A Sydney institution beloved by celebrities and locals alike has suddenly announced its closure after 20 years in business.
Jocelyn Petroni, a highly-regarded facialist, confirmed the closure of her namesake salon in Woollahra on Tuesday, leaving loyal customers devastated.
A Legacy of Celebrity Clients
Since opening its doors on Queen Street in 2005, the clinic has built up a legion of customers from across Sydney, including A-list celebrities like Charlize Theron, Margot Robbie, Kendall Jenner, Dua Lipa, Rita Ora, and Nicole Kidman.
Petroni has been described as Sydney’s “go-to woman for plump, dewy skin”, and is famed for her unique technique that incorporates reiki, a Japanese form of “energy healing”.
A New Chapter Ahead
“Personally connecting with clients and sharing my gift of touch has been one of the most deeply rewarding experiences of my life,” Petroni said.
“This next chapter for me is one of growth, where I can evolve the healing experience I have been gifted with, share my knowledge and inspire many more people.”
The business’ last day will be Saturday, August 16, with Petroni thanking customers for their support.
A Luxury Beauty Brand Partnership
The closure of the cult-beauty venue comes after luxury skincare brand La Mer unveiled Petroni as its new Australian facial advisor, according to Vogue Australia.
With over 20 years of experience, Petroni is set to bring her holistic approach to beauty and philosophy on skin health to the brand’s continued commitment to inner and outer beauty.
La Mer praised Petroni’s dedication to caring for the complexion through meticulous care and results-based treatments, making her one of the most sought-after skin experts globally.
Petroni said she was “thrilled” by her new role with the prestigious beauty brand, adding she’s been a “long-time fan” and user of its products.
