The Makeup Within: Dianna Kennedy's Journey of Faith, Business, and Community
Dianna Kennedy is not just a business owner; she is a force of inspiration as the owner and operator of The Makeup Within Beauty Studios in Milton, Washington, and Mrs. Washington Curve' 2025. Her business, which began as an Instagram name to promote inner beauty, has grown into a full-service salon, spa, and Spa Suites—an "incubator space" for other independent beauty specialists.
Kennedy's vision for The Makeup Within extended beyond diverse services like hair and nails; she is focused on cultivating a welcoming, warm environment that builds confidence and community for her diverse clientele and team.
Kennedy balances her roles as an entrepreneur and a mother of seven children by grounding herself in faith, which she likens to a "rubber band that just stretches and it just never snaps." Her commitment to the "makeup within" message is furthered by her pageant platform, where as Mrs. Washington Curve', she serves as a spokesperson for the WIN Foundation, supporting women overcoming domestic and narcissistic abuse. Guided by her faith, Kennedy envisions a future with more locations and a nonprofit to help other beauty-based businesses thrive, all while building a lasting legacy for her family and team.
