Wolfson & Leon Home
Barbershop Accident Attorney
Most of us look forward to treating ourselves at the local barbershop, hair salon, or beauty spa. After just a few snips, brand new nail polish, or a relaxing massage, we emerge feeling refreshed. We go to barbershops and salons to look good for memorable events in our lives, a special night out, or just for some monthly pampering.
As relaxing as a barbershop, salon, or spa may be, there are hazards present. Sharp instruments, electrical appliances, chemicals, and the high usage of water can create dangerous conditions for customers. To add to this, the level of experience of the stylists working in a barbershop or salon can also contribute to injury.
While many injuries may be relatively minor, some accidents can result in severe injuries. Scars, burns, or disfigurement can cause lifelong pain and suffering. If you have been injured while visiting a barbershop or salon, call Wolfson & Leon for help. Our Barbershop accident lawyers defend the rights of injury victims. Call (305) 285-1115 for a free consultation.
Frequent Accidents in Barbershops and SalonsSharp objects, chemicals, and electrical devices can cause injuries if the stylist slips or uses these improperly. The high usage of water and sprays can lead to slippery walkways and footrests. Some of the most common accidents that can occur in a barbershop, salon, or spa include;
- Cuts and lacerations – Scissors or razors used to give us that great cut can also hurt us. We can be poked, jabbed, or scraped by sharp objects. While these may seem like minor injuries that will clear up, they can lead to serious infections if not treated. Cuts and scrapes received during a pedicure can easily become infected if that basin that you put your feet in wasn’t properly washed and disinfected after the last customer was served.
- Burns – Products used to style our hair may contain chemicals, which can cause burns or allergic reactions. In some cases, these burns can cause permanent scarring. Reactions to chemicals used in hair can result in temporary or permanent hair loss. If hair dryers, curlers, or straighteners are used, these can cause burns to our neck, head, or face.
- Slips and falls - Sprays that hairdressers use as they style your hair can land on the floor, making it slippery when you get out of the chair. Water spilling out from basins used to wash hair can result in slippery floors. Pedicures can be particularly dangerous. Stepping down from an elevated position onto a wet floor can cause serious injury if you slip and fall.
