Beauty & Spa Treatment Injury Claim Experts
beauty treatment Claims
If your beauty treatment has gone wrong due to the negligence or incompetence of the professional beauty practitioner that treated you and you have been injured whilst having Botox injections, your hair dyed, a tattoo or whilst undergoing waxing, we appreciate how distressing it can be and are here to help.
The injuries sustained in some beauty treatment accidents can be devastating, causing disfigurement, hair loss and burns. When beauty treatments go wrong it can affect the patient's confidence, social life, career, and relationships, potentially having a significant impact on someone's life.
Our friendly and helpful team of specialist injury lawyers have extensive knowledge and expertise when it comes to handling beauty treatment and spa injury claims, having successfully helped hundreds of victims claim the compensation and assistance they deserve.
Our specialist Cosmetic Injury Solicitors can help you with the entire process of making a claim against a salon or spa for negligence.
We'll investigate whether you were properly advised about the known risks of the procedure and look at whether the procedure was carried out properly. If equipment or any products were used incorrectly then it is likely that the practitioner will be legally responsible for any adverse effects that you suffer.
We will handle your case on a No Win No Fee promise, offering you the security that if your claim proves to be unsuccessful, there are no legal fees for you to pay, meaning No Win No Fee = No Risk To You.

There are a wide variety of different types of beauty treatment and as such there are a wide variety of things that can and do go wrong. Most salons have a procedure in place which will attempt to prevent this, patch testing for example, but sometimes procedures aren't followed and people, instead of looking better, end up being injured and sometimes losing their hair or being scarred for life.
If you are looking to claim compensation for a personal injury after your beauty treatment went wrong and you want free advice from a fully qualified solicitor then please contact us now.
Using one of our specialist solicitors ensures that you have a better chance of winning your claim and receiving all of the compensation and help that you are entitled to all on a No Win No Fee basis. This means that you won't have any legal costs to pay if your claim is unsuccessful so No Win No Fee = No Risk To You.
When claiming for a beauty treatment injury, there will be two key components to your compensation award, the general damages, and the special damages.
The general damages for any beauty treatment compensation claim are based on the nature of your injury and it’s severity. By reviewing the specifics of your case and by cross-referencing the medical reports regarding your injury against the guidelines set out by the Judicial College, your expert solicitor will use their experience and knowledge to calculate a figure for general damages.
The special damages are rather more straightforward to calculate as they are designed to reimburse you for any injury-related financial losses, such as time off work, as well as to reimburse you for any financial costs you have incurred due to the injury, such as specialist medical treatment. Below is a breakdown of things typically considered in the calculation of the special damages figure:
Each beauty treatment injury compensation claim will be unique. Each injury will differ, as will the effect it has on the victim and the amount of time it takes them to recover, resulting in unique special damages in every case. The fundamental aim of the special damages is to ensure, as much as is possible, that you are in no way financially disadvantaged by your injury due to loss of earnings or financial expenditure.
As the demand for beauty treatment grows and the appetite for ever-cheaper prices increases, so does the potential for cutting corners and making compromises on training, equipment quality and safety measures, as a result, the number of beauty treatment claims is on the increase. The most common injuries include:
Many beauty treatments involve the use of chemical-based products and any reputable therapist would ordinarily arrange for a patch-test to be carried out to ensure you do not suffer an allergic reaction. Sadly, this doesn't always happen and many clients suffer adverse effects, including burns, and in the case of hair products, loss of hair. If the practitioner fails to carry out the appropriate patch-test and you sustain an injury as a result, then you have grounds to make a beauty treatment compensation claim.
Beauty salons use specialist equipment in order to carry out certain specific procedures. In many cases that equipment is designed to generate significant heat. A beauty salon must assess the risks and ensure that all equipment is correctly maintained. If it fails to ensure that equipment is tested and maintained on a regular basis and you sustain an injury as a result, then you are entitled to make a claim.
Spillages are a common occurrence in beauty salons and generally, the floors are smooth for hygiene reasons and ease of cleaning. This combination of factors means that beauty treatment establishments pose a greater risk to customers of slipping and falling. Beauty salons have a duty of care to ensure their floors are kept clean and must ensure they place appropriate “warning” signs when floors are slippery as a warning of the danger. If a salon or spa fails to carry out these obligations, they could be held accountable for any injuries that you sustain as a result of their negligence.
A slip with tweezers during an eyelash treatment can have serious consequences, causing injury to the eye and possible impairment or loss of vision. If you have suffered an eye injury due to the negligent actions of a beauty practitioner, you could be entitled to claim for compensation in recompense for your injuries.
The increasing demand for Botox and other lip filler treatments has seen an increase in claims from customers who have suffered an allergic reaction. If the practitioner has followed all the appropriate steps, is suitably trained and has administered the treatment correctly, then it may be difficult to make a claim but if they failed to discuss the risks of the procedure, are inadequately trained or administered the treatment incorrectly, then you have grounds to pursue a claim.
If you suffer an injury whilst receiving a beauty treatment and fell that the injury was sustained as a direct result of the negligence or incompetence of the practitioner administering it, then you can pursue compensation for your injuries. It is the responsibility of the beauty establishment to ensure that the staff providing treatments are fully trained and are competent in providing the service you have paid for, failure to do so is a breach of their duty of care towards you.
If you are considering making a claim compensation for a beauty treatment-related injury, our team of friendly and approachable specialist injury solicitors will listen to the details of your case, will offer professional, impartial legal advice, and help you understand the strength of your claim.

As an experienced personal injury and civil litigation Solicitor, I represent Claimants in all manner of personal injury case work including injuries as a result of Road Traffic Accidents, Accidents at Work, and Occupiers Liability Accidents.

Paul Rossiter
Managing Director
All Offices
I am the Managing Director of PSR Solicitors. After working in various law firms, both small high street firms and a larger practice in Manchester, I saw a gap in the market for a high quality practice that had the same core high street values of being personable and approachable and combining them with the efficiency and professionalism of a larger practice. PSR Solicitors was therefore established in 2009 in Shotton, Deeside with this aim. Since then PSR Solicitors has provided high quality legal services to local clients throughout North Wales and Cheshire.
I live in Chester with my young family and 2 dogs and enjoy regular holidays along the coast of North Wales.
I have recently been asked to join the board of trustees at Platform For Life, a mental health counselling charity in Chester. Good mental health is the foundation of a more fulfilled, happy and healthy life, yet many families struggle to access the help and support they need to achieve it. Platform for Life offers free local counselling and play therapy for families who would otherwise not be able to afford it.
Mark House
Solicitor - Head of Litigation
Shotton Office, Wrexham Office, Colwyn Bay Office, Wallasey Office
I completed my law degree and legal practice course at Nottingham Law School, before qualifying as a solicitor in 2004. I then worked at a specialist personal injury firm in the East Midlands and a leading regional firm, before joining PSR in 2017.
With PSR I've continued to specialise in acting for Personal Injury claimants and have developed a keen understanding of the procedures and tactics involved in pursuing a claim, as well as the difficulties and concerns faced by people who have suffered as the result of an accident.
Since 2014 I've been proud to help hundreds of people. I've represented the public in all manner of injury claims, including serious orthopaedic injuries, brain damage, and psychological trauma. I was instructed to deal with claims for clients in the aftermath of the Potters Bar rail crash and the Penhallow hotel fire.
In addition, I represent clients in relation to all manner of disputes. I have dealt with professional negligence claims, such as those against solicitors and builders. I have helped clients recover money which is due to them and to dispute invoices which have been sent to them. I have helped business defend claims against them. I have tackled neighbour and boundary disputes.
I live locally to the Colwyn Bay office, and outside of work, I enjoy taking advantage of the coastal and mountain outdoor activities which are available on the doorstep. I'm also heavily involved with an outdoor pursuits charity, which I find an enjoyable and rewarding way of using my free time.
If you have sustained an injury whilst undergoing a beauty treatment and are considering making a beauty treatment compensation claim there are certain things you need to be aware of. Firstly, it is essential that you have started your claim within three years of the date the incident happened unless you were under 18 at the time of the incident, in which case you need to make the claim before the date of your 21st birthday. There are legal reasons for this but there are also practical reasons too, the sooner you make your claim, the better your recollection of the event and the more information and evidence you will be able to provide. Secondly, the better the evidence you can provide, the greater your chances of making a successful claim.
