New Style: JoJo’s Barbershop to open in downtown Harrisburg

JoJo’s Barbershop

Harrisburg will soon have a new place to get a fresh cut.

JoJo’s Barbershop is slated to open downtown, offering salon services in the SoMa (South of Market) neighborhood, according to building owner, Harristown Enterprises.

Owner Johanna Martin will open the shop at 11 S. 3rd St., at the previous storefront of the joint venture by vintage retailers The Midtown Dandy and Stash Vintage, which recently relocated and opened Found Collab down the block.

JoJo’s Barbershop will provide washes and cuts to men, women and children, as well as specialty services including coloring, undercuts and hair design.

“The dream for me is creating space that people can walk into with a sense of ease and excitement and leave feeling affirmed,” Martin said, in a statement. “I’m truly lucky to serve the downtown area.”

JoJo’s joins around a dozen new businesses, largely minority- and women-owned, that have opened in downtown Harrisburg in the past several months. On 3rd Street alone, at least nine new businesses, including the barbershop, have opened storefronts this year, setting up shop in commercial space owned by Harristown.

“We’re thrilled to have a full-service barbershop in SoMa,” said Brad Jones, Harristown’s president and CEO. “With this added amenity, it is just one more reason you never have to leave the downtown.”

JoJo’s Barbershop will host a public open house on Saturday, Dec. 2, at 5 p.m.

The shop will be open Tuesdays through Fridays, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Saturdays, from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. To make an appointment, call (717) 280-9178 or visit jomartin.booksy.com.
