To Catch a Beautician is a makeover show that premiered on VH1 in May 2020. Hosted by Tamar Braxton, the show follows hairstylist Johnny Wright and beauty influencer Milah Dee as they help disgruntled clients confront the hairstylists who have given them bad haircuts or color jobs.
Each episode of the show starts with a client who has recently had a bad hair experience. They describe their hair woes to Tamar, who then introduces them to Johnny and Milah. Johnny is a celebrity hairstylist who has worked with the likes of Michelle Obama and Oprah Winfrey, while Milah is a popular beauty influencer known for her expertise in hair care.
The client meets with Johnny and Milah to talk about their hair history and what went wrong with their most recent hair appointment. Johnny and Milah then reveal that they will be sending an undercover stylist to the salon where the client had their bad experience to see if they can catch the hairstylist in the act of doing something wrong.
The undercover stylist goes to the salon and films their entire appointment, looking out for whether the stylist is using outdated techniques, not listening to the client's needs, or just generally providing poor service. If they see something troubling, they will signal to Johnny and Milah, who will then confront the stylist.
Once the stylist has been caught, Tamar brings the client back to the salon to confront them. The hairstylist is often defensive at first, but after hearing the client's perspective and the feedback from Johnny and Milah, they usually start to see where they went wrong.
The hairstylist then gets a chance to redeem themselves by giving the client a new haircut or color that will hopefully make up for the previous mistakes. Johnny and Milah give the stylist guidance on how to improve their skills and techniques to prevent similar issues from happening in the future.
The show has received praise for tackling an issue that many people can relate to. There are few things more frustrating than receiving a bad haircut or color, and To Catch a Beautician provides an avenue for clients to get their grievances heard while giving hairstylists a chance to learn and grow from their mistakes.
The chemistry between the hosts and the clients is often heartwarming, and it's clear that Tamar, Johnny, and Milah genuinely want to help people feel confident and beautiful. The show is also helpful for viewers at home, as Johnny and Milah provide hair care tips and suggestions for finding a good stylist.
Overall, To Catch a Beautician is a fun and helpful makeover show that offers a fresh perspective on the beauty industry. It's not just about getting a new haircut or color; it's about communication, learning, and improving. Whether you're a beauty enthusiast or just someone who likes a good before-and-after transformation, this show is definitely worth checking out.
