Specialty: I am passionate about advanced skin care treatments that can truly make significant changes in the skin.

Specialty: I have been involved in the skincare industry for the last five years and with each passing year I find myself loving what I do more than the year before.  It is my passion to help educate people on all aspects of skin and its overall health.   As a current member of

about new techniques and modalities that will make an everlasting difference involving your skin.

My goal as your Esthetician is to address your questions about the ever changing skincare industry.  I want to help you filter out what is not working for you and introduce you to things that can make a dramatic difference in the appearance of your skin. My main focus is to correct the existing damage in your skin and to prevent future damage from occurring. You are never too young or old to begin a good skincare regimen.

Apryl K. Hughes
Licensed Esthetician

Education/Accreditations:
Certificate of Esthetics- Miller-Motte Technical College, Chattanooga, TN (Graduated Valedictorian)
Licensed by the state of Tennessee
Certificate in Acting from The Professional Actors Training Program (A two year conservatory type program);
Chattanooga State Technical Community College
Imagemaster Certificate from The Makeup Sanctuary, Atlanta, GA

Specialty: I have been working in and around the skin care and cosmetics industry for 20 years; as an award winning makeup artist with experience in theatre, film/television and print. After many years working with people and their faces, I began to notice a pattern in the mindset of the women I worked with in that most of them felt the need to wear makeup on a daily basis in order to cover some flaw in or on their skin. I was coming in contact with so many women who looked at makeup as a necessity. Aside from my passion for the artistry of makeup, I wanted to be able to encourage these women that they can do something about the health and look of their skin. Makeup is an accessory, not a necessity. It was during this time that I began to take an immense interest in esthetics and skin care. It took ten years for me to realize my dream of becoming a licensed esthetician. Now I am able to focus on my passion for educating and assisting anyone who wants to get their “Canvas” back in the best shape possible, so that makeup can once again be an accessory.

I strive for excellence in all that I do and I am looking forward to working with you to achieve the level of skin care and rejuvenation that you desire. Whether it is the need to distress with a relaxing facial or you want to reverse the signs of aging that are inevitable, I am here to design a skin care regimen that will fit your lifestyle. In addition, I specialize in body hair removal with wax, with an emphasis on brow sculpting, bikini and Brazilian hairscaping.
