When your “Relaxation and Pampering” Day goes WRONG: Personal Injuries in Beauty Salons and Spas

When people consider going to a spa or a beauty salon, they imagine themselves relaxing, distressing; an enjoyable experience. They go to beauty salons to boost their self-confidence and to feel better about themselves. However, for some people, going the spa experience can become their worst nightmare. As technology evolves, and the search for the fountain of permanent youth continues, cosmetic treatments are using powerful chemicals that may cause serious and permanent injuries when they are handled negligently.

Some of the injuries that occur at these stores include: Infections, burned scalp from hair dyes or other chemicals, disfigurement, baldness from hair braiding or extensions, neck injuries, and, less commonly, “beauty parlor strokes.”

One of the reasons for these injuries to occur is improperly trained personnel. While the people performing these procedures are often licensed for some procedures, they may not be licensed or properly trained to perform all the procedures required by their employer. Consequently, spas and salons are often cited for violating health standards which often means treatments are performed in less than desirable conditions. Injuries caused by salons and spas are on the rise for exactly these reasons.

Additionally, slip and fall accidents are another common cause for personal injuries in beauty salons and spas. Cut hair, spilled hair products, and other slippery surfaces need to be cleaned off the floor quickly. Additionally, because many beauty salons have tile or linoleum floors, it’s much easier for a customer to slip and fall.

In addition to state laws, all beauty salons are subject to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ strict regulations.
