Newtown Stylist Hired For NBC Sports Show

A Newtown barber has been selected as the resident stylist and makeup artist for an NBC Sports show that will air later this month.

Tracey Bowen-Tobin of Bowen’s Barbershop in Newtown has been selected as the resident barber for the soccer show “Men In Blazers," which is entering its fifth season.

Bowen-Tobin will be working part-time out of New York City to do the hair and makeup for host Michael Davies, along with the other host and all the celebrity guests. As the sole resident barber, she'll handle the cutting, shaving, grooming, and makeup for all participants, she explained.

If you're an existing client of Bowen-Tobin, don't worry. "I will still be keeping my normal schedule and hours at the barber shop to accommodate all of my clients," she tells Patch.

The show airs Monday, August 27. Click here to visit the show's website for details.
