In a recent survey of nationwide hair salons it was found that a staggeringly high proportion of hair salons do not require allergy skin tests before hair dye chemicals are applied to the hair.
Hair dye manufacturers advise that a small amount of dye should be applied to the skin approximately 48 hours before the customer has their hair dyed in order to test for a reaction. Unfortunately, Solicitors at the Manchester branch of MPH all too often see the devastating consequences of the failure of hairdressers to do this.
It would surprise most people to find that anyone can pick up a pair of scissors and apply strong chemicals like bleach to someone’s head without any qualifications. I have a number of cases at the moment where people have suffered horrendous burns to the scalp and hair loss due to the negligent use of these strong chemicals by staff who often lack any qualifications or experience.
If you have been injured at the hairdressers recently and are considering making a claim for compensation you should telephone our specialist team of personal injury lawyers who regularly deal with accidents relating to the negligent application of health and beauty treatments which include hair treatments.
