Nail Salon Injuries

A trip to the nail salon should be a relaxing, routine part of your self-care—not a source of pain, infection, or long-term injury. But when salons cut corners on hygiene, training, or safety, clients can suffer serious consequences. If you’ve been harmed during or after a visit to a nail salon, you may have a legal case—and we’re here to help you understand your rights. At the Law Office of Maria R. Alaimo, we approach these cases with both compassion and urgency. Because no one should have to pay the price for someone else’s negligence.

What Are Nail Salon Injuries?

Nail salons are regulated environments, and technicians have a responsibility to follow proper safety, sanitation, and professional protocols. When they don’t, clients can be exposed to serious health risks.

Common Types of Nail Salon Injuries Include:

  • Bacterial or fungal infections (from unclean tools or surfaces)
  • Chemical burns from harsh or misused products
  • Cuts and open wounds from improper tool handling
  • Allergic reactions to adhesives or acrylics
  • Ingrown nails or permanent nail bed damage
  • Viral infections like hepatitis or HPV

Some of these injuries might seem minor at first—but can develop into serious medical issues requiring surgery, antibiotics, or long-term treatment.

Understanding Nail Salon Injuries - When Beauty Turns into Harm

Nail salon injuries are often dismissed or minimized—but they can leave lasting scars, physically and emotionally. You deserve to feel safe in a space designed for care and beauty. Holding negligent salons accountable helps protect you and others from further harm.

How Do These Injuries Happen?

Nail salon injuries usually stem from some form of negligence, including:

  • Failure to sterilize tools between clients
  • Using expired or unapproved products
  • Lack of technician training or licensing
  • Rushing through treatments without care
  • Ignoring client allergies or requests to stop
  • Not following state health regulations

In many cases, salons are more focused on volume than safety—and clients are the ones who suffer.

Do You Have a Case?

If your injury was the result of a salon’s failure to maintain a safe and sanitary environment, you may have a claim under personal injury or premises liability law.

You don’t need to figure this out alone. We’ll review what happened, evaluate your injuries, and help you understand your legal options.

Compensation May Include:
  • Medical expenses (including emergency care and follow-up treatment)
  • Prescription medications or ongoing care
  • Lost wages (if your injury kept you from work)
  • Pain and suffering
  • Scarring or disfigurement
  • Emotional distress or embarrassment
  • Permanent damage or disability

Our goal is to seek full and fair compensation that reflects what you’ve been through—and what it will take to move forward.
