It’s with a heart full of gratitude, and yes, a touch of bittersweet emotion, that I’m sharing this update with you:
The Tanning Room has officially closed.

​

After nearly 10 beautiful years of serving this community, my family and I have relocated across the border to Wisconsin. This move marks a meaningful shift toward a slower, more home-centered chapter. One that allows us to focus on my health, spend more intentional time together, and embrace a pace of life that feels aligned with where we are now.

​

If you’re finding this message while trying to book for spring break or the upcoming season, I know this may come as a surprise. Please know this decision was made thoughtfully and with deep respect for the relationships built within these walls.

​

A decade I will always carry with me

​

This studio has been so much more than a business. It has been a place of connection, confidence, care, and trust. I’ve had the privilege of watching teenagers grow into young adults, college students graduate, engagements turn into weddings, weddings turn into families, and clients become friends. You trusted me during milestone moments, and during ordinary days when you simply wanted to feel good in your skin. That trust shaped my life in ways I’ll never fully be able to express. The Tanning Room gave me purpose for a decade, and that purpose existed because of you. I will always carry these years and these connections with me.

​

What’s next

​

While I’ve stepped away from offering spray tanning services, I’m not stepping away from the industry entirely.

Going forward, my focus will be spray tan education and one-on-one training. Teaching has always been a meaningful part of my work, and in this new season, it’s where my energy feels most aligned.

​

If you or someone you know have ever been interested in learning how to spray tan or building a sunless tanning business, I’d love to connect. Trainings will be offered on a limited, intentional basis.

​

👉 If you’re interested in training, please fill out the contact form on my website. I’ll personally follow up and share next steps shortly.

​

Staying connected

​

Even though the studio chapter has closed, the relationships don’t disappear overnight. I’d love to remain connected in this next season.

​

You can still find me on Instagram at @debra___lee (three underscores), and my number remains the same if you ever feel like reaching out.

​

No matter where life leads next, please know this:

I am endlessly grateful for your trust, your loyalty, and the years you allowed me to be part of your story. Closing the studio wasn’t an ending, it was a transition. One that I’m stepping into with reflection, appreciation, and an open heart.

​

Thank you for everything. Truly.

​

All my love,

Debra
