Road, Camp Hill, Pennsylvania and requested a permanent wave,
which a beautician employed by the Defendant agreed to perform.
4. At all times material and relevant to this litigation
the aforesaid beautician, whose name is unknown to Plaintiff, was
acting in her capacity as an employee and/or agent of the
Defendant and was engaged in said Defendant's business and was
within the scope of her employment with Defendant.
5. During the course of providing the permanent wave to
Plaintiff's hair, a plastic curling roller flipped out of the
hands of the aforesaid beautician and struck Plaintiff in the
right eye, causing Plaintiff immediate and severe pain, blurred
vision and severe physical injury to her right eye.
6. Plaintiff's injuries and the damages hereinafter related
are the direct result of the careless, reckless, negligent and
willful manner in which the aforesaid beautician performed the
permanent wave upon Plaintiff's hair as follows:
(a) failure to maintain adequate control over the plastic
curling roller;
(b) failure to maintain an adequate grip upon the plastic
curling roller;
(c) failure to properly shield and protect the Plaintiff's
eyes from a known and obvious hazard;
2

7. The Defendant is liable to Plaintiff under the theory of
respondeat superior for the aforesaid beautician's negligence, as
set forth herein above.
B. The Defendant was negligent and reckless by knowingly
and intentionally failing to properly select, train and supervise

9. As a direct and proximate result of being struck by the
aforesaid plastic curling roller, the Plaintiff has suffered
injury to her right eye, and to her vision in that eye, which is
serious and permanent.
10. As a result of the aforesaid injury to her right eye,
and to the vision in that eye, the Plaintiff has undergone, and
in the future will undergo, great mental and physical pain and
suffering, and has been, and in the future will be, hindered in
the pursuit of her daily activities, and claim is made therefore.
3
11. As a further result of the aforesaid injury to her right
eye, and its vision, the Plaintiff has in the past, and may incur
in the future, reasonable and necessary medical and
rehabilitative costs and expenses for treatment of her aforesaid
injury.
12. As a further result of the aforesaid injury to her right
eye, and its vision, the Plaintiff has suffered permanent
diminution of her ability to enjoy life and life's pleasures.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff demands judgment against Defendant, in
an amount in excess of Thirty Thousand ($30,000.00) Dollars,
exclusive of interest and costs, in excess of any jurisdictional
amount requiring compulsory arbitration.
Respectfully submitted,
