April 1, 1986 Russell
& Jerilyn Guiss, a devoted couple who are dedicated to the
beauty & growth of a person, decided to purchase an already
prosperous “Polly’s Style Shop” in beautiful Newport, Oregon and
called it “Jerilyn’s Hair Care Center”. Nine years prior to that
Jerilyn designed hair in that location. The salon was small, a 3
station - 1 shampoo bowl arena. She redecorated and recruited
others to come to her side. Locals & travelers alike soon
discovered the side street where they abided & noticed they kept
the light on for many hours of the day. Large portions of
quality service & friendly hospitality became the standard that
kept people wanting to visit them more.

In 1991, they
purchased a piece of land on Olive Street, at the West
End of the longest road in America, US Highway 20. They
gutted one of the oldest houses in Nye Beach that
overlooked the ocean. They transformed it into a hair
salon that felt very fuzzy & warm. They named it
“Jerilyn & Company Artist in Hair”.
In 1998,
business had all the appearances of growth so the
Guisses were invited to open another salon in the JC
Market Center on US 101. The one thing they knew for
sure was it had to be different than the norm. So they
opened “At Your Leisure Salon & Spa”. At the time it was
the one & only hair salon on the Oregon Coast that
offered spa & tanning services. |

In
2001, they closed the salon in Nye Beach & devoted all their
energy to the salon on 101 and renamed it “Jerilyn & Company
Salon & Spa.” The continued determination that fueled the level
of service that was lavished upon early guests at Jerilyn’s was
to remain.
In the spring
of 2006, the team at Jerilyn & Company came together for 2 days
with the intention of writing an agreement that unified our
feelings about our passion for haircolor & design. We named it “The United Code” (Body, Strength, Constitution,) of
our company.

Commerce visitation. |
Our
agreement became a living, breathing document inviting new
life into the salon and in a matter of time small change
transpired.
In 2007, the
Guisses made another business assessment. They
determined it would be a better idea to release the
massage & facial services to other businesses in the
area. Jerilyn made the decision to revive her commitment
to her passion, hair in its purist art form. She made
the statement it was her goal to be the “Best Darn Hair
Salon on the Oregon Coast”. The idea was to make the
salon a place for people to come in & have fun, relax,
get entertained & enjoy a little bit of life while they
were getting the hair on their head blessed with their
uniqueness in style.
The new headquarters
was again renamed calling it Jerilyn & Company Haircolor &
Design. The menu now includes manicures, pedicures, makeup &
waxing services. We feel that these services are the key
ingredients necessary to achieve a “Total Look.”
The menu, service,
and décor is designed to remind the guests of the quality of
Beauty represented in nature, a quality that reminds a guest
when life was more at ease. This simplistic concept comes from a
time when service & quality were the cornerstones of business.
The Guisses feel great satisfaction in their work of 24 years.
Their ideal for growth & Beauty are still in tact.
