FOUNDER, CEO, BYRD HAIRDO PRODUCTS
WHY: Former Quiksilver pro-surfer who started his own men’s haircare line out of need for the perfect pomade to catch waves in. Bootstrapped business selling first tins of pomade from his car, now counting nearly $5M in sales. Flagship barbershop location in Newport Beach.
RECENT: Added 2K CVS doors in the spring. Opened second The Byrd’s Nest barbershop in August in West Hollywood with plans to expand the concept.
QUOTABLE: “When I set out to develop my own formulation. I was melting down beeswax in my mom’s crockpots. I ruined a couple of those in the kitchen.”
