You might be able to sue the salon for one of several torts. You may have case for assault, or negligence. You might even have asuit agisnt the stylist for malpractice. Comsetologists and barbers are licensed, and thus may be sued for malpractice in some situations. To start, you shoudl let the salon know of you injuries and damges, so they can make record of the incident. sAve your receipt(s) from tha tvisit, as you may need tha tlater. Get aletter from you doctors(s) describing the reason for yrou treatement. You may need this to verify that reason you missed work. If you still have the infections, have someone take pictures. If any of this sounds confusing, you should consult directly with a personal injury lawyer in your area. Many offer a free or low cost initial consultation. Take all you docuemnts to them and be availaibe for their follow-up questions.
Good luck
