Finger Nail Extension Claims

Advice and Assistance from Cohen Cramer

Your fingernail extension claim

Nail salons, like so many areas of the beauty industry, are unregulated and, as the number of salons increases, so do the number of claims for negligence in particular fingernail extension claims. If you suffer injury as a result of the poor application or removal of fingernail extensions while at a salon or spa then we can help you claim the compensation that you deserve.

The use of fingernail extensions is not in itself dangerous however the acids and chemicals that are used as well as the actual physical act involved in attaching and removing such can lead to infection, injury and long-term damage.

Common problems that can arise from a lack of skill and or poor hygiene during nail procedures are:

  • infections caused by equipment that has not been properly cleaned before and after use;
  • badly fitted nails that lift from the nail so that bacterial growth can develop under the nail extension;
  • cuts to the cuticles (the skin surrounding the nail) resulting in an infection;
  • allergic reactions to the chemicals/glue used due to a lack of patch testing.

If the skin around the nail is cut or broken during the procedure it can allow bacteria to enter under the nail leading to infection and inflammation likewise a failure to use sterilised equipment can lead to infection and bacteria being passed from one party to another.
