    What can I do?

    There is a thread I put up about the perm previous to this, explaining in more detail what had happened... My "employer" (which is what she likes to call herself towards me) has pushed out 2 other stylists as I started, it put me off right away... But I felt sorry for her as I was the only...

    What can I do?

    I rushed that post, as I was quite busy, I don't have to give notice to take days off if I have noone booked in. I went to a 'make a claim' solicitors and he couldn't understand why I was being upset as he had read through a contract I had been given and said technically I am employed, yet I pay...

    What can I do?

    On 26th of July 2011, I started working at a hairdressers about an hour and a half away from my home, by public transport. On the 30th I had a client in, who bullied me into doing a perm, long story short, I warned her itbwas a bad idea, she demanded it be done and her hair fell out.... She is...

    Can she sue?

    The only witness I havecis my boss, when I was telling the woman I wasn't going to risk it, by putting perm solution on, she snapped at me and made me feel very small. My boss shouted me over and asked if I was okay and if she still wanted it doing, my boss isn't a hairdresser, so she didn't...

    Can she sue?

    Thankyou very very much for the advice, it has really helped! A quick question though, should I write down my statement, then write a defence aswell for questions that will most likely or may occur? Such as, why did you assume your collegue had already done the checks?

    Can she sue?

    And it was only her parting area that was like that, the rest of her hair was not visably/too physically ruined!

    Can she sue?

    It was a spiral perm, her hair was below shoulder length, lotion goes on after rods are in, and I don't have a witness as I haven't spoke to other collegues as of yet! I stayed behind for 3 hours after it happened crying while she had her hair cut!

    Can she sue?

    I am absolutely horrified with what had happened! I spent 2 hours apologising to a screaming woman and angry husband, I can't begin to imagine how she must feel, but I don't know if she's going too far in my own opinion!

    Can she sue?

    I have never been in this situation before and hope I never am again! Saturday 30th of July, I had a perm booked in at 1 o'clock. (as I am a newly level 3 qualified hairdresser.) I didn't book the client in, a friend who used to work with me did. And from recently leaving college, I assumed...
