Hair loss occurs in men and women of all ages for a variety of reasons. It can be daunting to seek solutions or talk openly with peers about your experiences, but Great Many is on a mission to destigmatize these conversations. Launched in June 2024, the new company from beauty industry veterans Michael Pollak (co-founder of Heyday and advisor to WTHN) and Steve Klebanow (former executive at Estée Lauder and co-founder of Hair & Co Barbershop) aims to make hair growth an answer, not a question. The company opened its flagship growth studio in NoHo on June 4, with a team of knowledgeable, compassionate clinicians and hair experts offering services for men and women looking to grow or maintain hair.
“Over the last 10+ years, so many concepts have been launched to make skin care and aesthetics more accessible – from beauty salons to medical spas to cosmetic dermatologists’ offices. We know how important hair is to people, but this area still confuses people, is full of myths and does not offer a comprehensive solution,” say co-founders Michael Pollak and Steve Klebanow. “Great Many is the home of hair growth and is 100% dedicated to providing expert, personalized hair growth plans – revolutionizing hair health in the same way that specialized clinics have done with skin care. We are excited for people to have a plan and a partner to maximize their hair’s potential.”
With the securing of this advance, Great Many is launching two new business pillars to advance its mission beyond the walls of its NoHo clinic and ensure the brand is the go-to destination for all things hair growth throughout the U.S. The expansion includes a proprietary line of four hair care products based on the GrowthFactor Formula™ ingredient complex, as well as telehealth services to support consultations for those outside of NYC.
The new GrowthFactor Formula™ line consists of GreaterThan Shampoo, GreaterThan Conditioner, RootSupport Densifying Serum and RootRest Scalp Treatment and ranges in price from $34 to $49 individually, with bundles also available. The products contain clean, proprietary ingredients that promote hair growth while supporting scalp and hair follicle health. Those living in NYC can purchase the products and visit Great Many in NoHo at 304 Mulberry Street, NY, NY 10012. Outside of New York, people can obtain prescription medications through Great Many’s new telemedicine platform and purchase their products online at greatmany.com.
“Hair loss is an all too familiar problem that remains stigmatized in both men and women and is central to most people’s identities. The multi-billion dollar hair loss prevention market is notoriously full of exaggerated promises and confusion, leaving consumers hopeless,” says Andrew Black, Founder and Managing Partner of BrandProject.”Great Many wants to change that. With its holistic one-stop-shop solution, it offers people comprehensive, science-based products and in-studio treatments, all supported by leading medical hair experts. We are excited to be among Great Many’s first investors and to support the extraordinary founders Steve and Michael on their journey to reinvent hair growth.”
“Michael and Steve have done a great job creating the best place for hair growth. I am a big fan of clinically proven, minimally invasive and all-natural treatments,” says Lukas Keindl, co-founder of BondVet. “PRP treatments and future treatments that Great Many will offer will be a life-changing service for many men and women in NYC and across the country.”
