Does the sponsoring company not have an agent? Usually the applicant uses the company's agent. Is the company an approved sponsor? Have they done your nomination yet? Did they do these themselves or use an agent?

If the shop you work for wants to sponsor you for a 457 they must be an approved sponsor. They then must nominate you for the visa. Once that's done then you apply. The job must meet certain criteria, including minimum salary.
Take a look at www.immi.gov.au for all the forms, etc. http://www.immi.gov.au/skilled/skilled-workers/sbs/

You don't NEED to use an agent. If they have done it before and you are happy filling in forms without someone to double check them then save yourself the money.

This doesn't make sense. What do you mean an independant agent because they're an indenpendant hairdressing shop?

OR pay the extra agent fee and get it submitted only when everything is in order!
