In season 4 episode 4 of Tabatha Takes Over, Tabatha visits Pat's Hair Shoppe in Douglasville, GA. Pat's Hair Shoppe has been operating for 29 years, but the owner, Pat, has lost control of the salon and the staff. The salon's decor is outdated, and the staff lacks motivation.
Tabatha enters the salon and is immediately horrified by what she sees. The salon is cluttered and outdated, and the staff is unprofessional. The first things she notices are the mismatched chairs and dirty floors. She introduces herself to the staff and learns that they have never had any training.
Tabatha sits down with Pat, and they both discuss the salon's problems. Pat admits that she has lost control and needs Tabatha's help. Tabatha makes it clear that she is not there for small talk and expects everyone to work towards turning the salon around.
Tabatha does a walkthrough of the salon and notices that the retail area is non-existent. She believes that selling products is a crucial part of the salon's success and convinces the team to start selling hair products. She also takes the staff shopping for new salon equipment and uniforms.
Tabatha observes the staff while they work and immediately notices a lack of communication and teamwork. Instead of working together, the stylists work in isolation, and there is no structure. Tabatha sets up a meeting where she encourages the staff to work together to create a plan to improve the salon's services.
With Tabatha's help, the salon undergoes a complete makeover. The salon's new decor and updated equipment breathe new life into the business. The staff is more motivated and is now able to work together as a team.
Tabatha's last challenge for the team is to host a hair show to showcase their new skills and services. The show brings in a lot of new customers, and the salon experiences a surge in business.
The episode ends with Tabatha leaving the salon, confident that she has helped Pat and the staff get back on track. The salon now looks professional, and the staff has the skills and confidence to succeed in the beauty industry.
