How to Watch The Longhairs on Shark Tank

It started with our epic recap of the Shark Tank open casting experience in April 2017. With over 40,000 hopeful applicants pitching and peddling their precious products for Season 9, the odds were stacked.

Since then we launched soft lids, headwraps, hair serum and Hair Ties For Guys V2.2. We’ve advocated for the little guys, we’ve linked up with JP Sears and other badass longhairs, we’ve been earning it at the iron factory and we published our 156th consecutive blog post.

But all that time you wondered...what happened on Shark Tank??!

We went in there alright. We walked down that hallway, we stood on that stage, and we pitched.

And how did it go down in that fateful foray? What did the heaviest of hitters have to say about this fledgling startup in a niche market?

Would The Longhairs stand tall? Or would their hopes and dreams be crushed?

The sharks were circling like there was blood in the water. Would anyone bite??

The founders became friends at California State University, Fresno where they were brothers in Sigma Nu Fraternity. Together they started a digital marketing agency in 2013, hustling to grow The Longhairs as a side hustle before breaking through to a full-time business.

Chris Healy, a.k.a. “El Rubio,” grew up in Sunnyvale, CA attending Fremont High School and later The Craig School of Business at Fresno State. After 10 years in Fresno he traveled alone to 28 countries over 11 months with only a backpack before landing in San Diego.

Lindsay Barto, a.k.a. “El Moreno” is from Redlands, CA, where he played football for St. Thomas Aquinas High School in San Bernardino. He attended Fresno State before graduating from the Art Institute of California, working as a freelance creative professional until starting the agency with El Rubio.
