Brownes & Co.

What happened on the show

The second season took the takeover to Miami, Florida, for this salon episode set on the famous Lincoln Road. As with the rest of the run, the show followed Coffey's format rather than a surviving narrative: an immersive look at the operation, blunt assessments of staff and leadership, a team shakeup, and a renovation reveal. No synopsis for this installment survives, so we do not reconstruct the specific incidents. What is documented is the format and the business, a Brownes and Co. salon operating on Lincoln Road since 1995, making it a long established Miami room at the time of filming. Coffey's throughline held, that even a long running salon can lose its way through leadership, and that the value of the intervention was an honest reset.

After the cameras left

Brownes and Co. has closed. Miami New Times reported that the Lincoln Road location, operating since 1995 and latterly known as Brownes Merchants and Trading, closed on May 31, 2019. The local news report with a specific closure date makes this a high confidence closure. A separate Design District listing shows as active in some directories but could not be confirmed as a continuation of the same Lincoln Road business featured on the show.
