If you’re anything like most of the people I’ve worked with over the years, you want more than just a great spray tan, you want to feel like yourself again. You want to look in the mirror and recognize the confidence staring back at you. You want your glow to reflect something deeper than just color on your skin.

​

I understand that feeling deeply.

​

I’m not just someone who spent years perfecting spray tan technique. I’m someone who knows what it’s like to want to feel beautiful again after a hard season. Life has a way of humbling us, reshaping us, and asking us to rebuild. That understanding is what shaped my work from the very beginning, and it’s why everything I’ve built has always centered around care, comfort, and connection.

​

💛 What I Do Now

I’m Debra - a Master Spray Tan Artist with over a decade of experience building and operating a successful, client-centered spray tan business.

​

While The Tanning Room is no longer operating as a full-time spray tanning studio, I now put those years of experience to use through one-on-one spray tan education and training. My focus has shifted from providing services to teaching the craft, systems, and mindset behind a business that truly lasts.

​

Each training I offer is personalized and hosted at the student’s location, allowing artists to learn in the environment where they plan to work. Whether you’re just getting started or refining an existing business, my goal is to meet you where you are and help you build something sustainable, professional, and aligned with your life.

✨ The Tanning Room (A Decade of Foundation)

The Tanning Room will always be my first business baby.

For nearly ten years, it was a calm, welcoming studio space where I had the honor of serving thousands of clients. I specialized in working with all body types, skin tones, and comfort levels. Especially those who felt nervous, unsure, or disconnected from their confidence.

​

That studio taught me far more than how to spray tan. It taught me how to listen, how to adapt, how to build trust, and how to create an experience that made people feel seen. Those lessons are the foundation of everything I now teach.

​

🧡 What I Bring Into My Training

When you learn from me, you’re not just learning technique,  you’re learning the why behind it.

​

I share the real-world knowledge that comes from years of trial, refinement, client feedback, and business growth, including:

​

• Thoughtful client consultation and customization

• Professional application and finishing techniques

• Working confidently with different body types and skin needs

• Creating a calm, judgment-free client experience

• Building systems that support longevity, not burnout

• Running a business that feels intentional, not overwhelming

​

This isn’t cookie-cutter education. It’s honest, grounded mentorship built on experience.

​

🌿 A Little More About Me

I’m a mom. A dog lover. A believer in body neutrality. I’ve wrestled with confidence in my own skin, and that empathy is woven into everything I do.

​

People often describe my energy as calming, honest, and quietly reassuring. I care deeply about doing things well - not loudly - and about helping others feel capable, supported, and confident in their work.

​

So if you’re here because you’re curious about learning this craft, know this: you’ll get the real me. Experienced. Thoughtful. A little quirky. Quietly badass. And genuinely invested in helping you build something you’re proud of.
