About
Hi! I have been doing this about 7 years. Kids seem to like my work and it puts them in a good mood. I use high-quality materials and work until every paint-ee is satisfied. I am fully vaccinated/boosted. I paint kids age 3+ and also can provide glitter tattoos.
Please note that if you're interested in my services, when I receive the deposit, *that* holds the booking. Please let me know if you have any questions. I charge for travel time if it's more than 30 minutes driving from wherever I am previously (my home or a previous gig). This is $30/hr

Sarah did an amazing job at my daughter Jaylany’s 5th birthday party! 🎨🥳 The kids absolutely loved her, and she was so great with all of them. Her facepainting artwork was incredible — so detailed, creative, and beautifully done!
She definitely helped make Jaylany’s birthday extra special. I would 100% recommend Sarah to anyone looking for a talented face painter for a birthday party or event. Thank you again, Sarah! ❤️🎉

She works well with children and adults, has a wide range of what she can pain. she is willing to switch it up and accommodate the kids ideas. She was punctual, pleasant demeanor and we would recommended to anyone needing a face painter. We would absolutely have her back when we have another event.

Sarah did an amazing job! And not only did she show up early, she even stayed later to paint extra kids’ faces. It really made my son’s birthday party. Thank you again!
