Nail salons offer cosmetic services that are meant to be a luxury. In fact, getting your nails done should be pampering and relaxing. Your experience at the nail salon should never be painful or result in harm of any kind. Unfortunately, nail salon injuries are all too common. Even a minor cut around your cuticle or on your feet can result in devastating injuries and costly medical bills.

At Harman Law Firm, we understand what it takes to successfully represent clients involved in a nail salon injury due to the negligence of the technician or the unsafe tools and premises of the salon. We can help you get the compensation you deserve in terms of the medical costs, loss of work, psychological harm and other losses you may have incurred as a result of your nail salon injury.

Does Your Salon Meet Required Safety Guidelines?

Salons have a legal responsibility to maintain sanitary premises and meet strict health and safety regulations for their patrons. This includes storing chemicals properly, sanitizing instruments, using products only as directed and ensuring foot baths and other surfaces are not contaminated. Nail salons must also be staffed with nail technicians licensed by the Georgia State Board of Cosmetology and Barbers.

Negligence on behalf of the nail technician or the salon’s failure to meet these guidelines can result in serious injury and even life-threatening infections. At Harman Law Firm, we can help you determine if and how your nail salon can be held accountable for your personal harm. Our attorneys are experienced in helping clients recover their losses and helping them get the compensation they deserve after such an unexpected injury.

Types of Nail Salon Injuries

Negligent or reckless work completed at a nail and beauty salon can involve more than just temporary discomfort. A minor cut that was caused by an unsanitary or contaminated tool can result in serious infection, permanent scarring and even loss of limbs in severe cases.

If you have experienced one of the following common nail and beauty salon injuries, please contact Harman Law Firm for trusted legal representation:

• Cuts and abrasions
• Wax or hot water burns
• Bacterial infections
• Staph infection
• Slip and fall injuries
• Allergic reactions

What To Do If You’ve Been Injured

If you have suffered an injury at a nail salon, seek medical attention immediately. However, to improve your legal case against the salon, it is important to document the incident as much as possible. This involves saving the receipt of the salon service, taking pictures of your injury and obtaining any itemized medical records and bills. Before you contact the nail salon, please contact one of our personal injury attorneys so we can help you navigate your claim in the most strategic way. At Harman Law Firm, we have extensive experience in personal injury lawsuits, including those that involve salon negligence in Georgia.
