Our Story
More Than a Barbershop
A place where tradition, skill, and culture come together under one roof.
The Founder
Marcus Johnson
Marcus picked up his first pair of clippers at 14, cutting hair for friends and family in his grandmother's kitchen right here in Spartanburg. What started as a side hustle became a lifelong calling.
After years of honing his craft across the Upstate, Marcus opened Fade House with a clear vision: give Spartanburg a premium barbershop experience that's accessible to everyone — from the college student at Wofford to the professional downtown. No pretension, just precision.
Every visit starts with a consultation because Marcus believes the conversation is just as important as the cut. Fade House stays open until 9 PM on weeknights because he knows his clients have lives that don't stop at 5. Today, his team of four barbers shares that same commitment — to the craft, to the community, and to making sure you walk out feeling like the best version of yourself.
