About

Latino-owned Catrin Barbershop occupies a ground-floor suite at 4598 30th Street in San Diego's 92116 ZIP, serving the border zone where Normal Heights meets North Park along the 30th Street corridor. Founded by Jesue Urbina in May 2023, the shop runs three barbers — David S., Victor M., and Max P. — across a service menu that spans fades, taper cuts, shear work, beard grooming, straight-razor shaves, and long-hair scissor cuts. Haircuts start at $40 for a 35-to-45-minute session, and Urbina's 30th Street location places the shop near the streetwear retailers that line the block, including Gstyle Shop where clients pair a fresh cut with new gear on the same strip. The haircut-and-beard-groom combo runs $55 for up to an hour, head shaves land at $35, and standalone beard grooming sits at $30 to $35 depending on complexity. The shop identifies as LGBTQ+-inclusive and operates as a transgender safespace, extending the same precision and respect to every client regardless of gender identity. The three-chair setup handles both walk-ins and scheduled appointments through the Squire booking platform, distributing clients across barbers by availability. Gender-neutral restrooms, beverage service during wait times, and wheelchair-accessible entry round out a facility designed for the diverse clientele that 30th Street draws from Normal Heights, University Heights, and North Park. Color and women's cut work at Stella Style in North Park complements the barbering focus that Catrin brings to the same 30th Street corridor. Long-hair scissor cuts at $50 for 45 minutes give the shop a secondary clientele beyond the fade-and-taper base, handling textured layers and length maintenance that most barber-only operations refer out.
