My Mentors & Client Reviews

My Mentors

Tabatha Coffey: Tabatha is well known for her series on the Bravo network called Tabatha’s Salon Takeover. She helps struggling salons turn around in one week. I admire her strong passion for creating a place for clients to enjoy while they are receiving services from their stylists. I like that she isn’t afraid to tell people what she thinks. Some people may view this as rude but she says what everyone is thinking. Her constructive criticism helps salon owners regain control of their salon and turn it back into a profitable business. Tabatha also owns her own salon, and she never raised the prices when she got her own show. She is a strong, passionate woman who works very hard.

Recently I was able to listen to Tabatha inspire and converse with students at Caper (The Paul Mitchell Hair Show) in Las Vegas, Nevada. Tabatha told of an experience when she was first working in a salon and was watching a lady do hair. Tabatha said, “That is super cool how you do that. Can you teach me?” The lady responded with, “No, I don’t give away my secrets to anyone. I keep them.” Tabatha said she realized right then that she didn’t want to be that person. She couldn’t believe that someone that was supposed to be a mentor to her would say that. Tabatha wants to give whatever information she can to whomever she can to make them better and to make them feel better about what they’re doing. Tabitha told us, “Whatever secrets I have, you can have them.” I look up to Tabatha because she wants every stylist to be his or her best. She is humble because she doesn’t talk about how good she is. She wants others to succeed and become all that they can.

Robert Lobetta: Robert is an incredible hair stylist. He has some of the most amazing and interesting hair photo shoots I have seen. He is an extremely talented individual. He discovered the art of using hair as a fiber. I had the opportunity to talk to Robert after he spoke at Caper and he didn’t want to talk about himself. He wanted to know about me and the other students I was with. He wanted to know what we were doing and was happy to be in a picture with us. For someone so artistic and talented he was very modest and had a very kind nature.

Audra Turner: Audra is on the Advanced Academy at Paul Mitchell. She travels all over the country and teaches thousands of students. At Paul Mitchell the School Provo, we are lucky to have her at our school a couple times each month since she lives in Utah. Each time she helps me with a color or haircut I learn so much from her. The classes that Audra teaches are remarkable and I love how well she can communicate. She is entertaining and she makes it easy to listen to her. I look up to her because she is a hard worker, she is passionate about the industry, she’s a tremendous teacher, she has a family, she travels and she even has her own salon!
