The new season of “Tabatha’s Salon Takeover” opened in Chicago! The salon featured was Orbit Salon in Lakeview, within walking distance from Wrigley Field, premieres Tuesday, November 3 at 10 p.m. ET/PT. It’s not just about a salon, but about how to run a business, have pride in your work, and take responsibility for even seemingly mundane details.

With the economy contributing to the dire situations of fledgling small business owners nationwide, Tabatha hits the metropolitan cities of Los Angeles, Chicago and Miami to work with ten different beauty salons literally about to go under.

She found a filthy, disorganized establishment, some sloppy habits and a staff with no direction. “It was a really emotional episode for me, and it was a really emotional episode for everyone else,” says Tabatha.

With 19 years of experience in the industry, Tabatha first came onto the scene on the set of another Bravo show, Shear Genius, where she won Fan Favorite. Her salon, Industrie Hair Gurus, is in Ridgewood, New Jersey.
