What happened on the show
This season five episode brought the takeover to House of Synergy, a salon and spa in Long Beach, California, owned by a masseur and offering services that included teeth whitening. The show ran on Coffey's set sequence: an inside look at the operation, blunt assessments of the staff and owner, a team shakeup, and a renovation reveal. Because no synopsis survives for this installment, we do not reconstruct the specific incidents. The documented facts are the format, the salon's unusual service mix, and the setting, a salon and spa in Long Beach taken through the overnight process. Coffey's premise held, that a business reflects its leadership, and that the intervention's purpose was an honest reset before the makeover. The recurring lesson was that even an unusual mix of services rises or falls on how it is led.
After the cameras left
House of Synergy has closed. The business relocated from the Belmont Heights area of Long Beach to a mall in Redondo Beach as Synergy Day Spa, and a Facebook post announced that after twenty six years serving the community the day spa would be closing effective immediately, dated around July 2024. The closure text was read from a search snippet rather than a direct re fetch, and the relocation chain relies on address and founding year matching, so we hold the closure at moderate confidence.
