Hairdressing Injury Claims

Hairdressing Injury Claims

Hairdressing Injury Solicitors

The hairdressing industry turns over billions of pounds a year in the UK and is growing in popularity among both men and women. Most hair salons offer a wide variety of treatments from colouring and tinting to perming, straightening and hair extensions. These treatments form part of a regular beauty regime for many consumers but they are not undertaken without risk. Most hair treatments require the use of hazardous chemicals which, if used incorrectly, can cause serious injury.

Making a Hair Treatment Injuries Claim

At Farleys Solicitors, we have offices across Lancashire, including but not limited to Manchester, Blackburn, Burnley, and Preston. We can help you claim compensation for hair treatment injuries on a no win no fee basis. This means you will only pay a fee if you win your case. For more information or to discuss a potential claim, speak to an experienced personal injury solicitor at Farleys on 01254 606 008 or email us today.

Hair Treatment Injuries

The hairdressing profession is currently unregulated, meaning anyone can offer hairdressing services to the public even if they lack training, qualification or experience. As a result, accidents can occur. If you or someone you know has suffered an injury during a hair treatment, pursuing a claim for personal injury compensation may be possible.

Due to the harmful nature of the chemicals used, skin patch tests are a legal requirement and must be carried out before the full application of the product.  Many salons will also perform a hair strand test before your appointment to check that your hair can withstand the products which will be used.

Common injuries suffered at the hairdressers can include:

  • Hair loss or damage and/or skin reactions as a result of bleach/dyes being overlapped on the hair or left on too long
  • Hair loss or damage and/or skin reactions as a result of other treatments such as straightening and relaxing procedures or perms
  • Hair loss or damage caused by negligently fitted or maintained hair extensions
  • Chemical burns or allergic reactions to the skin/scalp due to failure to patch test

These types of injuries can be both painful and distressing. At Farleys we have sympathetic and experienced solicitors that can help you pursue a claim for personal injury and associated damages from the salon. For further information please complete an online application form to assess the basis of your claim.
