12 Hair Product Line Success Stories [2023]

Hi! My name is Mikey Moran and I am one of the owners of Private Label Extensions. We started this company a little over 5 years ago to create another option for women looking for amazing quality hair and entrepreneurs looking to get into the hair industry.

We’ve made a lot of mistakes during our business journey but have learned from them all and have seen an increase in business. We went from selling a few thousand dollars a month to over $650,000 monthly and even had a $1,000,000 month. One of our biggest accomplishments was being ranked #278 of the fastest-growing companies by Inc Magazine for 2018.

We’re Chris Healy and Lindsay Barto, founders of The Longhairs. Our flagship product is Hair Ties For Guys™, the finest hair ties in the world, offering these and other superior products for men with long hair on our website, thelonghairs.us.

We started our business in 2014 without a following, and over four years we’ve grown our audience to 60K monthly website visitors, 20K email subscribers, and 28K YouTube subscribers, with monthly revenue of $30K.

I am Leslie Wheeler, Founder of Bristle Products and Owner of Bristle Hair Shop. I have had a passion for hair and skin care products from an early age. I am the youngest of a family of 4 girls, on a tight budget growing up in Detroit, my mom allowed us to each pick our own shampoo out so we wouldn’t fight over sharing a bottle. I remember taking a long time to decide which bottle I wanted and could stand there for a long time strolling and staring at the different packaging and of course, smelling each one, doesn’t everyone do that?

Hello to all entrepreneurs out there! My name is Nathan Failla, I am of the founder of the on the go hair care company PocketGel. The idea for PocketGel and initial groundwork started in late September of 2015 and we have been striving to style your hair while you’re on the go ever since!

Our best seller or I should say “sellers” are both the fiber pomade and pomade. We sell a near even amount of both types of styling products with pomade having less than a 5% gain over fiber pomade. We attribute the popularity of both products due to current men's hairstyle trends.

My name is Lindsey McCoy and I am the CEO of Plaine Products, a hair and body care products company dedicated to ridding the world of single-use plastic bottles--one bathroom at a time. We’ve replaced the standard plastic shampoo bottle, found in shower shelves just about everywhere, with a reusable, refillable aluminum one. From there, our concept is simple. Instead of tossing the empty bottles into the recycling bin, our customers return them to us. We clean, sterilize and refill the empty bottles, and then send them out again.

When my family returned to the States, I joined forces with my sister, Alison Webster, and we focused on creating a packaging revolution. Our customers, like us, are interested in a more eco-friendly lifestyle, the appeal of which is becoming broader and broader each day. So far, with our customers, we have diverted over 300,000 plastic bottles from our landfills and oceans.

My name is Eli Halliwell and I’m the co-founder and CEO of Hairstory, a company dedicated to rethinking everything about hair in a world where the old rules no longer apply.

Hello! I am Becky Bavli, the founder and CEO of T is for Tame. I started the company about 5 years ago when my twins were born with hair and I couldn’t find clean products to tame it. Every morning they would wake up with their hair either standing up, in knots, or all over the place. When my husband started licking his hands to tame it, I knew there had to be a better way!
