Tabathas Salon Takeover Season 3 is getting more and more exciting as it covers more salons. Last night was Episode 5 of the reality show in which Tabatha Coffey visited Avanti Salon in Boston.
Tabatha had to confront an insubordinate staff and a push-over owner who thought the salon should run itself. However, Tabatha had to toughen up salon owner Alex to change Avanti into a high-end salon worthy of Newbury Street.
In Tabatha’s words:
Avanti salon was in a prime location, not a bad looking salon, but it lacked leadership, rules, structure, teamwork, and accountability. Stylists were doing whatever they wanted, assistants were doing nothing. I really felt like I was starting to break through to the staff, but I was having a problem with Alex. He just wasn’t stepping up and being a leader.
Alex Iacobacci, owner of Avanti, had ignored his responsibilities and let his stylists run wild in his rundown Newbury Street salon. Their unprofessional behavior had driven away the high-end clientele, leaving the salon broke. Tabatha had to work hard and challenged them to change their unprofessional ways and strive to make their salon worthy of the “Best of Boston” list.
Tabatha had to work hard to fix the salon business of Avanti and change the attitude of the staff. In the end she managed it well, and said “I am really proud of the staff at Avanti and of Alex. They saw where they needed to change, they embraced it, and I have high hopes they will make the “Best of Boston” list.”
