Instances of salon negligence are on the rise. Cosmetic treatments are available at many more locations and at more affordable prices than ever before. It is important that consumers scrutinize the credentials of any esthetician, cosmetologist, and waxer before submitting to treatments. State and local oversight of businesses offering these services is in its nascent stages.
We recently settled a New York City case involving the negligent administration of “black henna”, a chemical compound far different from natural henna, a plant based derivative. Our client was never informed of the dangers associated with “black henna” prior to it being used upon her and the consequences were painful and embarrassing.
If you have been injured during a cosmetic procedure, we would be happy to offer you a complementary consultation on your recovery options.
