DeLiceful is looking for highly self-motivated business-minded people
searching for independent ownership and a unique franchising opportunity.
Background
After dealing with head lice first hand... in her children’s hair and even
her own, Kathy Zappulla, founder of DeLiceful was so stressed out!
She spent days going through the kid’s hair and her own, using every over-
the-counter treatment she could find. After working on eliminating the problem
in the hair, she spent countless hours cleaning the house from top to bottom,
even hiring a company to clean all the furniture and carpets -- all unnecessary
and expensive work due to the misinformation she was given and the enormous
amount of false information on the internet . That’s when she knew there had to
be a better way!
Shortly after this, the idea for DeLiceful was conceived! DeLiceful's method
is a safe, non-toxic means of treating head lice, utilizing a very thorough
technique that ensures every hair has been examined and all evidence of lice has
been removed. Kathy and her trained technicians on the DeLiceful staff are well
educated about the lifecycle of lice, how to prevent getting lice, and all the
myths and questions associated with it.
It wasn’t long after Kathy first opened that she was getting significant
attention to this unique business from the media and from people who had their
own stories about the challenges of dealing with lice in their own families.
Offering the opportunity to others that were interested in a great new business
opportunity just seemed to make sense. Now Kathy is sharing her proven business
model with others in a franchise environment where small business people can
take advantage of Kathy’s industry knowledge, marketing acumen, and hard work in
building her own successful DeLiceful salons.
