Tabatha’s Salon Takeover Seas...

Posted at 4:12 AM • No Comments

Tabatha’s Salon Takeover Season 3 starts December 6th at 9pm CST. The famous reality television series on BravoTV will provide every reason for hairstylists to get excited.

After two successful seasons, Tabatha Coffey will again be seen using her hairdressing and business expertise and edgy style to assist salons in danger of closing.

Here’s what Bravo has to say about Season 3

In Season 3, Coffey hits the road and visits struggling salons in California, Massachusetts, and Texas. For one week, she confiscates the keys to the establishments and takes over as boss, bringing her unapologetic, brutally honest approach to the salon owners and stylists who are in dire need of her skilled business direction.

This season, no task is too big for Tabatha. Whether it’s moving into a salon owner’s house for the night to stage a family intervention, tackling five slacking owners in one salon, turning around a downtrodden children’s salon with stylists who don’t like kids or even doing hair, renovating a gay salon with questionable taste, or trekking a salon’s staff to the middle of the Mohave Desert to learn to survive as a team –- Tabatha gives these struggling salons the major push they need to get back on track.

It will be exciting to see how Tabatha handles different salon owners this time. She’s not someone to be messed around with.

Tabatha’s Salon Takeover Season 3 Premiere begins on December 6 at 9pm CST. For the latest information about season 3, visit bravotv.com/tabathas-salon-takeover

No eliminations on Episode 8 of She...

Posted at 6:24 AM • No Comments

Shear Genius Season 3 has already been exciting so far. The judges made Bravo’s reality show even more exciting this week by not sending anyone home this time around.

There are four stylists left now, Brig, Matthew, Janine and Jon. All of them were safe after Episode 8 of Shear Genius Season 3.

When these remaining stylists arrived in the salon, they learned that other competitors must select a tool, a style and an inspiration for them to use on their model. This was their task for the Shortcut Challenge, which was judged by celebrity stylist Mark Townsend.

For the Elimination Challenge, the stylists are charged with updating hairstyles from classic Hollywood movies for an editorial-style photo shoot. This challenge was judged by Allure’s Editor in Chief Linda Wells.

After judging everyone’s styles, Matthew was declared as the winner. The Judges said that Matthew was able to successfully modernize a very old-fashioned look, while keeping it just as sexy.

During Episode 8 of Shear Genius 3, Brig and Jon were the bottom two in the Elimination Challenge. Ideally, one of them had to be eliminated from the show. However, both of them managed to hold their places as no eliminations were made.

The judges didn’t send anyone home this time around, but should they have? You be the judge! Give your views about the judges decision here: www.bravotv.com/shear-genius

Shear Genius Season 3 loses its you...

Posted at 4:01 AM • No Comments

Bravo’s creative hair-styling competition series Shear Genius saw the elimination of another stylist in Episode 5. Amy Michleb from Toronto, Canada was eased off as she could not impress the judges during the elimination challenge.

Amy is a young and dynamic stylist who is actively involved in the hair industry. She was the youngest stylist on Shear Genius season 3 which has gone international for the first time. Her elimination means that the competition is over for the youngest competitor.

The elimination challenge on Episode 5 of Shear Genius 3 was that the women will be styled in 1940’s hairstyles of finger waves and pin curls. The guest judge was Robert Vetica, a Hollywood hairstylist.

The stylists were given a challenge in which their models had husbands who were all currently serving in the military overseas. Their hair had to be given a 1940s style so that the women looked beautiful when they filmed messages to their men.

Amy, April and Janine found themselves among the bottom three as judges gave their verdict. Amy struggled because her hairstyle was turning 1930’s depression era. The judges came down on Amy, telling her that it wasn’t a style, it was a set, and that led to her elimination from Shear Genius season 3.

Amy’s husband – Woody Michleb, an award winning stylist himself was featured on ScissorBoy’s cosmetology program. In that episode, he demonstrated new hairstyling trends for Fall/Winter 2009.

After Amy’s elimination from Shear Genius 3, there are seven stylists who will now compete for the ultimate prize of $100,000 and prove they are the best of the bunch.

Refuge Salon to get business lesson...

Posted at 9:18 AM • No Comments

Tabatha’s Salon Takeover visits Refuge Salon: Los Angeles, California this week for BravoTV’s salon reality show. The episode will be telecasted on December 15, 2009. This episode will show Tabatha teaching an unprofessional salon owner how to manage her business.

The second season of Tabatha’s Salon Takeover has seen some unusual episodes where Tabatha Coffey had to deal with different problems. Even though her aim was to help struggling salons but we have seen that most often the salons she visited were facing crisis due to their owners. Some owners were crazy while some owners were paranoid about their employees and some owners preferred shopping than managing their salons.

Tabatha has her hands full once again, this time with Miriam Jones, who opened a chic neighborhood salon in Los Angeles mainly because she was unhappy with her previous job. Unfortunately, Jones has no idea how to work the books or how to take charge of her stylists, who constantly break the rules. She is the most unprofessional of them all due to her incessant gossiping about her staff and “too cool” attitude.

Refuge Salon is located in Los Angeles, one of the biggest fashion and style cities in the world. It has set the standard for the industry with the newest and coolest products, equipment and highly unique, trained artists. Miriam Jones’s salon provides services for the latest advancements in color and chemical services or just the traditional old school barbershop cuts.

The owner of Refuge Salon shows a woeful lack of professionalism during Tabatha’s Salon Takeover. I wish she would have seen this awesome video from ScissorBoy regarding business building for salons.

This video discusses about every possible problem a salon owner may face and also provides easy solutions for such problems. I think Miriam Jones would not have required the help of Tabatha Coffey to save her sinking salon if she had seen this video earlier.

To save Refuge Salon, Tabatha will have to teach the employees a thing or two about customer service and force the owner to step up and be a leader. It will be interesting to see this episode of Tabatha’s Salon Takeover to see how Tabatha is able to deal with a backstabbing owner and lazy stylists.

Tabatha’s Salon Takeover at B...

Posted at 10:52 AM • No Comments

Brownes and Co. Miami, Fla is the venue for this week’s episode of Tabatha’s Salon Takeover. The salon reality show of BravoTV which debuted last year has already covered various salons across the United States. Tabatha and her crew will visit Brownes and Co. this week to boost the morale of the salon employees.

Brownes and Co. was started by London trained colorist Nikki Mallon and her partner Gary Feinberg in 1995. It offers services for Salon, Spa, and Yoga and also has an online store that sells various cosmetic products.

A decade ago, Brownes and Co. was the hottest salon on Lincoln Road in South Beach but the oppressive behavior of the salon owners has disturbed the atmosphere of the salon. The staff is low on morale as they are frustrated with the unusual behavior of their experienced salon owners. As a result, all employees treat their customers in a very unfriendly manner which has eventually driven away customers.

Tomorrow’s episode of Tabatha’s Salon Takeover on BravoTV will show how Tabatha Coffey deals with the negative attitude of Nikki Mallon who is an imperious diva supervising her staff via remote camera. She has grown frustrated with her staff in recent years and runs her salon remotely, watching their every move from home on surveillance cameras. On the rare occasions when she is in the salon, her staff is terrified of her wrath. The oppressive atmosphere has killed staff morale and driven away customers.

I believe most salons fail to do good business due to poor attitude of owners and not because of their staff. Brownes and Co. is a perfect example of a salon which has paranoid owners. Even last week’s episode of Tabatha’s Salon Takeover showed how the owner of Plush Salon, Chatsworth was more interested in spending money than in saving her salon. If the owners are going to act in such an irresponsible manner, how can any salon do good business!

It will be definitely worth tuning into BravoTV tomorrow at 10 PM to see how Tabatha convinces Nikki Mallon to change her negative attitude. Nikki is a seasoned professional and changing her will be one of Tabatha’s greatest challenges. If Mallon doesn’t start to respect and encourage her staff, Brownes and Co. may not survive.

Don’t forget to watch tomorrow’s episode of Tabatha’s Salon Takeover at Brownes and Co. Miami, Fla. It will be interesting to see whether Tabatha is able to turn the fortunes for Nikki Mallon.
