Rotorua is famous for its spas and smells, but it is about to boast another attraction – nits, or rather, nitbusters.
Two of the town's mums have decided to cash in on the lice that nobody else wants.
Head lice, cooties, nits - whatever you call them, they're embarrassing, itchy and spread like wildfire. But now the pesky blighters face a new foe - a couple of enterprising mums.
Their solution? The country's first salon specifically targeting head lice.
The salon is due to open next week, and is already inundated with bookings.
The salon will use locally sourced and organic treatments, disposable capes and sterilised combs as standard for all customers.
And it's not just school children who will benefit from the new salon. The owners say they also expect some of their customers to be adults, many of whom will be parents who have picked up the itchy insects from their children.
