Tabatha Coffey is an Australian hairstylist, salon owner, and television personality based in the United States.
She works regularly as an editorial stylist for top fashion and beauty publications, including Seventeen, Marie Claire, and Mademoiselle.
[7] Coffey was first introduced to American audiences when she became a contestant in the Bravo reality show Shear Genius.
She was a front-runner in the competition, winning most of the challenges during her stay, but she was eliminated in the sixth episode, along with her teammate for the day, Tyson.
The show was renamed Tabatha Takes Over for its fourth season where she used the same formulas to invigorate other types of businesses such as bars and restaurants.
[citation needed] An out member of the LGBT community, Coffey has mentioned in interviews that she struggled with revealing her sexuality to her family, specifically her mother, with whom she was very close.
In a 2024 interview with People magazine, she revealed that Keeler had been diagnosed with stage 4 glioblastoma in 2014, and suffered a stroke in 2018, which severely limited her speech and mobility.
"[12] Coffey partnered with a creative director named Ty Jennings to co-found ThriveHive, a web-based support service offering member events, community forums, and classes to those seeking personal and professional development.
