Eyelash extensions are a popular beauty treatment, as they give the appearance of thicker, fuller lashes and can be a favoured alternative to false eyelashes because extensions can last for several weeks. However, if an eyelash treatment isn’t carried out properly, allergic reactions and severe injury may occur. If it can be shown that the harm you suffered resulted from your treatment being performed negligently, then you may have the grounds to make an eyelash extension allergy claim.
Oftentimes, the physical pain of an allergic reaction can be made worse by the stress of financial losses, including reduced earnings and the cost of therapy. Not just this, but your confidence may be affected if your appearance is impacted by the eyelash extension negligence.

With a proven track record of successfully representing our clients, we can help you seek the personal injury compensation you deserve with empathetic, expert support that always puts your needs first.

4.8You can make an eyelash extension reaction claim if you are able to show that you suffered harm as a result of a salon’s or another third party’s negligent actions. In order to determine this, you must demonstrate:
In this scenario, under the Occupiers’ Liability Act 1957, the party in control of the place where you got eyelash extensions owes you a duty of care. Under this legislation, occupiers (e.g., beauty treatment salons) must take practical action to ensure that visitors to their premises are reasonably safe. Moreover, salons and other businesses that provide a service have a responsibility under Part 1 of the Consumer Rights Act 2015 to do so with skill and care.

When calculating compensation payouts for allergic reactions to eyelash extensions, solicitors may consider what harm was suffered, whether there was any psychological distress, and how a claimant was affected financially. In successful eyelash extension allergy claims, general damages are always awarded.
When this head of claim is being valued, professionals can look at the extent of pain and suffering and the loss of amenity that has affected your quality of life. Additionally, professionals can reference the Judicial College Guidelines (JCG) to assist in valuing general damages. This document lists categories of certain injuries and pairs them with compensation guideline brackets.
Our table shows some suggestive figures that do not guarantee compensation for an eyelash extension allergy claim. Please note that the highest valued entry is not from the JCG.

An eyelash extension allergy claim payout can also include special damages, which is the head of loss that can award compensation for the financial effect of the harm you suffered. This compensation can consider any relevant, provable out-of-pocket expenses, such as:
In order to claim compensation for financial losses, you will need evidence to prove each incurred expense. This typically includes bank statements, payslips, copies of any receipts, or invoices for associated expenses.
Reach out today for more information about special damages and how a compensation payout could help you.
4.8You will generally have 3 years from the date of the incident to claim compensation for an allergic reaction to eyelash extensions. This limitation period is established under the Limitation Act 1980, which sets a time limit on when compensation claims may be brought rather than when cases should be resolved.
With this said, there are 2 exceptions to the 3-year time limit for minors and mentally incapacitated adults, as neither type of claimant is able to seek compensation independently.
To learn more about these exceptions and how time limits might apply to your claim, you can check our limitation period guide or get in touch with our advisors today.
You can make a claim for an allergic reaction to eyelash extensions on a No Win No Fee basis if it can be shown that the harm you suffered resulted from a third party’s negligent actions. Here at Accident Claims, our expert solicitors work on a No Win No Fee basis through the use of a contract called a Conditional Fee Agreement.
You might not have heard of a CFA previously, but it simply means that you wouldn’t need to pay anything upfront in service fees for a solicitor to start working on your case. Moreover, you wouldn’t incur any ongoing payments for these solicitor service fees, nor have to pay any if your claim were to fail.
If your claim were successful, then your solicitor would take a legally capped percentage of your compensation. This is called a success fee, and the percentage is limited in line with legislation to ensure claimants receive the majority of their compensation at the end of their claim.
Besides the advantages of claiming under a CFA, working with one of our solicitors can provide the following benefits:
Claiming with one of our highly trained, dedicated solicitors can give you the support network you deserve when seeking compensation in your eyelash extension allergy claim.
