Tabatha's Salon Takeover

Tabatha revisits some of her favorite and not-so-favorite salons from seasons one and two. Have they survived and thrived, or are they still struggling or, even worse, closed?

Nik Nejad is an experienced stylist but a naive business owner. When he bought Concerto eighteen months ago, the salon had a strong reputation and a good location, but now he has run it into the ground.

Ever since her parents passed away, Joy Brandell has lost all the passion and drive for her once popular children's salon. To make matters worse, Joy expanded to do adult clients in the same space but no one is showing up, and the salon has become dirty and rundown. Joy admits that she doesn't even know if she wants to save her salon, creating a huge challenge for Tabatha.

Shannon and Frank Peters are newlyweds and new business partners in the multi-cultural salon they opened together. But their salon is already struggling and their marriage is cracking under the stress of trying to save it. Tabatha has to fix an out-of-control staff and a marriage on the brink, and turn this low-rent beauty shop into a high-end salon.

After a recent staff mutiny, owner Debbie Farrell is taking out all her anger on her remaining staff as she panics about the bottom line. Tabatha quickly realizes that she has her work cut out for her as she faces off against Debbie's resistance to change.

Alex Iacobacci has ignored his responsibilities and let his stylists run wild in his rundown Newbury Street salon. Tabatha has to confront an insubordinate staff and a push-over owner who thinks the salon should run itself.

Dougie Freeman relies on his crazy shtick to drum up business during the short tourist season in this gay resort destination. Pushing 60 and working 18 hour days, 7 days a week, Dougie turns to Tabatha to help him make his salon profitable so he can step away from the chair to enjoy life.

Tabatha faces her toughest challenge yet: five owners in one salon! These five feuding owners make for one big problem in this upscale Texas location. Their selfish attitudes and bad customer service are driving away high-end clientele, and now the salon is behind in rent and on the verge of closing its doors.

Tim and Alexis Byk took over Christopher Hill salon eighteen months ago with no prior salon experience. They wrongly assumed that their MBAs and corporate backgrounds would be enough to run the struggling business. Tabatha schools these elitist owners in all things hair, and empowers the beaten down staff.

Cindy and Marjorie Phun opened up Mia Bella salon four years ago as a way to support themselves and their younger sisters, Karen and Janet. But Karen and Janet take the salon for granted, which sends Cindy over the edge in front of clients. Tabatha moves in with the Phun sisters for the night to stage a family intervention in order to save the salon and their relationships.
