When Signal Mountain resident Apryl Hughes had her daughter in 2010, she was living in Los Angeles at the time, and she soon realized she would be raising her on her own.
A trained actress who had been working as a professional makeup artist and stylist for 20 years, Hughes said she had moved to LA to chase the dream, but considering her new role as a single mom, the Chattanooga native decided to move back home and pursue work that would allow her to be home with her daughter.
“I spent the majority of my career marketing myself to other people’s projects,” she said. “I really wanted to focus on how I could work from home.”
Hughes chose Signal Mountain for her home upon her return because she loves the area and wanted her daughter, now in kindergarten, to attend Thrasher Elementary.
She recently launched ReMake Me, a business centered on teaching other women how to better take care of themselves, from surface issues such as skin care and makeup application to how to improve the inner self.
