Woman Experienced a Stroke after Visiting the Salon

"Washing hair in beauty parlor chair"

The position of the neck in beauty parlor chairs is often wrong and can cause health damage.

(Mirror Daily, United States) – Beauty has a price, and sometimes it turns out it is rather steep. From all the health hazards in the world, a woman experienced a stroke after visiting the salon to get her hair washed and styled.

Elizabeth Smith decided to treat herself to a salon visit two years ago. But she never realized for a second that her little trip to a San Diego beauty parlor will leave her terrified and awaiting the worse for the rest of her life.

Two weeks after Smith got her hair done, she started experiencing strange symptoms. The worse of all was when her head ached so hard that she became nauseous. The 48 years old woman was incapable of moving her legs, and the pounding noise in her head was only growing bigger.

It was only after she got rushed to the hospital that the woman was informed that she suffered a stroke. On one hand she was lucky because strokes are often fatal, or they can cause permanent damage more severe than what Smith is experiencing at the present moment.

After being admitted and treated, the doctors started looking at her history, trying to figure out what triggered the blood clot to form. It was only after she mentioned her visit to the San Diego salon that the doctors figured out what happened to her.

The “Beauty Parlor Syndrome” as they call it is a real disorder. The primary cause is the chair that hair stylists use to wash their clients’ hair. Because of the inclined angle of the special chair designed for hair washing, some customers who are shorter in stature or who suffer from arthritis can temporarily block their blood flow to the brain when standing in the awkward position.

When Smith’s neck was hyperextended by the salon worker that washed her hair, one of her vertebras sliced through her artery. This led to the formation of a clot that during the two weeks in which Smith was feeling fine traveled to her brain. When it got there, it triggered the stroke that almost ended her life.

Because the 48 years old woman experienced a stroke after visiting the salon, she is now suing the San Diego establishment. She is accusing them of negligence and asking the owner to cover her $250,000 medical bills.

Two years after the terrible incident occurred, Smith is still experiencing problems with her vision, strength and balance. The worst part is that the clot is still in her brain, and it could end her life any day.

Woman Had a Stroke after Going to a Hair Salon

"Salon shampoo chair"

The shampoo chair forces the neck to be hyperextended which could lead to a formation of a clot.

(Mirror Daily, United States) – Next time you say beauty doesn’t take a toll remember that a woman had a stroke after going to a hair salon. The 48 years old San Diego resident experienced the stroke almost two weeks after having her hair done. The doctors were the ones who pointed out the reason behind her sudden health decay.

Everything started with a routine salon visit for Elizabeth Smith. The 48-year-old just wanted to relax and get her hair some, but the unsuspecting woman had a stroke after going to a hair salon in 4S Ranch.

Smith claims that she only spent roughly 10 minutes in the special shampoo chair that ultimately caused her the life-altering stroke.

The woman felt fine eight days after paying the salon a visit. Her first symptoms involved weakness on the left side of her body and a number of other strange symptoms that, according to her, disappeared quickly.

Another week past and one day she started to feel her head hot and vomit. The mother of two felt like she couldn’t stand on her own two feet. She was so weak that she could barely move her hands.

But Smith was ultimately lucky. The massive stroke didn’t claim her life, yet. She now has to live with a cloth of blood in her brain that could kill her anytime if it becomes dislodged.

The doctors looked through her medical history in great detail in order to trace the factor that triggered the stroke. It was not until they heard about her salon visit that they put two and two together and realized that the shampoo chair is the culprit.

The “Beauty Parlor Stroke Syndrome” is a real condition caused by the inclination of the shampoo chair. When Smith had her hair washed by the salon’s employees a vertebra sliced an artery. This led to a clot formation. The blood clot later traveled to her brain where it caused her massive stroke.

While it may be that the salon’s employees were not aware of the dangers of the chair, Smith is suing the Blowbunny Salon.

Smith didn’t just experience a life-threatening condition, but now she is stuck with medical bills that amount to $250,000 and a constant fear that any moment could be her last seeing as the clot is still in her brain.

The 48-years-old mother of two is hoping that her case will raise awareness of the dangers of shampoo chairs.

The doctors recommend women that suffer from arthritis to steer clear of the special chairs and wash their hair while facing down.

A woman had a stroke after going to a hair salon, which means that the price of beauty is becoming much too steep.
