Posted at 9:17 AM • No Comments

Tabatha’s Salon Takeover is back with season 4. A popular reality television series in which Tabatha Coffey helps failing salons turn around in one week has now been renamed as Tabatha Takes Over.

Due to ever increasing popularity of the show, last year Bravo had announced that Tabatha’s Salon Takeover Season 4 would be renamed Tabatha Takes Over and the premise would be expanded beyond just hair salons to include Coffey “taking over” various other small businesses and family enterprises.

If you follow this series, you’ll now see the straight-talking, perfectly coiffed Tabatha Coffey using her sound advice and savvy expertise to help turn around a wide variety of struggling businesses, from bakeries to dog hotels, in Tabatha Takes Over.

She will not only expand her horizons and help more types of failing businesses, but turn their fortunes around with her brutally honest approach.

Tabatha Takes Over premiered on Tuesday, January 10th and it will be telecasted every Tuesday at 10 p.m. EST on Bravo.

For this season premiere, Tabatha visited Jungle Red salon in Minneapolis where she helped salon owner Suzanne Erickson in taking control of her salon which opened its doors for business in February 2001. She took control and made a shocking revelation to Suzanne about how her employees were consuming liquor with her clients and while they were alone.

For more interesting news and updates of what followed next, stay tuned to Tabatha Takes Over.

The Teardrop Technique is an amazing haircutting technique. Its one of the latest signature haircut of the SeanHanna salon in the UK.

This cut features seamless layers, and it really is a versatile haircut which works on all lengths and hair types. With or without a fringe, the Teardrop Technique promotes texture and movement without seeing the lines of the shorter layers, hence the appearance of being seamless.

If you’re a stylist or cosmetology student, keep your hair shears aside for a moment and learn how to implement Teardrop Technique by watching the video below.

In this cosmetology education video, you’ll see the London Hairdresser of the Year 2010, Skyler McDonald demonstrate what is Teardrop Technique and how it is implemented. Skyler features soft sides allowing the ear lobes to peep through, and tapered layers at the back with a long disconnected front creating this very gorgeous teardrop shape.

I hope watching this cosmetology education video will inspire you to try out the Teardrop Technique in your salon/school.

Successful salons give lot of importance for providing customer service as it strengthens their reputation and image. A happy and satisfied client becomes your evangelist and may refer more clients.

The current economic conditions aren’t too favorable and every salon cannot afford to invest time and money in training their staff about effective customer services.

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.
