Plot Synopsis

In this reality series, Tabatha Coffey, who has devoted her entire professional life to achieving excellence in hair design and education, brings her years of hands-on experience to help transform struggling businesses. In the first three seasons, this series, known as TABATHA'S SALON TAKEOVER, followed the charismatic former SHEAR GENIUS contestant and Australian native as she visited struggling salons in the Los Angeles and New York areas and literally took over the establishments to whip them into shape. Starting with Season 4, Coffey transformed salons and other businesses, including spas, restaurants, and nightclubs. With just a week to work her magic, can she put these businesses back on their feet or is it time for the shops to put up the closed sign for good?
