Dean Lauer

Dean Lauer has transitioned from a barber college student to a successful barbershop owner, educator, and social media influencer, building a brand around professional hair styling and community engagement. After graduating as the 62nd alumnus from Beyond Expectations Barber College in June 2018, Dean Lauer rapidly established a significant presence in the industry by opening his own enterprise, Blis Barber Company, in Tallmadge, Ohio, in January 2019. Situated at 85 Midway Plaza, Blis Barber Company quickly became a thriving establishment offering a comprehensive range of professional services, including haircuts, straight-razor shaves, beard trims, facials, black masks, and eyebrow treatments. Committed to fostering a welcoming environment and actively contributing to the community, Lauer expanded his business to include two additional skilled employees, further cementing Blis Barber Company as a pillar in the local area.

Through these platforms, Lauer consistently shares advanced styling techniques, insightful grooming advice, and glimpses into his professional journey. His significant digital reach has attracted prominent brand collaborations, notably with the UK-based haircare brand Slick Gorilla, for whom he serves as a key ambassador, promoting products through his highly engaged social media channels. Looking ahead, Lauer continues to expand his impact within the barbering industry and his community. He is actively planning to establish his own barber college in Youngstown, aiming to further his commitment to professional education and local development.

Demonstrating his dedication to social responsibility, Lauer also intends to organize free haircutting events and provide ongoing support to the Tallmadge community, reinforcing his holistic vision for both his brand and the broader industry.
