Sarah was terrific! My daughter's party was on a Friday afternoon and of course right during rush hour. She called me to tell me she might be late which I very much appreciated but she still ended up being on time. :) She got to work right away and I was highly impressed with her creativity and range of artwork displayed on the faces of my daughter's birthday attendees! Every child who wanted their face painted was able to take a turn and get what they wanted. She had drawn everything from a puppy dog face, to a creative green snake, a mermaid-theme etc. She was fantastic and I would definitely hire her again!

I hired Sarah for my daughter’s first birthday. My experience was great from beginning to end. She was quick and clear with communication, and her work was wonderful! All of my guests that got their face painted (ages 2yrs-50yrs) were very happy. I loved every design she did. If you’re looking to hire a face painter, she is the person! I will definitely hire her again if we need for another event. Thank you Sarah!

Sarah was the best! We had a Christmas party with 30+ kids and decided to hire a face painter as some entertainment for them. Found Sarah randomly here and we feel like we hit the jackpot with her! The work was amazing, the kids all loved her and their awesome facial art, the room we set up for face painting was willed with all the other kids waiting and having fun watching. A lot of the parents also had some cute work done and she was the hit of the party, rivaled only by when Santa walked in the door. We will absolutely hire her again for any future parties we have for the kids!

What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I ask if s/he wants me to bring my own table and chairs, and if s/he has any particular designs in mind, such as for a theme party.

I'm self-taught, mostly from youtube videos.
