The Lucky Tiger Heritage
Lucky Tiger's roots go back to 1927 when P.S. Harris, an amateur scientist, and popular barber in Kansas City, Missouri, created a tonic for the hair and scalp in his basement. He called it Lucky Tiger Tonic. Everyone who visited P.S.'s Barbershop would look forward to their shave, haircut and a generous splash of Lucky Tiger Tonic. It was different and better than other tonics used in those days, and customers from miles around would rave about its soothing effect. As the story goes, P.S.- began to sell the tonic out of his shop, and a few years later, a business associate convinced him that his special tonic would be a big hit in barbershops across the country. So, in 1935, Lucky Tiger was trademarked, and a classic American brand was officially born.
By the time the early 1950's rock n' rolled around, Lucky Tiger Tonic was the most popular barbershop brand across America. Lucky Tiger provided confidence to American men, young and old. As hairstyles changed and the
ebel look began to reflect the times, Lucky Tiger was there to give guys that sultry, just right flip as dictated by the heroes of the day: Dean Martin, James Dean, Brando and Elvis.
