Sarah was amazing! She made sure the kids were able to select the design they wanted. She was so sweet and patient with each child who got their facepainted. The kids were excited for the facepaint but Sarah’s kindness made it even better! I will be recommending her to my friends and family!

FAQs
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
First, we discuss the event details such as the number of guests, location, and timing. Then I provide package options and a clear quote. Once a deposit is received, I send a confirmation and contract. On the day of the event, my team arrives early to set up and ensure everything runs smoothly, so the client can relax and enjoy the celebration.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have taken multiple professional workshops in face painting and balloon twisting with international artists, and I am constantly updating my skills to stay on top of the latest trends and techniques. I also have extensive hands-on experience at festivals, schools, private parties, and corporate events.
How did you get started doing this type of work?
I started more than 7 years ago, combining my love for art, painting, and working with children. Over time, I turned my passion for creativity into a business that brings joy to families, schools, and events. What began as a hobby quickly grew into a professional service with a dedicated team
