If you weren’t lucky enough to nab a hot seat at the national Tabatha Coffey seminar tour recently presented by Joico, then best bury your head in this light but valuable read by our home grown reality TV star; It’s Not Really About the Hair by Tabatha Coffey, The Honest Truth about Life, Love and the Business of Beauty.
The self-proclaimed bitch (Bravery, Intelligence, Tenacity, Creativity and Honesty) is the driving force behind Arena’s successful Tabatha’s Salon Takeover series, and has an incredible story to tell. Not only will you gather insightful information on how to better your salon business, but there are many life lessons to be learned – wise anecdotes from this refreshingly honest talent whose tough childhood years have proved a blessing in disguise.
Not busting for a copy yet? Here’s a teaser from the book’s introduction.
The kids at school ridiculed me for being different, and I was different—I didn’t think like them, I didn’t act like them, and being the fat kid, I also didn’t look like them. What’s more, I actually viewed being different as a positive attribute more than a problem. If I was a round peg and the hole was square, well, then others would need to change the hole to accommodate me, because I sure as hell wasn’t going to accommodate them.

Although my life in the clubs was full of fantasy and glamour, it was also punctuated by Dad’s alcohol-fueled mood swings, and was completely turned upside down when he suddenly disappeared and left my family with no money. Watching my mother pick up the pieces and keep us going taught me that in order to survive, you must take responsibility for your own actions and never trust anyone more than you trust yourself. That’s why at a really young age I focused on my own passion and pursued a career as a hairdresser. Following the lead of the transvestite performers in my parents’ clubs, I wanted to create looks that expressed how people felt inside rather than how others perceived them or wanted them to be. Authenticity is—and always has been—the key to who I am and who I want to include in my life.
