Claiming for Chemical Burns From Hairdresser Negligence
Chemical products such as bleach, dye and relaxers can cause serious harm when applied incorrectly or without proper testing. These injuries can include:
- Scalp burns and blistering
- Facial burns
- Eye damage
- Skin irritation or permanent scarring
- Infections requiring medical treatment
We understand how distressing these injuries can be. Alongside the physical pain, many people experience long-term emotional effects such as anxiety, embarrassment or a loss of confidence.
Examples of Hairdresser Negligence
We deal specifically with claims where chemical products have caused injury. Examples include:
- Hair dye or bleach applied too long or too close to the scalp
- Chemicals mixed or applied incorrectly
- Failure to carry out or properly interpret a patch test
- Chemicals coming into contact with the eyes or skin
- Inadequate rinsing or neutralising of products
We do not handle claims based only on hair damage, such as uneven cuts or styling mistakes.
What to Do After a Chemical Burn
If you have suffered a chemical injury at a salon:
- Take photographs of the affected area as soon as possible and continue to document the injury as it develops
- Keep records of the appointment, including who treated you and when
- Save receipts for any expenses such as travel, medication or time off work
- Seek medical treatment and keep copies of any diagnoses or prescriptions
- Avoid further treatments on the affected area until legal advice has been given

Client Testimonials
Two departments one fantastic service
Frank, could I just take a moment to thank you for everything you and Jayne have done. Throughout the whole experience, I was guided by yourself and on occasions, it became quite complicated with my situation however I must express how professional you are and how well you navigated and negotiated the final outcome. Also, Jayne was always a pleasure to speak with and again professional and communicative at every stage. Without a doubt the best Solicitors practice I have ever dealt with the results Macks Solicitors get, speak for themselves.

MiddlesbroughI can’t thank the PI team enough for making it so easy for me.
Highly recommended Macks Solicitors (James & Demi) kept me up to date, answered any questions and gave me the best advice throughout I can’t thank them enough for making it so easy for me. My phone was useless with calls (signal issues) so they emailed, sent letters and left me voicemails to keep me updated, claim was processed so quick they were brilliant.

MiddlesbroughAccident at Work Claim ? i would recommend anyone use Macks

Andrew Greaves
MiddlesbroughA positive outcome in a complex case
Rebecca Montague Dealt with my claim and right from our first conversation she made me feel confident that she would do her best for me. Rebecca was genuinely interested to find out how I actually felt about each stage of the case and I was involved from start to finish. If Rebecca was off any query I had would be dealt with by her colleague or secretary. I have had an extremely positive relationship with this firm and was lucky in that I had a positive outcome in a complex case but this is not the reason I rate this firm a 5. I can only speak from experience and so Rebecca and her team get a 5 because it was always about me and they didn’t give up when things got difficult. Thank you I would have no hesitation in using your firm again.
