Overview

Spayne Lindsay is delighted to announce that it has advised Mayfair Equity Partners (‘Mayfair’) on its investment in Tangle Teezer.

Founded in 2007 by Shaun Pulfrey, Tangle Teezer produces a range of innovative and tailored detangling, blow-drying and styling hairbrushes famous for their unique patented teeth technology. With record revenues of over £30m achieved in 2020 and presence in over 75 countries, the business has grown to become a world-renowned brand, recognised for creating the detangling haircare category, and is swiftly becoming an essential haircare companion to both consumers and haircare professionals. Tangle Teezer’s products are sold through well-established international online and multi-channel retailers with digital channels accounting for over 50% of sales today.

Mayfair is partnering with James Vowles, CEO, and his team to support further product innovation and international expansion. Shaun will remain a minority shareholder in the business.

“I am immensely proud to be joining forces with Mayfair in a strategic partnership. Their proven ability to back strong brands, with founder and management led business teams, made them my natural choice”
