Los Angeles Personal Injury Lawyer

All nail salons, hair salons and beauty salons have a standard of care which they are required by law to provide to all of their customers.  These salons will generally breach this standard of care, requiring the need for an Attorney, in the three (3) general occurrences:

Los Angeles Salon Fails to Select Appropriate Treatment

The salon's employees are required to provide customers with a standard of care when providing them with the requested treatment or service.  Upon entering into a salon, a customer will generally tell the Stylist, cosmetologist, masseuse, barber, of the desired service or treatment.  It is then the responsibility of the Los Angeles salon employee to use their knowledge and experience in providing the customer with an appropriate product with a particular treatment or service to achieve the desired result.  If the beautician fails to provide this standard of care, you will be able to recover for your direct injuries. 

Once such example of a failure to correctly select an appropriate product for a given treatment may be because of the salon employee's failure to perform a preliminary patch test, which may further result in permanent hair loss, scars injuries, or disfigurement requiring extensive plastic surgery.

Beauty Salon Fails to Use Product as Directed

Secondly, the beauty salon may still be liable if they fail to use the product as directed.  This may result even if the cosmetologist or beauty salon employee is using the correct product for your salon treatment - provided the negligent salon employee failed to follow the product manufacturer's directions or instructions.  Even minor mistakes such as incorrectly mixing, applying or application time minimums or maximums may have detrimental effects.  Where these errors result in serious physical and emotional injuries to a salon customer, it is important to hire a Los Angeles beauty salon attorney to represent you.

Failure to Carefully and Diligently Perform the Requested Treatment or Service

Lastly, the salon employee may breach a duty to the salon customer by failing to carefully and diligently perform the requested treatment or service.  Hair salon employees will therefore be liable for any injuries as a result of their recklessness, negligence or intentional acts in the performance of the specific treatment or service which is below the standard of salon care for this profession.
