Legal action for loss of one foot of hair?? Hairdresser did a chop job!?

Well, this is the case: She went to the salon, asked for a trim. Her hair "was" 2.5ft. long (longest layer) and the lady did fine on the back, she gets her hair "under-layered instead of getting it layered from top, down, she goes from under, out!! She has very thick hair and it is heavy %26amp; that helps.

Anyway, they totally messed up her bangs, and she went to another salon to get them straightened out, the lady who was 'fixing' it thought the under-layer was a MISTAKE and chopped off almost a foot of her hair to match it w/ the shortest layer!! She is sooooo upset she is even taking advice from her BROTHER (strange) and we are going to go get it fixed. We have pictures taken the day of the cut, and after. Is there anything we can do? If so what and what are the possible outcomes of the actions we can take??

Thank you all very MUCH!!

I think the second Hairdresser is at fault, because being a proffesssional she should have consulted the girl first to let her know how much of the length she was going to be taking off, and to see how much of the length she wanted to keep. Besides she just went in for a bang trim, how did the Hairstylist convince her that the under-layer was a mistake. Sounds like the the second Hairstylist she went to was unprofessional and should have consulted her first about how much she was going to cut off.

The only thing you can do is take the woman that gave the second cut to small claims court and sue her. The problem is, the only thing she can really do is give you back the money for the cut. It's not like she can make the hair grow back lol.

I have to wonder though, if it was only her bangs that needed fixing, why did she let the woman even touch the back of her head?

Chill out! It's not like someone took an axe to her face. Is she a world famous model or actress? Then she might have a chance in court! This is why people go to a very reputable stylist they can trust... which she did not do. How in the world can someone cut off almost a foot of hair without you noticing what was going on? Was she asleep?

Just let it grow out and never go back to those two hair salons. Court is time consuming, and causes more stress. We don't need that in life.

It is sooooo upsetting when hairdressers mess up, but a month or two she will be able to get it styled again. Without a pictue it's hard to give advise on what she can do until it grows out. +

I agree with Carly, in the scheme of things, its a hair cut for goodness sake, its not like she has just been diagnosed with cancer, or been mugged in the street and had her face rearranged.

and as for suing this hairdresser what on earth do you think you will accomplish with that avenue, her hair won't grow back any quicker, the only ones to win in that situation are the lawyers, they will happily take your money.
