What happened after
Yelp listing for 'Allure Salon' at 3405 Main Hwy (Coconut Grove/Miami) is marked closed. Original salon dated to 1994, owner Pablo Hernandez since 2005, consistent with the pre-episode (2009) business. A 2024-dated Wix site ('alluresalon2024') suggests a relaunch attempt but could not be confirmed live.
What happened on the show
The second season brought the takeover to Coconut Grove, Florida, for this salon episode. The show ran on Coffey's reliable method rather than a preserved storyline: an immersive look at the operation, unsparing assessments of staff and leadership, a shakeup of the team, and a renovation reveal to close. No synopsis survives to record the specific moments, so we leave them unstated. What is documented is the format and the salon, an Allure hair business in the Coconut Grove area of Miami that dated to 1994, under an owner who had run it since 2005, placing it well into its life at the time of filming. Coffey's argument was the usual one, that a salon's real problems live with the people running it, and that the intervention existed to make that visible before the makeover.
After the cameras left
Allure has closed. A Yelp listing for Allure Salon in the Coconut Grove and Miami area is marked closed. The salon's history, dating to 1994 under an owner since 2005, is consistent with the pre episode business. A 2024 dated Wix site suggests a possible relaunch attempt but could not be confirmed as live. No specific closure date was found, and the Yelp closed tag is the primary evidence, so we hold the closure at moderate confidence.
