Reviews
Lonni's Punani came in second on CityVoter for Best Waxing 2009, and the San Francisco Bay Guardian awarded it Best Wax 2008, while DailyCandy also recommends it:
- From unibrows to bums, Brazilians to manzilians, aesthetician and owner Lonni Kutzen will have you waxed and shaped faster than you can say “Chewbacca.” – DailyCandy
- Lonni of Lonni's Punani dispenses with all niceties with the candid name of her Potrero Hill waxing service. Her motto? "Keeping San Francisco smooth one pussy at a time." The name and motto may be blunt, even crass, but the end results will indeed leave a woman's naughty bits smooth and ingrown-free. Lonni, a certified aesthetician and a pastry chef with a degree in sociology, forgoes mood lighting and new age music for bright environs, a rocking soundtrack, and fingers quick enough to make you forget she's ripping hair off your most sensitive regions…And she doesn't just stick to the punani: "manzilians" are happily performed as well. – San Francisco Bay Guardian
Citysearchers, CityVoters, and more than 100 Yelpers give Lonni's Punani flawless five-star ratings:
- Quick, painless and zero post irritation. Wouldn't trust another with my good stuff. – keila10, Citysearch
- This girl KNOWS what she's doing! – Anemone Y., Yelp
- She makes you feel very comfortable. She is personable, and also very professsional [sic] at the same time. – idil2608, CityVoter
Lonni's Punani
Lonni specializes in one particular service: waxing away unwanted hair for women as well as men. The Aveda Institute-trained aesthetician performs signature Brazilian and manzilian treatments, and can quickly eliminate fuzz from limbs, faces, and probably most sweaters as well. Her smoothing work has earned praise from Allure magazine and DailyCandy, and the spa earned the San Francisco Bay Guardian's 2008 award for Best Wax.
