Butterflies, superheroes, tigers, princesses — our artists paint them all, and twist balloons too. We use cosmetic-grade, FDA-compliant, water-based paints made for use on skin, and we bring every brush, sponge, and balloon ourselves. Starting at $165/hr with no deposit required.
Face painting is usually the first thing kids line up for. They sit down, pick a design off the menu, and get up two minutes later as a tiger. Our painters work at party pace, not craft-fair pace — which matters when there are 15 kids and one cake.
Our artists work children's events every weekend. Detailed designs run about 3–5 minutes per child. They bring a full design menu and take custom requests — if your kid wants a specific character or animal, tell us when you book and we'll come prepared.
We use cosmetic-grade, FDA-compliant, water-based face paints made for use on skin. They go on smoothly and wash off with warm water and mild soap. If your child has a known skin allergy or sensitivity, tell us in advance so we can plan around it or offer an alternative.
For children who don't want their face painted, we also do arm designs, hand art, and glitter tattoos. Nobody has to sit out.
Our balloon artists twist animals, swords, flowers, hats, crowns, and bigger multi-balloon builds. Book it alongside face painting or on its own.

Choose the activity your group wants most, or split the time when you want a taste of both.
The one-hour face-painting booking is $165. Tell us the number of children likely to participate and any theme you have in mind.
Choose face paintingThe one-hour balloon-art booking is also $165. Each creation takes individual attention, so include siblings and extra guests in the participant count.
Choose balloon artThe $199 combination uses one performer for 30 minutes of each activity. It divides the hour; it is not two artists working at the same time.
Choose the combinationThink about where children will wait, how they will know it is their turn and what the rest of the group will do.
Schedule individual activities before or after the shared show, or ask about a second performer if they need to happen at the same time. One performer cannot run both simultaneously.
Say that explicitly when requesting the combination. Share the child count and ask whether the time purchased can reasonably cover both activities for that group.
Send your theme or idea before the event. The team can discuss what fits the booking and the time available per guest.
