Tabatha Takes Over · S2 E8
Chicago Male Salon & Spa
Chicago, Illinois
This one survived. It remains in business.
The short answer
Official site (chicagomalesalon.com) describes an active men's grooming salon in Boystown/Lakeview; Yelp shows 231 reviews (4.2/5) at 3418 N Halsted St; Facebook has 8.8K followers.
What happened on the show
The takeover returned to Chicago, Illinois, for this second season episode at a men's grooming salon and spa. The show followed Coffey's set sequence, an immersive look at the business, unvarnished assessments of the staff and owner, a restructuring of the team, and a renovation reveal to close. No synopsis has survived to record the specific moments, so we leave those unstated rather than invent them. The documented facts are the format and the business, a men's salon and spa in the Lakeview area of Chicago on North Halsted Street. Coffey's premise applied as always, that a grooming business lives or dies on how it is led and how consistently it treats its clients, and that the intervention existed to force an honest reckoning before the makeover.
After the cameras left
Chicago Male Salon and Spa is open. Its official site describes an active men's grooming salon in the Boystown and Lakeview area, Yelp shows a couple hundred reviews with a strong rating at the North Halsted Street address, and its Facebook carries thousands of followers. The live official site and heavy review and social activity make this a high confidence survivor. A durable Chicago men's grooming business years after its takeover.
