Los Angeles, California

What happened on the show
This second season episode set the takeover in Los Angeles, California, at a salon on York Boulevard. The show ran on Coffey's reliable structure, an inside look at how the salon operated, assessments delivered without softening, a shakeup of the staff, and a renovation ending in a reveal. Because no synopsis survives for this installment, we do not reconstruct the specific scenes. The documented ground is the format and the setting, a Refuge hair salon in Los Angeles worked through the overnight process. Coffey's argument was the one she brings everywhere, that a struggling salon usually reflects a leadership problem more than a styling one, and that her role was to make an owner see that clearly before deciding what the renovation should fix.
After the cameras left
Refuge Salon is open. An active Facebook page with a strong rating across dozens of reviews sits at the York Boulevard address in Los Angeles, a business registry lists Refuge Salon as a registered entity, and neighborhood and review listings are consistent. The active social presence and business registration make this a high confidence survivor. The Los Angeles salon came through its takeover and continues to operate.
