A master of many tools.

Fran has been creating carefree styles for her clients in Downtown Seattle for 14 years. Fran loves to embrace texture and movement into her cuts and color. A master of many tools, Fran uses both straight razor and shears to create the looks her clients are after. Bangs and face framing are some of her favorite parts of cutting. She loves creating a color plan for her client’s that highlights the cut and the individual that is wearing it. She focuses on building a relationship and communicating with her clients to achieve the best results for their lifestyle, face shape and hair texture. Fran is dedicated to continuous growth by educating herself through advanced education.

Fran has opened Smith + Fox Salon in order to create a comfortable, clean and creative atmosphere. Her open space has natural light and air circulation that enhances the unique one to one experience she is able to provide at this time.
Fran works to foster trust with her clients who will benefit from a salon and service designed with that in mind.
