Rene Jager
Meet Rene
30 years, one chair, and a very long memory
Rene has spent 30 years behind the chair, and she works out of Pizazz Hair and Nail Salon on Jackson Drive in San Carlos. You see her every visit. There is no rotating list of stylists and no starting over each time.
Her clients span generations, from someone in for their first real color to people she has been cutting for twenty years. She also kept the skills a lot of salons quietly dropped, perms and roller sets among them, so if you want one she can actually do it.
Color is where she is happiest, whether that is a full correction on hair somebody else got wrong or a blend so soft you cannot find where it starts.
What Rene does
Services
Every head of hair prices differently, so there is no menu of numbers here. Tell Rene what you are after and she will quote you honestly before she starts.

Before and after
Drag to see the difference
Real clients in Rene’s chair. Drag the handle across each photo, or use the arrow keys.
Perm
Fine, flat hair before a perm, and the same head after: full, even curl from root to end.
Color correction
Brassy, uneven color from a home kit, corrected to a blended blonde and styled.
Highlights
Grown-out roots and brassy ends, rebuilt with blended highlights and a soft curl.
Full highlights
Long hair lifted with full highlights, blended through the ends so it stays bright without a hard line.
Body wave perm
Mid-length hair grown out flat, and after: a soft body wave with defined curl and dimensional blonde running through it.
Highlights and curls
Long hair gone flat and one-note, and after: brightened through the mid-lengths and set into loose, moving curls.
Gray blending
Silver hair with a dark band of regrowth, and after: blonde blended through so the gray reads as highlight instead of a line.

What her clients say
Nearly everyone in Rene’s chair was sent there by someone else in it. Thirty years in one city does that. You can read what people have written about her, in their own words, before you call.
Before you call
Questions Rene gets asked
- Do I need an appointment?
- Yes, Rene works by appointment only. She is also very flexible: if the only time you can get away is before work or at the end of the day, she will open early or stay late to fit you in. Call or text her at 619-952-5690 and she will find a time that works around your schedule.
- Where is Rene located?
- Rene works out of Pizazz Hair and Nail Salon at 7676 Jackson Dr, Ste 5, San Diego, CA 92119, in the San Carlos neighborhood, just off Navajo Road near Mission Trails. There is a free lot in front of the salon.
- Does Rene still do perms?
- Yes, and across the whole range: soft body waves, root lift, defined curl, and the tighter spiral perm if that is what you are after. Perms fell out of fashion long enough that many stylists never learned them properly. Rene has done them for 30 years without a gap.
- Does she do roller sets?
- Yes, and properly, which is worth knowing because plenty of stylists never learned. It is one of the things she offers rather than the bulk of what she does, so ask for it if you want it.
- How much does a cut or color cost?
- There is no published price list, because the honest answer depends on your hair length, density, and condition. Rene quotes you before she starts, so you are never surprised at the end. Text her a photo of your hair and what you want and she will tell you.
- Can Rene fix color that another salon got wrong?
- Yes. Color correction is regular work for her, whether that is a box-dye job, banding, brassy tones, or highlights that came out wrong.
- Does she cover gray?
- Yes. She does full gray coverage and also blends gray for clients who want to grow it out softly instead of covering it completely.
- Does she cut men's and children's hair?
- Yes. Rene cuts men's hair and children's hair, including first haircuts.
- Does she do wedding and special occasion hair?
- Yes. She does updos, half-up styles, and formal styling for brides, bridal parties, graduations, and other events.
- How long has Rene been doing hair?
- 30 years.
- Does she do waxing?
- Yes, eyebrow and lip waxing, usually while you are already in the chair.
