Lice Lifters is a pioneering franchise specializing in professional head lice removal services and products. Founded in 2009 by Michele Barrack in Lafayette Hill, Pennsylvania, the company began as an in-home service before opening its first treatment center in 2010.

Recognizing the growing demand for effective lice treatment, Lice Lifters started franchising in 2011 and has since expanded to multiple locations across the United States.

Headquartered in Parkland, Florida, Lice Lifters offers a unique, all-natural lice treatment process that eliminates 99.9% of lice and nits in a single visit. Their proprietary products are pesticide-free, making them safe for the entire family, including infants and pregnant women.

What sets Lice Lifters apart from competitors is its commitment to non-toxic, effective treatments and a customer-centric approach. Unlike other franchises that may rely on chemical treatments or medical devices, Lice Lifters focuses on a holistic, safe method that appeals to health-conscious consumers.

Training

Lice Lifters provides a comprehensive training and support program to ensure franchisees are well-prepared to operate their treatment centers effectively. Here are the main training components:

1. Initial Training Program: Lice Lifters offers training for up to four individuals at no extra charge before the treatment center opens. This includes instruction on operations, services, and use of the Confidential Operating Manual.
2. On-Site Opening Support: The franchisor provides 1 to 4 days of on-site supervision during the pre-opening and opening phases. This includes operational guidance and optional employee training, although hiring assistance is not included.
3. Operating Manual Access: Franchisees are loaned one copy of the Confidential Operating Manual, which contains all standardized procedures and requirements essential for running the business.

Territory Protection

Lice Lifters provides franchisees with an approved location to operate, which cannot be changed without prior written consent. Franchisees may also be given a Site Selection Territory, within which they must secure a location and open within a specific timeframe. Failure to do so can result in termination of the agreement and loss of the franchise fee.

While the franchise does not explicitly grant exclusive territory, the structured site approval process helps prevent location conflicts. This setup offers practical protection by limiting where and how other units may be established relative to each franchise.
