in downtown Nashua for nearly 30 years who is retiring after more than 30 years cutting hair at Chuck’s Barber Shop in Nashua drizzly days that even spawned a few rounds of slushy snowflakes just to remind us that Mother Nature — not your wall calendar — is in charge of things a middle-aged gentleman rose from the barber chair he’d occupied for the last 20 or so minutes and peered into a giant mirror had an uncharacteristically difficult time smiling back something she’d been doing so often over the past 30 or so years that it made many customers — and there were many — wonder what Sue Reynolds would look like if she wasn’t smiling as Reynolds breaks the news to one customer after another that she is retiring at the end of this month Tears welled in Reynolds’s eyes as she informed the customer of her plans “I don’t want to but I need to,” she said as the two embraced because after so many years cutting hair at downtown landmark Chuck’s Barber Shop — first as an apprentice to the late Rino Long and then as the shop’s owner since 2008 — she knows firsthand that barbershops by their very nature are a sort of social incubator so you’ll always have this barbershop,” she said referring to her daughters Dina Borges and Michelle Bracetty They have hired Rachel Britt to fill the third full-time slot and there are a couple of former Chuck’s barbers around who could help out during busy times As is the case with the many small businesses that find success and longevity the numerous barbers who joined Charles “Chuck” Aveni and later opened his namesake shop in Nashua in 1957 Marine just out of the service,” joined Aveni in 1959 “He was very energetic and helped Chuck build a great business,” Reynolds wrote in a chronology of the business she called “A Short History of a Long Story.” They moved the shop a few blocks south to 168 Main St Aveni retired and sold the business to Long and moved to Florida Long thus became a “one-chair shop” for a brief time hanging a “back in 15 minutes” sign on his door around noon so he could run next door to the former Jackie’s Diner and grab a quick lunch Long soon became one of the diner staff’s favorite regulars and eventually formed a special relationship with a server named Susanne Borges “We became like father and daughter,” said the server Their conversations gradually morphed from typical “diner banter” into the finer points of a career in the tonsorial field Reynolds was sitting in a classroom at barber school Ten or so years later Long was diagnosed with incurable prostate cancer but continued working — often through the day without a break Reynolds remembers Long asking her if she would take over for him one day Reynolds kept the shop running as normally as possible She took the next giant step three months later when she bought the business from her mentor’s widow When the little outdated strip mall that housed Chuck’s Jackie’s Diner and a couple of other businesses was torn down in 2014 Reynolds and her family launched a search for the shop’s next home As someone who describes herself as “a very strong believer in God and God’s will,” Reynolds remained confident something would open up it paid off in the form of a new home — at 115½ Main St. diagonally across from their former location But just because she is retiring doesn’t mean Reynolds will disappear as the longtime face of Chuck’s barbershop She and her husband plan to split their time between Nashua and their getaway in New Hampshire’s North Country She also plans to finally take the time to address those pesky maladies that have developed over the years some of which were exacerbated by the inherent nature of a profession in which repetitive motion injuries are part of the job description for so many career barbers Reynolds had no choice but to find a new space for the shop and I promised both of them that I would keep the shop going,” she said as her daughters cut trimmed and chatted with their own customers Dean Shalhoup is a Nashua native and lifelong resident and a five-decade observer of life in the Gate City.
