Description
Page, J. The plaintiff's declaration alleged that the defendant, on March 21, 1935, owned, operated and maintained a beauty
parlor in Manchester known as "Leavitt's Beauty Salon"; that on that day the plaintiff went to the salon and asked for and
received a treatment for her hair known as permanent waving; that the defendant, through its agents and servants, gave the
treatment in such a negligent manner that the plaintiff's hair was burned and fell off; that in consequence she has suffered
great mental anguish and deep mortification because of her disfigurement. The evidence tended to prove, besides the consequences
alleged, that when the plaintiff's hair came out again the singeing resulted in its becoming coarse and grey. The evidence failed to prove the allegation that the salon was operated by the defendant or that her damages resulted from
the negligence of any person who was in fact the defendant's servant. It is not disputed that the defendant conducted a department
store, that it leased a portion of its premises to one Chierney for his use as a beauty parlor, that the defendant had no
actual control over the salon or its operations, that Chierney had full ownership and control of it, that he had sole authority
over its instrumentalities and that all of the employees in the salon were his servants and subject to no control by the defendant.
