Tabatha Takes Over has been around for sometime now and after dealing with salon and non-salon businesses in the last few episodes, Tabatha Coffey traveled to a Douglasville Salon for episode 4 of Tabatha Takes Over.

The salon featured in this episode was Pat Duke’s Pat’s Hair Shop. This salon has been around in Douglasville and doing business for the last 25 years. Pat started the hair salon in 1985 and luckily for her everything worked out fine until she was hit with a major crisis six years ago.

To scale her business, she expanded and doubled her staff very rapidly. But it did her salon more harm than good as her veteran stylists walked out thinking Pat was not fair with them by recruiting new staff. This left Pat emotionally and financially devastated!

When Tabatha Coffey visited her salon during Tabatha Takes Over, she realized that Pat hasn’t recovered from the betrayal and is not communicating with her remaining staff at all. And to make matters worse, the entire team has lost sight of how to be professional.

Thus, Tabatha had a big challenge to help Pat turn around her attitude and her business before she could shut down her business.

If you’ve watched episode 4 of Tabatha Takes Over, you would have seen how Pat’s Hair Shop got a nice visual makeover and how Tabatha provided some amazing pointers to Pat and her staff that not only shook them up but also helped them become more professional and customer friendly.

Tabatha Takes Over visited a gay club called Club Ripples in Long Beach during episode 2. Earlier, it was one of the most happening gay hot spot, but now it’s empty seven nights a week.

Tabatha Takes Over Episode 2 was all about how Tabatha tackles her first non-salon business – a gay club!

Club Ripples is owned by couple Larry Hebert and John Garcia. As soon as Tabatha Coffey entered the club, she could sense how stressed the bar owners were.

She immediately understood that owners had not changed and adopted with modern times, especially the changes in the gay community and the changes in Long Beach.

Tabatha was happy to see the club staff committed to their job and they shared some great ideas to regain its lost glory. The only problem was – communication gap between the owners and their staff.

Tabatha truly wanted to save this place, because she appreciated the legacy and liked the owners. Therefore, she took all of them on a field trip to establish team bonding and give each of them an opportunity to interact with one another.

The result was obvious – Club Ripples was transformed and it was all set to again become Long Beach’s happening gay hot spots!

If you are a Scarlett Johansson fan, you would be extremely happy to see her back in blonde!

She was recently seen sporting a modern celebrity hairstyle during the We Bought a Zoo premiere in New York City.

Her glamorous red carpet updo caught everyone’s attention. Not only was it modern yet elegant but it was a new look for the star, who simply rocked it.

If you want to copy the new Scarlett Johansson hairstyle, here is a step-by-step guide by celebrity stylist Duffy where he reveals how to recreate the same look for yourself.

• First, towel dry hair and distribute Sebastian Professional Whipped Crème through the lengths of the hair, beginning at the roots and moving towards the ends. Rough dry the hair until the product is completely absorbed.
• Second, spritz the hair with Sebastian Professional Potion 9 Lite and use a one-inch curling iron to curl the entire head, starting at the front. Once the hair has cooled, brush through the waves.Duffy says the parting is important because it creates the vintage look. The beauty pro advised the best way of creating a neat finish.

• Third, create a side part and separate the hair into four equal sections around the head, starting at the crown and moving downwards. Backcomb each section and spray the roots … to hold in place.
• Finally, working against the part, twist each section horizontally against the head around both the sides and back, and secure with pins. Allow the wave to show through the front section.

Follow these steps to create your favorite celebrity hairstyle. Keep us posted about whether you were able to recreate the new Scarlett Johansson hairstyle.
