Nitpro's Head Lice Treatment 100% Guarantee
Nitpro is so confident of its treatment service for the removal of live head lice, we offer a 100% guarantee on their treatment.
In order to be provided with this 100% guarantee, the initial treatment of the head lice is to take place and then a follow-up treatment is required to take place within 7-9 days of that first treatment session.
As head lice are highly contagious, Nitpro cannot guarantee head lice will not come back.
Nitpro is proactive in helping to prevent the likelihood of re-infestation by educating and being able to supply products to its customers. We recommend practical maintenance within the home environment by instilling preventative methods and practices.
What if I receive the 2 treatments and I still have baby lice?
If you return within 9 days of the follow-up treatment with live nymphs (baby lice) only, a free treatment will be performed. Due to the head lice life cycle, it is impossible that you could return with adult lice or live eggs within this time period unless a re-infestation has occurred. If this is the case, a new treatment will need to be commenced.
Due to the current prolific breading of head lice, Nitpro cannot guarantee against re-infestations, however, we are active in our community services and aiding in the education of products, methods and best prevention practices.
Nitpro is serious about tacking head lice infestation rates within Australia and that is why we are the leading service provider in head lice treatment and removal.

Nitpro FAQs
Commonly asked questions are answered below, for all other questions, you can contact Shaakira on 0432 742 865 or email.
Contrary to popular belief, head lice are not attracted to just dirty hair. In fact, head lice prefer long clean hair and the shape of the hair shaft does have some input into whether the lice make themselves at home. Lice don’t mind though if the hair is long or short, black or brown or blonde – what they care about are a warm environment, clean hair and a good blood supply!
Contrary to popular myth, lice cannot fly, jump or swim. Head lice transfer by direct contact between the hair on one head and hair on another head. Even though direct contact may only be for a few seconds, that is more than enough time for them to transfer as the lice actually live down the hair shaft and not on the scalp, so at the slightest opportunity, they are ‘ready to pounce’ and move to their new vacant home.
Body Lice and Head Lice are scientifically recognised as ‘cousins’ in the same species, whereas the Pubic Lice is a ‘much more distant relative’ in the Lice family. The general rule of thumb for the differences between the Head and Body lice are that head lice tend to be shorter than body lice; head lice have shorter antennae and shorter legs than body lice; and head lice have a slightly more ‘shaped’ body, where the body lice torso is more smooth along the edges.
Pubic Lice have thin, long legs at the front and 2 pairs of strong legs in the middle and back. Their body is broader and not nearly as long as the body lice or head lice. These live only in the pubic region.
No. Head lice are not known for living in the host’s environment for more than 48 hours without dying from dehydration (from not being able to feed). However, it is necessary to treat the hosts immediate areas that they will be returning to ie. their bed, pillow, hat, hairbands, brushes etc.
Washing sheets and pillowcases in 60+ degrees Celcius and/or drying them in the dryer for 20+ minutes will do the trick. Using a non-irritant natural home contact spray like Liceadex Home and Bedding Spray is ideal for items that cannot be washed such as hats, pillow, brushes etc.
No, animals are immune to head lice; humans are head lice’s only food source.
No. Although we promote and cater to children, we can – and do – provide head lice removal treatments for the whole family.
Yes, and we offer a 100% head lice free guarantee for our salon treatments when you use our in-salon two-step treatment plan.
Due to our perfected method, we guarantee that after 2 in-salon treatments, spaced 7-9 days apart, you or your child will leave the salon without any live head lice.
As head lice are highly contagious, Nitpro does not guarantee head lice will not return. Nitpro aims to help you prevent the likelihood of re-infestation through education and understanding of head lice, and does recommend the treatment of the home environment and using good practice preventative method and products.
A standard treatment time takes about an hour and we calculate this based on:
– medium hair length
– standard level of head lice infestation
– straight hair
– thin or medium thickness.
If your hair is long, thick, curly or has a higher level of infestation, or if you select additional services (such as the NitPix) we require you to allow extra time for your appointment.
We will clarify with you when confirming your booking.
If you are booking for more than one person for a particular time, we will contact you if these appointments need to be back-to-back or staggered due to existing bookings or due to hair types and services required.
