The co-founders of No Mo-Stache are no strangers to the beauty industry. Jennifer owns The Beauty Strip waxing salon in North Hollywood, and Gita is a Los Angeles-based Fashion Executive. They got together in 2012 and started their business.

They saw a need for a simple, safe, and convenient portable waxing kit for women who want to have a wax treatment without taking a trip to the salon.

No Mo-Stache including the slightly larger No Mo-Bush lets women quickly remove hair on the upper lip and in the bikini line area. Simply rub the wax strips between your hands, apply to the affected area, and pull. It’s easy and (relatively) painless.

No Mo-Stache comes in packets of 24 or 40 individual strips for $12 or $16. The No Mo-Bush strips come in packets of 16 or 32 strips for $12 or $22. Each strip comes with an aloe cream packet for post-waxing relief.

The products have good reviews online and are available on Amazon, the company website, and at dozens of beauty stores nationwide, including the Sephora and Anthropologie chains.

Jennifer and Gita likely want the Sharks’ help expanding their retail presence. Will a Shark want to partner with this beauty business?

No Mo-Stache Shark Tank Recap

Jennifer and Gita enter seeking $100,000 for a 25% stake in their business. They explain how their products solve common grooming challenges for women with active lifestyles.

They have a model that demonstrates how to use their product as they talk about how easy it is to use. They’re different because their product is small, discreet, and totally portable.

Mark asked why they didn’t just shave (he was joking), and Robert professed ignorance about these kinds of products. He wanted to know if all women had facial hair issues.

Bethenny, who was more familiar with this kind of product, asked how No Mo-Stache was different from Sally Hansen Strips. The difference is that No Mo-Stache is smaller and more discreet.

Did No Mo-Stache Get a Deal on Shark Tank?

Kevin wanted to know what was proprietary about the product and if it was patented. When they said it wasn’t patented, he wanted to know why they were worth $400,000.

Mark wanted to know the numbers. Each unit costs $1.74 and sells for $18. They’ve done $200,000 in sales over two years with $300,000 projected for this year.

How they sell the product became a sticking point for Lori. They were selling in Sephora beauty stores, but only in 60 out of 200. They said Sephora removed the product to “make room for new trends.”

Lori thinks it’s because it wasn’t selling, but they said they were adding five new distributors this year.

While Lori was talking, Bethenny tested the strips on Mark’s arm. Kevin was watching because he threw out an offer. He bids $100,000 for 10% PLUS one dollar for every kit sold until he makes $300,000.

Bethenny offers $100,000 for 40% but she’ll fold the company into the Skinny Girl brand and include it in her beauty kits.

Lori thinks the kits would sell well on QVC, and she and Bethenny begin chattering about different marketing ideas. Jennifer asks if the two Sharks would do $100,000 for 35%.

Kevin jumps in and drops his royalty to $0.75, and when Gia and Jennifer keep asking Lori and Bethenny if they’ll do a deal, he goes to $0.50.

Lori (along with Bethenny) then offers $100,000  for 35%, with a $1 royalty per unit until she gets her investment back.

Mr. Wonderful is losing his mind at this point, and Gia and Jennifer counter Lori and Bethenny with $100,000 for 25% with a $1 royalty until they return $200,000. Lori and Bethenny say yes, but “NO MO NEGOTIATING!”
