The Longhairs Shark Tank Update

The Longhairs Shark Tank Pitch

Lindsay Barto and Chris Healey appeared on Shark Tank Season 9, Episode 16, which aired on January 13, 2018, with accessories for men with long hair.

The Longhairs is listed in the Cosmetics Beauty category. In plain terms, the business is described as accessories for men with long hair.

The Longhairs asked the Sharks for $95,000 for 10%, implying a valuation of about $950,000.

On the show, The Longhairs made a listed deal with Mark Cuban for $100,000 for 20%.

If treated as straight equity, the listed deal works out to about $500,000 implied valuation, down from the original $950,000 implied valuation.

This pitch is included as context for the more important question: what happened after Shark Tank.
