Beauty Babes Influence Beauty
Beauty doesn't rinse off.
Growing up in this industry, it’s very easy to confuse what beauty truly is. In today’s society, beauty is a certain look or size when in reality that’s false. Being a Christian woman and diving into the word, I constantly have to remind myself what “Beauty” truly is. One of my favorite verses is 1 Peter 3: 3-4,”Your beauty should not come from outward adornments, such as elaborate hairstyles and the wearing of gold jewelry or fine clothes. Rather, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God’s sight.” Being a woman who has suffered from body image disorders and self-worth acceptance, I love being able to give someone that confidence that I have always strived for. Watching my clients look in the mirror after our sessions and seeing their eyes glow is what it’s all about. If I can make anyone love how they look, even if it’s just for a few hours, then I’m truly blessed. - Owner Dusty McKenna Eckmann
Glam with Grace.
We are proud of the meaning of our business and the reason why we do what we do. Dusty came up with the name “Influence Beauty” while reading the word one day. Women in the bible had enormous influence over their families, communities, and nations. The same kind of influence is evident today among women all over the world who use their gifts and talents to lead movements, rear families and nurture lives with their faith. We strive to influence women for the good, to show them their beauty and to extend God’s kingdom on earth.

Born and raised in my mother’s Texas salon, I spent my entire childhood practicing makeup on myself and friends while gaining invaluable skin and beauty education from watching my mom perfect the highest quality of salon and spa treatments. While most children spent weekends and summer vacations at the pool or the beach, I traveled to world esthetic shows and beauty conventions to learn the latest techniques and gain exclusive access to brand new products.

To this day, I continue my education to ensure my clients get top of the line service. As a certified airbrush makeup artist, I have been professionally trained by Professional Airbrush Makeup Artist Brian Sutherby, Melanie Mills (owner of Gleam), Instagram Makeup Star @BrittanyBear and the Kardashian’s Makeup Artist @StyledbyHrush.

I never knew how rewarding it would be, being a bridal stylist. I'm lucky enough to have the prettiest brides, and travel to the most gorgeous wedding venues! Letting a bride see herself for the first time as a bride is the most rewarding feeling. I couldn't imagine myself doing any other career. I have met the coolest people, made some great friends, and been a part of some of the most special moments in a womens life! God has blessed me in so many ways. I'm so very grateful for all my past, present, and future brides. I will always put 100% into my clients.
