I along with my mom and friends remodeled this whole place, painting and all. When you put your heart and soul into something, you’ll be successful.  —Jess Stern

Stern, along with her two barbers Sarah Everson and Ivy Gilday, make Stag a hip and close-knit take on a classic cut-and-shave joint. Here, Stern points out the important elements of the design.
