We live in Chula Vista CA,
My Wife visited a nail salon nearby to get her eyebrows waxed. It it felt as she had been burnt but the pain took a couple of hours to come in. Soon the area affected blistered and the pain become very pronounced. We revisited the salon, and the staff seemed apologetic. The pain by that point had subsided due to some home remedies she had used the night before, but the skin was clearly blistered. They refunded the money, but now a week later the blister and pain has gone away but there is a sizable scar on her forehead in the same shape as the blister.
We took pictures of her forehead the night this occured. She has an appointment with her doctor in a few days. From here on, we are starting to take pictures every day to ensure we have the scar healing process archived. If the doctor indicates that the scar will remain for an extended period of time, would we be able to take the salon to small claims court for damages? My wife is clearly distraught the scar is very pronounced in a very visible part of her face.
This transaction was cash. Without a lack of a receipt, would it still be possible to file this? When we visited the shop the next day they also took pictures of the scar and four workers took a look at her face. Beyond getting a letter from her doctor is there anything else we might need if we decide to pursue this further?
Thank you in advance,
Jesus F.
