Tabatha Takes Over · S2 E1
Orbit Salon
Chicago, Illinois
Good outcome here: the business is still trading today.
The short answer
Active Instagram (642 followers) and Facebook, plus a Birdeye listing with 53 reviews; business describes itself as operating since 1986 at 3481 N Clark St.
What happened on the show
Season two opened by taking the format to Chicago, Illinois, and this salon episode followed Coffey's set structure. The takeover sends her into a business to observe it from the inside, assess the staff and the owner without flattery, reshuffle the team where she finds the problems, and stage a renovation that ends in a reveal. Because no synopsis for this installment survives, we do not reconstruct the specific scenes. The documented facts are the format and the business itself, a salon that described itself as operating since 1986 on North Clark Street, making it a long established Chicago room by the time the cameras arrived. Coffey's consistent premise applied here too, that longevity does not protect a salon from drift, and that an honest outside reset can matter even to a business decades into its life.
After the cameras left
Orbit Salon is open. An active Instagram with several hundred followers, an active Facebook, and a review platform listing carrying dozens of reviews all point to a continuing business at the North Clark Street address in Chicago, which describes itself as operating since 1986. The combination of active social accounts and review activity makes this a high confidence survivor. A long established Chicago salon that came through its takeover intact.
