What if Mary Poppins was a hairstylist and instead of singing to you, she degraded and embarrassed you on national t.v? Well that is what you get on Bravo's new show Tabitha's Salon Makeover!
Tabatha Coffey, ( an Australian Native, not England) was the runner up on the first season of Bravo's hit television show Shear Genius. Known for being the tough talking, and very frank contestant on the hair styling competition, she now brings her aggression ( and obvious disgust) to struggling salons in the hopes of turning these money pits into cash cows.
This week she traveled to the Giovanni and Pileggi Salon in New Jersey ( which is another land in itself!) and met with one of the most ridiculous salon owners to ever own a business........
Martino Cartier
With his spiky highlighted tipped hair, thick gold chain and shirt unbuttoned to his navel, he styles hair, sexually harasses customers, kisses them on the lips and did we mention...........is 300k in debt and wonders why? In addition, he spends enormous amounts on his ...or what he calls his lavish lifestyle........after a visit to his house, we would call it Tacky....but that would be offensive to the word. The gold plated railing, white furniture and marble, it can rival Trump's apartment for the most gaudy living space ever!
One of the best moments of the show was when Tabatha had a meeting with the stylist to tell them that there workplace was filthy, even showing the 2" thick hair encrusted brushed ( which they use on people...nasty) and the layer of dust and grime on the mirrors. One of the stylist took so much offense to be told to clean up that he and Tabatha had a smack down. Obviously he has never heard of the Board of Health!
In the end, they all got on track and the show remolded the salon( as they do with every show) and even the rude stylist apologized and got with the program. The real test will be if they go back in a year and the salon is still making money.
Either way, this Hairstyling Dominatrix is worth the hour long watch, if not for the makeover, at least for watching her demean the American business owners!
Tabitha's Salon Makeover airs Thursdays at 10pm on Bravo TV
