This month, we’re pleased to introduce you to J. Kimberlin Esthetics, located at 328 W. Hawthorne Street in downtown Covington. Owned and operated by Jaimee Kimberlin, Licensed Master Esthetician, J. Kimberlin Esthetics provides personalized skincare services designed to help clients look and feel their best.
Specializing in acne management, corrective skincare, and detailed brow shaping, Jaimee takes the time to understand each client’s individual skin concerns and goals. Her services offer clients an opportunity to invest in their skin while enjoying a relaxing, personalized experience.

But there’s another unique experience waiting when you walk through the front door. The front portion of the building is home to Taylor’d Vintage, a curated retail shop featuring a mix of new, used, and vintage Nike, Adidas, Carhartt, Supreme, band tees, and more—with something for a variety of styles and budgets.

And shopping at Taylor’d Vintage is about more than just the clothing. The space itself is part of the experience, with 90s and early-2000s-inspired décor, TVs playing VHS tapes and DVDs, and a nostalgic atmosphere that brings a little fun and personality to downtown Covington. There may even be some classic games set up for visitors to enjoy!

Together, J. Kimberlin Esthetics and Taylor’d Vintage offer something a little different—a place where self-care, style, nostalgia, and small-town entrepreneurship come together under one roof.

We’re excited to spotlight these local businesses and celebrate the entrepreneurs who are bringing new ideas, unique experiences, and energy to Olde Town Covington.
