Thank you to everyone who took the time to vote! Looking forward to next year!
I’d have to disagree with the car wash one. HydroClean is the ONLY one that actually supports the community with free fundraising programs and always willing to donate to support local organizations. They also so an amazing job cleaning cars! Kind of sad they weren’t represented better! O well I’ll keep voting and hopefully the community steps up and supports the truly best local business in Round Rock next year.
I would have to disagree on the spa winners. You can’t find a decent hairstylist in Round Rock or surrounding areas. Most of the picks or sadly false.
I know this reply is old, but I agree! If you find one, please let me know.
