Dave was easy to work with before hand with scheduling and explaining packages! Colleen came on time and was twisting balloons her entire time at the party! She was easy to communicate with and did a phenomenal job! We were very pleased start to finish!

We signed up for a package that included balloon twisting, glitter tattoos and face painting. It was a small party, but Victoria was a big hit. The kids loved it and she was so sweet with them. She also arrived early and reached out the day before to confirm details. Highly recommend!

Thank you SO much for the 5 star review, Fritzie! Victoria is the absolute best and I'm so glad you loved her as much as I do. Let us know if you ever want her to come visit again! Thanks again!
Dave, PopArt
These two were incredible! We hired them for our event which was two states north of them, they arrived all smiles and were absolutely amazing with the kids! The kept asking to ensure all the kids had a chance to get a balloon and some face paint, and they were extremely patient with all the kiddos. I’m already planning next years event and will be hiring them again!

We just had a huge party for my daughters 1st birthday. There were about 35 kids, ages ranging from 1-8yrs old and they all had a blast! The face painter and balloon twister were prompt and efficient setting up! The kids loved their balloons and their face paintings. We will absolutely use GigSalad again in the future!

The choices of the balloon twists was not what the pictures from the website looked like. A lot of the balloons didnt blow ip and stay so we couldnt get the bunny creeper didnt stay intact. Sarah was lovely!!!!! And the glitter tattoos were great. Overall i was not blown away! 😒
Balloon Twister
This is the 2nd year Victoria joined us for our party and she’s wonderful. We did glitter tattoos and balloon twisting. The kids couldn’t get enough! Super professional and with a text check-in the day before to double check the details. Absolutely recommend the company!
Balloon Twister
Colleen showed up 20 minutes early and had a nice array of balloon colors. She had wonderful creativity and we appreciated her braving the outside and cold to do balloon animals and glitter tattoos. It made the party special. Thanks!

We hired a caricaturist and an airbrush tattoo artists from Pop Art. They were on time, did amazing work and made sure all the kids had a fun time. We will definitely use them again. Overall, the entire process was easy and straight.

Thanks so much Dominique! We'd love to work with you again :) have a great holiday season!
We hired two face-painters and two balloon twisters for a big outdoor Block party event. They all did a great job. Just be aware that in addition to an hourly fee there is a travel fee and a booking fee, so it gets pretty steep.

Hi Elsie, thank you for the lovely review for our artists! We appreciate you choosing us, and hope to see you again soon!
We unfortunately don't control Gigsalad's booking fee, but if you need anything in the future feel free to reach out!

Kenny was AMAZING! There is legitimately nothing bad to say about him. He came on time, full of energy, open, and with such a patience! The kids and adults loved his charisma and energy, will definitely hire him again! You cannot go wrong with Kenny, he made us so comfortable!

Thank you for the review.

Camille came as a facepainter for my party last month and I she was absolutely great with my kids. Even before the party, she texted me first thing in the morning to make sure that everything was set, which alleviated my worries about if my artist was going to be on time and she answered other minor questions I had at the time. She made me feel like I had nothing to worry about! She was pleasant and quick with her work and she made all the kids look amazing. All the kids were anxiously waiting for their turn and even went back for more! She started to paint their arms because they started to run out of room on their faces! She was so great and patient with everyone and added so much more to the party. Thank you so much Pop Art!
Face Painter
I know there are other reviews for Kenny but I literally cannot rave enough. Kenny was so much fun for the kids--not scary at all, and also so much fun for the adults. He twisted this amazing little Luigi for my son....who promptly popped it. And then he twisted another! He was literally hopping and laughing around the party for the entirety of the two hours we hired him, and totally made my son's birthday super memorable. So glad we chose Pop Art!
Balloon Twister
Kenny was absolutely amazing! I hired him as a Balloon Twister/Clown for my nieces fourth birthday party and was totally blown away by his talents. He arrived early for my party, provideded amazing balloon work for the kids, and even managed to keep not only the kids entertained but the adults as well! Kenny went above and beyond my expectations. Would totally recommend (and have already recommended) to anyone who is looking to have great memories with their friends and family.
Balloon Twister
Dave was so easy to book with and accommodating. I'm a SUPER picky mom and a makeup artist, so I had a million hygiene requests. He sent me info on the face painter and I got to talk to her ahead of time about it all. Melissa was SO nice and professional--I would totally recommend them, and I hope I can get her again next year!
Face Painter
We hired Ballons by Dave to do balloons and face painting at my family reunion. It was such a great treat for the kids. They had a blast and even the adults enjoyed it. I highly recommend.
