Hair Gone Wrong
Has that dream hair cut or style gone wrong and left you heartbroken, distressed and unable to go out and face the world. Have you suffered at the hands of your hairdresser? Has your “hair gone wrong”?
When you visit a hairdresser, you expect any treatment to be carried out with reasonable care and skill. Hairdressers owe a duty of care to undertake their work with the skill and care expected from a reasonably competent person in their profession. So, when injury is caused by your hairdresser’s negligence, you may be entitled to compensation.
Sometimes that longed for trip to the Hairdressers can turn into a disaster. Hairdressing accidents are more common and more serious than most people would expect. The chemicals used for bleaching, colouring, perming and straightening hair are all strong and can cause chemical burns to the skin or scalp if used incorrectly. Procedures such as overprocessing or the wrong chemical treatments can cause your skin to redden, swell, blister, flake, crack and itch. It can cause your hair to break off and even fall out. In the majority of cases, disaster could have been avoided.
