Newsday

In the world of reality shows, this well-produced series is better than most. Betwixt and between all the emotional upheavals and drama, Coffey, only slightly witchy, dishes out sound advice.

The New York Times Anita Gates

It is very good at allowing viewers to feel superior.

Variety Brian Lowry

Admittedly, the poetic joys of hairstyling elude me, but even if Coffey's all that, the new agey platitudes ("She feels this business") grow tedious rather quickly, and the solutions are predictably simplistic.

Watching "Tabatha's Salon Takeover," which is unrated, you can't help but wonder if there shouldn't be a "whip it" show for "whip it" shows--in which an expert would review the tapes and offer advice on how to turn a bad situation around. They could start with this one.

A defining moment in our time. At last there is someone who acts like she knows what she is talking about and then proves it. To bad we don;t have polititions as intuitive and knowlegeble as Tabitha.

Jacquelyn W. gave it a10:
As a salon owner I love the life changing advice she gives to both stylists and owners!

Tony A. gave it a10:
Wonderful show. We need more Tabathas in this world. She takes salons by the scruff of their necks and gives them a good hard shake. WOW.

Gretchen D. gave it a10:
I love this show. I never miss it. I wish more salons would adhere to thie standards that Tabatha is trying to instill to these lackluster salons.

Amy G. gave it a10:
An outstanding show. Coffee is neither timid nor precocious and I don't feel like she ever says anything simply for the sake of ratings. Everything she says has a purpose and is done with the sole intention of improving the business.

Torgen S. gave it an8:
She's tough, she's direct and she's fabulously entertaining.

Arlene H. gave it an8:
