Colour Damage
Colours including tints, bleach, highlights – colour mixed incorrectly, or product left on the hair too long by the hairdresser. Bleach may well cause scalp damage or hair loss.
Hair Extensions
Perms
Straightening
Allergic Reactions
Scalp Damage
Scalp damage, hair loss/alopecia caused by bleach damage or hair extensions not correctly applied.
Hairdressing accidents occur for a number of reasons. Quite often when a product is left on the hair too long or the product is mixed incorrectly.
When someone attends a hairdresser they may already have a color on their hair. The hairdresser should carry out a patch test 48 hours prior to the application of the product to make sure that the product they intend to use is suitable for you. If this is not carried out, you may suffer with an allergic reaction and scalp irritation.
In some cases, the product used may not be suitable for your hair causing chemically damaged hair. It is the responsibility of the hairdresser to decide whether a product is suitable, even if you requested it.
Clients describe their hair as feeling like chewing gum, being unable to get a comb/brush through their hair and unable to manage it at all. This is extremely distressing and upsetting as unfortunately chemically damaged hair does not repair itself, it has to be grown out.
Compensation for the damage to your hair
Your solicitors will arrange for you to be seen by a hair specialist (Trichologist) who will provide evidence in support of the damage to your hair and any associated scalp damage.
The Trichologist will confirm the percentage of hair that is damaged and the length of time it will take for your hair to grow out. It is important to take some photographs of the damage to your hair as these will be used by the Trichologist when preparing the report to claim for compensation for you.
How we can help
If you have had an accident of this type and you have been left with chemically damaged hair or hair loss you could be entitled to compensation.
We understand that this type of accident can be extremely upsetting and frustrating. We offer a sympathetic ear with advice on how to claim and talk you through the procedure step by step, without adding to the upset you are already suffering from.
100% No Win No Fee No hidden costs
It doesn’t cost you anything upfront to make a claim. That’s because our expert solicitors work on a no win, no fee basis.
This means that if your claim is unsuccessful, there will be no cost to you. There’s only a fee to pay if you win compensation – and that fee is deducted from the amount of compensation you secure. This amount would be agreed between you and your chosen solicitors before you claim.
