Raquelle L. says, "I honestly don’t even know where to begin, this team helped make my miracle baby’s birthday something truly magical and unforgettable. From the very first message, the owner showed such amazing communication, kind, responsive, and genuinely thoughtful. What stood out the most was how they truly took the time to understand my daughter’s story. They were so touched by it that they made it their personal mission to make the day absolutely amazing, and they delivered in every possible way. We booked face painting, balloon twisting, and bubble play, and I highly recommend going with all three! The kids were completely captivated, but what surprised me was how much the adults loved it too. It brought joy to everyone, the kind of joy that fills your heart. The entertainers were incredibly sweet and talented. Aline was one of them, and her energy was so warm and joyful. I wish I could remember the other entertainer’s name because they were just as incredible, both were patient, engaging, and so in tune with the children. If you're booking multiple activities, I definitely recommend adding an extra entertainer. It really helped everything run smoothly, kept the kids engaged, and allowed each activity to shine without feeling rushed or crowded. Also, I recommend adding an extra hour and scheduling the start time about 1 to 1.5 hours before your party officially starts. That gave us a relaxed flow and plenty of time for everyone to enjoy each moment. Thanks to Impossibubble, our celebration wasn’t just a party, it was a deeply meaningful, joy-filled experience that we’ll carry in our hearts forever. It couldn’t have been more perfect. If you're even considering booking them, do it. They’re worth every single penny and more. I truly can’t recommend them enough. The two that I worked with were Patrick and Aline!!"See more

We had a great experience with Tori, and my daughter's birthday party was a hit -- the kids loved getting face paint, balloon art, and bubbles in the backyard. Tori did a fantastic job moving quickly but with care, keeping the spirit light, and engaging with the kids to ensure everyone got to enjoy.

Reviews for San Francisco face painters on Thumbtack

From Thumbtack Customer

Joan is the most amazing face painter that one could hire. She shows up on time and each child is a work of art when she finishes.

Adrianna is the most amazing face painter! She is incredibly talented kind and generous. The kids were all so happy with their results and the adults were equally impressed. Will absolutely hire again!

From Eldon C.

Mel was an amazing face painter and balloon animal artist for our 5 year old's birthday party today. She was extremely responsive throughout the entire process. The kids all loved her work and she made sure each kid who wanted their face painted or a balloon got one. I would absolutely hire her again for another party!

From Kelsey S.

We hired Sara Mae for my daughter’s 5th birthday party, and she was fantastic! She was wonderful with the kids—so patient, kind, and incredibly talented. She could paint anything they imagined, from intricate designs to creative custom requests, and every single one turned out amazing. Her setup was professional and well-organized, and she was great at communicating, even reaching out the day before to confirm all the details. All the parents were beyond impressed, many saying this was the best face painting they had ever seen at a birthday party—and they’ve been to a lot! If you’re looking for a face painter who will truly wow your guests, Sara Mae is the one to book. Highly recommend!
