Hair Repair Bar by Gioje

Hair salons in New York often feel like a quick stop between errands, but some manage to carve out a space where the routine becomes something more intentional. Hair Repair Bar by Gioje falls into that second category, offering a quiet corner on University Place where the focus stays on the details—whether it’s a trim, a color refresh, or a moment with a hot towel and a cold drink. The salon identifies as women-owned, a small but meaningful distinction in an industry where ownership still skews heavily one way. Beverages are part of the experience here, a nod to the idea that hair care isn’t just about the cut but the pause that comes with it.

You’ll find the space on the second floor at 99 University Pl, New York, NY 10003, just steps from the energy of Washington Square but far enough to feel removed. The neighborhood has a way of blending the academic with the artistic, and the salon fits neatly into that rhythm. For appointments or questions, the number to call is (917) 472-7159—no frills, just a direct line. If you’re mapping it out, the directions will drop you right at the door. It’s the kind of place where the city’s usual hum fades into the background, at least for an hour or two.
