FAQs

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Q. What is a beauty treatment claim?

A. A Beauty Treatment Claim includes anything that has caused you an injury while at a beauty salon or clinic. The injuries our clients suffer generally include burns, scarring, allergic reactions, blistering, disfigurement, cuts, bleeding, infections, emotional trauma, ruined hair, alopecia, sight loss and many more. Common examples of treatments which if not done professionally can lead to injury are:

Q. I have suffered a beauty treatment injury, what should I do?

A. If your injuries are serious you should seek medical attention at the earliest opportunity via your GP or a visit to A&E. We encourage you to:

Q. If I make a claim, how much will it cost and how much compensation will I receive?

A. You will only be advised to proceed if we believe you will win your case. We work on ‘no win, no fee’ terms which means there is no financial risk if you lose your case. You will receive professional advice and if your solicitor advises you to proceed you can be confident that you have a very good chance of success. You won’t be asked for any money up-front as your solicitor will pay for your medical report and any court fees on your behalf. Full terms and conditions will be provided at the outset of your case.

We cannot give specific advice about how much compensation you might be entitled to without reviewing your individual case, but we will only take on your case if we believe it has a value of more than £1,000.00 – on average our clients receive between £3,000.00 and £9,000.00, but if your injuries are serious and permanent you will be entitled to much more.

Q. Was the treatment I received negligent?

A. Negligence basically means carelessness, so when we talk of your treatment provider being negligent, we mean the injury you have suffered is their fault because they were in some way careless. Examples of negligence might be having poorly trained staff, not taking proper precautions or using faulty equipment. The beauty industry is largely unregulated, meaning the opportunity for negligence is high. It can be complicated proving that your treatment provider was at fault for your injury, but our clients tend to have good instincts when it comes to negligence – clients know when something has gone wrong that shouldn’t have. It is our job is to understand the failure and to present it in legal terms. Remember, it is the salon or clinic’s responsibility to inform you of all potential side effects of your treatment, and to ensure that the treatment is performed by trained and competent staff to a professional standard.

Q. I signed a waiver; can I still claim?

A. Yes. Whilst a waiver may be an important document to show that you understood the risks, it does not allow the treatment provider to act negligently and cause you an injury. Your solicitor will talk to you about this in more detail when you commence your claim.

Q. I’d prefer to deal with a female lawyer. Is that possible?

A. Yes, of course. Just let us know when you contact us.

Q. Is there a time limit for making a claim?

A. Yes. In most circumstances you have three years from the date of the incident to sue your beauty treatment provider, but there are some exceptions to this rule, so it is important to seek advice as soon as possible. There is no advantage in delaying your claim.

LIP LINE TATTOO

Mrs A visited a salon in Cheshire for a semi-permanent lip-line treatment. Our client wanted a natural looking line to assist her with the application of lipstick. Instead of following our client’s instructions, the technician created an uneven line 3mm from her natural lip line. Our client was extremely distressed by this outcome which caused her sleepless nights and negatively affected her social life. We arranged for her to be seen by a consultant psychologist and a medical cosmetician both of whom supported her case. We negotiated a settlement of £21,000.00.
