Perfect for you if...

  • You're drawn to no-nonsense advice from people who've built something real and aren't afraid to tell hard truths.
  • You work in a creative field or business and want to learn how someone turned personality and conviction into success.
  • You're tired of self-help books that soft-pedal difficult topics—you want raw, funny, honest stories instead.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You prefer celebrity memoirs that focus mainly on glamorous behind-the-scenes stories rather than philosophy.
  • You're looking for a deep technical guide to salon business—this is more personal philosophy than operational manual.
  • You find blunt talk off-putting or prefer motivational writing that's more gentle and affirming.

About this book

Tabatha Coffey, star of the Bravo show Tabatha's Salon Takeover, is known for her direct and honest commentary. While many admire her unflinching approach and determination, she has faced criticism and name-calling. She has reclaimed the word "bitch" to represent her values: Brave, Intelligent, Tenacious, Creative, and Honest. In this book, Coffey shares personal experiences from her life to help readers connect with their own strength and authenticity. She discusses how she developed her signature style, approach to relationships, life decisions, and work ethic—which she describes as resembling "a pit bull with a bone." She reflects on the people and circumstances that shaped her, including her mother, mentors, peers, and clients, and how these influences led her to honesty, self-assurance, and success. Combining memoir, business advice, and guidance on self-acceptance, the book conveys that it is acceptable to be yourself, stand up for your beliefs, and pursue what makes you happy without allowing others to define you. Coffey's account encourages readers to recognize and celebrate their own authentic self.
