Ripon Business Improvement District yesterday announced The Little Beauty Rooms as the winner of its Christmas window competition.
The salon, which is on Westgate, was decked out with pink and silver baubles, pink reindeer, festive green garlands and Christmas lights.
Owner Lynne Stewart told the Stray Ferret the team had decorated the window at the start of November, meaning people had plenty of time to enjoy it. She added:
“This is the first time we’ve entered.
“So many people have told us how much they love it.”
A total of 34 local businesses entered the competition, which first ran last year, and the public voted for their favourite.
Last year’s winner, The Wakeman’s House Café, came second and Saint Michael’s Hospice took third place.

Ms Stewart added:
“We’re just so grateful to everyone who voted for us – thank you!”
The salon, which offers a range of traditional beauty treatments and services, has also won an advert in Review Ripon magazine as part of the competition.
Lilla Bathurst, manager at Ripon BID, added:
“We were thrilled that so many Ripon businesses took part in this hotly fought competition.
“The aim with all Ripon BID’s trails and competitions is to get locals and visitors exploring the city and discovering new businesses.”
One lucky local also won a hamper from the Ripon Hamper Company as part of the competition.
