Have you had an injury?
The majority of beauty treatments are completed in a safe manner, with minimal risk to the client. However, long term injuries as a result of beauty treatments are affecting thousands of people nationwide when treatments are not carried out correctly.
Cosmetic surgery is increasingly popular, 51,000 people opted for this in 2015. Unfortunately, in some cases cosmetic surgery leads to injuries rather than the desired outcome. These injuries can be catastrophic and are usually caused by medical or surgical negligence.
For most of us, a visit to the hairdressers is a relaxing and enjoyable experience. However, sadly this is not always the case. Common injuries include damaged hair, scalp blistering, and chemical burns, often caused by faulty equipment or poorly trained or inexperienced stylists.
