And she just earned herself a fresh nuking, as Tabatha spits "Oh no, you need to practice... and you need to practice with taking sections, not taking it off in one foul swoop because that does not make an even haircut, my dear! That's why you need to practice!" Alli's response as Lady T is walking away from her? "Thankssssss, Tabatha... you're so nice." Oh please, please, please, let this be the episode somebody finally gets fired! I want to see if her expression changes at all!
Looks like Katie Bitchceptionist™ is working to become just a plain old REceptionist as she's being very kind to the waiting clients and making sure they have what they need to be comfortable. Tabatha gives her some good solid compliments on letting her personality shine through. Yay for Katie! She still scares me, though.
It looks like Lauren "I'm Likely To Fry Somebody's Hair Clean Off" is having difficulty making her foils look neat, and wow, Kristin actually steps in to try and help her out! Yay for leaders and teamwork! But back over at Alli Airhead's station, Tabatha wants to know how much longer she's going to be with her client, because she's overdue for her next one, who is now waiting and packing on the pounds in the lobby at their deliciously fattening food spread. Meanwhile, Alli is blowdrying her client and directing the airflow straight at Tabatha's face while she waits for Alli to answer! Passive-aggressive, but kinda funny, Alli.
Uh-oh, Lauren "I'm Likely To Run Out Of Things To Likely Have Happen To Me" has a client over at the shampoo sink who is complaining of her scalp burning, and Lauren just walked away! When Tabatha follows her into the back room and mentions this client's complaint, Lauren just shrugs and says "That comes with a base-break." Tabatha is aghast at her blasé attitude as she interviews "Hello! It's not supposed to burn!" and to Lauren, Lady T says "Yeah, but a client shouldn't be sitting there with their scalp burning." and Lauren stutters "Well, I-I-I... wasn't aware of that... until you told me right now." and keeps on mixing color. "All right, so now you're aware of it, and it needs to be addressed!" says TabbyKat and walks out rolling her eyes at the camera.
Lauren "I'm Likely To Get Beat Down In The Next Ten Minutes" interviews "She needs medication... an anti-depressant maybe... make her a little happier... cuz she really seems miserable!" That's a good idea, Lauren, how about give her one of yours? And if I had to stare at Lauren's mug and listen to that nasal and grating voice murdering the English Language in new and exotic ways every day, I'd prolly wind up on Zoloft, too. After Tabatha leaves, Lauren calls her a bitch behind her back...
...well, actually, being to scared to say it out loud, she just mouths it!...
The long, long day is ending, clients are leaving looking happy and radiant, and Tabatha takes Tara and Kristin into the back office to chat about stuff... she's really impressed with the way both of them jumped in and took control, and as a way of reminding them to keep strong, she presents them with this...
...and she autographed it, too!...
On the serious side, Tabatha says that whenever she approached Alli she got attitude, giggles and completely flustered behavior. Tara says that sometimes Alli "doesn't think things out very well before she says things." Tabatha will go her one better: "I don't know how much she can think!" Owie. Eh, but true.
Moving on to Kristin and chatting about Lauren "I'm Likely To Be Crying Soon", Tabatha says that she seems to think she knows what she's doing... but really she doesn't. Kristin tries to step up and says that as Head Colorist she takes responsibility for Lauren's skills not being where they should be, and that they really need to work on that. Tabatha is a little clearer in her assessment: "From the things I saw today, with her communication level and the things she said to clients, that will be very detrimental to your business...!" Oh wow, are they really gonna get rid of somebody? Or somebodies? This would be a first (and I'm sorry, I'm sure they're nice girls... or at least one of them is, anyhow... but if you suck that bad at your job, you really should find another one that you can, you know, actually do... or maybe consider going to this funny place they have called "cosmetology school").

Fabulous recap again J-Mo. You never fail to make me laugh at my computer screen in the middle of the office (it's okay, they all just think I'm insane...wait, that's not okay, hmmm, maybe I should do work).
There's something about a show where someone yells at idiots that attracts me. Then you add someone (you) making sarcastic comments about said show and it's like a confluence of hilarity.
I gotta say though, there's something in me that just wants people like this to fail. They just seem to plain stupid to be successful at anything. Of course I'm also a mean, cold, jerkass (not a doctor though).

i still wish ralphie was my daddy. esp after seeing your screengrabs. jealous of tabbs a lil in the kissyface one. and is it wrong that "I'll tell you how to fix that, Daddy Ralphie. Get a taser" was a bit of turn on for me???
as always, you have all of my love. and "OMG, what in Jeebus' name is a "Brazilian relaxer"? Is that like getting your pubes straightened? Ew." BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAA LOVE IT!!!! i was thinking the exact same thing. just sounds so terribly, terribly wrong.
p.s. if lovin' your nubile jailbait ass is wrong, i don't wanna be right. although i'm younger than you. and a woman. and not a priest. meh.
p.p.s. oprah still sucks. *MWAH* hahahahahaHAAHAHAAAA

Great recap (of course).
I ended up liking most of these people and I wanted them to be a success.
You are right to point out that hair care is a career that can't be outsourced to India! And I've worked in all those (horrible) environments you named that can be. (Thanks for the nightmares!)
I agree about so many kids growing up without a sense of where money comes from. I think they should just have the basics unless they are willing to work to earn more. No matter how much thier parents have. (But, I guess we'll always have Paris!)

Hi Darling J-Mo,
I think you should write an etiquette book in your own indominitable style.
Love your recap,
Yenta

J-Mo;
Great job as always! I just can't believe those two skanks were so stupid and selfish before "T" showed up. Spoiled ________ (fill in favorite name here). Keep up the good work.
Lots O' Love

DrJerkAss... awww, shucks, thank you (and hey, thanks for coming to my aid over on that other thread the other day, wasn't that weird?) you're peaches in my book! Oh, and yes, I agree with you, sometimes privileged people work my last nerve, too, especially when they don't appreciate it like the Gruesome Twosome...
AuJew... no problem, I think we should all be building each other's work up, y'know? Can I say, though, that I would not be surprised in the LEAST to find out that you might enjoy electrical shock in an erotic sense? Oprah would not approve, but fuck her.
fire@will... LOL, sorry about the work nightmares, but I've done time in all those industries as well, and often longed for some kind of talent in cosmetics that would afford me a casually fabulous lifestyle complete with drinking lattés and whizzing around town in a sporty red convertible with the top down and my long luxurious blonde hair blowing in the wind, ready to assist with any kind of hairdressing emergency that may crop up (like, say, StylistMan™!) Alas, those dreams will never come true, and hell, these Medicare D claims ain't gonna just process themselves, y'know, so I plug away at the things I can do and vent my frustrations on these poor people who have foolishly agreed to appear on a reality TV show for our collective amusement. You're quite kind as always, though...
rubinia... Honey, that was too funny, and I wish I could take credit for it as a screencap, but actually it was a still shot from BravoTV[dot]com... but that was the first thing that popped into my head when I saw it (and that's what I usually go with when I write recaps and captions) so I'm glad you enjoyed it, too!
yenta-honey... the love is mutual... maybe I will try to put out "J-Mo's Etiquette For Specific Social Situations" later on this year, although many would probably find me to be in violation of many of my own imagined rules, so I dunno how well it would go over... but you're sweet for the suggestion!
detinha... LOL, thanks... honestly, I really couldn't tell who that picture was supposed to be! Can anyone help me out with that? I feel disconnected from pop culture when I can't identify someone I feel I should know, y'know?
arizonatom... thank you for the love, you're sweet as always...
I promise I'm working on the new episode of Salon Takeover, I should hopefully have it finished by tonight or tomorrow... thanks as always for all your comments, you guys always give me such warm fuzzy love...
love, J-Mo :)
