A Hairdressing Rescue Like No Other - Tabathas Salon Takeover - S3 EP02 - Reality TV

[@strawberrybird7319]

Alexis is so delusional. She doesn’t want her stylists opinion, but at the same time she wants them to run the salon for her. That’s not how this works. Also saying she wants to get a hairdressing license just to basically rub it in her staffs face?! What??

[@attomicchicken]

Has degrees up the wazoo but isn't educated in the slightest.

[@TheGennen]

Alexis is putting minimum effort into the salon and then gets annoyed that everyone is asking her to be more involved because she's busy with "more important things".

[@brookerafferty7362]

The way she sees learning the trade as simply something to throw in her staffs faces speaks VOLUMES about her.

[@susanmarshall9118]

it was an odd fantasy, and showed how little she understands that she thinks she could just nip off and learn how to do it all

[@kimhamilton9804]

Alexis is a narcissist. She thinks she’s superior to everyone and then when she gets hit with the truth she can’t deal with it and attacks or plays victim !! Poor husband! And staff!!

[@fionabee8426]

Exactly my thought

[@heatherbruce1668]

100%

[@658Chrissy]

The husband enables her. He needs to grow a pair!

[@ItsMe-yv9jd]

That poor guy married a toxic mess and his business was ruined as a result... those poor children will be traumatised for 18 years, until they are old enough to escape that monster. (Hopefully they did not inherit her mental issues and the father divorced her and has full-time custody of his kids.)

If you have someone like Alexis in Management there is nothing you can do to make your Business not go down the drain.not the best stylists, the most beautiful salon or the best spot in the city.

[@elysemorgan1854]

Well said miss porkchop

[@joelarama]

Alexis basically failed the business. She clearly has some kind of trauma and mental health issues. Her need to control is so overwhelming her it’s palpable. I used to have a boss in a salon who behaved exactly like her. It’s unsettling being around such high level neurosis. Please get some therapy Alexis otherwise your child will feel your pains too.

[@toshkandrekes6766]

Thought exactly the same thing

[@elysemorgan1854]

She’s a complete narcissist

[@user-hy2qo6lj2q]

It looks a lot like narcissistic personality. Easy to fool people in the corporate world where you can simply spout meaningless buzzwords whilst hiding your lack of real contribution behind layers of bureaucracy and push responsibilities onto your subordinates but in a practical service providing, small business she was exposed for the empty vessel she really is.

[@briarelyse5136]

Alexis needed to stay home and do the books and let Tim run the business.

[@Bjorksbackyard]

Tim doesn’t know any better, he’s useless

[@TattooedLuna]

That’s what I was thinking!

[@dramanda7296]

an MBA is useless if you can't make good use of it. alexis's academic arrogance is misplaced and so disrespectful to the expertise of these hairdressers

[@cuteduckdontlie4636]

She’s speaking about her high end diploma I’m pretty sure the institution she studied before has watched this episode they would had think twice giving her a diploma. Education starts respecting and appreciating other professionals.

[@fashunpuss6279]

[@thegreenmanofnorwich]

I just looked up some of the reviews and they tended to be "stylists are fantastic, management is appalling"

[@tmfromdenmark9158]

They did not deserve a staff or a business. She is so spoiled and think she is so much better, What a snob😡

[@scouser2010ify]

Let’s be real cutting hair is a talent it’s not as easy as it looks and any stylist that makes it look simple has major talent

[@potocatepetl]

Actually one can become a decent hair cutter with a lot of practice and a good teacher. Sure one needs talent to be at the level Tabetha is, but let's be honest, most of them are not.

[@nightangel6666]

It’s unnerving how much need she has to tell everybody that she is better than they are. She has learned nothing at all and she respects nobody. No wonder they didn’t succeed .

[@thegreenmanofnorwich]

I wonder if she flaunts her credentials because she's afraid of looking within and finding nothing

[@sarac2692]

The stuff coming out of Alexis' mouth, WOW. Sad to see Tabatha getting pissed off. As for the ending, well I won't spoil it for anybody 😅

[@imlewisblackman]

This woman Alexis is DELUSIONAL and was infuriating to watch.

[@scouser2010ify]

She really annoyed me to no end she doesn’t deserve success she’s horrible

[@jogrant3851]

So much potential that one narcissist single-handedly is intent on taking down. Appears that the business feeds her personality needs. I feel so much for the amazing staff and the downtrodden husband.

[@citytrees1752]

It's incredible the damage that one overbearing, moronic narcissist can do. Magna Cum Laude does not mean you're smart.

[@paulbrown6464]

Let’s hope the staff are all doing well far away from that woman

[@seniorenyore]

alexis decided to use the hair dressing lesson as a "oh see, it's not that hard. look i can do it too" instead of using the exercise for what it was meant to be, to show them its precise work and that they obviously know what they're doing.

[@thegreenmanofnorwich]

It sounded like she thought that cosmetology education could be done in two or three afternoons.

[@36993020]

They had a dream team of stylists. They were lucky and had no idea

[@saralouise2776]

Felt empathy for the receptionist. I’m dyslexic just recently started a new job. My dyslexic brain is wired differently I get things eventually and once I get it can often be more efficient than others but often not before people get fed up with me.

[@christinegilbert5082]

I really felt for the receptionist too. Alexis targetted her to be a scapegoat

[@QueenAmethyst55]

Me too. They were clipping her wings every move she made. I also felt it insensitive to tell her she was on a probationary period in front of all the others. She looked close to tears and I don't blame her. Poor girl 😢

[@chelseasmith8164]

Alexis going to beauty school would be a nightmare lol I just know she'd start parading around the salon acting like she knew everything because she practiced on a couple of doll heads

[@downtown82]

We should find out because this was like 20 years ago.

[@akumayoxiruma]

I think based on what this reality television show has displayed of her, she might want to consider searching for an employment position at another business where she has more experience in.

[@rajaabokhari]

He's the definition of an enabler. Just because the wife appears more vocal, it doesn't save the husband from the fact that he takes no action and tells employees to put up with a bad boss.

[@mitra2830]

Alexis: I graduated summa cumulate Me: oh congratulations.... At what capacity?

[@izibear4462]

They had extremely talented hairdressers which are very difficult to find in the US!

[@annwilliams6438]

ALL the stylists should be able to do each other’s hair whenever they have a break AND after hours if they have time for each other. Stylists with great hair themselves is ALWAYS a big boost for a salon. It is NOT a treat, it is NOT a pick up boost, it is NOT a seniority issue - it is MARKETING.

[@Dragonrdh]

Alexis has no business sense, she just knows how to pass exams in college.

[@m.bplus3623]

I felt really sorry for Tabatha. The transformation of the salon was beautiful.. She didn't need that spoilt, intitled, uppity person saying she's disappointed she didn't get a new fridge! That was an absolutely rude! Plus when the staff were brought to her house as VIP's she was disappointed. She definitely thinks they are below her! couldn't stand that

[@gerdacoetzer3615]

People say Tabatha is cold. I think she is just fare she is brilliant in her trade and love what she's doing. And the way she stood up for the stylist it's beautiful. 😊

[@tangiacollins5317]

I love watching Tabitha , she sees immediately what fails these businesses. She has to be hard, or people wouldn't listen . None of us like to be told our faults, she does an incredible job helping these businesses to succeed. This episode I couldn't believe how arrogant and stupid the owners were, they had great staff the only toxic thing was the pathetic owners...can't help people who don't want to help themselves

An MBA, a degree or any other academic certification doesn't actually equal intelligence and it certainly doesn't mean a person has common sense and empathy! Clearly this woman is only interested in herself and her own self-importance! I couldn't work for someone like her, and her husband needs to grow a pair!!!

[@SamHughesBRITNEY]

The women owner is on another planet. Also that young receptionist isn’t right for reception, her posture, facial expressions and attitude.

[@scouser2010ify]

Yeah she doesn’t seem right for a front desk situation

[@shaannun]

I'd say she feels defeated and that is why she is the way she is. Everytime Alexis deals with her she is talking down to her or taking over her position. Also she has had no training and she has only been there a month but from the sounds of it has only worked about three days on the desk, Alexis did the rest. If you recall the staff say that she has been 'yelled' at 16 times in the last four weeks. I would back away and go quiet myself as well She was fighting a losing battle from the beginning and she knows it. No matter what she does there will be no pleasing Alexis. Alexis needs someone there untrained so that she can feed her ego by putting them down, seriously messed up woman with sever control issues.

There is a reason why she was no longer doing that.

[@42ayla]

She belongs in corporate America... taking the lunch order... then the flack for getting it wrong. There are countries that believe that everyone should have to spend time in the military. I think the American version should be that everyone needs to live a couple years in a blue collar position. Not just the work but the life. How are you going to be a decent boss if you don't know what your business actually entails? Having a McCrappy job as a teenager isn't enough.

There's authority based on knowledge, & then there's authority based on power. Alexis knows she doesn't have authority in the salon based on her knowledge or experience, so she asserts her authority as the boss. She constantly asserts her power to fire people, constantly asserts her power to order others around. She's a tyrant because she knows everyone in the salon knows more about the business than she does. She treats her staff badly because she knows they're better at their jobs than she is at hers.
