Tennessee Cosmetic & Nail Salon Infection Lawyers
When you visit a salon, you expect a relaxing experience, not a painful infection or permanent injury. Unfortunately, unsanitary conditions and poor hygiene practices at salons can lead to serious medical problems. At Fox, Farley, Willis & Burnette, we represent clients across the state who have suffered infections and other harm after salon visits. As experienced Tennessee salon infection lawyer advocates, we help victims hold negligent salons and technicians accountable for unsafe practices and recover compensation for their injuries.
Understanding Salon Infection and Injury Claims in Tennessee
Salons are legally required to follow strict health and safety standards to protect clients from infection and injury. When those standards are ignored, customers can be exposed to dangerous bacteria, fungi, and viruses that thrive in contaminated tools or poorly cleaned environments. Our attorneys handle a wide range of salon-related injury cases involving both infection and chemical exposure.
We represent clients injured by:
- Unsterilized nail or pedicure instruments
- Contaminated whirlpool footbaths or spa tubs
- Improperly applied acrylic nails, gels, or adhesives
- Chemical burns from hair dye, relaxers, or bleaching products
- Allergic reactions or rashes caused by unsafe products
- Technicians lacking proper training or licensing
We work to uncover how your injury occurred, whether through negligence, poor sanitation, or violation of Tennessee Board of Cosmetology regulations.
What to Do After a Salon-Related Infection or Injury
Acting quickly after a salon injury or infection is crucial to protecting your health and legal rights.
- Seek immediate medical treatment and follow all care instructions.
- Take photographs of your injury and the salon area or tools involved.
- Save receipts, appointment records, and product packaging if possible.
- Avoid further treatments or chemical exposure until your doctor advises it’s safe.
- Contact our office for a free case evaluation before speaking to the salon or their insurance company.
Our team investigates every aspect of your case, ensuring the evidence is preserved and your medical needs are documented for your claim.
Common Salon-Related Injuries and Infections
Unsanitary salon conditions can cause a variety of painful and sometimes life-threatening infections. Many victims develop bacterial infections such as staph or MRSA, fungal infections like athlete’s foot or nail fungus, or viral infections transmitted through contaminated tools. Chemical burns, hair loss, allergic reactions, and permanent scarring are also common outcomes. These injuries can lead to extended medical treatment, hospital stays, or even surgery. Our firm works closely with medical specialists to assess the full extent of your injuries, both immediate and long-term, so we can pursue the full compensation you deserve.
Compensation Available to Salon Injury Victims
Victims of negligent salon practices have the right to pursue financial recovery for their losses. Compensation may include:
- Medical expenses and medication costs
- Lost income from missed work
- Pain, suffering, and emotional distress
- Permanent scarring or disfigurement
- Costs of corrective medical or cosmetic procedures
We evaluate each case carefully, ensuring every expense and hardship is fully included in your claim.
Proving Negligence in a Tennessee Salon Infection Case
To hold a salon or technician responsible, we must show that they failed to follow reasonable health and safety practices. Our investigation may include reviewing inspection records, interviewing witnesses, consulting infection control experts, and obtaining medical opinions. We build a detailed case showing that the salon’s negligence caused your injuries and that you deserve full compensation for your damages.

Deadlines for Filing a Tennessee Salon Infection Claim

Our attorneys act quickly to ensure all legal deadlines are met, your case is properly documented, and your rights are protected.
Handling Insurance Companies and Salon Owners
Salons and their insurers may deny responsibility or offer inadequate settlements. They might claim that infections are not their fault or that you did not follow post-treatment instructions. Our firm knows how to counter these defenses. We negotiate firmly, present strong medical evidence, and, if necessary, take your case to court to secure the fair outcome you deserve.
