teens with legal issues

When you go to the hair dresser, you expect to have a nice experience and leave with a nice hairstyle. One thing that you do not expect to leave with is damage to your hair and scalp. If damage happens, you may be in pain plus experience a difficult time regrowing your hair. If you think that your hair dresser was negligent and you wish to sue, here are some cases where you may prevail.

Leaving a process on too long

If your hair dresser leaves a chemical process on your hair and scalp for too long, this could cause major hair damage. If a process, especially a perm or relaxer is left on the scalp, this can cause chemical burns. Chemical burns can cause long term scalp issues and make it so that hair may not grow in that spot for quite some time. If this happened due to your stylist being negligent with the amount of time that they left on the process, you may be entitled to pain and suffering due to a personal injury claim.

Stylist walking off during services

At times, salons can get busy. If your stylist is overbooked or is distracted by conversation or other busy work, they may leave for longer than intended and cause harm. If you are left alone with a heat process going while your stylist is preoccupied, this can cause hair loss. For instance, if your hair dresser leaves hot rollers on too long and they burn your hair and skin, this can cause significant damage. Having hair burned off or getting hurt due to your stylist not paying attention is negligence that could net you a personal injury judgement.

Using improper techniques

Stylists who use improper techniques for performing hair services can put their clients at risk. For instance, a stylist who braids hair too tight may cause damage to the pores and hair follicles. This can lead to a painful and long term issue for the client. Stylists who perform two services together that should not be performed at the same time may do so to make extra money, but can cause clients complete hair loss. If your stylist has used improper styling techniques and caused you pain and suffering, you should see a personal injury attorney to talk over the case. Recouping damage to your hair and scalp may seem impossible, but having the means to get treatment can make it better.
