Episode 19 of season 16 of Judge Mathis features a case involving a woman, who is suing her hair stylist. According to the plaintiff, the hair stylist did a botched job, which led to her experiencing severe hair loss. She claims that because of the hair stylist's negligence, she has had to spend thousands of dollars on wigs and treatments to cover up the damage.
The defendant, on the other hand, argues that the plaintiff came to her with severely damaged hair, which she could not have fixed overnight. She claims that she advised the plaintiff to go to a dermatologist before undergoing any hair treatments, but the plaintiff disregarded her advice. Moreover, the defendant claims that her salon has an excellent reputation, and this is the first time such a complaint has been lodged against her.
As the trial progresses, Judge Mathis listens intently to both parties and asks probing questions to get to the bottom of the issue.
