Legal Question in Business Law in Florida

Business negligence, leading to personal injury

If a beauty salon deliberately applies a chemical for black women to a white woman's hair, that burns the scalp, and causes that womans hair to fall out in patches is that considered business negligence, and is there grounds for a lawsuit even if the person's hair does eventually grow back? If so, why is it so hard to find legal representation, and do you have any suggestions on how to obtain an attorney on this matter? Everyone says that if it isn't permanent injury, that they don't want to handle it. Yet, my hair was midway my back, and now I have to keep getting it cut to my ears. Not to mention, I still have bald spots that doesn't appear to be growing in. The salon made me leave with my hair melting off of my head, and a huge spot of a protein pack in the back of my hair, and refused to touch it any further.
