Yolanda McNair of Philadelphia filed suit in the Philadelphia County Court of Common Pleas on Sept. 27 versus BeeYouHair, LLC, also of Philadelphia.

According to the lawsuit, on April 15, while receiving services at the defendant’s premises, McNair says she suffered severe and painful chemical burns on her head, face and neck from chemical hair coloring and/or related products provided by defendant that was negligently and carelessly applied and/or removed and/or partially removed, causing serious and permanent personal injuries, including serious impairment of bodily function and serious disfigurement.
