Talk to us about your hairdresser injury compensation claim today
For many people, going to the hairdressers is something to be enjoyed – a way to treat yourself, the beginning of a new style, or preparation for a happy occasion. Others may regard a trip to the hairdresser or barber as a routine activity, something done every few months. Whichever way you view a hairdresser’s appointment, danger is probably not something you associate with it. So when an injury occurs due to mistakes or carelessness by your hairdresser, it can be a shocking and distressing experience.
Accidents can happen whilst having your hair cut or treated and can, unfortunately, lead to significant injuries. Some examples are:
If you have suffered harm as a result of a hairdressing accident, you may be able to recover compensation. Making a claim can help to reduce the negative impact of your injuries by potentially providing restorative treatment and, as far as possible, making amends for the injustice of being injured.
For any claim, it is important to instruct a firm of solicitors who specialise in the type of claim you are making. At Truth Legal, our specialist personal injury solicitors will work tirelessly to obtain the compensation you deserve. We pride ourselves on delivering an ethical, honest, and efficient service.

Whilst a hairdresser is serving you, they owe you a duty of care. This is similar to how a doctor or a dentist must not cause harm whilst you are under their care. This means if your hairdresser is careless or does not meet the standard of care that someone would normally expect, they could be held to have been negligent. If your hairdresser has been negligent, and you have been injured as a result then this will be the basis of your compensation claim against them.
Examples of how a hairdresser could act negligently include:
Tripping or slipping over in a hairdressers would mean a slightly different kind of personal injury claim. Have a look at our page on trip and slip claims for more information.
When making a personal injury claim, you must prove you have suffered your injuries and losses, as well as establishing that the party you are claiming from is responsible for them. Collecting evidence, as soon as possible, to prove these points can greatly improve your chances of a successful claim. For hairdresser claims, important evidence could include:
This may sound overwhelming, but Truth Legal’s expert solicitors will guide and support you throughout your claim. We have extensive experience of building successful personal injury compensation claims. Our advice and effective handling of your claim will ensure your claim is as easy as possible.
Besides your injuries, you can claim for losses which you have suffered as a consequence of the accident or injury. Common types of loss include:
However, your injuries will often be the greatest harm or loss you have suffered in the accident. Many factors are looked at when determining how much compensation should be awarded for your injury. These include:
The law imposes time limits on personal injury claims. If too much time has elapsed from your accident, you may be prevented from making a claim.
In general, the time limit means you have 3 years from the date of your accident in which to either settle your claim or begin court proceedings, unless you are under 18 or have been incapacitated.
This time can quickly run out. If you are thinking of bringing a claim after a hairdressing accident, or you are worried matters have been left for too long, contact us as soon as possible so we can advise you on your position.
Some other rules can change the time limit which may apply in your case. So even if you believe you have missed the deadline, it is worth speaking to us to see if anything can be done.
Truth Legal will always aim to conduct your case on the basis of a ‘No Win, No Fee’ agreement. In the vast majority of situations, this means you will not have to pay our fees if we are unsuccessful in recovering compensation for you.
When a claim is successful, our fees will be paid by a portion of your compensation award and also by the other party (or more commonly their insurers). This is the usual way that No Win, No Fee Agreements operate.
We always discuss funding in detail with you before starting a claim. Also, if you have any concerns about funding your claim, we are more than willing to discuss matters with you.
