A customer who suffered a devastating stroke as a result of having his hair washed at a salon has won £90,000 in compensation. Mr Tyler suffered a near fatal blood clot when his head was bent backwards over the basin. This is the latest incident of so called beauty-parlour syndrome.

Experts believe that as the neck extends, the artery can over-extend and become torn, either blocking it completely or causing a clot which restricts blood supply to the brain.

Mr Tyler began suffering headaches and collapsed during a business meeting two days after visiting the Headmasters salon in Brighton in 2011.

Mr Tyler was kept in hospital for 3 months as a result of the stroke and only began to walk after physiotherapy.
