Snip, snip! or is it snap, snap?

In March of 2009, hairstyling expert Tabatha Coffey marched into Chicago Male hair salon to help save the struggling business at the invitation of the owner Scott Neesham .

What did she find? An absentee owner with a poor business model, who put his salon in the hands of an ineffective manager and unprofessional staff.

Hell to experience, but fabulous to watch as a TV show.

If only Tabatha could do the same for all the other struggling businesses in Boystown.

Today we take on Bravo’s hit reality TV show Tabatha’s Salon Takeover with one of the hairstylists featured on the show, Donnie Brown.

Join us as we talk with Donnie about the experience, what didn’t make it on the show and all the behind the scenes dirt.

Craiglist queens turning tricks during work hours, Lady Vera Parker’s before and after photos that ominously look like mugshots and calls from listeners like you, taped live!
