Tan on the Run

Ona House Calls

Your love affair with the sun ended long ago.

Not because of the melanomic downside, your aversion to sandy lotion, or even your hunch that the whole ’70s Hollywood player look isn’t for you.

The only thing stopping you from offering up your baby-oiled bod to the red hot rays is time — or rather lack thereof. You barely have enough minutes to fake bake when you factor in the drive and wait.

But what if an instant tan showed up on your doorstep? Juliette Pernes, creator of Ona Spa’s Tan on Wheels, does exactly that. She’ll arrive at your home, office, or any reasonable locale, mix a magical potion, and spray you down.

It takes fifteen minutes to apply, another fifteen to dry. And instead of you slipping into your loose-fitting dark clothes and climbing gingerly into your car, Pernes is the one who packs up and goes, leaving you to your own newly bronzed devices.

Pernes will even tailor your tan to your preference — go for lightly sun-kissed, golden bronze, or full-on George Hamilton.

In case you still have your doubts about that ’70s Hollywood thing.

For an appointment call, Ona Spa (323-931-4442 or onaspa.com).
