Layra was amazing with kids. She did face painting with balloon twisting for my son’s introduction party. To say the least, the kids loved her! She was on time and was very flexible with designs to match with party theme. Managed the kids very well 🙂 Would definitely hire her again.

Layra was amazing at my baby shower!! We had about a 15 kids at the shower and we wanted something fun for them to do. Layra made countless balloons and painted faces and put on tattoos. The kids were absolutely thrilled! She occupied them for the whole party and we can't thank her enough! I recommend her for your next event!!!

Layra was AMAZING! She came to our son’s 7th birthday and was the highlight of the afternoon. She was warm, upbeat and VERY talented. Layra painted everything from lion faces to Pokémon characters. We will definitely be working with Layra again- THANK YOU!

We hired Layra to do face painting at my daughter's butterfly themed party. Layra arrived exactly on time and looked like a real life fairy godmother, complete with her very own butterfly wings...my daughter was immediately enchanted with her as were all the other children. Layra's face painting was excellent, but she was also just very good with all the kids, somehow keeping order, making sure everyone got their turn, and was patient and fun. She was also super flexible when I needed to reschedule our party at the last minute due to rain and extremely responsive throughout. She was just a pleasure to meet and to work with and I would hire again without a doubt!

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I have the following fees: -Traveling fee depending on distance ($10-$40) -Glitter tattoos fee (extra $20 an hour)
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I would need information on the event and a picture of the person hiring me, if possible. Then as soon as I arrive at the event, which will be 15 minutes before it starts, the client will pay the arranged amount. After that, I will start working. I will need a chair and table to set up my equipment.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have been face painting for 10+ years. Also I am a trained substitute teacher, so I have plenty of experience working with kids.
