yea man..that's sad, but i'm not sure how much of a case she has.....can you actually sue someone for YOUR allergic reaction?

That's what I was thinking, but you never know in this country. :rolleyes:

Arent you supposed to do a strand test with dyes anyway??? That's really unfortunate.

That happened to a lady here a few years ago. Her eyes swelled shut and she had severe breathing problems. It wasn't her first time using dye but the dye she had purchased was old ( That's why you don't buy dye from the dollars store). They said the chemical compund for the dye had broken down because it was too old. I believe some doctor offered to give hair grafts after her scalp healed for free.

Re: the price of beauty..
 

Maybe she had a reaction to the medicine that was given to her at the hospital and not the dye. I mean, I know she said her head was itching and what-not, but whatever was in the medication could have given her a similar reaction as well. Just a thought.

Usually, a reliable hairdresser does a patch test to make sure there's no dye sensitivity. My biological sister's been a cosmetologist for 30 years, and is a rather expert colorist (see my pic in Look at Me for proof).

And as an aside, many salons also make clients sign liability releases in case something like that happens.

Yes you can. Hair color and relaxer products specifically say "DO A PATCH TEST BEFORE USING TO AVOID AN ALLERGIC REACTION".
This applies to both professional and at home products. As ST pointed out, a "good" stylist will do this before applying new products.

Ditto.

The botton line is that these hair care products contain some SERIOUS chemicals and can have an adverse reaction to some people.

I'm quite sure that Steeltrap's sister can attest to this - the field of Cosmetology does have a scientific/medical component and a person cannot graduate from a reputable cosmetology institution without having that down pat. I've had this same conversation with one of the hair stylists that works at the salon that I go to when I get my hair done. It's a serious issue. It's very important for a person who is taking a series of medications to inform the hairstylist b/c you never know what kind of chemical reaction will take place with the hair products and the medications. Some people are lucky, and others are not so lucky. Ultimately it is up to the hairstylist as a TRAINED professional to make the proper assessment and to offer the best possible recommendation allowed.

So are they supposed to do the spot check on a day before you actually get your color? I've had color many times and they have never done this for me. :(

FAKE VIAGRA
 

http://biz.yahoo.com/rc/040630/healt..._viagra_1.html

WASHINGTON, June 30 (Reuters) - Pfizer Inc. (NYSE:PFE - News) is warning pharmacists that fake Viagra tablets have been sold through at least one retail pharmacy in California and likely a second, U.S. regulators said on Wednesday.

The Food and Drug Administration said it and Pfizer "are analyzing the counterfeit product to determine its true composition and whether it poses any health risks."

:rolleyes: Why in the world would anybody want to buy fake Viagra?

That's the same thing that I was thinking, neosoulchild. I mean, I understand what people are saying about the strand test, but most people don't want to wait. Often times, allergic reactions don't occur until later that night or the next day. And not to put down certain people, but some of the folks seen in our Hot Ghetto Mess posts don't appear to be the type that would be patient enough to wait for strand tests. :o I have never been to a salon and had a strand test performed for relaxer nor color. It is also the responsibility of the client and stylist to be aware of the medications, other services recently performed, etc. that may interact.

One thing's for sure: She looks like that movie "Mask."
