    I love this show. I never miss it. I wish more salons would adhere to thie standards that Tabatha is trying to instill to these lackluster salons.

    She's tough, she's direct and she's fabulously entertaining.

    Wonderful show. We need more Tabathas in this world. She takes salons by the scruff of their necks and gives them a good hard shake. WOW.

    A defining moment in our time. At last there is someone who acts like she knows what she is talking about and then proves it. To bad we don;t have polititions as intuitive and knowlegeble as Tabitha.

    GREAT SHOW! I have been in the hairdresing business since 1977. I love the business and the people- my clients are the best! I trained with the best and have worked in quality salons. Tabitha turns salons around by using gut wrenching and passionate honesty, strong career motivation and good taste. LOVE this show! Being a great hairstylist is a fun and rewarding job.

Being a great hairstylist is a fun and rewarding job. To be working in a salon where everyone is feeling the same positive energy is pure heaven. Can you believe I would forget it was pay day? That speaks volumes for loving what I was doing My feeling the constant reward of having given the client just what they wanted and for them to leave the salon feeling comfortable in an attractive look that totally suited them was reward for me.… Expand

    An outstanding show. Coffee is neither timid nor precocious and I don't feel like she ever says anything simply for the sake of ratings. Everything she says has a purpose and is done with the sole intention of improving the business.

    I have an issue with Tabatha's language. She is trying to help people become successful and professional with their businesses, but isn't her business critiquing these salons? I do not believe it is necessary to use foul language when she is judging the stylists and owners on the same behavior. Great show, though.. I agree with her tactics, but please, Tabatha, be professional I have an issue with Tabatha's language.

    Watching "Tabatha's Salon Takeover," which is unrated, you can't help but wonder if there shouldn't be a "whip it" show for "whip it" shows--in which an expert would review the tapes and offer advice on how to turn a bad situation around. They could start with this one.

    In the world of reality shows, this well-produced series is better than most. Betwixt and between all the emotional upheavals and drama, Coffey, only slightly witchy, dishes out sound advice.
