Ashley Pitz in the new Escape Salon.
The small building next to the Ipswich Centennial mural is again home to a hair stylist. Previously it was barbers, now it is Escape, hair and nails by Ashley Pitz.
Pitz is a 2010 Ipswich graduate. After graduation she attended college, but decided to take some time off. Later she attended Lake Area Technical, receiving her cosmetology degree in 2014.
Ashley worked at Revive in Aberdeen after graduation.
She and her husband Evan Johnson moved to Ipswich. She wanted her 4-year-old son to attend school in Ipswich.
With the help of family and lots of elbow grease they remodelled the former barbershop. The Development Corporation helped as well.
She opened for business when her son started pre-school in Ipswich.
"I like to be back in Ipswich," she said. When some people come in to get their hair cut they remember coming to get their hair cut by Jake, Walt or Renae or have a memory of bringing in their child for a haircut.
Escape will be open Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. Or on Saturday by appointment. Call Ashley at 605-216-9064.
