    I have been seeing Kim, the esthetician at Yol Studio, for over 15 years for waxing. She is great at what she does, her space is always clean and organized, and she is a kind person. I enjoy seeing her every month and appreciate her and her services.

    I’ve been seeing Kim Hastings for decades, and I can confidently say her work is exceptional. She is incredibly precise, with great attention to detail that always leaves me feeling refreshed and confident in my skin. Beyond her skill, she is also dependable — always prepared, and consistent in the quality of her work. It’s clear she truly cares about her clients and their results. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for an eyebrow wax or facial and a trustworthy professional!

    THE BEST WAXER EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I cannot rave enough about Kim Hastings at Yol Studio. I have been going to Kim since November 2013, (DAMN!) and it was the best decision I ever made. Waxing is such an intimate process and can be quite painful in the wrong hands. Kim is super-efficient, VERY THOROUGH, on time, and extremely accommodating / flexible. Treat yourself and give Kim a try. I honestly don't know what I would do if I had to find another waxer. Good thing I don't have to worry about that! ;)
    And Yol Studio is cute too. I love that Kim is in there.
