Chemical Burns =/

oh my god O_o that's just horrible! It's never happened to me or anyone I know so I'm not sure on advice, but if it comes to it there are some really good wigs available, and shaving her head in itself can be a really good edgy look.  There are many stunning alt models who shave their heads including the beautiful Helene Atsuko ( http://www.modelmayhem.com/1002918

BUT it may not necessarily come to that - Hopefully it will grow back. Meanwhile - that hairdressers is dangerous and should not be operating, Can she report it to a trading standards authority?

Good luck with this hun I'm really sorry to hear it's happened, hope you get a more helpful reply soon x

im so sorry! i would go to citizens advice bureau and see about taking it to court, because surely this is gbh? it's totally disgusting!

i have no xpertise in this area im afriad, i geuss just not using harsh chemicals and heat near the scalp. good luck to her

Thanks for the comments, she has some meds from the docs, just have to hope it all goes okay. I told her to report them as they clearly shouldn't be open, but not sure what she is going to do, she went back to them and complained, they told her it was just sensitivity (which I still say they should have tested first) like it was her fault but gave her the money back.

she definatly has legal rights. try one o those no win no fee things

i used to do hair professionally and we are taught a very simple rule, if a person is in pain or discomfort you look at their scalp if you see irritation you rinse out right away! what they did is criminal negligence, i hope she got her money back, and i hope she tells everyone who will listen not to go to that place, that is irresponsible hair dressing, and it really pisses me off, because as a stylist you have a responsablity to provide a pleasent safe experience... grumble grumble.

Oh jesus, thats terrable, The hairdresser should wash off any chemicals on the scalp when they see the slightest bit of red, let alone BLEEDING! Also they should of done the skin test, she could of had a serious life threatening reaction to any tints present in the bleach. Your friend has every right to speak to a lawyer about this as its really serious. As they caused physical harm her, after knowing they should of washed it off, she can sue them, and sue them for even more if she has long term damage. The only reason they didnt wash it off is because they knew she wouldnt pay if her hair wasn't fully bleach. Turns out its gonna cost them a hell of a lot more if your friend takes serious action against this.

WTF, that's wack! She starts bleeding and they go "it should stop in a couple of days..". Damn. Sue them!

Thanks guys, I've been telling her that she has grounds for some kind of compensation but she isn't sure, glad to see that others agree with me!!

PLEASE force her to take action! if she doesn't, thi hairdresser might go do it again on other people

I agree, she must do something about this, this hairdresser could do that to more people and cause more damage... :

I keep trying but I don't think she will =/ Gunna keep trying though.

If if does come to losing her hair...forever young wigs are gorgeous. They saved my life when I melted my hair with bleach lol.

Pretty sure the hairdressers probably broke Health & Safety Regs by not testing the skin sensitivity beforehand. I hope her skin recovers okay and that the hair grows back okay. If not, I'm sure there will be options for her.

I also had a 'mare with a salon once who put bleach on for 3 hours and it still didn't go blonde properly. God knows what they were using because when I do it at home using 20% it only takes 15 minutes at the most! And this was a Salon who specialized in fashion colours!

wow. it realy does worry me that there are such incompitent people out there bein allowed to do and get away with this stuff
