Candolyn's: Downtown
Los Angeles, California
Yes. This one is still open.
The short answer
Instagram account (@candolynssalon, 124 followers) matches the California Plaza address (350 S Grand Ave) from the original episode. Modest follower count and no dated recent post limits confidence to medium.
What happened on the show
The first season closed its run of salon takeovers with this episode set in downtown Los Angeles. As with the rest of the season, the show followed Coffey's format rather than a preserved narrative: she embeds in the salon, delivers her trademark blunt evaluations of the staff and the owner, restructures the team, and finishes with a renovation reveal. No synopsis survives to detail the specific incidents, so we do not reconstruct them. What is documented is the format and the setting, a salon in a downtown Los Angeles plaza taken through the overnight process. Coffey's throughline was consistent to the end of the season, that a salon mirrors its leadership, and that her role was to make an owner see that clearly before the makeover reset the room.
After the cameras left
Candolyn's appears to be open. An Instagram account matching the California Plaza address on South Grand Avenue in Los Angeles points to a continuing business, alongside a Yellow Pages listing. The modest follower count and absence of a dated recent post limit confidence to moderate. The address continuity with the original episode is the strongest signal, and nothing surfaced pointing toward closure, so the salon reads as a likely survivor.
