A trip to the hairdresser should be an enjoyable and relaxing experience. But unfortunately hair treatments can occasionally go badly wrong, and a negligent hairdresser can cause serious injury and damage.
Our expert lawyers have dealt with hundreds of successful hair damage claims.
So if your hair has been damaged by a negligent hairdresser get in touch now for some free advice.
Some of the most common hair processes that can go wrong, and may justify a hairdresser claim, include:
Over-processing
Over-processed hair is hair that has been damaged by too much bleach or dye. It can occur when the product used is too strong or is left on your hair for too long. It can also happen when the product is overlapped on to hair which has previously been bleached. These mistakes are very commonly associated with the use of hair straightening and perming procedures. They can all cause serious damage, with hair often becoming so weak and dry that it can eventually snap off. In this case you may have grounds for an injury claim against the hairdresser.
Protocols a hairdresser should have followed
To avoid damaging hair, hairdressers need to be aware of their customer’s history of previous colours, the strength of the products they are applying and the length of time they are left to process.
Allergic reactions
Many clients experience allergic reactions at the hairdressers. These types of reactions can cause injuries ranging from irritation and burns and in extreme cases, bald patches.
It is a hairdresser’s duty to look after the safety of their clients, so if you have suffered an allergic reaction at the hands of your hairdresser, you may be able to claim compensation.
Be aware of the issues
Hairdressers need to be aware that the shampoos, colours, and other hair products they use on a daily basis contain chemicals that could cause an allergic reaction when used on some of their clients.
To prevent allergic reactions and injuries, all hairdressers should carry out a skin test before applying products to hair.
Hair extensions
A claim can also be made against hairdressers for damage caused by extensions. From using the wrong bonds to extensions being fitted too closely together, these mistakes can all cause damage to your hair and scalp.
Extensions that are not fitted correctly can cause severe headaches, itchiness and in some instances, lead to bald patches if they pull on the natural hair.
