Tabatha, I think you are the bomb.

Hi Tabatha! I work in a salon that has amazing potential but just as many problems. It is owned by 4 men this is their second salon, the first is amazing and the most successful well known salon in our area. Opening the second drama! First one of the owners was married to a colorist in the first children and all. Started sleeping with on of the girls in salon 2 left wife caused major problems between 2 salons. He thinks he is living in a video and brings it to all of us partying , lying, driving a rented Bentley while we had our water machine repoed! he has cheated on the girl so many times gets caught it all unfolds in the salon! We r dragged into this mess constantly and clients know and we r losing them! He has let the place go to crap and we r the most expensive salon in our area (jersey).We just got about 10 new employees he hired from a haircuttery type place and that’s a challenge! The girls r great but how do we make our clients believe we r this high end salon living up to salon 1 reputation when we r nothing of their caliber. Our manager is about 102 and constantly drunk! It drives us all crazy and we get nothing accomplished. So much more.. Please help us!!!

I Love The Site, Great Post!

Tabitha I love you you are a great busines person BrVO TO YOU

Tabatha,
Howdy-mate....I am not a hair dresser, actually own a Civil Engineering Firm in Austin, Texas...yeehaaw! I wish I had someone show me the ropes when I first started the Firm, what a great concept you have. Well, it's not exactly the same as starting a biz from the beginning, but sort of, errr just a little, if you watch it backwards, ya?? Ha ha ha,,, ha ha,,, ha,,, h.....sigh. Um, ya,,,,,,,whatever the case, great idea, and trying to help people keep jobs in this economy is honorable of you!! Anyhow, just wanted to say your show is AWE-SOME! My wife says I am a Bravo watchin fool, but your show is, by far, the best.....keep it up now, ya hear............

Hello Tabatha! I love your show! As a stylist of 13 years I know how important it is to have the passion for hair when you are in this field. Hair is my passion and I am currently employed in a small hair salon in Binghamton, NY; Hair-Ez Salon. I am the only stylist employed, and we have 1 booth renter as well(although we are set up for 4 stylists). I love this salon and work very hard to keep it clean and beautiful. My boss and I get along beautifully which makes it a very comfortable work atmosphere. Our problem is that we just do not have a full schedule every day and not enough capital to invest in advertising. I would love to have the opportunity to meet you and learn some valuable tips from you if that is possible. This industry is ever changing and I am ready and willing to learn, and you are the best at what you do, which is why you (and your show) are so successful. Any advice? Thanks!

Hi Tabetha
I just wanted to let you know how much I love your show. I love how much Pride you take in your job and show other people how they should as well. I am curious though for the salons that do not follow through with their end after you have worked so hard do you send them the bill for everything. I sure would because you really did not have to choose them, however there are some of the salons that it looks like they are staying on the right track. Will you be doing a Where are they now episode?
I wish you the Best of Luck with this New Season and I hope there are Many more seasons in your Future, Beacause you are Great!!!

Being a hairdresser/manager/instructor in the beauty business going on 37 years, I was naturally drawn to your show. What I saw the first time, cracked me up. I am almost embarrassed to know that these people all went through beauty school. I think that is maybe where you should start Tabatha. I can tell by watching you, your ethics about cleanliness in the salon is very important as it should be in ALL salons. I also have a "thing" about cleaning at a salon. There is no excuse for how some of the stylists keep their station. Just because some of them rent their booths, does not mean they can keep it however they want. That is a reflection of the salon owner. One of my favorite lines when I was in the salon managing or teaching is "YOU ATTRACT WHAT YOU PROJECT." So, if you want to make the big bucks in hairstyling, you not only have to market the salon, you have to market yourself in the way you present your total image. The ultimate success is making your client happy enough to return to your salon and bring all her friends. Trust me, if she isn't happy, she's going to go home and call them all and tell them NOT to go there. Women have a way you know..Kudos Tabatha..Keep up the good work!!

Tabetha, we need help. I am writing you because the Salon I work in has been the top salon in our area for many years. Now it is a the bottom of the list. I am a Professional Educator and I travel teaching color and product knowledge, and see wonderful salons. The owner has let things go and the owners son has junked the salon from one end to the other. We have a great clientel, but we are losing them due to the salon being such a mess. I am considering leaving because of this. The doors are not opened till 11:00 or 12:00 everyday, the phone is not answered due to the owners son living in the salon. The salon is falling apart and is only about 7 years old. I want to see this salon on top once again. I left for awhile and returned, we are like family, we work well together, but I can only do so much myself. I really get upset when the State Board comes in and gives the salon a passing score! When a new client walks in the front door, the see a big mess, boy what a first impression, I am embarrased for new client and current clients to see this. My suggestions seem to go in one ear and out the other with no response. I am a Professional and want to work in a Professional Looking Salon, not a salvage shop!!!!!

Tabitha,
1st I would like to start by saying I was entranced by your skill and no nonsense attitude on Shear Genius and on your ow show Tabitha's Salon Take Over. Being a military spouse I am constantly on the move and finding a stylist who is of a high caliber as well as affordable has been quite a challenge. I was hoping you might have some advice on what to look for as well as a list of essential questions for me to ask to make a truly informed and succesful decision on a stylist in the future. Any help would be emensly apreciated.
Thank You

HELP! HELP! HELP! How do apply for your show? I watch your show all the time and I think you are the best and I know the perfect salon that can benefit from a Tabitha takeover, I've been going to this salon off and on for the past 3 years and its just in a total disarray that it's screaming for you to come in to help them. I know the owner of the shop personnally and I think it's a shame that her salon is the way it is because she is the nicest lady I have ever met. Her salon is in a need of a makeover so bad that when you go into the bathroom you are scared you are going to fall through the floor,cause there is a giant hole in the middle of the bathroom floor, she tries but times have been hard for her, she has stylist leaving out the door so much that everytime I go there it's always someone new there. Can you please find it in your heart to come to Chicago and do a makeover for the best lady I know it would mean so much to her and her clients and even the neighbohood cause she does so much for the kids by educating them so come on Tabitha give Chicago a makeover i promise this will be one for your record books. thanks so much Charlene.The name of the salon is Hair Icons.

Tabetha
I have watched several of your shows,kudos to you,I have been a Hairdresser for 30years,,,I have had five salons,two in Calif.and three in the mid-west...I can't belive how dirty both the salons and stylest are,,,,I wish I could join you on your travels,,,if you get to the D.C. area I would love to meet you....I became a hairdresser after being an aero-space testing engineer.....and I have learned that hairdressing is an engineering problem,,,I also was a Insurence sales man,and have learned communicating,with the client and finding out what they don't want is more important than what they do want.I took an unique approach, even before I touch a comb to the hair,I have client stand still and look at the body mechanics, and feel the shape of the head ,see which area has more hair and swirls,,,ect...also most hairdressers don't know how to sell,and make the client feel like there with a pro.I could go on but you already know how it works....I quit working due to an accident,but I love the business....thanks for hopefully reading my input...sincerly,Vincent D Jovino

just learning so much from your show tabatha. i get together with my girlfriend from hair dressing cert 3 and we watch , sometimes with our mouths agape! whenever an issue surfaces in our salon...i say "we need Tabatha" but im taking it in and trying to apply the high standards to my work and attitude i see you teach. true. really love the show. cheers..liz

Hey Tabetha,
I love what you do and i really need advice right now. I own small shop that I absolutely love and it's totally different than any other shop in our town, it's more upscale, but i can't seem to grab more attention to it without spending tons of money for advertisement and even that hasen't worked just b/c nobody is making money and us as stylist just got hit hard starting at the end of the summer with everybody being broke. We're not a high dollar salon we just give you the atmosphere for more relaxing enviroment. Any advice to keep us going I know we can make it and all of our clientel is by word of mouth but there is a salon on every corner of our town it's rediculous.

I didnt know where to post this so I am going to post it here and if someone can help me please do and fast!
I love the your show. I actually would love for the Tabitha and the show to take over my salon. The person that runs my salon does not know how to run a salon. she makes her clients wait for her all the time we have has several of her clients either go to another stylist or they leave and we never see them again. The salon is not set up like it should be we have products spread out through the salon and no one knows whats for sale and whats not for sale.
Please help! We are going to lose the salon if we don't do something soon!
Thank You for your time!
Tami

How in the world do you apply for this show? I've been searching for months ways to apply-how do they select salons for it? My salon is in complete disarray. The owners are wonderful, but they are stylists and are completely oblivious to the problems that are bringing down their business. The management is terrible-our manager is extremely moody, irritable, biased, judgmental and thinks everybody is out to get her. She doesn't realize that by treating people like they're going to screw you over is what makes them want to screw you over. The salon itself has good bones, but needs some fixing up as well. It's kind of a hodge-podge of styles and needs a cohesive concept to make it really elegant and to make it look like the kind of place where people would expect to pay what we charge. The owners have several businesses, only one of which is doing well. I think a few of their businesses are actually up for sale, and the lease on my salon is up next year. If it doesn't improve, they will probably just let it go when it could be made into such a great, profitable business. It's such a shame that one person can completely tear down a series of businesses, but that's exactly what's happening and it's really sad to see because the owners deserve to make money for all of their hard work.

I really love your show im a new cosmetologist and the salon i work at needs to be taken over HELP!!!!

Hi,

I would love to blog, but I am realy looking for a place to find "casting calls" or to apply for Tabitha to takeover my salon!

Tabatha, Thank you so much! I do not get the Bravo channel. One of my stylist clients taped it for her. I have watched it 3 times and then got on the internet. I Have been in the hair industry for 25 years and will be celebrating my 17th anniversry as a salon owner.I am in the process of taking my business back.Sometimes you go thru burn out and get lax on things, you have inspired me again.Thank you! I am in the process of creating a new employee handbook and implimenting new policies and promotions. I thought I had problems. After watching your show, my salon runs pretty smooth. There is one thing I need to work on personally. I need to grow some balls, I feel like I get taken advantage of because I have a big heart and try to be their friend as well as employer. Thank you again for the inspiration. Are all of your seasons on DVD?? I would love to see all of them.

Sincerely,
Minnie Webb

Tabatha,

I love your show!! I think you are great and the fact that you are honest that's what these hair salon's needs to hear. I think sometimes they close their eyes to what they know is wrong and that a change is definitely needed.

But when you come into their salon and call them on what needs to be done, to make their salon run better sometime people don't want to hear the truth.

I don't think you are mean, just very direct which you should be in order for things to change for the better. I hope that they put your show back on showing new eposides, because I definitely will be watching.

I also love your haircut that's off the hook!!!!

Hi Tabitha,

I love your show. My favorite episode is #4 when you take Oyster Bay to Manhattan. What I loved the most was watching one of the stylist at the Manhattan salon cut hair, it was out of this world. What salon was that?

I have to totally agree with Nadine Branch regarding black hair salons. I am a 40ish, black woman who has gone natural (going on three years)because I can not deal with the hours I have to spend in there not to mention the cost for what I call "poor service". If my appointment is at 2 PM and I do not sit in your chair until 3:45 PM; I'm stupid for staying and for coming back. Our salons like to book every client 15-30 minutes apart no matter what service is requested. THAT IS CRAZY!!!! I worked at a caucasian salon as a parttime receptionist and boy did I learn something about scheduling. If you can help our sisters get that together, they will learn that they could make far more money without herding clients in like cattle. If you can work with Nadine, please do. WE WOULD FOREVER BE GRATEFUL!!!!

Hey Tabatha, I love you and your show last season I hope you have another one because I was so hooked to it everytime it came on I didn't want to leave and do nothing till it was over or went on commercial... you taught me a whole lot I've been doing hair since I was 16 and really loving and admiring it, but now I'm actually going into it for a profession, I'm in school at Rapeals Beauty School in Alliance, Ohio and I have really loved it even more, and when I graduate in December I will be working with an Aunt, learning the business and how she manages it and be a stylist right now were just getting started and the space where were going to do style our clients hair at is really small because we have a hair store and a child care hooked up all in one and just the other day I walked into our Salon and hated it because It just doesn't look or feel like one, the colors suck the equipment suck everything about it sucks I wish you could come here but we can't even afford you right now, I know, lol.. But I was wondering what colors should I go with for a small, carpeted room that we have I just feel so cluttered because were in a small place for the time being... (PLEASE HELP US) I haven't became the manager yet because I'm waiting to graduate from school, but she's my manager for now, and plans in the future to give it to me, if it's written in Gods plans for my life... But My question to you is what colors should I go with that will make it inviting to our clients, spacious, classy, but colorful because we have no idea where to start or do at this moment!!!!!

please tell everyone when you can bring tabatha back to take over salon owners. I love it sooo much and I learn a lot from her. I will be a future hair dresser and let me know when you send me this comment!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I hope you have another season. Last one was great (every one!) Your show is what i needed to see my own potential. I have worked 8 yrs in a salon that is dated!! Owner seems oblivious to the fact that it needs some TLC. Chairs are split, old decor, and dusty!! Can't clean cause the wood is rough. I've tried. I'm embarrassed and have had clients that want to leave, disgusted with how dirty it looks and is. I've opted to go on my own and eliminate all I hate about where I work now. As you know, We spend more time at work than at home these days and to have to LIVE in a place that makes you feel blah, and I have work extra hard to put it aside and do the best I can. I hope the crisp new enviornment will help my customers feel better too. You can be very good at your work, but if the place is glooming, then its not what they deserve. If only the owners would realize, they own it, run it, & take care of it. How do all these shops pass state inspection? Ours comes every year! I guess maybe they're blind. Thanks for bringing a very big problem to the beauty industries attention. Your doing an awesome job, keep it up and hope to see you another season.
Go Get Em Tabitha!!!

Hi Tabatha: I own a salon in Houston TX. On one episode one of the salon owners changed out all of his salon hair dryers for ones that extend from the ceiling and re-coil after use. I have searched the internet for them but to no avail. Can you help me identify them and possibly locate them? I think you are an amazing asset to the hair industry. Keep up the good work.

Tabitha,
I love, love, love, your show. I have been working in a salon for 7 years. We have recently moved to a new location and EVERYTHING has gone south. I would really love to apply to be on the show, but don't know how. We are in desperate need!! The staff and owner have lost all of their motivation and drive. I love being a hair stylist and I know with your help anything is possible. Any information would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks Lisa A.

Tabitha,
First of all, I want to say that I think that you are great!!! I have never taken the time to watch your show as I have today. I have spent quite a bit of time around salons, as I know many salon owners. (Some could even possibly benefit from your expertise. However, that is not my reason for this comment.)

My comment is regarding Images Salon: Oyster Bay. I am sure that there are MANY reasons why people reach out to you...to get help, to get a salon makeover, to get publicity (ANY PUBLICITY!). As for Josephine, I believe that she was more concerned with the makeover than the learning experience. It seemed ALL about HER!!! Based upon the footage, she had a very nonchalant attitude toward being a true stakeholder in the changes necessary for success at her OWN salon. However, "I" thank you for helping to educate the staff. Despite a few obstacles, they seemed able to see your heart in what you did. You rock!

Hi Tabitha!

I love your work and your show! I am 22 years old and have just signed a lease for a location in Hollywood for my salon. I am working a full time job to pay the rent of the salon and I am soon hoping to find commission hairstylists that would like to work with me and eventually I will be able to quit my full time job in about a year once my business stabilizes. My parents support me so much and are working so hard as well to help me pay the lease and are helping me do the work to get the salon together to help lift my business off the gound.

I would love your input on how to make my salon successful so I can one day take care of my parents the way they have taken care of me.

I look forward to hearing from you and meeting you one day!

All The Best-

Kimberley Elder

Amazing work Tabatha! OK, what gives, when is the next season starting. I see no mention on the Bravo site...surely there is going to be a 2nd season. So tell us WHEN! Thanks for all that you do.

OMG I love this show! Please when is the new season starting? Put the show back on Bravo we want to see it! Take out all this other dumb shows you (BRAVO) have going on and put on Tabatha's show! PLEASE AND THANK YOU!

I'm Italian and I was in L.A. for vacation and I have seen the Tabata Show in Bravo TV.......she is FANTASTIC !!!!!
I want the Tabata Show in Italy please.....!!!

Hi Tabatha!
I am opening a salon soon and would like to know your best advice for getting started. What's the best marketing to start with. I am a stylist but just moved to a new state and I don't have a clientel. I plan to rent my chairs out in my new salon. There will be 5 possibly 7. Any info would be great!

I would like a response to one question which I cannot find a definitive answer to even on the Web. Just how much should we tip a stylist? I've read 10%, 15%, 20 and 25% percent, $20 dollars for each hour they've been working on your hair and even 50% in New York City.

I'm very frustrated. I've finally gone back to having my hair colored since the birth of my children. The price for highlights is $150 at one salon. Another salon charged almost $300 for highlights and lowlights. I simply cannont afford to pay these prices and tip another 25% percent on top of it. I'd rather get a great cut and color at a reasonable rate and tip the stylist the 25%. And why is it so hard to find one that can cut AND color?

oh my god! u r so good! this is taiwan. we have your show on discovery taveling and living channel. this is good! u r amazing!
i love u! u r so cool! i want to have a haircut like yours!

Hi Tabetha, today was the fisrst time for me to watch your show and I was blown away. It was amazing. I loved it, I loved it, and I loved it. I also would love to meet you someday. Actually you are the only famous person that I would die to meet. Your are fantastic and fabulous. Trust me, I'm not usually impressed by anybody but I love what you do. I'm a hairstylist, aesthetician and massage therapist. I love this industry so much and I want to be successful at it. I started my career at supercuts but I'm ready to move up. I want to apprentice at great salon. Can u help? By the way I live in NY City. Love you and thank you for your help.
Mimi

So I am not going to say I am a huge fan of your show in fact I have only for the first time seen your show today. I love it! In fact ur show actually scares the crap out of me. I am currently in school and I have about 9 to about 10 months left. My school unfortunately in a joke. We never have color, product, or even towels. We make due with what we can and learn as much as possible. I definitely feel very denied in education at times but watching your show for the first time today even puts a bit more fear in me. I have my days where I know what I am doing and no one get in my way and there are days where I feel like a helpless puppy and wonder if I am even able to apply the skills I am aquiring. Any tips or advice?

Tabatha,
As a Salon owner I LOVE your show. I am looking forward to a new season. I have owned my own Salon for 10 years, I was not a hair stylist, but a nail tech for 8 of those years. I am now in Beauty School with about 2 months left until I graduate. I am going to be joining my staff of 11 women, 5 hair dressers, 2 nail techs, 2 estheticians, and 2 massage therapist, as soon as I am done with school. I am 61 years old and have learned and implemented so much from your show. I would like to think a big part of my motivation for returning to school was from you and your show. THANK YOU so much.... Eddie Johnson Mr. Eddie's Salon McMinnville Or.

Love the show, but why do these solon owners find it necessary to have so many employees? In my opinion the best service is when I am treated personally by one person from beginning to end, not shipped off from one person for a cute and to the next for a color.

Tabetha, I am a hairstylist in Royal Oak, MI. and I just started working at a very unique salon not too long ago. It is in a great neighborhood,but here's the thing people who live around here don't know we are here. We've been here for 20yrs. We have great advetizing in the paper and coupons in the mail but few customers. This is not because our services are poor, as matter of fact we have talented stylists who care about the customer. We all agree that we really need your help to bring some life and pazaz to attract Everyone. We provide nails, hair, tanning and makeup.It's pretty much a one stop get it all done place. Any advise?
Sunny

Tabitha

I absolutley love watching you. I wish I could find a stylist that knew how to do hair like you do!
How do I go about finding a good stylist? I have had friends refer me over and over again, but none of them seem to know how to cut my fine hair without leaving it a mess. I am in Las Vegas, and can't afford to pay a fortune, but I'm willing to pay for someone who knows what they are doing, Please Help!!!

When does the New Season start
Love the show
Ann

Well!! Hello Tabitha..My name in Nadine Branch, Two things.
1. I was told months and months ago "Nadine, you have got to see this lady name "Tabitha". I said.. oh I really don't have time because I need to just focus on rewriting the script in our industry! I must say, I like the fact that someone else understands the "ETIQUETTE" of it ALL....I had training salons. I wanted to make sure the stylists understood the business from the front door to the restrooms. It all represents YOU. I have been in the business now for 29yrs and I still love it all. Tabitha I have worked under the ownership of an Asian, Middle Eastern, White Italian, Spanish and Black owners. Boy!! and for me, they ALL were missing the leadership. They seemed to think that came with the LEASE.I'm in the OC and I'm a Black woman. My clients want me to meet you. Now that I finally saw your site. I think you would really like what I could bring to the table, "Change with a twist". I would like to walk side by side and help rewrite the script in the BLACK SALONS. I think I have the veral skills, manners, knowledge and training that would light your eyes up. 2. The lady that is Bi-racial,Venicia, in the LA. area. I can help her with her hair!! I have passion in that area of hair. I would love to get my DVD to you or a package, My Bio....Hope I her back for you and if not, I hope you here about me soon. Keep up the professionalism. Believe me, stylist need to know, It's not one race, it's not high end verse low end salons, it's all, that need to rise the bar.....I'm on facebook too

Hello Tabatha,
I watched your show faithfully every week. I thought it was great. There is a desparate nees for more people to do what you do. I would love to have your job. Or at least be your protege' I've only been a hair stylist for a short time, however the man I was trained under was veery intense and thorough. He was a hard man to work for but i learned great deal from him through one means or another. I know exactly what you mean when you enter a salon and take a look around the different things a person would take notice of. So what do you say need some help?

Hi Tabatha,

I hope you can S.O.S! The owners of our salon/spa have there minds elsewhere. This family seems to always have a reason for incompetence. You are my only saving grace. If you get a moment, please advice.

Sincerely,
Van

I just love you Tabitha. I'm not a hair stylist but I worked as a receptionist in a salon of 18 stylists for several years and loved every day of it. I'm going into shear withdrawel and I would love to know when your next season is going to start and I'm praying there is another season of your show. How can we find out when it starts if there is another season?

how do you apply for show?

Whats up with Medusa Salon?

Tabatha I'm in the process of opening a new Salon do you have any pointers on the Do's and Don'ts of the Business?

Tabatha you are the Bomb! You are an inspiration for all I love you and your show, and I need to know if your coming back to Los Angeles area. I just started working at this little salon in Northridge Ca. This woman Jacqualine has been in this same salon for 20 years. She told me that she has cancer and is in need of someone to come in and help her with her salon. I would love to come in and help because I have a lot of energy and a lot of experience, but the salon needs help. It needs a make-over inside and out!!!! It has so much potential and she deserves so much respect and I would love to do this for her. I just met the lady, and I want to help her and maybe one day take it over myself as we dicussed, but I need to help her save the salon and get all of the booths filled for her. I do have some ideas, I would love to have a Tabatha make-over from the ground up, in side out. THANK YOU SINCERELY TRANESSA OLIVER

hi my names venicia and im half black and half mexican; so it goes without saying that i have reallt thick untaimable hair. ive been desperately trying 2 find a hairdresser that can work with my hair, but thats proved fruitless. so far the only hairdressers iv manage to find are ones that end um destroying my hair with relaxers. i like my hair to feel light and not greaased down. i usually go in for a press and curl and a relaxer. is there anybody... and i mean absolutely anybody that you could recommend in the los angeles, ca area. im desperately seeking help.

I got to meet Tabatha in Chicago today on Halsted street. She was filming at the Chicago Male Salon here in Chicago on Halsted. This salon is gorgeous inside with a great staff -- but makes no money because it caters only to upscale gay men. In this economy, it's been struggling since opening. So, that's an interesting twist on some of the places Tabatha has helped.

She's also done an episode at Orbit salon here in Chicago --- Orbit was a salon in need of a physical and staffing revamp. Looks like she finished that one and then moved on to Chicago Male.

I got to talk to Tabatha for a moment. Literally, I was walking down the street and saw her with the film crew. They were setting up a shot where she walks towards the camera talking. She was SO NICE TO ME. Very, very kind --- I told her it was great to have her in Chicago and it was nice to see her, and she said it was nice to see me too...and I told her to whip everyone into shape here and she said she would.

She was so warm and friendly, and GORGEOUS in person. Taller than me (I'm 5'8"), with that pretty, shock blonde hair...she looked incredible.

And so, so kind and nice. I know I am repeating myself, but usually famous people just sort of smile or don't say anything back, but she seemed really genuinely nice and happy to say hello.

C'mon people where is the new season??? I need more Tabitha....she is awesome....

YOU ROCK

i know i should comment on this episode,butall i need is your thoughtr on what a beauty school should have and also what i should be looking for. my daughter wants to go to beauty school she is graduating this summer.i'm divorce and my credit is poor,but she is willing to take out herself. She hasbeen going through somewhat of a bad yesr.She suffer from anxiety and her sister is drug addict and right now is in jail.So if you can give us some guidance she would absolute love that THANK YOU. CHERYL

I cant seem to find a hairdresser that works well with fine hair,I am a beatician by trade but i work in a nursing home,not much room for updating my styling techniqes,could you recomend a Salon for me to go to,I live in Fresh Meadows Queens N.Y thanks Sherry

Tabatha,
Have you ever considered coming to the S.F. Bay area? The salon where I have my hair styled is in desperate need of a makeover. The stylists are great but the salon needs to be brought into the 2000's. Is it appropriate to suggest to the owner that she needs to invest in her business. She is not a stylist and inherited the salon from her husband. I love the people there and want them all to succeed! Can you help?

Tabatha, YOU ROCK! You are inspiring to all people that want to be the best they can be - and if they don't want it bad enough, you can get right to the point and tell them to work hard for your dream and CRAP or get off the pot. I wish you shows were on in the evenings, I just ran across your shows today because I work for a school district as the Exec. Asst. to the Supt. and we are on spring break. You and Judge Judy Scheindling are great examples of strong, professional, successful women! Hope your show's schedule gets some evening air time for all of us working women to view. Not everyone has a DVR, but I will some day. Keep up the fantastic shows! LOVE THEM!

Tabetha looking for a great salon in Las Vegas NV. Not sure what style would look good on me so,I stay the same. I loved the guy in New York who cut the hair dry. Hope to get a reply. Thanks

Will you marry me?

You rock! I would love you to come to us and kick some but into gear! You never know what to expect.

Hi Tabitha,

My name is Stephanie Flanagan. I work in a salon in Annapolis Maryland that is in desperate need of help. I don't even know where to begin. We have no color ( we are a color salon) we can't keep products in for our clients. Our boss refuses to face the facts that there are major problems in this salon ( and refuses to order no more than 3 of everything, including color!) she took over 2 yrs ago. Please help us! Our clients are leaving us and going to other salons! We need your help. How do we get you to come here?

Hi - my name is Gina and have been a stylist/colorist working for 3 years. I have a good understanding of color and have had training in Paul Mitchell and Framisi. Most of my clients get "basic" color/hi/lo-lights. Just recently, a 16 year old client of mine was interested in a trendy cut which I gave her and look great was happy with but would like to add deep violet hi-lights to really give the cut some dimension. I did that - she seemed happy, I was not completely satisfied. I also recommended a color preserve maintenance. I thought hi-lights were too subtle and would have liked to see some stronger color. Without sounding insecure to my client, I would like to follow-up - fadage, cut, return for more. If she wasn't satisfied, how can I offer "my" additional services, again without sounding like an insecure/unprofessn'al?! Thanks

I would LOVE some help with my salon, im like one of the salon owners who has no gutz! I let a stylist lie to me saying another salon was hunting her down and she would leave if i didn't pay her 60% so i gave in ... ended up meeting the owner of the salon who said none of it ever happened!

I have ten girls working for me I don't do hair or nails but my salon is quite close to closing due to I pay them way to much and as soon as i threaten to lower they all theaten to quit!

HELP

Tabetha I need help. I need to find a great salon where the beauticians know what they are doing. My hair style hasn't changed in years and I need a new cut, style, and color. However, I don't know what would look good on me. So I need a beautician that can look at me and tell what will look the best for my face. Do you know of any great beauticians or salons around Richmond Virginia that can do this. I want to surprise my husband before he comes home From Iraq in may. Thank you for your help.
