When Tabatha took over Allure, salon stylist Joy became her biggest obstacle. After Tabatha called her lazy and complacent she had the nerve to call her a bitch! Tabatha did not take kindly to those words and gave her quite the talking to. Nobody gets away with nasty name-calling when Tabatha's around.

Salon Takeover has its share of gross-outs and breakdowns, but usually there's a silver lining. Eclectic Salon's story was heartbreaking, especially when Jacqui admitted to her staff she had filed for personal bankruptcy. But when Tabatha went back for follow-up the salon proudly told her that "business was booming." Hey, this show is all about the happy ending.

When Tabatha did her routine inspection of Tantrum Salon she quickly discovered the business was overrun with a pesky cockroach infestation. One of the stylists noted with complete nonchalance that the little buggers tended to crawl out of the phone and that they had previously fallen on clients. Cue Tabatha's most extreme "that's revolting" face.

Bang Salon just might have been the most unprofessional business Tabatha had ever encountered. Why? For one, owner Darren revealed that he kept a dildo at his styling station. Of course, there was a good reason... If a client acted bitchy he would simply instruct them to take it into the bathroom to calm down. Oh, he also called it a "bitch tamer." Classy. Let's just say Tabatha wasn't amused.

Tabatha instituted an interesting training session to help Bang Salon deal with clients professionally... working with kids! When Tabs and Darren head back to school, Tabs sees a softer side of inappropriate Darren and finally calls him a real grown-up. Awww shucks.

Miami's Brownes and Co. had one major problem standing in the way of its success. That would be its owner, Nikki. Exhibit A: When Tabatha presented the salon's renovation to a dazzled staff Nikki just did NOT approve. That was a "Takeover" first. She then continued to insult the job, Tabatha, and her terrified employees all at once. Bring on their blowout. Tabatha had some fighting words, but she had definitely met her match in Nikki. This was one stubborn salon she just couldn't save.

Silverlake's Refuge was a lazy, inexperienced salon and Tabatha just wasn't having their too-cool hipster ways. One particular stylist brought Tabs over the edge when she decided to only take on one client for the day. BIG MISTAKE. The stylist's excuse? She cut her finger the other day. EVEN BIGGER MISTAKE. Tabatha responded: "Yeah, so?" and continued to tell her she was "off her f-cking rocker." Aaand that's how it's done.

Tabatha had her hands full with Chicago Male, a salon that only catered to male clients. Not only did they have a strict "no girls allowed" policy she was determined to stop, they had a nauseating approach to personal hygiene. When Tabatha checked out their waxing station they admitted that they might have "double dipped." Tabatha of course replied with her never-failing wit, "You come and get your balls waxed and then have somebody's pubic hair on you?" Oh Tabatha, always painting that picture.

What happens when a stylist spills hot wax all over a pregnant woman? She makes sure her shoes are OK, whines, and completely ignores the client. Apparently that's how things are done at Plush salon. Not on Tabatha's watch! The bossy Aussie took control of the sticky situation, reprimanded the clueless waxer, and proceeded to call her a "f-ckwit," one of the best Tabatha-isms of the season.
