Christopher Bonanno wants people to feel comfortable and relaxed at G&S Barber Shop.
Chris Bonanno wants his customers to feel comfortable. As the newest owner of G&S Barber Shop, he wants to bring a nostalgic feel back to the business, something he said that’s missing from a lot of hair stylists in the area. “There's something about those old barber shops where people used to hang out and talk,” Bonanno said. “People would gather there and talk about issues of the day, issues that were important to them. There was a real sense of community at those places.” But hanging out is the only characteristic Bonanno wants to bring back. G&S offers customers the opportunity to get a straight razor shave complete with hot shaving cream. “You can’t that hardly anywhere anymore,” Bonanno said. Gerry and Sal, G&S, owned the long-…

Chris Burchell: "I’m so happy that I’ve been able to survive.”
Carlye Burchell might not be alive today if it wasn’t for her father, Chris. Chris owns Absolute Auto & Flat Glass on Route 23. He specializes in repairing, replacing, and installing damaged vehicle windshields. Carlye’s car flipped over eight times on Route 80 a few years ago. Her car was totaled, but she walked away from the accident because of the work her father did. The windshield prevented the roof from completely caving in and crushing Carlye. “There’s no doubt in my mind that doing as good of a job as I did on that windshield saved my daughter’s life,” said Burchell, a Wayne resident and DePaul Catholic High School alumnus. “My work is everything, it’s my livelihood and how I make my living. I owe it to my customers, and to myself …
