Tabatha Coffey is a 40-year-old Australian stylist who is famed for her run on Bravo’s hair competition, Shear Genius and her appearances in her own show, the subsequent Bravo series, Tabatha’s Salon Takeover. Coffey got her start assisting in a salon in her hometown of Surfer’s Paradise, Queensland, when she was just 14. Coffey has since garnered more than 25 years of experience in the industry.
Two years ago, Coffey appeared on Shear Genius and though she was considered an early front-runner, she was eliminated in the sixth episode. However, after the program’s run, viewers voted Coffey the Fan Favorite, due to the fact that she was outspoken, intense and talented and many believed, eliminated far too early. Due to her popularity on the show, Bravo enlisted her to star in her own series. Tabatha’s Salon Takeover chronicles Coffey’s journeys into struggling salons wherein she gives owners sound advice and needed expertise to give their dire businesses a physical, spiritual and dogmatic renovation.
Coffey also owns her own salon, Industrie Hair Gurus, which is located in Ridgewood, New Jersey. Though Coffey is known for her personality, she has no specific trademark style markers. She methodically provides an individual style for each and every client.
She is also a spokeswoman for hair care product company Joico International. With the company, Coffey tours annually, producing hair shows which display her energetic talent and her desire to educate and communicate with fellow professionals and aspiring stylists. Coffey’s work has been regularly featured in such publications as Seventeen, Marie Claire and Cosmopolitan. Despite building a massive client base in her own salon in New Jersey, Coffey has become bi-coastal due to her new notoriety and has begun seeing clients at the Warren-Tricomi Salon in West Hollywood. Coffey is openly gay and lives with her partner of ten years in New Jersey.
Tabatha’s Salon Takeover returns for season two on November 3rd! Check out the website!
Many of our visitors to this page are curious about Tabatha Coffey’s sexuality (yes, she’s lesbian), and most are curious about her longtime girlfriend. Don’t be surprised that you can’t find out the identity of her partner, it’s something she has kept quite private. This Starcasm article references her comments on gay marriage, and confirms her hard work keeping the name of her partner secret.

I think Tabatha’s Salon Takeover is a great show, being a solon owner myself I see where I have to improve.

I love Tabatha!!! I started watching her show and its fabulous!! She really knows her stuff and helps people out to make themselves better at what they do and also makes the salons sparkle!!! I work in a salon in the back room as as esthetician and I can’t attract customers because its noisy in there and no one helps me promote myself. The room is small and very hard to manuver around but I manage. I love the owner, she is sweet but she is afraid to talk to the hairdressers about promoting me or helping me attract customers. I am good at my job and I love the skin care field, but without any kind of assistance from the owner or the hairdressers, I am not going to succeed at my passion. Can you help me Tabatha??????

If your ever in Canada please come and help us at our salon. I’ve seen your show and loved what you did. I can be reached through my email. The name of the shop is Hair Tech, in Kanata, Ontario.

I love Tabatha Coffey shows the way she gets peoples attention. There are alot of salons around here that could use her advice.
November 30th, 2009 @ 7:05 pm
Tabatha, your show is great and certainly portrays what many Salons and their owners are going through. I’d like to know how to get my staff to come to work at an appropiate hour and not 4 or 5 o’clock in the afternoon or not come in at all. It is a disaster!! Also, being a booth rental salon, they believe they can do as they please as long as they pay the rent. That is a joke.
December 1st, 2009 @ 10:19 pm
I love the show. Been in the business for over 30 years. Tabitha brings a professionalism into the salons that is remarkable. i am a school owner and have considered the show to be an assignment for my students to watch and bring to class what they learned from the show. Love her Love the show. Has she ever considered doing the same thing with a cosmetology school?
Sincerely;

Tabatha,
I watch your show all the time. I am 23 years old and have a lot of learning to do. Although I have worked, apprenticed and moved around a lot I have aquired many different hair techniques and knowledge. I would love to come and apprentice under you at your salon for a week or two and learn from your expertise!
If you would be so willing to do this it would mean the world to me!
Sincerely,

Hi Tabatha,
I am salon owner/stylist in the Katy, Texas area. My salon name is Sista Girlz Hair Therapy (281)647-COMB(2662). I am a partner in the hair business with stylist/owner Belinda Johnson. We have been stylist for many years, but salon owners for only 2years. We are a African American Salon in a predominately white area called Cinco Ranch. Since moving to Texas from New Orleans,La. after hurricane Katrina 2005 we worked in a salon in a booth rental situation for a few years. Then when our clientele became steady and regular we thought we were ready to do our own thing. After renting private suites in a Salon Park for 1 year we quickly outgrew that. So in April 2008 We decided it was time for our own venture. We then opened Sista Girlz. The move was very exciting! As time passes its becomeing very challenging and we don’t want it to become frustrating because we LOVE what we do! Thats why we need Tabatha’s help! We just can’t seem to gather new clients in the area we’re in. I know we can’t be the only African Americans in Katy.(smile) We’ve tried all types of advertising! And with the recession a lot of our weekly clients have become biweekly and the biweekly have become once a month. HELP us PLEASE Tabatha! We have also submitted an application for your show on line I hope you’ve received it and we’ll be hearing from you soon.
Thank You in advance!

I am very hard working,honest and open to learn more and more.If you have any direction please contact me when convenient, Thank you so kindly, MARCUS

I love the show, and especially admire Tabatha for her straight to the point, get it done, no bullXXXX attitude. I created my spa within a salon about 5 years ago after working in the industry for almost 12 years.
The women I chose to work with is the one who turned me on to the show initially. She runs the salon and retail end of things and is as hard of a worker as I am, but is having some of the same struggles I have with those working for us. I’m a realist and know life never seems to go as perfectly planned as you plan.
Life took some major turns for the both of us and now we barely see each other.
When I’m at the spa I’m usually back to back with clients so we don’t always have time to communicate long term goals or have the brainstorms we used to.
I built my clientele from nothing, and to be honest I too struggled with many of the same challenges Donna mentions above. Things still aren’t perfect, but after being so frustrated to the point I wanted to just pack up and leave:I decided to take full charge of my own success.
I would suggest Donna you do the same. Don’t wait for others to promote you, go out and make your mark. If it’s too noisy…make it change or leave. Especially for facials that is un acceptable.
I too started in a very bad location with no support from the hair salon, and noisy. I can tell you some of the things I did to alleviate the issues, but this is already WAYYYYY too long.
Call me if I can help in any way.
To give you some hope…some five years later, we expanded to a much larger venue and the salon as well as new staff came with us.
Even in this bad economic downturn, I have managed to keep full time busy and am trying (in my spare time) help 2 additional spa people build as well with my overflow.
I’ve also added an accounatant and purchased a software spa booking system, a micro current machine and started a new business revenue arm that encourages keeping our entire community involved.
I will be speaking at the next Women’s Economic Ventures orientation for Santa Barbara County, and my original interview is online there as well.
My true passion is helping other businesses (especially women) succeed. I know NOTHING about hair, but love the business side and skin care part of the salon and day spa experience. Hope to help.
I wish I would have been there for the “Plush Salon” taping; that skin care piece of the episode was ridiculous. Waxing a pregnant women, let alone a newbie with no consultation or consent form, milk, wax spills and strip wax are you kidding me…my husband thought I was going to rip through the television. Aghhhh
Would love to help Donna succeed.

Love Tabatha and I am her age and a guy just like her. I was raised in hair on newbury st in boston. I have high standards and I am for the first time due in part to the economy and my splitting my life in 2 locations and 2 differant parts of the state. I am a hair artest and very well trained. I want my passion back and it will happen soon. I need to concentrate my efforts in on locations is the only way to make things happen again. Thanks to watching this show I feel more pumped up. At 40 in this industry its the dawn of roller sets that I will not do.lol
Time is still on my side along with my wisdom. I feel going back to where I was doing good is my best step. Miss my passion, I still have it and do that work with care that everyone in the salon notices loves and compliments. That is not what I need. I miss making lots of money and working with equals.
December 10th, 2009 @ 12:50 pm
I love, love, LOVE this woman. When she was on Sheer Genius I KNEW she was going to make it somewhere on t.v. and thank goodness she did. She’s absolutely fab, no other way to put it.
December 14th, 2009 @ 8:41 pm
I am a barber of 42 years. I was fortunate enough to land a job with Norris of Houston as my introduction to the world of barbering. Tabatha what you are trying to teach we were doing from the beginning. I am so proud of you. If only these people would learn about team work and professionalism Loving what you do and love for your fellow workers. After all these years several of our ex employees keep in touch, including Norris. I count myself as blessed, Keep up the good work. You’re the Pits.

I watched her show a couple of times and felt that she should use more professional language. She always talks about being professional but yet they have to constantly bleep out her words. That is very unprofessional for someone who considers herself a professional lady. As a lady she needs to talk like one. I will be praying for her.
December 22nd, 2009 @ 1:38 am
Made a huge mistake in my typing and thoughts the other night. I think I said that Tabatha and I were both guys…lol She is a woman and I am a guy… I just love her and hope you all get that it was late i was over tired and watched a few of her shows in a row and just think she is the BEST… Sorry for my bad typing and happy holidays Tabitha. YOU ROCK!!!
December 29th, 2009 @ 10:11 am
My Dear TaBatha
I started watching your show on Bravo, since my husband and I are thinking about investing in a barber shop & a salon. Since, we are not stylists. I have pick up on a lot of helpful tips on Management, Public Relation,Inventory, Computer Program ETC… Your show taught us that there is alot of work to maintaining a successful hair shop. -
Have you ever thought about putting together your own program, For How To Manager a Successful Salon- Form Top To Bottom? Dealing with each area of the salon or barber shop. Or do you have a favor one, already. Keep doing your thing and I will be watching.
December 29th, 2009 @ 7:11 pm
Dear Tabatha, I am a 43yr old 25 years exsperenced hair stylist. I live to watch your show. It gives me so much hope for my future,you have no ideal how much I learned I could only wish I had the opertunity to exsperience as probly the smallest solon owner in Upstste N.Y(syracuse). I get a great sence of pride.I realy didn’t know what I was getting my self into. Having my own solon gives me pride and pleasure. I realy have to make this work I giving 110% i’m sure you could do a show about my situation learn from your shows this is all I have my husband has alway sacrificed and I have no stylist detcated and loction is new to area. Tabatha U are my hero!keep helping your fellow stylist!love you!
January 3rd, 2010 @ 3:23 pm
I had to take a minute to say thank you. I have been a stylist for 23 years and an owner of a small salon for one and a half years. Although I always took pride in my work and in my salon, your show has pushed my to see the details. Thank you and thank you for bringing our industry to life.
January 3rd, 2010 @ 5:16 pm
Tabatha’s work ethic, management techniques and philosophy are wonderful. Though I am not in the salon industry, I find many of her ideas about business management, human resources, inventory and education are transferable to the entire business world. I would recommend Tabatha’s Salon Takeover to any manager. They will gain insights that can only be seen “on the floor” vs. a conference room.
Thank you Tabatha, you do Rock!
January 3rd, 2010 @ 5:23 pm
Am first time salon owner i watch her show every week am her biggest fan love her she amazing i have learned so much just by watching her show wow…….
January 5th, 2010 @ 10:31 pm
I love watching Tabitha kick some butt! I think her methods and practices would work in just about any small business. I am not a hair stylist but have worked in many vet clinics where the 20 & 30 something staff have acted like a bunch of gossiping teenagers and an unprofessional managment team lets everyone get away with the same things as the stylists from on her show. Do people these days not know how to act professional at their job? I think Tabitha could kick butt with her methods in any small business.

Tabitha I Have Never seen you show until today I just got home from work! A long day in the salon at Fantastic Sams! Have you Ever saved a franchise? We are in the middle of Wyoming and you can imagine what thats like for a hairstylist exp. for a hairstylist to learn everything the right away! im scared of everything but haircuts and thats pretty sad! Wyoming could use your blunt and your true self!!!
January 6th, 2010 @ 10:32 pm
I love tabitha. I watch her religiously. I have been a salon owner for 14 years and boy these episodes make me laugh, cry, think and evaluate my status and role in my salon. I think she is what our industry needs. This industry is changing rapidly and she puts the ‘human’ perspective back on it. I hope to meet her some day.

Hello! Tabatha, so glad to know you take salon service seriously and professionally- all the right ethics! I wish I had my own salon, some day I want to open my own! I love what I do!!!!!!!!! my experience of 30 years tells me, your work ethic is very much right way to do it-for our clients, and for ourselves, it’s a feel good day for every one.

January 12th, 2010 @ 9:24 pm
I dont have a comment, I am concerned about the salon that I am currently working in. I am not the owner, just renting a booth. The owner is stressd out ( people working after hours of operation, doing their personal laundry. If the phone rings and everyone is busy, no one will answer it. Stylist using other stylist tools and products.) We have meetings and go over the same thing every time, every meeting. NOTHING CHANGES. I love what I do,where I work and the owner,but she needs to get some balls and put her foot down. I dont want to move to another salon.PLEASE HELP PLEASE!!!!!!
January 12th, 2010 @ 10:16 pm
I LIKE HER STYLE AND KNOWLEDGE OF BUSINESS. DOES SHE DO SALON SET UP FOR NEW SALONS? I WOULD BE INTERESTED IN THAT.
January 13th, 2010 @ 1:06 am
I just wanted to say to tabatha,

January 14th, 2010 @ 11:08 am
My daughter and I love your show. She has just started in the business and unfortunately the owner takes advantage of young inexperienced stylists. She is holding on for the experience and is looking for classes to take in the meantime. I can’t seem to find any except in New York or LA. Do you have any idea what advanced classes can be taken in Seattle Washington?
January 14th, 2010 @ 12:01 pm
Since i’ve been watching Tabatha salon makeover, i have been amazed at how talented she is. I would love to see what she could do for my hair.Just let me know where you’re at. I know that with such talent you have , god has given you your destiny. Whether it be having your own salon or make over others. I will continue watching your show. Right now i’m watching a new show with you on it which is shear genius. I’ve never watch it but since you’re on it, this will be another show i will watch. Thanks again for all you’ve done to the bravo chanel.
January 14th, 2010 @ 1:52 pm
Love your show and you’re no-nonsense approach. I’m a huge fan and my sister is a loyal client of your salon. A couple of questions: how does one become a model for the shows, and do you have plans to do a show in the Raleigh/Durham NC area? Keep up the great work and see you next Tuesday night!
January 14th, 2010 @ 3:04 pm
Has everyone lost her fucking gaydar?? Tabatha is a wonderful example for our community. Thank you, Tabatha! I’m actually a dog groomer and basics are basics. I often recommend that other groomers watch Takeover.The animal is my client, the owner is my customer. Confusing? Not so much. HUMANITY BEFORE VANITY,CUSTOMER SERVICE x 3. Brilliant show! Wish it was new every week of the entire year.
January 16th, 2010 @ 1:16 am
Love your proffesionalism!
I would like to know more about how you pay your stylist, receptionist and estheticians. How you feel about salary commission or renting a station. When a stylist gets a percentage of their service what can you ask of them to do with other salons duty’s? When they are getting payed hourly why do some people think eating and reading a magazine is ok? Can your recommend a book or a web site to help me with some of these issues. Thank You for all your great information. Julie
January 16th, 2010 @ 6:34 am
I appreciate the show, am using it to “tighten up” my own business. Have owned a salon for 13 years now, am having the January ever – such a difficult month usually! Most of all, I appreciate that, if you let her, Tabitha is not about getting rid of people, but inspiring and encouraging them to “step up”. We all need more of that. Thanks for the leadership!
January 18th, 2010 @ 2:16 pm
Love your show & would Love you and yourassistance in guding me to make my our Salon & Spa more succesful.I have a wonder staff to work with, but know you could help us to become even better. I need to learn how to be a better Salon Owner, I’m lucky to have a great manager to keep me going. Looking forward to hearing from you, Gina
January 18th, 2010 @ 6:41 pm

We are very impressed with your ability to lead and educate! We would love to know what your rates are to do a class in our salon? Keep up the great work!
January 24th, 2010 @ 9:19 pm
I have learned alot from tabatha. I have lost alot of the zeal to do hair till a friend of mine and co-worker worked at a supermarket together. She got very sick and had to be put on oxygen 24 hours a day. She looked and looked for a job and no-one would hire her because of the oxygen tank.She loved to tan so she decided to buy a tanning salon. But the hair part came with it. So she and her husband bought it.She asked me if i would help her since she knew nothing about doing hair and I told her I would. Well it hasn’t done that great and I was afraid to give up a steady paying job to help her. I was only there about 6-20 hours. My friend really needs me so I am going to jump in with all fours.Any help from Tabatha would be appreciated
January 25th, 2010 @ 9:46 am
MY HUSBAND AND I LOVE THIS SHOW. TABATHA KNOWS HER STUFF AND IT IS GREAT TO SEE HOW SHE TURNS THINGS AROUND AND REMODELS FOR THE SALONS TO LOOK BETTER. SHE IS BRASS BUT SHE SOMETIMES HAS TO BE IN ORDER TO BE EFFECTIVE.
NOW, WHENEVER MY HUSBAND AND I GO IN FOR A HAIRCUT, WE LOOK AROUND AND NOTICE THINGS THAT WE NEVER DID BEFORE, LIKE DUST AND HAIR AROUND THE DRYERS.
WE GO TO JAMISON=BRITT SALON IN COLUMBUS, GA. IF YOU WANT TO COME DOWN SOUTH, WE WOULD LOVE TO SEE YOU AND YOUR WORK TO BETTER IMPROVE OUR SALON. IT DOES NEED TO BE REMODELED.
THANKS SO MUCH,

I absolutely love your show! You are bold, professional, meticulous, organized, and CLEAN!! That is why your business does so well, just look at the owner!!! That’s why so many salons are closing today, they lack your luster!! I just bought Season 1 and await Season 2.. Keep up the awesome advice & work!!

We am some of your biggest fans, your nononsense approach to salons and owners is cathartic for my wife and I. She & i have inherited the salon/barbershop from my father-in-law who was the owner for 48 years. We are so in need of your expertize’ that it ain’t funny. I’m writing you because I love my stylist and would do anything for them, that includes tough-love. Some of them don’t even own cars or bank accounts, due to antiquainted skills, and bad habits. Detroit is rising from the ashes with a new zeal, we are in the heart of downtown where everthing is developing first. I want, no I beg you for whatever you can extend to us, because I want them to have a piece of this American dream. They neeed to maximize their incomes now, because they are on booth rent and that means ‘no-pension-plan’. I love and want the best for them.
Some folks may not like the things you say or the way you say them but at the end of the day, they realize your goal to help them grow is unwaivering. Thank You for even taking the time to consider this correspondence, either way our love & prayers go with you.
Your Fans Always

I have been a salon owner for 20 years. I appreciate what Tabitha does, her ideas and getting to the problem and has the solution. However, I think her constant F bomb is as unprofessional as some of the disgusting people and salons she encounters. She should be professional in “EVERY” aspect which completely includes the F bomb. When she constantly uses it, she is lowering herself and her professionalism to the level of the people that she is trying to improve. She needs to improve that problem more than the people she is trying to help
February 15th, 2010 @ 3:18 pm
Tabitha, the insperation u give to all of us out here in this field is fabulous!!! Been in business for 15yrs and love love love it, so passionate about my business and my growing business, I can honestly say I love what I do!!! Still learning everyday but the best part is I never get enough and I am willing to always make things better. Love to see u here in N.Y. Some tough love lol would be great!!!
February 17th, 2010 @ 2:42 pm

February 22nd, 2010 @ 3:15 am
we have a huge space, half the salon has been a salon for over 30 yrs,we have 15 girls, 8 on 1 sd, 3
on the other,
the owner is nonexistent, the salon is ran by a 10yr. experienced manager, who gets a whooping $9.00 hr.and its crew.
its known of a walk in salon,,, because, everyone is good.
February 24th, 2010 @ 2:57 pm
I love to watch Tabatha. I wish she had come to my salon and maybe I would still have it. The one thing that always bothers me and it isn’t just her it is most of the industry. When doing color stylists say that the clients roots need to be redone. We are professionals and should know that roots are under the skin and do not show. They have regrowth showing. To color roots you need a scalpel. We in the industry need to use correct terminology.

Tabitha is amazing. She is completely professional, creative, and understanding of not only the clients needs, but also of the salon that she is working with. I think she has set a new standard for salons and stylist all over the world. I would love to get her insight on anything!

As Tabatha has bleached hair, I would love to get some information. My hair is overbleached, and falling out, burnt. What is the way to get my hair back…..please answer.
My undying thanks. Judy

I think Tabatha is one tough person who tells these hair salon owners and workers just how it is. She is one tough woman. And to make it in that business you have to market your salon.
And have top hair people. And know how to cut a
person’s hair so it fits them. Its so hard to
find a good hair salon, I know Had only one,
where I use to live, and the person who cut my
hair was gay, He was really great. I would
come in and say just make my hair fit my face,
meaning make me and my hair look good, and did
he, I walked out looking wonderful.
Now I cannot find one worth while. So I have
ended up cutting my own hair. I have learned
how. If I had Tabatha cutting my hair I know
it would look great

Ilove the way she tells her clients the truth
about the way they are running their business
with dirty supplies, unsanitary bathrooms, hair all over the place and cursing and drinking. I think she is an excellent professional that does not stand for any unprofessional nonsense. I look at her show
everytime she is on T.V. and I wish her the best of luck.
