Then inspiration strikes and a few minutes later, they'll go on their way in a fade topped with swoops, dots and swirls; a beard cut in a geometric pattern and maybe dyed a bright color. It's a lot of look for a haircut and that's exactly what the barbers want. "Basically when you do designs, that's pretty much like a walking billboard for you. People are going to stop and ask who did that?" said shop owner Amit Corso.

The haircuts, as well as the barbers, attracted enough attention for the Lancaster barbershop to star in "Cutting Crew," a new reality show debuting Saturday on El Rey network. The eight-episode TV show highlights the barbers, their styles and their customers. "I've assembled a team of award-winning barbers in Lancaster," Corso says in the show's intro, setting the tone for the series. "If you want a boring, cookie-cutter haircut, go to a salon." The Cutting Edge Corso, 31, has owned his shop for 10 years and now has a space on a corner of East King Street near Thaddeus Stevens College of Technology. After a childhood of home cuts, he went to a barbershop and was blown away by details of a good haircut.

So Corso started cutting hair in his basement and eventually got his barber license. The shop's six barbers will do traditional and trendy haircuts, but they specialize in creative styles cut with razors and sometimes dyed. Often, customers will have something in Barbers at The Cutting Edge show off their razor wizardry in new reality 1 I show ASSOCIATED PRESS mind and the barbers will work with them on a design, similar to what you'll see in a tattoo shop. Other times, people will give their barber free reign to be creative. "I never know where it's going to go," Corso said.

"When I'm starting, I don't know how it's going to end. You kind of ju4 throw your lines in and take it from there." The creative work brings in more clients and attracts attention beyond Lancaster. In 2012, Corso won first place in the Bigen Barber Showdown, the largest barbe competition in the country. He also helped create a few competitions, including the EGO Barber Competition held in Lancaster in the fall, and launched an app for barbers to share haircuts. Corso also caught the eye of producers who saw a niche for a show about great haircuts, something that has value in pop culture but is under the radar, said Flavio Morales, executive vice president of BIG VIDA Entertainment, a Burbank, Calif production company.

He looked for a barbershop with great characters and a great dynamic, he said. In Corso and the crew at The Cutting Edge, he found hard-working young barbers willing to amp up their personalities for the cameras. "There's a really strong brotherhood," Morales said. "They're also goofy." The company filmed a pilot, and once El Rey network bought the show, the camera crew returned during the summer to film seven more episodes. Filming made the shop a little crowded and pushed the barbers to work long days.

"Just trying to do that, run a business and cut my clients, it was definitely a challenge," Corso said. Most customers signed a waiver, agreeing to be on the show. There were some who didn't CUTTING, page B3 PSYCHOLOGY ERIN NEGLEY ENEGLEY a LNPNEWS.COM Believe it or not, there may be some science behind why men like women with curvy backsides. A group of psychology researchers at the University of Texas at Austin claim to have solved the mystery. They blame it on evolution.

The fact that backsides are having yet another moment is not new. But what these researchers found may explain why butts have been put on a pedestal, from songs and style and sometimes even breaking the Internet. First, the researchers want you to know that it is not the size per se that matters, but rather the angle of the 13 El 1, t.

The researchers discovered an optimal angle of lumbar curvature that makes a booty not only look just right, but also enables women to have multiple safe pregnancies.

So beauty isn't arbitrary, but something that's grounded in the past, the researchers argued in the study published in Evolution and Human Behavior journal. The research involved two studies. One had men rating the attractiveness of images of women with different spinal curves. The results show the men were attracted to women with a 45-degree curve, which skewed on the cur I Clockwise from top: Barbers at work at The Cutting Edge; Cutting Edge founder Amit Corso creates a patterned cut for Bryan Sanchez; Braxton Williams gets a haircut at The Cutting Edge in Lancaster.

The second study explored if men prefer this angle itself or a larger backside. Participants consistently chose images of that optimal curve, regardless of the size of the booty. So why is booty shelf worth scientific research? "Men would often mention the butt, but not the size of the butt," Dr. David M. G.

Lewis, who led the research, said in an email. "It was something else, but they couldn't seem to put their finger on exactly what."
