With the addition of “Tabatha’s Salon Takeover” to the Monday night lineup, Bravo completes its five nights of original primetime programming, with the current slate of programming including: “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” and “Watch What Happens: Live (Sundays), “Tabatha’s Salon Takeover” (Mondays), “Millionaire Matchmaker” (Tuesdays), “Top Chef All Stars” (Wednesdays), and “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” and “Watch What Happens: Live” (Thursdays).

Next Monday, December 13 at 10PM ET/PT, Tabatha Coffey heads to Brentwood, CA to the Christopher Hill salon, where Tim and Alexis Byk took over eighteen months ago with no prior salon experience. They wrongly assumed that their MBAs and corporate backgrounds would be enough to run the struggling business. But with no respect for hairdressers or the hair industry, they are driving the staff away, and the salon into the ground. Tabatha schools these elitist owners in all things hair, and empowers the beaten down staff. But will Alexis and Tim see the error of their ways and change their attitudes in time to save their salon?
