Fuze Barber Shop and Shaving Parlor is a "cool, refined, alternative barber salon" whose team offers classic and modern haircuts, classic shaves, beard services, long layered cuts, color treatments and more, says owner Nick Tosti.
Located at 2834 S. Eagle Road in The Village at Newtown Shopping Center, the salon sports a client lounge with complimentary beverages, tunes and flat screen TVs. "We offer an old-school-meets-new-style inspired by the Southern California barbershop experience," says Nick, a longtime Newtown resident.
"We have clients ranging from 1 year old to 80 years old, coming from Trenton, New Hope and Philadelphia. We also offer discounts to military personnel, police and firefighters," he adds.
Haircut trends or preferences can shift quickly. Newtown City Lifestyle asked three of the salon's barbers what their current favored men's haircuts and why.
JOEY VIOLA
Fave cut: Low Taper Fade
In this haircut, hair gradually transitions from longer on top to shorter at sides and back, with the shortest part of the fade starting low on the head, around the nape of the neck and ears. Joey likes how the transition from longer hair to shorter hair is more gradual than a typical fade, resulting in a clean, blended look.
ROB FIORENTINO
Fave cut: Taper Fade Fringe
This popular, modern haircut involves gradually shortening hair on the sides and back of the head, blending it to the skin. Rob says the fringe is the part of the haircut that falls over the forehead, and it can be styled in various ways.
LUKE TOSTI
Fave cut: Skin Fade
This type of haircut tapers on the sides and back, blending short faded hair into the skin. Luke says the haircut starts with longer hair on top of the head, then gradually becomes shorter down the sides and back, toward the neck, creating a sharp and seamless transition from longer hair on top to a very short, almost shaved, finish.
