The designs that Erica was creating on everyone's face were just absolutely stunning. They were colorful, vibrant, detailed, and even had some glitter in there every now again. She did a wonderful job!
Response from Aria Face Artistry:
Thanks, Katie 🩷 it was fun creating for everyone… can’t wait til next time. 😉
She was awesome! I love the shading in her designs. Very sweet and professional!
Response from Aria Face Artistry:
Thanks Christian :) Hope to see you next year!
Wow! Barbie did such a fantastic job at my daughter’s first birthday party! We had over 15 kiddos who wanted their face painted, and Barbie managed to paint wonderful designs within the two hours that I booked. Some of the kiddos wanted their whole face painted, and she didn’t blink an eye. She made sure to meet their requests, and to me, that was everything. It really showed how much she loves what she does and that she truly cares. We had a mixture of kiddos, aging 1-12. I had multiple kiddos tell me how nice Barbie is and how they wish she could’ve painted their face for their Halloween costumes! Needless to say, Barbie was a HIT!
In addition to the fantastic service she provided, I also had the pleasure of talking with her before the party started and I must say, this woman has a huge heart and I only wish I could’ve had more time to chat with her. Barbie made my daughter’s party a huge success! I would be lucky to have Barbie again at one of my future events!
Response from Aria Face Artistry:
Thank you so much for your kind words Jessica!! We think Barbie is extra special, too and we love having her as part of our team 💚 So glad we could bring smiles to everyone at your event, that is what makes it so easy to LOVE what we do :)) Thanks again!!
Erica did an awesome job at my son's 3rd birthday party. She was so patience and gentle with all the kiddos. All the kid's face paintings looked fun and exciting. The ballon artist did such a great job as well. He was fast with making various balloons art and creative. I will definitely be booking another event in the future 😊
Response from Aria Face Artistry:
Thank you Jennifer!! We had a great time too :)
We did not anticipate the very large crowd that we would have at our festival. Erica did a GREAT job working through a large volume of children that wanted their faces painted, while still maintaining attention to detail. Thank you for your hard work, Erica!
Great experience, we had less kids than expected so several adults ended up getting their faces painted. Very professional.
Response from Aria Face Artistry:
Thanks Travis… was a great event :) thank you for having us!!
We loved working with Aria Face Artistry. Erica was really good at helping me think through how much time was needed based on the number of kids at the party. She was very prompt and very clear about her needs. We would definitely recommend her!
Response from Aria Face Artistry:
Thank you SO much, Meredith :) It was pleasure meeting you and all your guests... the kids were awesome!
This is my first time I called a face painting artist at my child’s birthday party. It was a great experience. Erica was so kind, and did great job! My guests loved each and every face art she made and couldn’t be happier. I recommend her for her work, her personality and flexible pricing. Thanks Erica.
Response from Aria Face Artistry:
Thank you Kimi… you and your guests were so lovely and sweet 🥰 I had a wonderful time. Thank you for having me!!
This was the perfect addition to our party. The kids could not have been happier.
Response from Aria Face Artistry:
Thank you Kelly ❤️ We had a lot of fun!
Erica is so talented - a true artist - and really great to work with! She arrived on time and was wonderful with the children at the party.
Response from Aria Face Artistry:
Aww… thank you so much!! They were so much fun. We really had a great time :))
We used her for several of our Boost Mobile events. She was professional, friendly, and helped make each event a successful one. Would recommend!
Erica was absolutely wonderful! Not only did she try face paintings she had never tried before (5 year old boys come up with the most interesting designs they want on a face) but she mastered them! We had a superhero party and she had no issues accomplishing that for the kids as well as different designs for the little girls that were at the party as well! She also gave my son (the birthday boy) a card and was so great with the kiddos! We had a wonderful time, all went smoothly, and she did a great job on top of it all! She was also the most reasonably priced compared to all the other quotes we received so that was just the icing on the cake! Thank you, Erica! :)
Response from Aria Face Artistry:
Awwww :) Thank you, Celia!!!! The kids were awesome, I had a GREAT time!

Most designs take any where from 4 to 10 minutes, depending on the complexity.
Full face and neck designs can usually be completed in a hour or less.
Full body painting can take several hours.
We do offer Speed Painting. We have a menu of 8-10 designs that can be done in less than 1 minute. These designs are NOT just cheek art. They are half face, eye and mask designs that will still wow your guests :) This makes it possible to get thru up to 40 guests per hour with the help of a line manager. Perfect for high volume school or corporate events. Contact us for details.
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
ALWAYS book enough time to get everyone painted. Even if you don't think a certain person will want to participate, as soon as they see the others... they always do.
Cheek art can sometimes take longer than full face or half face designs... line work for smaller designs is much harder than painting a tiger or kitty face. We can accommodate almost any request :)
What questions should customers think through before talking to professionals about their project?
Think about what designs you would like your painter to offer.
Do you want designs created around a theme, or can each participant pick their own? We can always bring a sample board for your guests to choose from, but sometimes adding faces that match your theme makes the pictures extra FUN!
Decide on a budget. Our hourly rate is $125, but 1 artist can't paint 60 kids in 1 hour. Be realistic with your expectations. Our typical booking is a MINIMUM 2 hours for 20 guests.
Do you want a professional or Aunt Sally to come and paint your child and her friends? I KNOW Aunt Sally is always cheaper, but my team and I paint fulltime. We study and practice and am up to date on ALL the current products and designs. We are artists and LOVE our jobs and it shows in our work :)
Do you need additional entertainers?
We do have a team of painters so no event is too large. We also contract with other local artists. Do you need Balloons or a Costume Characters? Henna or a Caricature Artist? We know some!! Just ask and we can get you set up :)
We only partner with Artists that we PERSONALLY know, have met, worked with and TRUST to represent our Brand. Some of the larger entertainment companies can't say that. They just send the job to whichever artist they have in their database that is available for that time slot.. you never know who you might get.
We are a small, but mighty, business and appreciate each and everyone of the lives we can make a little brighter with our paints, brushes and balloons... I hope we can bring smiles to your next event, too!
We are a team of mature, family friendly artists who LOVE what we do! The best feeling in the world is seeing the smile spread across a clients face when they look in the mirror and see their finished face :)
