Lindsay Barto and Chris Healy told the sharks that during the first two years in business, their company had generated more than $100,000 in revenue. Most of The Longhairs revenue comes from e-commerce, which includes its own website and Amazon’s marketplace.

Lori Greiner and Daymond John were not interested and decided to drop out. Mark Cuban offered $100,000 in exchange for 20% equity. After thinking it over, Lindsay and Chris accepted Mark’s offer.
