Hair Extension Damage: What do you need to know?

Damages Case Study

A horrified customer has been left bald after her hair extensions were fitted with an incorrect glue. This is an example of Hair Extension Damage.

The 38-year-old was left in agony and with a bleeding scalp and believes she was left with no choice but to shave her hair off altogether after her hair extensions were glued to her scalp.

The customer said she was gobsmacked that this has happened and would not wish for someone else to go through the same pain she has.

The mother of two asked a mobile beautician who had previously done spray tans for her to fit her hair extensions believing that she knew what she was doing.

Halfway through the session her scalp became really sore and by the evening the pain was unbearable.

She said she was told the new hair would ‘slacken off’ and the pain would ease the next day but 24 hours later she was still suffering.

It was only after a trip to a local hairdressers to get them removed it was explained that they had in fact been fitted with an incorrect glue.

Mis-Diagnosis: Broken Bones

An outraged mother has revealed how doctor failed to spot her son had broken his ankle.

The son, aged 8, was diagnosed with a sprained ankle and sent home. Only for the pain and suffering to continue which led them back to hospital and being told that her son had, in fact, broken his ankle. The fact that he was suffering from broken bones without having the proper treatment left the son feeling scared and traumatized from the pain.

This was a horrifying ordeal for the mother of two, who had to witness her son’s pain and suffering through mis-diagnosis of his broken bones.

Originally, doctors advised that a course of Calpol and exercise would help with the pain. However, upon their return to the A and E department, a cast was fitted.

Workplace Accident: Man Loses Fingers

A Workplace Accident can change lives

A terrible workplace accident occurred at a  decorative panel manufacturing company. The business was fined after a worker was injured when using an industrial saw.

Leeds Magistrates’ Court heard how, in March 2016, an employee of an industrial cutting company was working alongside colleagues using a beam saw to cut sheets of MDF. When he reached into a hole in the fixed guarding, which he believed was a viewing hole, to clear waste offcuts, his fingers became trapped under a drive chain and sprocket. As he pulled his hand out, three fingers were severed.

An investigation found that, while suitable guarding was in place on other areas of the machine, the company had failed to identify the hazard posed by the open hole where access to the dangerous moving parts was possible and injury could be caused.

The company was found to have breached the code of practice for the safe use of machinery in the workplace and was ordered to pay costs of £45,859.
