H2O Salon/Spa Named Business of Excellence

BEDFORD—H2O Salon/Spa has been selected as a winner in New Hampshire Business Review’s 2012
Business Excellence Awards, which honors small business owners and operators in 12 industry categories. H2O Salon/Spa, owned and operated by Heather Owen, was
honored in the retail category.

“The Business Excellence Awards, which celebrated their 10^th anniversary, have become a great vehicle for honoring the vision, innovation and tenacity of the
state’s small business community,” said Jeff Feingold, editor of NHBR.

H2O Salon/Spa, in the Bedford Grove shopping center on South River Road, has won numerous statewide
and national awards for its world-class services, based on a philosophy of ongoing education for its professional staff and only offering the best and most natural products.

H2O was named Best in New Hampshire three times by New Hampshire Magazine. Elle magazine selected H2O as one of the Top 100 Salons in the U.S. (the only one in New
Hampshire to be so honored).

“I am so honored to accept this award for H2O Salon/Spa of Bedford,” Owen said. “In the past six years, we’ve earned several state and national awards. I believe it’s
because of our philosophy of treating every client as a VIP, that all of our professionals are committed to a program of ongoing education with experts in the field, and that we use and offer only the best, most natural hair, skin and
nail-care products in our salon.

“We also pride ourselves on giving back to the community, because everyone deserves to feel beautiful,” Owen added. “When you look your best, you have the confidence
to tackle any challenge.”
