I am a past employee of Spray Tan LA. I worked for Rob Lonardo months ago in Los Angeles and I am so happy I got out when I did! Luckily it only took me a few weeks to figure him out and to get away! I can tell you EVERYTHING negitive that you hear about him is true! 

His company scam is that he tells you his company is so successful and they do 100's of spray tans a month. Your only commitment is to bring in 5 referrals a month. That's total BS. Spray Tan LA doesn't have 10 tans a week much less 100's a month. His goal is to hire a bunch of girls, get them to go out get all the business do all the work and only get a 30% cut. Which when he gives tans away for free or for $25 ends up being not enough for a drink at happy hour. He is verbally abusive to his employees and clients. He sexually harasses the woman and even makes scary threats to their lives, which is why so many women will not speak up. They are actually scared of what he will do to them. He is a criminal who should be locked away in prison.

Perfect example.. .when Andrea, a girl who was only starting the process of employment with him asked too many questions, she was immedialtely dismissed. When she told her story her on Ripoffreport.com Rob Lonardo posted all of her personal information online, including her DL# and SSN as well as her address and phone number. This is ILLEGAL!

A businessman who had nothing to hide would have ignored what Andrea said as if she were not worth his time. The fact that he not only defended himself by calling her psycho but commited a crime by divulging her personal information just proves what kind of person he is. If he were an educated, knowlegeable businessman he would have never compromised himself or his comapany by doing such a thing as putting her information online for the public. Did he really think people would turn on this poor girl because he said she way lying?
 
All you have to do is google Rob Lonardo's name and you will see the 100's of complaints and comments on his charater. The lawsuits, the people who were robbed, the racism, the woman harassed. He is completely incapabale of taking any accountability for his actions. He is a narsisitic sociapath. STAY AWAY HOUSTON!!!!! He is hazarradess to your future!

#7 REBUTTAL Owner of company

All of these defaming posts are fictitious and by a former disgruntled associate

AUTHOR: Rob Lonardo - (USA)

POSTED: Monday, March 07, 2011

My name is Robert Lonardo and I am the owner of Spray Tan Los Angeles.  None of these reports that are defaming myself or my company are true.  Every person who placed a post on this website has done so anonymously and is the doing of a contractor we terminated named Andrea Somerville.  There are 16 of us who have filed criminal charges with the Houston Police Department's homicide division against Andrea Marcella Somerville for harassment, stalking, assault, and battery.
 A copy of the police report will be uploaded to this website.  The Houston police report number is 22330911G.

Please do not pay any attention to these posts by a disgruntled former business associate.  This is not reflective on my company and as you can see from her defaming posts nothing to do with our tanning business as well an me.

Here is all of my information as I have nothing to hide.  However, I do have a company and staff to be quite proud of! :>  It is VERY sad that the internet and websites like this have allowed mentally challenged people to use their keyboards as weapons of mass destruction.  Hopefully congress will limit what can be said and posted on the web to protect us all from these keyboard terrorists.

Thank you and good luck to all!

False Vicious Report

AUTHOR: jackie - (United States of America)

POSTED: Sunday, February 27, 2011

I find these accusations very hard to believe. I currently work for Rob Lonardo at Spray Tan LA, not only have I been successful and busy with his company but he has always been a professional business man with an easy going nice character. In this type of industry you are your business and you can make as much $$$ as you desire if you build your business. Whoever wrote this vicious report is obviously immature and should get a job waiting tables or at any normal tanning salon, which by the way you will only make 10% of your sales and airbrushing. Rob is very generous with his airbrush artists if they work responsibly, as an artist I know you will get what you put into your work.

This report was written by a girl who is not mature enough to build a book of business or act professionally.

That's nothing.

  The first time he posted her Social Security number.     There's simply no excuse for any company to do that.  Their actions speak much louder than the lame rebuttals.

I just think it's funny that she files a complaint that the owner puts personal information on the internet. As a rebuttal an "employee" or owner put her personal information on here. Sounds like case closed to me..

Support Spary Tan LA

AUTHOR: Roxanne - (United States of America)

POSTED: Thursday, February 24, 2011

Spray Tan LA has the best organic solution!  It does not smell and the color is very nautral. 

I have had the pleasure to meet the owner Rob and he has been nothing but kind to me.  He runs a very good business and has a great product, he is willing to give opportunity to people to make money with his business idea.  That definitely does not make him anything bu the giret a great person!

I think it's quite scandalous that a disgruntled girl who was let go due to showing up for work intoxicated and then rejected when she made sexual advances towards Rob, posts all these lies on this website. 

The only negative effect from these ridiculous posts are towards the girl who is posting them.  She is obviously got a few screws loose and is a complete nut job!

Please support Spray Tan LA and the wonderful company it is!

Spray Tan LA isnt a scam

AUTHOR: suzie ford - (United States of America)

POSTED: Wednesday, February 23, 2011

I am a current employee of Spray Tan LA in Houston, I have been employed for 3 weeks and have received nothing but respect from the owner Rob Lonardo. He has been very helpful and I have enjoyed working for the company. My boyfriend and I both have been at Robs place and havent heard or seen any of the claims these girls are talking about.
