Dre Barranon is best known for his Lookbook event held each year in California, but one quick look at his Instagram page and it’s clear why his talents go beyond hosting AMAZING educational events—he’s a master stylist! He initially started his presence on social in the wave of tattoo hair designs, and he now is known for his craft-approach to hair through his cosmetology/barber hybrid talents in addition to showcasing the behind-the-scenes in his Instagram Stories. He’s all about connecting.

My audience follows me because: I am entertaining.
How social media changed my life: The ability to connect and staying connected with others is incredible. It also helps me promote my life as a whole.
