Renae Shaffer

Dreams do come true!
Renae wanted to become a hair stylist in high school but life took her in a different direction. She has been an Accountant for 35 years. When her daughters went to college she took the opportunity to go to Cana Virginia Beauty School. She joined the Hair Classics Associate program in August 2019. Having a background in accounting she was able to help Amy and Donna with bookkeeping. With the Lord guiding them every step of the way, in October 2019, Renae purchased Hair Classics.
She is so excited to serve you as a stylist and owner of the salon.
