Can I Sue My Hairdresser?

The short answer is yes, you can sue a hairdresser or hair salon.

If you can show a hairdresser ruins your hair or causes you injury.

Hairdressing accidents usually fall under beauty treatment negligence, where a beauty salon or hair salon, or a therapist/stylist, has failed to provide safe and effective hair treatment.

This comes in many forms, ranging from faulty equipment and allergic reactions to injury from the hair stylists team who have not been properly trained. It may also be that the hair salon has not adhered to health and safety legislation.

P R Scully legal team will take a medical assessment and create an accident report before looking into the safety regulations of the hair salon where you had your hairdressing appointment.

Where there has been hair salon negligence or hairdresser’s negligence means it’s possible for the injured person to make a claim with a solicitor for medical expenses as well as financial losses as a result of the injury.

What Reasons Can You Sue a Hairdresser?

The key reasons you can sue a hairdresser are the most common hairdressing compensation claims that we work on for our clients. We can make a ‘no win no fee’ arrangement with clients where that helps them to pursue their hairdressing claims. Naturally, evdience of the injuries such as photographs should be obtained.

Hair damage compensation claims

Hairdressers can be sued for damaging hair. Chemical treatments like colouring, perming, and straightening can cause damaged hair if not done correctly. This can occur when a hair stylist has not been properly trained, doesnt take due care, or the hairdressing salon does not follow the recommended care procedures, or does not have the right hairdressing equipment, or does not adhere to health and safety regulations. 

You can sue a hairdresser for hair damage by claiming compensation for the cost of the treatment, as well as additional costs for fixing the hair damage. 

Allergic reactions

Some clients may have an allergic reaction to hair dye or other hair products, even shamppo and conditioner, on their skin, head, neck or ears. Reputable hair salons and hair stylists will do a hair strand test (also known as a patch test) on a client before using dye and certain products for the first time. You can claim compensation for medical expenses, as well as any other costs associated with the reaction, including financial losses due to time off work.

Burning Your Scalp

Hairdressers can be sued for burning your scalp. Heat styling equipment like curling irons and hair straighteners can cause burns to a client if not correctly used to style hair. Chemical burns can also occur if certain chemical hair products aren’t patch tested or properly applied. You may claim damages for any medical expenses, as well as any additional costs associated with fixing the problem.

Scalp Irritation and Injury

Chemical treatments and some hair products can cause scalp irritation, which can be uncomfortable and painful. Sometimes a hairdressing accident can cause damage to the scalp. Clients may make compensation claims for financial damages , as well as additional costs associated with fixing the problem.

Hair Extensions and Hair Loss

You can sue a hairdresser for hair extensions gone wrong. If hair extensions are attached too tightly or weigh too much, problems can develop quickly. The combination of weight and tension places strain on the wearer’s hair follicles, which are stretched to a point that the hair simply falls out. Known as Traction Alopecia, this can cause permanent damage to hair follicles and prevent hair regrowth.

If you have suffered from any problems after having hair extensions, our all-female specialist will be able to talk to you about your issues and discuss if you have grounds for injury compensation.

What Do Hairdresser Injury Claims Cover?

As well as claiming for any pain, suffering and inconvenience from your hair damage or personal injury, you may be able to claim back additional costs through your hairdressing injury claim, such as:

Remedial Procedures: If you have to have your procedure corrected, the additional cost involved could form part of the injury compensation claim against the practitioner or company that carried out the original procedure. You may also need medical treatments as a result of the injury.

Loss of income: If you need to take additional days off work or you are unable to go back to work due to the negligence of the practitioner or company carrying out the procedure, your loss of income will form part of your hairdressing compensation claim.

How Will I Pay for My Hairdresser Compensation Claim?

Because we understand that our clients may not be able to pay for legal costs for personal injury hairdresser claims up front, we usually give our clients the option of a conditional fee or working on a no win no fee basis.

‘No win no fee’ means that we will do all the necessary work on hairdresser compensation claims and will only be paid if the case is successful. Sometimes, that means that we will do a lot of work as we gather evidence for a hairdresser injury claim, but do not end up being paid.

If we do win the hairdresser injury case but cannot recover all our fees, we ask clients to pay for some of our fees from their hairdressing compensation. Some firms call this a success fee. We always agree to limit any charges to our clients to a maximum of 25% of their hairdressing compensation. 

How Much Compensation Can I Claim For A Salon Accident or Negligence?

The amount that you can claim hairdresser compensation for will vary depending on the type of injury, the cause, and how much the injury or accident has impacted your life, and in particular the financial losses caused.

We are specialist solicitors in injury compensation, including hairdresser injury and hairdressing compensation.

We can advise you on whether your injury compensation claim for hairdresser negligence and hairdresser injuries is worth pursuing, once we have more information about the nature of your injuries or hair damage claim. Sometimes we may need to know more about your medical records, for example in hairdressing injury claims related to chemical burns or allergic reactions to hair dyes or other chemicals.
