Sorry this pro can’t do your job, but we know other pros who can.
Introduction: I do my best to treat every client as if they are my ONLY client. I am $80/hr for the first 2 hrs. & $70/hr any extra hrs. when needed. There could be reasonable travel fees if you are far from Citrus Hts. Please look at my 50+5 star reviews your see why companies hire me back all the time! As you read on you will see I may work for several hrs or even a day or 2 personalizing your event prior to that event FOR FREE! I get more personal on your quote & ADDRESS HOW I CAN MAKE YOUR EVENT UNFORGETTABLE! Usually to personalize, I need to know from you how many people you expect, is there a theme and if the guest of honor is a girl or boy, or perhaps man or woman & where the event will be held. If it's a grand opening, a faire, graduation, retirement, quincenera, Bat or Bar Mitzvah, Ceremony of Lights, Cradle Ceremony, etc, there are special things I offer. I am proud to have earned a Best Entertainer of 2015 Award from Thumbtack! Since then I earned their TOP PRO status (less than 4% of their artist ever become a Top Pro.) They rate us several times a year, & I have maintained that status for years! Though I have been painting for 30 yrs. I still meet with a group of very dedicated professionals monthly, year around, to keep up with the latest techniques, products & industry news. I do as much as I possibly can for my clients with lots of added value features & I don't charge for these. I go to great lengths to personalize each event so my clients will have photographs that chronicle their photos on Facebook & Instagram etc.I'll give you lots of local ref's - companies & families who hire me year after year because 1.) I am faster than many painters 2.) I have many design boards for them to choose from. 3.) I surely have a thousand dollars invested in paints & supplies, only the best will do for your guests! I use the best, safest FDA approved face paint & body glues available. I also have special powder paint that allows me to paint "masks" in a matter of minutes! I have special paint for pool parties & even black light paint. I have 10 colors of super fine glitter & many colors and shapes of rhinestones to bedazzle the designs! 4.) I think I'm the only artist who not only has a van filled with Photo Opportunity Boards for you to use, but I paint a special custom board to match your flyer or invitation with the name of your event at the top of the board which creates unforgettable memories on your social media. So it could say, “2019 Citrus Heights Bank Grand Opening”. By putting your company name on the top of the board, people will be advertising your business on their social media for a long time! If it's for an individual, it could say "Happy 5th Birthday, Maria!" , etc. While I am painting kids, the other kids/adults can take pic’s with the other boards giving another FREE form of entertainment.) I've never seen another face painter with Photo Oppty Boards. 6.) I am insured, have passed the police background check & I have 50+ 5 Star Reviews on Thumbtack.com! 7.) I'm a ONE STOP ENTERTAINMENT SHOP! I can get you whatever else in the world you need. I get all the entertainment for many events annually. I can get expert balloon twisters, clowns, magicians, sIilt walkers, bounce houses & so much more. One entertainer I almost always mention, is John Denton. He was an artist at Disneyland for 20 years! Now he does Caricature Art and when we come to an event they call us the DYNAMIC DUO! As long as their budgets allow, we get hired back together. He's so much fun for kids & adults! He gives them 50 options of fun characters to choose from & then he draws their face on that characters body & gives it to them to take home and frame. People keep their pictures for decades! 8.) In addition to having many face paint design boards for the kids to choose from, I can make personal design boards. So if you are having a superhero party, I can make a design board w/ only superheros on it. If you are having a Mardi Gras event, I'll make a board with only Mardi Gra inspired designs, or holiday designs, etc. People can look things up on the Internet on their iPhones & show me a Mike Tyson tattoo for example & I can create that for them! 9.) For many of the 2 hour events, I write a Personalized Poem prior to the event, frame it & read it when the cake is cut! It could be for a birthday, retirement, wedding, quincienera, etc. It's the gift that keeps on giving! Many people cherish their poems for decadesti! If you have me come every year, you can collect all of the poems & put them in a booklet as a very cool graduation present! I wish I had one! The poems chronicle their vacations, accomplishments, best friends, pets, music & movies over the years. Many say they would have forgotten so much of their child's memories over the years if it wasn't for the poems! Some people purchase poems for $50 for other events as well. Some of my poems have been life changing for my clients! 10.) I also give cute hair clips & headbands to the girls who need help keeping the hair out of their faces. I also have more glitter, rhinestones & pearls than any one I know to bedazzle the designs! I give pirate hats to the kids/adults who want to become a pirate! I have MANY local ref's. ...many families & companies who hire me and my pro's every year! 11.) I paint custom MURALS, create awesome LAWN ART, have PAINT CLASSES for kids and adults, have CRAFT CLASSES. Everyday is so much fun.I LOVE KIDS, adults & seniors...so I have as much fun as the people I paint! I get to see the kids as they grow up due to the relationships created with my clients which is so rewarding. I can't wait to see how they have grown & changed as they grow up! I JUST LOVE MY LIFE AS AN ARTIST interacting with my surrounding community. I do work for many charities each year...some for free, others at a discount. Why have an ordinary day when with a little creativity, everyday, every event can be EXTRA-ORDINARY!

I had a double unicorn party for my two girls on June 29th. It was a last minute party and I had to get my entertainment in order quick. I used Thumbtack to find face painters, magicians, and other types of affordable entertainment. I left messages for several entertainers but Dana was the first to reply, within minutes. She knew I was frustrated with my search and asked what I was looking for. I told her face painting, magic show, and a jump house. Dana has done so many kids parties that she found all my entertainment. I searched no further. She referred the best magician to me and even made all the arrangements necessary. Dana reassured me that everything was going to work out and it did. About Dana: Dana and her assistant make a great team and provide excellent face painting service. We had approximately 18 children and several teenagers that were excited about getting their face and arms painted. Wait time was minimal since there was 2 face painters. Some of my invites chose to have their entire face painted, while others wanted something smaller. Dana and her assistant were able to accommodate everyones needs, and everyone was happy. Dana has a cute set up, making it look like a professional and classy set up at your event. She uses quality paints and the painted images last a long time. Dana personalized a picture board with my daughters name/age and invitation logo (dabbing unicorn). This was the most clever thing ever. It added a personal touch to our party. Her thoughtfulness was truly appreciated and touched our hearts. Everyone was impressed with Dana's art work and my guests are excited to book their parties with Dana. Her prices are great and affordable, unlike other face painters that charge an arm and a leg. I recommend AFFORDABLE CUSTOM FACE PAINTING AND MURALS BY DANA for your party needs. You won't be disappointed. She will work with your theme and will provide the best face paint service ever.

Details: 11 - 20 guests • 7 - 10 years old • 4 - 6 years old • Birthday party • Balloon twisting

Thank you so much Dana. The kids had a blast. Your face painting is awesome! So much detail. The parents were very impressed with the photo board props and the variety of paintings that were available. You really made their little faces come alive. You were so organized and brought lots and lots of paint and stuff. And that poem, OMG!!! hands down was sooooo good. Wow I'm still in awe that you were able to kick that out in 1 day. You definitely ROCK! I was not sure that I would book you initially because I wanted to see more than what was posted on the website, but when you text me photos and I saw the detail, on top of your responsiveness....You are definitely top notch. I really appreciate your confidence and love for the work you do. God definitely gave you a gift and talent to share ... I am grateful to have had you for my daughters 9th birthday party. Much love, Alasha

Dana was a treat to work with from start to finish. She was very prompt in getting back to me and thorough with all of her questions ensuring my 4 year old would have a great princess party, complete with a great face painter! Dana really is a true artist, all of the little guests were over the moon with their face painting creations! I would hire Dana without hesitation again for our next party, thanks Dana!

WHERE TO BEGIN! THERE WERE SO MANY POSITIVE EXPERIENCES. FROM THE DAY OF BOOKING I SAW HOW PROFESSIONAL DANA WAS. SHE FOLLOWED UP THROUGHOUT THE PROCESS TO ENSURE EVERYTHING WOULD FLOW AS PLANNED. SHE IS SUCH A WONDERFUL PERSON TO WORK WITH. SHE TRULY CARES ABOUT HER WORK AND HER CLIENTS SATISFACTION. THE NAME OF HER BUSINESS IS TRULY A REFLECTION OF WHAT SHE CHARGES FOR HER ART, THOUGH HER WORK IS WORTH MUCH MORE THAN HER GOING RATE. NOW ON TO HER FACEPAINTING. WE CONTINUED TO GET SO MANY POSITIVE RAVES ABOUT HER WORK EVEN DAYS AFTER THE PARTY. HER PAINTINGS WERE VERY DETAILED, COLORFUL, PRECISE AND HAD ADDED ACCENTS SUCH AS GLITTER. SHE AND HER ASSISTANT PAINTED WELL OVER 45 INDIVIDUALS AND EACH PAINTING CONTAINED THE SAME ATTENTION TO DETAIL AS THE FIRST. NEEDLESS TO SAY WE HAD SOME VERY HAPPY CUSTOMERS!! DANA PAINTED NUMEROUS CHARACTERS, ANIMALS, AND OBJECTS. THERE WASN'T ANYTHING SHE COULDN'T PAINT. SHE WAS PUNCTUAL AND WAS ONE OF THE LAST PEOPLE TO LEAVE THE PARTY TO ENSURE ALL THAT WANTED A FACE PAINTING LEFT WITH ONE!! I HAD ASKED DANA TO PAINT A POSTER BOARD PERSONALIZED FOR THE PARTY. THE FINAL PRODUCT CAPTURED EXACTLY WHAT I HAD ENVISIONED. IT WAS A COWGIRL THEME AND DANA'S ART COMPLEMENTED THE THEME NICELY. ALL OF OUR GUESTS SIGNED THE BOARD WHICH MADE IT THAT MUCH MORE SPECIAL. IT WAS QUITE UNIQUE. LAST BUT NOT LEAST, DANA HAS AN ADDITIONAL GIFT OF WRITING POETRY. SHE WAS IN TUNE WITH HOW TO CAPTURE THE MOST EVENTFUL TIMES IN MY DAUGHTERS FIRST YEAR OF LIFE. TO DO SO AND ARRANGE IT SO THAT IT RHYMES IS TRULY REMARKABLE. I WAS MORE THAN SATISFIED WITH THE POEM AND FELT SUCH DELIGHT TO READ IT TO OUR BIRTHDAY GUESTS. ITS TRULY A TREASURE. NEEDLESS TO SAY, AFFORDABLE FACE PAINTING HAS MY HIGHEST RECOMMENDATION!! WHAT A BLESSING IT WAS TO FIND HER AND I LOOK FORWARD TO DOING BUSINESS WITH HER FOR FUTURE PARTIES. A VERY HAPPY MOM :-D
