liberate your hair
You Are Beautiful
Kitsune Salon specializes in customer care.
At Kitsune we believe that taking the time to talk to our clients, really listening to what they are looking for, makes all the difference. We work with our clients and educate them on their hair type so they can find a style that feels comfortable and suits their day to day styling routine.
What does Kitsune mean?
Kitsune is the literal Japanese translation for fox, but more so means ‘fox spirit’. Foxes are depicted as intelligent beings possessing paranormal abilities that increase with their age and wisdom. They have the ability to shape shift and are often portrayed as faithful guardians, friends, and lovers.
We feel that, like the kitsune, we are able to transform or shape shift through the art of changing our hair.

“And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we’re liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.

Roxanne Ranel-Owner/Stylist (She/Her)
With over a decade of working behind the chair under my belt, I can honestly say I specialize in customer care. I like to take the time to listen to my clients, to work to educate them on their hair type. That way we can find a style that they feel comfortable in that suits their day-to-day styling routine. Whether you want a pixie cut or a fade, just a trim or to chop it all off, if your hair is thick, thin, curly, or you just have some crazy cowlicks I’m here to help you tame that mane! I also love doing color, from natural to mermaid hair, and specialize in Pulp Riot color line.
When I’m not at the shop I love being in nature. Born and raised in the Pacific Northwest I feel most at home in the mountains or on the coast. My partner and I have a son and three cats. I love to paint, cook, and garden.

Morgana Hardy (She/Her)
Morgana is happy anytime she can make someone feel stylish, or more confident. Her goal is to help every client find the hair that lets them unlock their truest most confident self, and experience their maximum number of great hair days! She specializes in curls and dimensional color. She also loves balayage, warm brunettes, razor cuts, bobs, and the occasional updo.
Before beginning her career as a hairstylist, Morgana worked in fine art. That creativity, love of working with her hands, and learning, led her to the beauty industry. She focused on skincare and makeup artistry for many years until falling in love with hair and focusing on that as her primary passion.
When not in the salon, she can be found thrifting with her partner Jen, crafting, cooking, or researching mythology, true crime, and Old Hollywood.

Sara Jean
With a kind, thoughtful, and intuitive approach to hair styling I love to make women look and feel their best. I believe that a strong and beautiful cut is central to creating great style. I specialize in fine and thinning hair; utilizing specific cutting techniques to create the feeling and look of more volume and thickness, while educating my clients on product use and styling to help them achieve their desired look when away from the salon. I love to make small hair look and feel bigger!
In addition to fine hair, working with wavy hair and long lengths are strengths of mine. I also love doing color services and specialize in blonding and color correction.
I look forward to meeting you and giving you your best hair ever!
