Beauty Treatment Compensation Claims

Beauty Treatment Compensation Claims

What type of accident or incident can I claim for?

More and more people are opting for beauty treatments at beauty salons and hairdressers. Unfortunately, due to lack of regulation, there is a risk of reduced hygiene, poor training and experience resulting in therapists and hairdressers not carrying beauty treatments correctly and safely. The common types of treatments that may cause injuries can include beauty treatments such as:

• Bleach, tinting and colouring
• Hair removal
• Botox and filler injections
• Tanning
• Semi-permanent make-up

If you have received a beauty treatment (including those not mentioned above) from a therapist or a hairdresser and you have suffered an injury, you may be able to pursue a personal injury claim.

What should I do if you have suffered an injury following a beauty treatment?

When you attend a salon or hairdresser, you expect personal service from trained and skilled staff. However, if you have suffered an injury as a result of a beauty treatment you have received, you should gather as much information as you can at this stage as it can help strengthen your case. Where possible, we would recommend you take the following steps:

• Take photographs of your injuries and where the accident took place. Make sure you photograph the hazard, faulty or equipment that caused the accident or incident.
• Report the accident or incident and your injuries to the salon or hairdresser and ensure that the accident or incident is recorded in their accident book.
• Where possible, obtain and retain the information of any staff members who were involved when you suffered from injuries. This could include their name and contact details.
• If you need medical assistance, keep a record of any treatment you receive.
