Tabatha Takes Over (Tabatha's Salon Takeover) season 4 episode 5, titled "Chill: Ventura, Ca" follows Tabatha as she visits a struggling salon in Ventura, California. The salon, called Chill, was once popular but has recently lost its identity and clientele. The owner, Kae, is a former stylist who took over the salon from the original owner but has been unable to keep it afloat.

Upon arrival, Tabatha immediately notices the disorganization and lack of professionalism in the salon. The stylists are unfocused and appear to lack passion for their work. Kae is overwhelmed and seems unable to take charge and lead her team effectively. Tabatha quickly observes that there is a lack of communication and organization. She intervenes and takes control, mentoring the team and implementing her own strategies to boost morale and increase profits.

Tabatha's first challenge is to address the salon's branding and marketing strategy. She encourages Kae to think outside of the box and come up with new and innovative ways to promote the salon. Tabatha also notices that the salon is cluttered and disorganized, which contributes to the overall lack of professionalism. She works with the team to declutter the space, making it more inviting for clients.

As the episode progresses, Tabatha notices a significant improvement in the salon's overall aesthetic and productivity. The stylists are more confident, the salon is cleaner and more inviting, and the team is more cohesive. Kae is also more confident and has started to take charge of the salon, implementing new policies and procedures that will help the salon succeed in the long term.

In the end, Tabatha leaves the salon in better shape than she found it. The team is more motivated, the salon is cleaner and more organized, and Kae is a stronger leader. The future of the salon looks bright, thanks to Tabatha's guidance and mentoring.
