cooling off period
  • Payment of franchise costs
  • Handover of franchise documents for fit-out, all operations and more by the franchisor
  • Site selection, store design and fit out commence all with franchisor's assistance
  • Fit out times vary for every store - a fair fit out period is 6 to 8 weeks.
  • Opening day!


We generally say this process could be done in 3 months, but in general it takes at least 3-4 months. We will work our hardest to help you open in a timely manner, but anticipated time frames can vary due to many influences.
