What Happened to Colour Me Shave After Dragons’ Den?
Colour Me Shave appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2014, Series 12 Episode 2. The business was a male-grooming gel. No deal was made — the Dragons decided not to invest. The company was dissolved in 2017.
The Pitch
George and Joan McCrossan walked into the Den in 2014 with a male-grooming gel. They were asking for £65,000 in exchange for 35% of the business.
Despite their best efforts, the pitch didn’t convince the Dragons to open their wallets.
The Deal
No deal was made. The Dragons weren’t persuaded to invest, and George and Joan McCrossan left the Den without backing.
What Happened After the Show
Colour Me Shave did not survive long-term. The company was dissolved in 2017, only 3 years after the Den appearance.
This is not an unusual outcome. The majority of businesses that appear on Dragons’ Den, deal or no deal, don’t make it in the long run. The show can provide a platform and capital, but it can’t substitute for a sustainable business model.
Is Colour Me Shave Still in Business?
No. Colour Me Shave is no longer in business. Based on available records, the company is dissolved (2017).
