You may have a case, if the hair damage caused psychological trauma, or was the result of, say, a racist or homophobic attack.
If the hair damage was the only injury, if it was permanent, then maybe yes also.

I would think the fact that hair regenerates itself would make the damages too low to justify a suit. So a court might order your hairdresser to pay you like, 50 bucks or something, since your hairr problem will work itself out soon enough.

Yes. Anything from common assault to GBH, depending on the severity.
Y'know, whether it's just a lock cut off or if the scalp's damaged and the hair won't grow again.

Well, if someone lit your hair on fire, and it burned off (but in theory did not hurt you scalp) wouldn't you feel wronged?
It could be construed as an injury. You just have to convince a jury of your peers it is.

No loop holes.

An twist of destiny could be an analogous way.

Undoubtedly. If your hair is damaged as a result of the unreasonable failure of someone else you could sue for damages.

You can sue somebody for just about anything you want to. Proving your case will be another thing. If it's something you can fix with a comb or a brush, I wouldn't waste my time or money.

Yes if it was say hacked off or shaved in an act of violence.
That is still classed as ABH
