I love Petone - The Jackson Street Programme

06/09/2026

Kireina Beauty & Spa, shop 9, 3/193 Jackson St (Doreen Doolan Mall), had a devasting fire which tore through their rooms on Friday just gone. We know how hard Taryn and her team have worked to build up this lovely small business.
If you're able, please help Kireina get up and running again by giving to their Give-a-little page: https://givealittle.co.nz/cause/our-salon-needs-your-support Thank you.
