What is Tabatha Coffey's Net Worth?

Tabatha Coffey, an Australian hairstylist, salon owner, and television personality based in the United States, boasts a net worth of $6 million. Coffey gained initial fame as a contestant on the television show "Shear Genius" in 2007 before being given her own television show, "Tabatha Takes Over," in 2008, where she helped struggling hair salons achieve success.

Early Life

Born on May 17, 1969, in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia, Tabatha Coffey was raised in Surfers Paradise, a suburb in the City of Gold Coast. At 14, she started working as an assistant in a local salon and subsequently enrolled in a four-year apprenticeship program in Australia. After completing her apprenticeship, she moved to London to continue her training in hair styling, eventually relocating to the United States to advance her career.

Career

Coffey opened her salon, Industrie Hair Gurus, in Ridgewood, New Jersey, and occasionally worked out of the Warren-Tricomi salon in West Hollywood. Known for her ability to create unique and specialized looks for her clients, she also worked as a platform artist for Joico International, conducting hair shows and teaching professionals how to use their product line globally.

Her television debut on Bravo's reality show "Shear Genius" in 2007 marked the beginning of her TV career. Despite auditioning out of curiosity, Coffey quickly became known for her outspoken nature and intensity. She was a front-runner for most of the show but was eliminated in the sixth episode due to poor teamwork with her partner Tyson. Nonetheless, she won $10,000 as the show's Fan Favorite.

Her success on "Shear Genius" led Bravo to offer her a solo reality series, "Tabatha's Salon Takeover." The show, which premiered in August 2008, featured Coffey using her expertise to assist struggling salons. By the fourth season, renamed "Tabatha Takes Over," the show expanded to include other types of businesses, continuing through five seasons until June 2013.
