A Belmont hairstylist announced she was leaving the salon industry after a three-alarm fire gutted her salon and damaged a neighboring ice cream shop. Lucy Ankner was on vacation when flames spread from Moozy's Ice Cream Emporium to her Lucy Danger Hair salon early last Thursday. She returned to extensive smoke and water damage and a large hole in a shared wall between the businesses. Fire officials continued investigating the cause. Ankner said the fire came after a year of roof leaks, mold problems, and an unresponsive landlord, and she viewed it as a sign to change careers. She emailed clients that she was shuttering the salon opened in 2023 and moving toward more personally fulfilling work, possibly animal rescue.
"Ankner emailed clients this week announcing her decision to leave the industry altogether, officially shuttering the salon she opened in 2023. As hard as this is, I feel hopeful for the future, Ankner wrote. I want to move toward something more personally fulfilling, and I'm choosing to see this as an opportunity to begin again in a different direction."
