Salon Related Injuries

Hair coloring, bleaching, relaxing, perming, and other chemical hair treatments require careful application and proper training. When salon professionals fail to follow safety procedures, use products incorrectly, leave chemicals on too long, or fail to perform appropriate testing, clients can suffer painful chemical burns to the scalp, face, ears, neck, or skin. These injuries can lead to blistering, infections, permanent scarring, nerve damage, and long-term hair loss. Salon owners and licensed cosmetologists have a responsibility to provide services in a safe manner and use products according to professional standards. When negligence results in injury, victims may be entitled to compensation for medical treatment, pain and suffering, scarring, and other related damages.
