Nina was a fabulous addition to my daughter’s 7th birthday party. She was great with the kids and her work was excellent. The balloon animals were also a big hit. I would highly recommend Nina and book her again.
We booked Nina for our daughter’s 1st birthday and we all loved the detail and talent she brought with her! Being able to paint a busy one year olds face is amazing! Everyone really liked the ballon animals and other ballon twists that were made. 10/10 service and will be booking again.

Nina’s face painting was a perfect add to our daughter’s 3rd birthday/Halloween party. Nina was on time, professional and very patient with the wiggly kids (and adults). She even accommodated some off script requests with all the different super heroes we had in costume. We can’t wait to have her back again next year. Highly recommend for your next party!

Face Painter was outstanding! She was right on time, which I appreciated since everything at the party was on a timeline. She even got some of the adults wanting face paint. She used very safe and high quality paint, that works for senstive skin, which I know most parents worry about. I also liked that she didn't require alot of space to work, cause in a crowded party, that can be an issue. All in all, I will regularly book her for my parties!

Wonderful!!
Response from Face Painting:
Thanks so much, Deborah, for having us!
She did a fantastic job with the face paintings. The only reason I didn't give a full 5 stars, was more on us than her, as we had a rather big picnic and the line did get quite a bit backed up. My only suggestion would be to work with her prior to limit the options and/or only allow simpler designs. We had some children pick full face designs, which would be fine for a smaller party. The paintings were very nice and the kids were very happy.
Response from Face Painting:
Thank you for your feedback! I'm glad to hear that you were pleased with the quality of the face paintings and that the children were happy with the designs. I appreciate your suggestion about working together prior to limit options or only allowing simpler designs for larger parties to help manage the line better. I'll definitely take that into consideration for future events. If you ever need face painting services again, please feel free to reach out. Thank you for choosing me as your face painter!
Aaliyah was a big hit with the kids (and parents). She was busy the entire time and we started a sign up sheet so kids could still play instead of waiting in line. We received multiple compliments by both parents and children!
