If you're anything like most of my clients, you want more than just a spray tan — you want to feel like you again. You want to look in the mirror and feel fresh, confident, and like your glow reflects something deeper.

I understand that feeling. I'm not just someone who sprays people with bronzer — I'm someone who knows what it’s like to want to feel beautiful again after a hard season. I’ve been through enough life to know that confidence isn’t always easy to come by, and it’s one of the reasons I’ve built my business around care, comfort, and connection.

​

💛 What I Do

​

I’m Debra — a Master Spray Tan Artist with over a decade of hands-on experience, and the founder of both The Tanning Room (my studio in Lake Elmo, MN) and The Bronze Dispatch, my mobile tanning service serving the north metro.

​

Every tan I apply is custom-blended and personally crafted using eco-certified, organic ingredients and a proven three-step method. Whether you’re prepping for a big event, a vacation, or simply want to feel like your best self, I’ll guide you through the process with care and attention to detail — no judgment, no pressure, no rushed sessions.

​

✨ The Tanning Room (Lake Elmo, MN)

​

The Tanning Room is my first business baby — a calm, welcoming studio space where I’ve had the honor of tanning thousands of clients over the years. I specialize in working with all body types, skin tones, and comfort levels, and I take pride in making even the most nervous first-timers feel totally at ease.

Here, you’ll never feel rushed or like “just another appointment.” You’ll receive a completely customized tan that feels natural, comfortable, and true to you — applied by someone who truly cares about your experience.

​

🚐 The Bronze Dispatch (North Metro – Lino Lakes, Blaine, Hugo, & more)

​

As the needs of my clients evolved — and, honestly, as my own life changed — I created The Bronze Dispatch, a mobile spray tanning option that brings the same high-quality, personalized experience directly to your home.

This is perfect for clients who want flexibility, privacy, or simply the convenience of not having to leave the house. I travel with a full pop-up spray setup and provide the same level of customization and professionalism as I do in my studio — plus finishing powder so you're dry and dressed before I even pack up.

​

🧡 What You Can Expect From Me

​

Whether you visit my studio or book a mobile session, you’ll always receive:

• A custom shade selected to match your skin tone and goals

• Eco-certified DHA and all-organic ingredients

• Clear prep and aftercare instructions

• A judgment-free experience — especially for those new to spray tanning or feeling self-conscious

• Finishing powder so you’re dry and dressed before I leave

• Thoughtful touches that reflect my commitment to your comfort and results

​

🌿 A Little More About Me

​

I’m a mom. A dog lover. A believer in body neutrality. I’ve battled with confidence in my own skin, and I bring that empathy into every session. My clients know me for my calming energy, my honesty, and my obsession with making sure they feel seen, supported, and stunning — not just sprayed.

So whether you’re booking a tan or training to become an artist yourself, you’ll always get the real me — experienced, a little funny, quietly badass, and deeply invested in your glow.
