The hair-do from hell
By Elizabeth Hopkirk, Evening Standard
She had hoped to look like Beyonce Knowles.

But what should have been a relaxing trip to the hairdresser turned into a nightmare for 22-year-old Ebony Glanville.

The student suffered what appeared to be an allergic reaction to hair dye used during her trip to the salon. Her scalp, face and eyes swelled severely within a few hours of the treatment.

Today, almost two weeks later, Ms Glanville is still taking steroid medication. She now plans to sue the salon she claims is responsible.

She said: "I left the salon at 8pm on the Friday and the next day my scalp started itching and I saw blood and dye on my headscarf.

"I went to hospital and they gave me some tablets, but when I woke up on Monday the top of my head was three times bigger than normal and my eyes were swollen as well.

"I looked like Frankenstein's monster. I could hardly see anything and I was really scared because I truthfully thought I was going to stay like that. I thought I was going to go blind.

"I wanted to look like Beyonce not ET." She added: "My mum calls me the Elephant Man. I have hardly spoken to anyone because I could see from the corner of my eye that people were giving me funny looks."

Miss Glanville paid £140 to have her hair dyed and micro-weave hair extensions added at Doreen Hair Fashions in Finsbury Park. She added a ?5 tip.

The owner of the salon is out of the country but a member of staff claimed Miss Glanville must have been allergic to the black dye used.

Miss Glanville, who lives in Stonebridge and is studying counselling, said she was still feeling the after-effects. "I am on crutches because I get weak. The dye is still in my system. My eyes are jet black. It looks like someone's punched me in the eye.

"When you go to a salon you put your trust in them. I have spoken to a solicitor and they are going to try to sort it out. I want an apology and compensation."

A spokesman for Accidents Direct, the compensation claims company contacted by Miss Glanville, said: "She definitely has a case."

The Doreen salon website says: "We do our upmost (sic) best to make you feel beautiful ... all of our customers leave with beautiful hair and most of all, a smile on their faces."

I'm trying not to laugh.

Wow.
Thought that was a dude at first. We gotta be careful with the chemicals, people...

okay, I just had lunch...

Yeah, but come on - you JUST CANT SUE everytime bad shit happens to you. In fact, GO GET that damn bumper sticker: SHIT HAPPENS. She didn't know she was allergic to the shit, so how the HELL could the salon know?

I hate the knee jerk reaction to sue sue sue everytime bad shit happens. Sometimes, it just HAPPENS. She should sue her mom for calling her Elephant Man, that's who the ho should sue.

just like when people who smoke sue the tobacco company's.....just plain stupid.

I agree. I hate when people choose to do things to themselves, and when it doesn't turn out the way they want, they want to sue....it's soo stupid. Plus, she reminds me more of Sloth from "The Goonies" than the Elephant Man. "HEEEY, YOOOU GUYS!!!!" Sorry, but I couldn't resist.

dang, she went in wanting to look like beyonce and walked out looking like jay z.

That's because the corner of her eye is funny looking.

Well, to play devil's advocate if you smoke you probably know that there's a good chance that you could get cancer.

I doubt anyone who dye's their hair thinks, "there's a good chance my head may expand to three times it's normal size because of this..."

Sue the salon, I don't know. But if the manufacturer of the hair dye knows that a certain percentage of people may be injured by this product....

nah thats bullshit...like the salon knew her head was gonna swell up...that's what that chicka-dee gets...that shit is comedy.....quasimodo got a stunt double....heeee heeee.....ooooohhhhh ah uh!!!! the Beyonce bootleg has arrived LOL....

It's like when you eat a candy bar it has a warning for allergic reactions due to this product being manufactured in a plant that also handles nuts,milk,and soy products.....maybe their should be one on beauty products not everyone reacts the same to different chemicals....WARNING!!!!! this product has been known to have adverse reactions in certain chickenheads....cluck cluck....LOL

ya'll are ruthless

but I don't think you expect your face to look like the elephant man just getting your hair dyed.

What warning do you get when you go to get your hair done.....none.

YOU BEAT ME TO IT!

I was just about to post this to the boards, too.

otan said:

poor thing

yes its the fault of the stylist
if you get your hair dyed by a professional they are supposed to test for allergys no less than 24 hours before

I'm sorry. Maybe I should've read the tread good, but I still meant what I said. But I think I'll choose the weed.

Thanks, I'm never going to dye my hair again.

co-sign 'I'll settle for the weed too....." puff puff pass.....
