Yes, it's sad, I wish there's a way to bring hair back.

Ok this makes NO sense. If you leave on the color it will burn so why not use cold water?!?!?!? Um duh!!! both the owner and customer was just plain stupid!!

so true. when I first read this story on another site, I thought there was no water at all. the fact that there was cold water available makes both the customer and salon owner very dumb for not using it. as someone who has had some unfortunate run ins w/ chemical hair processes like relaxers, I would have stuck my head in the dang toilet tank to rinse the chemicals out of my hair! stuff like that can permanently damage your scalp
