Guilty TV pleasures

Tabatha's Salon Takeover

An American reality series which sees top hairdresser and salon owner Tabatha Coffey help failing salons, basically Hotel Inspector meets Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares. Of course things don't always run smoothly, what with ignorant staff, messy and un-hygienic salons, and often owners who have no idea about the hairdressing industry. But in the end, as always, the unprofitable salon becomes a success after a week's guidance.

A highlight of season 1 is Tabatha's takeover of Candolyn's Salon in LA. Her mission to attract customers and business to a failing salon/junk shop owned by a clueless, slightly manic depressive owner, one feat of a task. Even Tabatha reaches breaking point when she finds a bag of month-old cherries in one of the salon cupboards being consumed by maggots. However once the salon is given a new lick of paint and the '99 cents' store removed, it actually becomes a profitable business with a salon owner who appears to be a bit more sane than before, who would have guessed?
