Injured at a Salon - Now what should I do?

On 9/22/06 at around 7:00 PM, I went in to the Regis Salon in the Paul Bunyan Mall located in Bemidji, Minnesota. My stylist - Eve - helped me decide on a hair style and took me back to her chair. She then proceeded to use a hair clipper to trim up my hair. Next, she used a scissors to take the requested 1/2" off the top. She brought in a cordless electric trimmer to do the detailing around my ears and neck, and as she trimmed around each ear, it felt to me like she was slicing my skin with a blade. Finally, she took what I thought to be mousse and shaped my hear into a mo hawk. This was not at all what I had asked her to do. I later also discovered that she had taken quite a bit more off the top than I had asked her to do, and had in fact sliced the skin behind my ears with the cordless electric trimmer. a customer service representative contacted me from Regis Corp and looked over my photos from the incident and was willing to offer me a $50 gift card as compensation. I think not!

You can always sue for negligence---but seriously, the amount of money you would recover would not even be worth the fight. Take the $50 and never go back again.
