Early in his career, he was head barber & stylist for the former City-Mart Department Store in Downtown Boston. In 1964, he opened his Barber Shop at the Orient Heights Square location on Bennington St., where he remained for 48 years, until retiring in May of 2011 due to failing health. Charlie’s parents, the late Peter & Grace (Crisafulli) Zucco, were the founders & proprietors of “Gracie’s Bakery,” on the Orient Heights-Winthrop Bridge, only yards away from where would one day be home to their son’s barber shop, “Charlie’s Barber Shop,” for over 48 years.

Little did any of the medical community, at that time, put much credence in the long-standing effects of working within those conditions. Charlie’s shop was the hub of all things, newsy & social. Charlie became a mentor to many, certainly a friend to many of the elderly clients he served, often serving them at their homes or in nursing facilities, refusing any monetary renumeration.
