Hairdressing accident?
We're here to help

Hair Lawyers is the UK's first dedicated hair injury compensation service to be run by an expert legal team.

Anyone who has the misfortune to suffer an accident and injury from hairdressing is far from alone. Problems are much more common than people realise, usually caused by incompetence or bad technique on the part of the hairdresser. It's a profession which is completely unregulated in this country.

The chemicals used for bleaching, colouring, perming and straightening hair are all strong and can cause chemical burns to the skin or scalp if used incorrectly. People can experience allergic reactions, skin swelling, breathing difficulties and hair loss. Hair extensions can be just as traumatic, with the risk of severe and permanent damage. And contact dermatitis in hairdressing salons is over 15 times the national average.

Our team of advisors has years of experience in personal injury compensation, working with independent hair consultants on a no win, no fee basis. If you are an injured party, you pay nothing. If you make a successful claim, you receive the full compensation due our fees are paid for by insurance or by the third party.

Provided the incident occurred in the last three years, applicants need only provide basic details via phone, post or email for us to assess whether the injury and circumstances make you eligible for compensation.

If you think you have suffered any type of accident or trauma from hairdressing, click on the claim form or phone us free on 0800 622 6499.
