Looking your best starts with feeling your best. And that goes deeper than a haircut. It's about givi Young entrepreneur adds an urban edge to Kutztown. In an area known for Pennsylvania German, folk festivals and funnel cakes, finding a place to get an urban-style haircut isn’t easy. Jonathan Escueta feels your pain. During a recent stint at Clyde’s Barber Shop in Allentown, Escueta frequently heard the rumblings from area college students. Read more “A couple of students told me that they had to drive back and forth from Allentown just to get a haircut,” said the 20-year-old Allentown resident. That, coupled with Escueta’s desire to work for himself, led to the November opening of City Cuts Barbershop in Kutztown. The store specializes in what Escueta calls haircuts from center city, with features that include buzz cuts, close trims, fades and sharp-angled facial hair.

He’s got video games for people, movies, and the flat-screen TV doesn’t hurt.” Dylan Murphy, 15, has been a fan of Escueta since his days at Clyde’s. “I like what he does,” said Murphy of Whitehall Township, Lehigh County. “I don’t know of many other people who know how to do a fade.” Escueta, who worked as a bartender in Whitehall while getting his barber’s license, is getting some assistance with his business plan from the Kutztown Small Business Development Center. He is City Cuts’ only employee, but said he’ll hire more if the shop gets busy enough. “Right now, the clientele is mostly from college,” he said. “The feedback has been good.” But the compliments haven’t been only from college students. On a recent afternoon, Peter M. Keegan, 50, stopped in to check out the place. “I like to go to local businesses, an Update description
