Lonni’s Punani

Diagnosis du jour: another outbreak of rough muff.
Cure: Lonni’s Punani.

It may still feel like winter, but that’s no excuse to have your own personal Chia Pet growing down under.

Thanks to Lonni Kutzen, waxing guru of Lonni’s Punani, your bush no longer has to resemble the Outback. From unibrows to bums, Brazilians to manzilians, Kutzen will have you waxed on and waxed off faster than you can say “Chewbacca.”

Chill out to music and check out her cool art as she waxes poetic. If you really want a hair-raising experience, book a waxing party and she’ll travel to clean up you and your hirsute friends.

With plenty of free parking and convenient proximity to the freeways, you can save some time and coin at her Potrero Hill location.

So the experience isn’t a total rip-off.

Lonni’s Punani, 1756 18th Street, between Carolina and Arkansas Streets (415-215-7678 or lonnispunani.com).
