The hair-do from hell
By Elizabeth Hopkirk, Evening Standard

She had hoped to look like Beyonce Knowles.

But what should have been a relaxing trip to the hairdresser turned into a nightmare for 22-year-old Ebony Glanville.

The student suffered what appeared to be an allergic reaction to hair dye used during her trip to the salon. Her scalp, face and eyes swelled severely within a few hours of the treatment.

Today, almost two weeks later, Ms Glanville is still taking steroid medication. She now plans to sue the salon she claims is responsible.

She said: "I left the salon at 8pm on the Friday and the next day my scalp started itching and I saw blood and dye on my headscarf.

"I went to hospital and they gave me some tablets, but when I woke up on Monday the top of my head was three times bigger than normal and my eyes were swollen as well.

"I looked like Frankenstein's monster. I could hardly see anything and I was really scared because I truthfully thought I was going to stay like that. I thought I was going to go blind.

"I wanted to look like Beyonce not ET." She added: "My mum calls me the Elephant Man. I have hardly spoken to anyone because I could see from the corner of my eye that people were giving me funny looks."

Miss Glanville paid £140 to have her hair dyed and micro-weave hair extensions added at Doreen Hair Fashions in Finsbury Park. She added a ?5 tip.

The owner of the salon is out of the country but a member of staff claimed Miss Glanville must have been allergic to the black dye used.

Miss Glanville, who lives in Stonebridge and is studying counselling, said she was still feeling the after-effects. "I am on crutches because I get weak. The dye is still in my system. My eyes are jet black. It looks like someone's punched me in the eye.

"When you go to a salon you put your trust in them. I have spoken to a solicitor and they are going to try to sort it out. I want an apology and compensation."

A spokesman for Accidents Direct, the compensation claims company contacted by Miss Glanville, said: "She definitely has a case."

The Doreen salon website says: "We do our upmost best to make you feel beautiful ... all of our customers leave with beautiful hair and most of all, a smile on their faces."

WHOA!

Well I guess she has a case, but I can't see how the salon was supposed to know she has allergies to certain types of dyes. Hair dye has chemicals in in it along with relaxers, as a human being and consumer, you're supposed to be conscious of your own allergies. I hope the woman doesn't put the salon out of business because I don't think it's their fault entirely!

But aren't they suppose to do a stand test first. OR ask if you ever had any allergic reactions to dyes in the past??? Just like when you go to fill a perscription you're asked about any allergies!!! I would love to see how this one turns out!!!!!

Probably as a precaution, they should just to cover their own butt if anything!

In all honesty, I have never had a hairdresser ask me about allergies to chemicals, dyes, or anything of that sort. I know of people who have to tell the ask the hair dresser if any product they intend to use has certain chemicals in it because they have allergic reactions to certain things.

My friends here are looking at this horrified and one is here telling me her story: She had grown her hair out natural for 2 years and it was long and looked nice and healthy. She went and put in some Hawaain product to make your hair wavy... it made her hair drop out at the root! A couple years after that, she used the hawaain silk relaxer at the salon, the same thing happedned again! They ended figuring out that both products had ALOE VERA in it, and that, combined with the other chemicals is what made her hair drop out! Crazy, cuz in any other situation she can use aloe vera.

Sometimes, it's just the combonation of the chemicals in the product...

OMG. see that why i do my own hair. am not ready to go to jail for killing a hair dresser

I wonder what happened wit this case....

You can't sue anybody & expect to win a case like this. The salon is not responsible because she is allergic to something. If they used the product correctly then they are not liable. If she wanted to sue anybody it should be the maulfacture of the dye used. I feel her pain and I would want to be compensated also but its not the hairdressers fault. Some people!

Wow...what we women will do all in the name of beauty. That's why I do my own research before I do anything.
