    From Ketchup Bottles to 8-Figure Empire: The Hair Syrup Story | Managed

    From mixing homemade hair oil in repurposed ketchup bottles in a student conservatory to becoming the UK’s 13th fastest-growing company, Lucie Macleod’s journey with Hair Syrup is anything but conventional. In this week’s episode of Managed, the 26-year-old founder shares the raw reality of building a viral, eight-figure haircare empire entirely bootstrapped. She takes us back to the early days of "Walter White-style" kitchen chemistry, explaining how a series of viral TikToks transformed her student side hustle into a global sensation that has defied the odds and rewritten the rules of beauty entrepreneurship. Beyond the viral moments, Lucie pulls back the curtain on the challenges that social media often glosses over. We dive into her controversial Dragon’s Den rejection, and how she turned that professional low into a masterclass in PR, along with her unfiltered take on why most retail expansions are a "vanity show" for online brands. Whether you’re a budding entrepreneur or just looking for the truth behind the glamour of scaling a business, this conversation is a masterclass in resilience, authenticity, and why knowing your "why" is the ultimate competitive advantage.
