Book with MarcusCity Heights · San Diego
A hip-hop barbershop in the heart of City Heights, San Diego. Sharp lineups, clean skin fades, custom hair designs — cut to the beat by a crew that lives the culture. This isn't just a chair. It's the neighborhood spot.
The menu
Straight pricing, no games at the register. Every cut finishes with a clean lineup and a style that holds. Prices are starting points — your barber confirms at the chair.
A razor-sharp edge-up and lineup that frames your hairline, beard, and neck to a crisp finish. The signature — the cut we built the shop on.
Bald, low, mid, or high — faded clean into the skin and blended seamless by hand. Comes back sharp every single time you sit down.
Custom freestyle designs, hard parts, and tramlines etched in by hand. Bring a reference or let the barber freestyle it — your canvas, our blade.
Shape-up, razor line, and finish with oil to lock the look in. We sculpt the jawline so the beard reads intentional, never overgrown.
Bold color, frosted tips, or a clean tone-on-tone blend. We talk through the vision first, then bring the heat — vibrant and even.
A full fade or lineup paired with a beard sculpt so everything lines up top to bottom. The most-booked ticket in the shop.
Fresh and easy for the young ones — fades, lineups, even a small design if they're feeling bold. We keep it fun and keep it sharp.
Fade, lineup, beard, and a custom design — the whole look dialed in for the event, the photo, the moment. Come correct.

Music up, clippers buzzing, walls full of color. Photos of recent work will live here at launch — for now, here's the energy in motif.
More than a cut
The Lineup opened in City Heights with one idea: a barbershop should feel like home for the whole neighborhood. Owner and master barber Marcus "Q" Quincy grew up getting cut on this block — and built the kind of shop he always wished was here. Hip-hop on the speakers, the door open to everybody, and a chair that always feels like the spot.
The Lineup is more than a barbershop — it's where the block links up. Regulars, first-timers, kids, OGs. Pull up, sit down, you're family.
The playlist runs all day and local artists get the aux. Hip-hop is the heartbeat of the shop — and sometimes the soundtrack to your fade.
Cypher nights, sneaker meetups, and free fresh-cut days for the kids before school. The shop opens its doors for the people who built it.
Pull up. Stay fresh. Stay a while.
