Each episode opens with Tabatha meeting the owner(s) of the business she will be helping, reviewing the current state of the business, and discussing footage captured in the business earlier that day. Afterwards Tabatha asks for the keys to the company and the takeover starts. After about 6 weeks, Tabatha comes back to see if and how the business has changed. In March 2011, it was announced that the series would be rebranded as 'Tabatha Takes Over' as it then took over not only more hair salons, but several other small businesses as well.
