The Story of Paisley & Stripe:

Where Passion Meets Precision

About Us

In 2010, Jerry Jackson envisioned a revolutionary salon concept: a space where hairstylists could offer completely bespoke services, celebrating their artistry while continuously honing their craft. His innovative tagline came before the salon's name: “Hair is fabric, we are tailors.” Guided by this philosophy, Paisley & Stripe was born—a salon dedicated to creativity, individuality, and excellence.

Just a year after Paisley & Stripe opened its doors in Overland Park, Penny Strasser-Tuckel joined the team, sharing Jerry’s passion for redefining the salon experience. While Jerry thrived on big-picture innovation, Penny excelled in fine details and mentorship. Together, their unique styles created a powerful synergy. In 2016, Penny led the opening of Paisley & Stripe’s second location in Lawrence, Kansas, and launched the groundbreaking Prep School program. This initiative focuses on training and inspiring the next generation of hair professionals through advanced education and hands-on experience.

A New Kind of Salon, Realized

Today, Jerry and Penny’s vision is thriving.

At Paisley & Stripe, we are committed to:

  • Providing monthly education sessions for our stylists and weekly training for our Prep School apprentices.

  • Mastering cutting-edge trends and techniques to remain leaders in the industry.

  • Creating a welcoming, collaborative atmosphere where clients are partners in the creative process.

Our clients aren’t just guests—they’re co-creators. Our stylists aren’t just employees—they’re family. For us, this isn’t just a career—it’s a calling, a passion, and a way to celebrate individuality through artistry.
