The Qype Business Awards announced the best businesses in the UK last night, with Hoxton Salon named Beauty & Wellness Venue of the Year.

The salon was crowned Britain’s Best out of 20,000 beauty and wellness venues listed on Qype, Europe’s leading consumer reviews site.

Runner up venues Guy Christian Hair Salon in Cardiff was awarded Highly Commended while Cold Steel, London received a special recommendation.

Top accolades, the Business of the Year and Place of the Year, were awarded to London businesses Sh! Women’s Erotic Emporium and Gordons Wine Bar.

Both businesses will go on to represent the UK at the Qype World Business of the Year Awards, which will see one business named the best of the 13.5 million places currently listed on Qype worldwide.

Other award categories at the 2012 Qype Business Awards included Bar & Pub of the Year, Place of Interest of the Year, and Shopping Venue of the Year.

“The Qype Business Awards are a fantastic opportunity to celebrate the businesses that have impressed their customers over the past year. Congratulations to all the finalists and to Hoxton Salon, Beauty & Wellness Venue of the Year. Hoxton Salon has worked tirelessly to encourage reviews and comments on Qype. Their feedback is a credit to the company’s friendly and expert approach. Well done Hoxton Salon,” says Richard Dennys Qype’s Chief Marketing Officer.
