Legendary Longhairs in Business
Where’s The Long Hair in Business?
It’s no secret long hair on men is considered “unprofessional.” As we’ve often documented, having long hair in business is to have limited vocational options.
That’s why we created the Longhair Professional Series, where we aim to reinforce the belief:
“Yes, I can have long hair and be a professional, be taken seriously, and make a good living. I don’t have to be ‘conventional.’”
While is seems more companies are loosening up around the collar, there’s still an unprofessional stereotype that men with long hair in business face. Even today there are plenty of jobs and companies saying no-go on the flow.
For that reason we want to highlight and celebrate these 12 established, successful men with long hair in business.
In many ways these guys have set the tone. They weren’t afraid to be different. They had courage. And it’s paid off.
Let’s Get Down to Long Hair in Business
Sir Richard Branson

Occupation: Founder of The Virgin Group, Entrepreneur, Philanthropist
One of the great entrepreneurs of all time, Sir Richard of the Flow founded the Virgin Group, which holds more than 400 companies worth over five billion clams.
He started from scratch, did some crazy shit, built an empire, now owns two islands.
But it’s not merely the remarkable self-made wealth. It’s his philosophy centered around the notion that business should be about more than just making money. Through his incredible career he’s built purpose-driven businesses that make a positive impact on people's’ lives.
His philanthropy efforts are extraordinary in both purpose and scope, supporting causes including the environment, exploited children, animals, cancer, clean water and many others. And he’s done it all with a classic silver mane.
Not to mention his world record attempt to fly a hot air balloon across the Atlantic, eluding death and narrowly avoiding the collapse of his entire business empire. You can check out the full story in the documentary, “Don’t Look Down.”
"I don't go into ventures to make a fortune. I do it because I'm not satisfied with the way others are doing business."Richard Branson

Mark Cuban

Occupation: Owner of the Dallas Mavericks, 20% Owner of The Longhairs
Betcha didn’t know MC had long hair back in the day, didya? Known more for his megasuccess than his once-luscious locks, we weren’t about to let this one slip by.
Cuban’s story is one of crushing one business success after another, starting with selling trash bags door to door at 12 years old. Raised in a working class family, he didn’t know about computers, but he learned them, reading every book on the subject as the emergence of the internet and technology unfolded, becoming a self-made millionaire and later billionaire.
And of course, in 2018 he landed a deal with The Longhairs on Shark Tank, securing a 20% equity in the popular community for guys growing their hair.
“What I've learned in these 11 years is you just got to stay focused and believe in yourself and trust your own ability and judgment.”Mark Cuban
Another of the great entrepreneurs of all time. Listen to his story on How I Built This.

John Paul DeJoria
Image src: paulmitchell.com
Occupation: Co-Founder of Paul Mitchell Hair Products and Patron Spirits
JP must be considered one of top longhairs in history.
He’s a man who started with nothing and went from homeless to self-made billionaire. He hustled for it, schlepping goods around selling door-to-door and scrapping for every inch. He is the dream.
John Paul Mitchell Systems, which he co-founded with the late Paul Mitchell, is currently pulling $1B per year. Which...we’re gonna have to sell a lot more hair serum to match.
Most importantly, he is a true philanthropist, living a philosophy of “success unshared is failure,” and having joined an alliance of 150+ billionaires who have pledged to give half of their money to better the world. His activism and generosity can truly be considered among the greatest individual contributions the world has ever seen.
The documentary of his life, ‘Good Fortune,’ was released in June, you gotta check out the trailer here: goodfortunemovie.com
“The difference between successful people and unsuccessful people is that successful people do all the things the unsuccessful people don’t want to do.” John Paul DeJoria

John Legere
Image src: JOSÉ MANDOJANA
Occupation: CEO of T-Mobile
Famously took over T-Mobile and adopted their “Un-carrier” approach. Straight up, this guy is a total badass. A great example of disrupting an industry, jumping into a game not to play but to take over. The growth T-Mobile has had since his takeover has been unheard of in the mobile industry and they did it by listening and focusing on the customer.
One thing that separates John from other CEOs in the mobile game is that he just is who he is. Does not apologize for it and is absolutely not afraid to put it out there. You got to listen to this interview where he breaks down some of his philosophies and why he does what he does. He is a great example of what it means to be a longhair, and a boss.
“We are either going to take over this whole industry, or these bastards are going to change, and the whole industry is going to shift. I don’t give a g--damn which. I can’t wait to watch the peckers scream and cry.”John Legree
Check out this excellent article on his strategy for taking new customers by storm.
Willie Robertson
Occupation: CEO of Duck Commander, Top Duck on A&E’s “Duck Dynasty”
His dad Phil Robertson or best known as “The Duck Commander” founded Duck Commander in 1972 on a mission to build a duck call for the regular duck hunter. Willie, his eldest son, took over the company as CEO and grew it to astronomical heights.
Expanding the product line, launching supporting brands and creating the reality T.V. show sensation Duck Dynasty. The company is currently valued in the $500 million range and it’s all thanks to the big cheese Willie and that burly flow, making big moves that would eventually skyrocket their company into true dynasty status.
“You don't set off in life to be mediocre. At least, I don't.”Willie Robertson
The long hair and thick beard has been a signature for the brand. He probably is the only CEO of his status with the rugged look he rocks. Hear his story from his own mouth in this office interview.
Dan Price
Image src: money.cnn
Occupation: CEO of Gravity Payments
Best known as the man who increased his entire company’s salary to $70K a year, Dan was the center of a viral media hurricane following the company-wide salary announcement.
There is a fair bit of speculation as to the motives behind the high-profile maneuver and how the company has actually fared since then, all with the backdrop of a lawsuit by his brother and co-founder of the company.
Despite the murky waters, whatever his motivation and whatever happened, Dan co-founded and forged a hugely successful company and made some big waves in the business world, all with a prototypically Seattle-style flow.
The least that can be said is, by virtue of his sudden and instant deluge of public visibility, he’s driven a crack in the public perception that CEO’s have short hair. And that’s a win.
"Allowing your employees to live a modest middle-class lifestyle will have a positive impact on the financial performance of your business."Dan Price
And the Dan Price sales page.
Jonathan Schwartz
Occupation: Trip Crown CEO
Founder and CEO of Lighthouse Design, past CEO of Sun Microsystems, founder and current CEO of CareZone.
Couldn’t really dig up a whole lot about Jonathan, but if you’ve got the CEO trifecta on lock with a 20-year menstail you are doing some things right. And I guess if you’re the founder you can maintain a lenient hair policy.
One thing we can say about him. He gets it. Talking about his company’s website:
“We are an ad-free site. There will be no advertising because if you think about it, advertising is predicated on the notion that we want users’ information...that we can sell to an advertiser, which makes the user not so much the customer...the advertiser is the customer.”
We can appreciate that, as well as that refined mane.
On his near-death experience in an accident,
“My perspective changed. My appetite for risk went up, my enjoyment for life went up, I was emboldened. All of a sudden I wasn’t worried."Jonathan Schwartz
The Formal Affairs
Grey and black thin headbands, as classy as your tuxedo t-shirt and the swanky affair you wear it to. Equally effective as XL hair ties.

Jeff Sarris
Image src: jeffsarris.com
Occupation: Builder of Brands and Businesses
Jeff is a brand builder, movie producer and all around great dude. We had the chance to meet up with him in Denver a few years back at a conference we attended. At the time The Longhairs was basically nothing, but we gave him one of the first referral cards we had ever made, followed up by the hard sell on the concept and the future of The Longhairs. He was all in.
Since then he has produced a smash hit documentary titled Minimalism: A Documentary About the Important Things
Have you seen it? Go watch it now if you haven’t, it’s on Netflix and it is GOOD! The most impressive thing about this film is how they were able to put it together with basically no money. It speaks to the hard work, dedication, passion and faith you have to have to see a project through to the end. It’s inspiring and proof that you can do anything you put your mind to. (Kinda like this website).
“It doesn’t matter if we’re ‘wasting life away’ according to someone else’s standards. If we reach our deathbed with regret there’s no one to blame but ourselves.” Jeff Sarris
Jeff will be coming down to the South Bay HQ in the next month or so to record a Longhairs Professional Series with your boys. We’re super pumped about that more on it later.

David James Kennedy
Occupation: Founder and Owner of James Coffee Co.
David Kennedy is a megastar coffee roaster and proprietor who plays guitar and rides motorcycles. Starting with a single location in Little Italy, San Diego, he founded and has since expanded James Coffee Co., a totally hip artisan coffee house that leases space to a half dozen other hip businesses in the same warehouse.
With an old-school barber, fixed gear bicycle shop, custom fashion eyeglass designer and corner antique store all in one location, James Coffee Co. is the one place in the continental United States where you can enter 100% culturally neutral and walk out full blown hipster.
Maybe not $B-status just yet, DK is fortifying his empire with a thriving e-commerce coffee business backing up his local shops, and a brand people know and trust.
James Coffee Co. sponsored our first two Long Manes & Candy Canes events, and David was our inaugural guest on The Longhairs Professional Series, recorded on an iPhone from his office with literally dozens of people interrupting. Taking it way back.
Most recently James Coffee was a premier sponsor for The Great Cut.

JP Sears
Occupation: YouTube Superstar, General of Spiritual Warfare
JP has built a YouTube empire, where he’s garnered over 100M views on his “Ultra Spiritual” series, where he sensationalizes and often exaggerates the pretentiousness of vegans, yogis and minimalists with deadpan seriousness.
While his YouTube channel has megaboosted his success and popularity, he’d already been running a successful business as an emotional healing & life coach for nearly a decade before launching his satire videos.
What really puts him on this list, though, is that JP is a man who demonstrates our purpose, who lives it out in his life and career, and vividly illustrates you can be a badass man with long hair in business.
His approach to creativity, his unrepentant authenticity, and his compelling message to be yourself stand as a shining example of everything we are here to advocate.
“All you need is some meat to be healthy and thrive.” JP Sears
“My manbun has made me 300% more spiritual.” JP Sears
"I bring an obsessive commitment to consistency, at a sustainable rate, to everything I’m passionate about." JP Sears
We were ultra-pumped to have him on our podcast, so listen to JP Sears on Let It Ride
Dave Littlechild
Occupation: Photographer, Skydiver and Adventurer
An avid skydiver with over 1,000 jumps logged, Dave broke his leg once whilst exiting the aircraft and watched his leg flap in the wind the entire way down, anxiously strategizing his landing.
He’s also the past Executive VP for Dotmailer, the largest email marketing software firm in the UK, where he helped them enter the US market while living in New York. He left his corporate job in 2016 to jump out of planes and pursue further adventure.
Not surprisingly he’s since landed as President of his own firm, DL Consulting, working directly with his own clientele and still rocking the locks. Dave is a guy just living by his own rules, admittedly not conforming to society while managing his own risk profile.
“Take me as I am, I’ll take you as you are. No judgement.” Dave Littlechild
Listen to David Littlechild on Let It Ride.
G.B. Heidarsson
Occupation: CEO of eDataSource, Viking
G.B. was our first corporate guest on The Longhairs Professional Series, so we weren’t sure what it would be like. Turns out it was just like hangin with the bros.
He’s the head honcho for eDataSource, a data-driven email technology company serving up inbox monitoring software that makes your emails sick AF.
A man who donates his hair to charity every few years, and who walked into his job interview for CEO with long hair.
If you don’t catch the interview, just know there’s a badass longhair CEO for a high-tech email data company out there riding his motorcycle like SOA and whipping by on his skis with a long flowing mane trailing behind him.
“If people care little enough to judge me by the way I wear my hair, maybe we don’t need to be associated or be doing business together.” G.B. Heidarsson
Listen to G.B. Heidarsson on Let It Ride.
Straight Ballin
These are men who have bucked the trend. Whoever they were, wherever they came from, they were told to cut their hair...just like you were. They were told it wouldn’t fly in business, that to have a chance, they’d have to cut it.
But they didn’t cut it (ok Mark did, still), they let it ride. They said I’m blazing my own path, and if you don’t like the hair you can kick some rocks.
We tip our lids to these legendary longhairs in business. And if any of you legends are reading this, we’d love to get a meeting with you. Beers are on The Longhairs.
Any other men with long hair in business we should mention? Share in the comments.

“Some of the worst mistakes in my life were haircuts.”
I have 10 year hair, and that last dudes logic is perfect. A forcefield against the close minded, and an opportunity for charity. Although the Ladies aren’t really down with it. You haven’t seen people’s real nature til you have long and short hair, with nice and crappy cars each. If you notice most of these “longhairs” are about shoulder length. Time for a cut.
Good points PG, although here are 5 Reasons Women Dig Long Hair – From a Woman, and of course there is this: Long Hair in Romance Novels and The Secret Primal Desires of Women
Alright so, I work for a top pharmaceutical company; very serious environment, very serious people. Turns out I decided to switch roles within the company and my new boss is a surfer/snowboarder (as I am) and supports my long locks 100%. My new caveman look is putting a bit of a strain in my relationship which sucks but, what can I say, we come alone to this world and we’ll leave alone so enjoy yourselves, rock the mane and the freedom it makes you feel! Don’t change for anyone.
Cheers
Tom
AWESOME MAN! Great news about work, not as good about the relationship but maybe this article can help: Living With a Longhair: The Mess, The Stress, The Awesome-Ness
I recently retired after being a state criminal prosecutor for 30 years. I was the only male prosecutor with long hair in the entire state, as well as one of very few male attorneys. I proudly sported my long locks for the last 25 years of my career and while my hair style may have cost me an appointment to the bench as a judge, I wouldn’t change a thing.
Great to hear Devin! Sounds like we need to get you on our Podcast. Would love to hear more. Would you be interested?
Nice work here.
She asks me why, I’m just a hairy guy
I’m hairy noon and night, hair that’s a fright
I’m hairy high and low, don’t ask me why, Don’t know
It’s not for lack of bread, like the Grateful Dead
Darlin’, give me a head with hair, long beautiful hair
Shining, gleaming, steaming, flaxen, waxen
Give me down to there hair, shoulder length or longer
Here, baby, there, momma, everywhere, daddy, daddy
Hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair
Flow it, show it, long as God can grow it, my hair
Hello folks
I’ m male passed my 50ties and have been wearing my hair long since age 14. I have turned down many opportunities:in jobs in relationsships. I have dealt with verbal abuse and life threats, family members being ashamed of me, physical attacks etc. Just think of the move “Easy Rider”.I have not been killed , but heard of a friend that knew of a young man who was mistaken for a woman and had been killed, hit by a car and left for dead. On the other hand I have had sexual adventures with girls who seem to had a fetish for males with long hair. Having long hair is not professional? Just think of all the Heavy Metal musicians that made a living being themselves. That’ s what it is all about. Jesus Christ. ( the son of God had long hair ). I want to hear form you outthere, you peacocks – walk in pride,don’t lose your feathers.
Best wishes
Roman
Great reading there Roman! Glad to have you here and thanks for the thoughtful comment. You’re a longhair lifer, we salute you!
Long hair in their youth, especially baby boomers, doesn’t count. Where are all the long haired filmmakers ?
Having bitched, let me throw some love. I just found your site and as someone who has grown my hair very long and cut it short many, many times for the last 40 yrs, I very much like this site.
Pumped to have you here Stewart! If you intend to cut it again, hopefully you’ve heard about The Great Cut.
You should mention Country Music Singer Willie Nelson. Also Christian Kane from the TV series “Leverage”, who has had an of and on Country Music Career. Also both actors William Shockely and Joe Lando from the former TV series “Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman.” Also Tyler Kitsch (Tim Riggins) from the TV series “Friday Night Lights.” I really like the hair on Christian Kane the best of all. Thanks for your inspiration with this series called “The Longhairs.” You guys are a Blessing!!
Thanks for the great additions Michael!
Awesome article! Thank you!
Thanks for reading amigo!
I’m badass
Well keep that going man!
Wow Great Articles 😊
Thanks Dougie
Don’t forget jonathon leibmann from propertuity… 😎
Don’t know how to contact you guys, by email, but I just want to thank you for giving support to men with long hair. As you have said, we all grow our hair for different reasons. To face discrimination because of it is a sad commentary on the superficial values of our society. Like so many other forms of discrimination, I hope we will get beyond it.
Yo Lumark, we are agreed. Thanks for writing in.
That has been my experience, too. Even though much older, women seem to be attracted to long hair. I am often complimented, by women, on my long curly hair.
The only way to break that mold, is to have the courage, to do, what you are doing. Hope you have much success. You are leading where many of us feared to tread. I greatly admire you.
Isn’t the UK about as Anglo/Saxon as they come? So I don’t understand what you are saying. I do understand the British class system and agree that people in higher classes are expected to have gone to certain schools and conform to certain standards. The class system, which is deeply ingrained determines your job opportunities and standing in society.
Great to hear!! I’m a Sales Director for a finance company. My current chairman is giving it the get your haircut its not viewed as professional. I definitely do not agree and am DEFIANTLY growing it longer.
Long hair and beards rock.
Great article 😉
Nice job on this article! As a fellow entrepreneur myself, there’s nothing more exciting to me than a visionary that breaks the mold. A good leader doesn’t follow, they lead, that’s why it’s in their name. It amazes me that there’s still bias in the business world that you got to look the same in order to make it when the companies that make it are the ones who are true to themselves and have a vision that’s different from the same guys doing the same thing. It’s comical that a couple hundred years ago men having long hair was a power and status symbol and somewhere along the lines got twisted into a menace to society by modern standards. F**k it. From a female perspective, there’s noting more sexy than a long haired man doing whatever the hell he wants.
& kudos to your time spent writing this because Google brought me in and now made me a new customer. Love your products! Keep at it!
Hi Alyssa, super pumped you found us here! And thank you for buying, we know you’ll love the hair ties. Thanks for the comment also and stay in touch!
Great message. I don’t cut my hair and I already have my own house at just turning 23 years old.
Pow! See!
Awesome article, I’m currently 15 and people keep telling me that I’m going to have to cut my hair to be successful in life, but this article is proof that we longhairs have a shot to be both successful and keep our luscious locks
We can do it man!
as 10 years, they say ” you could turn transsexual or gay” and they ask Paul, Corinthians
but you are 15 and you’re in the high school, without professional emergency; in fact, they are scarry for you escape child, and you will enter adult, with sexuality and event drug abuse
as you are 20 and more, they want you be conservative as them, for they don’t accept any mind changing
if you don’t grow out your hair at 15, when will you be free of it? at 70?
do your experiment and build your own judgement, young bro !!!
in Europe, you should be more free at your age…
One of your best posts ever! Super interesting to learn about other famous Longhairs. Thanks guys!
Yee haw!
Including Willie Robertson in your list makes me question your judgment. It also helps me decide not to buy your products.
Ok man, thanks but not that helpful. You’re welcome to share why if you’d like to be constructive. But you know, we spent about 10 hours over the weekend writing this post for people to enjoy, and we can’t discover everything about every person that might be offensive. You could probably dig up something bad about every person on this list, but we didn’t have time to do that. So you can help out if you want or comment from the sidelines.
Sounded a little whiny back there but shit man! Just trying to make some content.
I leave this up here as a reminder of where we were back on August 14, 2017 (and to not be whiny in the comments).
Ok boys back to the content, C’YA!
there is here no matter of judgment : it is only a list of longhaired men who are ceo of business
permit me to consider you as intolerant
and if we are intolerants longhairs, we could finish have our conventions in phone cabins !!!
I just ordered several products BECAUSE of the inclusion of Willie Robertson in this post…
Thanks for buying from us Richard, hope you love your stuff.
To be clear for everyone: we didn’t choose to include or exclude any person on this list to make any kind of statement, other than illustrate that each of these men has built a successful business or project despite having a long mane.
Our statement is this: you can be a successful man with long hair. The two aren’t mutually exclusive. And if someone insists otherwise, you can simply point to any of these men.
That said thanks to everyone for writing in and sharing your thoughts!
I agree with you, Eugene. I just joined the website and had been looking at bands and bandanas… I made sure that they shipped to Canada and I was making up my mind on what I wanted.
Seeing Robertson on this list sickened me and I will find an alternative. El Rubio says that he cannot do research on everyone and that we could likely find something wrong with everyone on this list. The issue is that Robertson is a known racist, homophobe….a bigot in other words. I cannot support a business that uses such an example to promote their goods. https://ew.com/article/2016/11/17/duck-dynasty-phil-robertson-quotes-scandals/
Phil is not on the list, Willie is and that is who we are highlighting here. There’s a difference. You can’t just blanket a whole family rascist because of something one member has done or said.
Phil is his father and Willie has defended what he said against gay people in the GQ article. You are what you do.
As for not endorsing the behaviour, I’m sorry, but if you list them, you cannot only take the good (their financial success) and ignore the rest. Do I think that El Rubio listed him because he endorsed his views? Absolutely not. Do I think that it was a bad decision to include him when you have customers from all races, all sexual orientations…? Yes, I do think that it wasn’t the best decision. I have seen people post elsewhere and while I doubt that this will kill their business (it won’t and I am thankful for that because it would be a bit ridiculous if it did), they have lost customers and potential customers. You cannot ever please everyone when you’re in business. It’s impossible. Striving to always do better is possible.
Patrick, you make good points in this comment and your follow-up comments below.
Personally, I disagree with the beliefs in discussion, I find them reprehensible. My blood sibling is transgender, so I think it’s lousy and hurtful to perpetuate such beliefs.
In what I have read, the Robertson family’s reasoning is based on their interpretation of the Bible and their religion. These men have a right to religion of their choosing and the beliefs associated with it.
I grew up in an ultra-conservative, ultra-religious church where similar beliefs were held. Many of those people were my family, some of whom may still hold those beliefs even today. While I vehemently disagree, I still love them.
At the end of the day, none of this means we need to promote or glorify these guys on our website, and certainly not for their beliefs. But I look at their achievements, and I ask myself, “would I leave a family member with comparable achievements off this list because of their beliefs, because I disagree with them?”
Shit man I don’t know! Your comments have caused me to really think about it, and I appreciate that. I finally left Willie up here to keep this discussion relevant.
Thank you for your participation. We are all wiser for this.
Y’all are reading into this too much. They’re not endorsing the behavior or opinions of any of the folks in this list. As far as I can see, there’s only 3 qualifications for making this list: 1. You’re a dude. 2. You’re a successful businessman. 3. You have long hair.
If you can find someone who meets all those criteria and is a heterophobe, and if you asked nicely, I imagine LH might be willing to add them to the list for whatever sense of “balance” you think you deserve.
Yes totally open to adding more.
How is your mane coming along El Moreno? I am a bit ahead of you on growth I started St Paddy’s weekend with 2 cuts since. LTH Brother.
IS THIS BEAU BUSBY of the Kappa Phi Chapter of Sigma Nu??!
Why on earth would I want to have a heterophobe included, Ace? They are just as bad as homophobes. I’m not about to speak against one’s intolerance and promote the other. There is no balance saught out.
What I stated is that Willie defended his father’s comments. So I’m clearly not making the entire family racist because of one, El Moreno. Here, it would be homophobic since he defended those comments.
Hitler did a few good things and some really evil ones. If I made an article about one good deed from his life, you can bet that people would crucify me alive and tell me about all the evils that he has committed, and they would be right. You cannot just take a part of a person that you want to use and ignore the rest.
Perfect
Eugene, lots of discussion in this thread. Please come back to have a look see, and thanks for getting it started.
I know my people, and I am sure they would vote no.
When I go to the kinds of events that draw a crowd with which I feel comfortable, amid the members of our tribe who are in attendance, I would find at least one guy who looks sort of like Robertson, but without the camo. They may not be rich, but I much rather prefer them.
Dude this is inspiring, Im currently growing my hair out and considering changing careers from woking in the mining industry and planning to transition into the financial services. Im 32 years old, my wife and i are expecting our first child in December and I’m struggling with this belief that in order to be a professional you must maintain a clean cut look. I wanna break the mold, thank you for your support!
Glad to hear it Allan! Thanks for commenting man, good luck w/ the new family and the career transition.
👍🏻 be your self.
longhairs CEO are often in the states, or the anglosaxon countries for the business community is more opened
in europe, particularly in France or GB, you find less longhairs at that level ,cause the recruitment of the administration leaders from ” great schools” and the non written law who says that you must choise your CEO from those schools ( or your society will be annoyed by the administration and the banks, Bernard Tapie can attest of it…) and those guys are very conservative
as a start up does grow, the founder becomes technical leader, with his hair, but a shorthair elite man becomes the official CEO
