Woman suing salon ‘should not have been given treatment’

THE manager of a hair salon being sued by a client whose hair fell out after a treatment told the High Court yesterday she should not have been given the treatment.

Aileen Dunleavy, a 40-year-old painter from Salthill, Galway, has brought an action for damages against Hair Republic, Galway, following a colouring treatment she received at the salon in March 2007.

Ms Dunleavy claims her hair was damaged and subsequently fell out after the treatment.
