Hair Salon and Barber Shop Slip Fall Accidents Cause Serious Injuries
Barber shops and hair salons have frequent slips and falls from the customers. That is because the hair salon has debris and garbage on the floor, as does the barber shop. During the day, the onslaught of many customers makes the floor dirty. The owners, operators and managers of the salon or barber shop are fully responsible to keep the areas around the chairs, entryway, restroom areas, hair cutting stations and near the sinks as clean as a whistle. But this is not always the case, when the shops become super busy during the day.
Why Are Hair Salon Floors So Dirty?
Hair salons have many chemicals, shampoos and conditioners and water uses to accommodate the needs of their customers on a daily basis. This means that the hair salon flooring will take a beating, with all those suds, residue, water spilling and foot traffic sloshing this soup of soap all around the floor tiles during the day. The people who work at a hair salon need to mop, sweep, clean, tidy and wash the flooring several times a day, but this almost never happens.
The safety of the customers needs to be of paramount importance to the staff at a hair salon. But if a customer falls on a dirty hair salon flooring, who is responsible for cleaning up the flooring? The staff needs to be trained at a hair salon to keep the flooring clean no matter what, to prevent customers slips, falls and injuries while they are at the hair salon for hair cutting services from the salon.

What Are the Dangers of Hair Salons for Slipping and Falling?
The dangers of falling at a hair salon or barber shop, are that the flooring will be super slippery, and you will have a more debilitating injury than falling outside. If you fall inside of a hair salon or barber shop, there will be more serious injuries from falling down on a slippery, wet, chemical-laden or shampoo and conditioner frothing flooring.
Your injuries will be worse than ever, as you will slip completely and your feet will sail out from under you when falling on gels, hair spray, conditioners and shampoos at the hair salon and barber shop. These injuries may need further surgical procedures to repair, or may require you to stay off of work many months losing valuable wages, while you recover from your personal injuries.
