Akronite of the Week

Meet Ashley Liu

Your Instagram host for the week of August 31, 2025

Meet Ashley Liu:

Hi! My name’s Ashley Liu! I am 32 and I have lived in Northeast Ohio for 30 years, and in the Akron area for 3.5 years! I currently work as a receptionist at Mint Hair Collective in Downtown Akron, and live in Cuyahoga Falls. My husband and I have been married for 2 years, and we are the parents of 3 feline fur babies – Peanut (13), Piper (6), and ZaiZai (3).

Living and working in the Akron area has been the most amazing experience of my life and I finally feel like I belong somewhere! The sense of community here is unlike any city I’ve ever lived in, and I am proud to call Summit County my home! The parks are unreal, and I love spending my off days at the Cascade Valley – Oxbow Area reading a book by the river, or taking a walk at Beaver Marsh to try and get a glimpse of some local wildlife. Akron and the surrounding areas are second to none!
