Claiming Compensation For An Injury At The Hairdresser

Hairdressing is a continually expanding industry in the UK due to factors including light touch government regulation, new treatments, and consistently high demand among both men and women. Hairdressing salons are unregulated in the UK and so do not have a professional body to set or monitor trading standards. A hairdresser does not require any formal qualifications before offering services to the public. This situation has led to calls for the UK to impose European-style regulation on the industry. The fact that hair salon workers are frequently handling strong chemical solutions and applying them to sensitive areas of a client's scalp makes the need for fully trained, experienced professionals all the more pressing. In the meantime hairdressing salon customers are frequently injured due to untrained staff or due to poor health and safety procedures and failures in management.

An injury in a hairdressing accident will have two components for the purposes of a compensation claim. Firstly physical injuries, pain and suffering will be considered, for example burns or cuts to the scalp and possibility of future infection. Secondly the practical and emotional implications of the accident are assessed. If a customer has lost the greater part of their hair for example they are likely to feel humiliated and unable to face going to work for some time.

Despite the lack of regulation on hairdressing salons, they are still governed by the Occupier's Liability Act 1957 and must hold public liability insurance to compensate any visitor to the premises who is injured through no fault of their own.

Accidents at the hairdresser are most often related to popular treatments such as perming, colouring and straightening. Such procedures involve chemical mixtures being applied using hot implements, to the hair, skin and scalp. Damage to the hair and skin will normally be caused by a solution that has been inaccurately prepared. Otherwise, if hair strand and skin patch tests have not been properly conducted by the salon, clients may suffer an allergic reaction to chemicals contained in the solution. More simple hair treatments may also cause injury to customers if for example scissors or hot tongs come into contact with the skin. All these types of accidents normally involve poorly trained or inexperienced salon staff, though responsibility ultimately rests with the hair salon.

Injuries and illnesses may also be caused if a hair salon does not have adequate ventilation, allows unhygienic practices, or fails to follow other safety principles. Salon workers are at risk of contracting occupational diseases such as dermatitis if precautions are not followed, and must be provided with appropriate protective equipment while working.
