For our third annual Best in Chic Readers’ Choice Awards, we asked our readers to name their faves in the Tristate. From your favorite hairstylist and the tailor who always works magic to the OB-GYN you recommend to all your friends and the interior designer who finally made your house feel like home, we asked for them all and you delivered! This year, there was also an-person event Feb.9 at The Cincinnati Club. In the following pages, you’ll find our readers’ favorites in 125 categories. Thousands of you voted in this online contest and in-person event, making this truly a list of the most chic people, businesses and places in the Queen City.
