The Studio · Est. 2023
Not a barbershop.
A private studio.
Stay Sharp is run by Kim Gould, a grooming specialist with more than sixteen years behind the chair. The studio is a single private suite on the second floor of 220 N Smith Street in downtown Palatine, steps from the Metra station.
No crowds, no walk-in chaos, no waiting on a bench reading last year's magazines. Your appointment is yours alone, and every service uses STMNT Grooming Goods, the professional line built for modern men's hair and skin.
