I met this wonderful Lady at a quinceanera last weekend 5/19 in Redwood City. I was the photobooth attendant. I hadn't noticed her before until our eyes locked and she smiled. She was taking a short break and checking out the scenery. It was shortly after this moment where I realize she was a vendor at the event. I found some time to take a short break and walked over to where she was painting faces on the teens. I thought that was so cool and I always wanted to get my face painted - especially by good painters! You know I had to jump on that! When she was clear of teens, I casually walked over there and was still pondering if I should get something painted. She lured me in with a smile and a kind/gentle gesture (patting the seat chair in front of her). I was sold! I looked at some of the Disney characters on a few pages and thought they were cool. She then handed me another sheet that was filled with more exotic paintings (eg peacock feathers with glitter, rainbow colored designs, etc). I was totally "down" for that! "Which one will take you the fastest to complete?" I yelled over the loud music DJed as I needed to get back to my post (photobooth area). She pointed at this purplish-bluish glitter - what looks like - peacock feather painting. This covered 1/4 of the face. I took it as (1) she wanted to do something different than Disney characters that she's been doing all day and night, and (2) it was not that it was the fastest design but I think she thought this would look good on my face. "OK!" After a very wet dab of the sponge, and a few brushes from (what seems like) a thin brush, two(2) minutes later she's done! VERDICT I am totally booking her at the next suitable event to fit her services, even if that means its coming straight out of my own pocket. She's not only good but she's super nice and sweet. If you're looking a professional, kind and sweet face painter for your party, look no further! She's right here! read more

Face Painting By Lisa - May 2018. - Face Painting Near Me

OH.MY.GOSH!!! Let me tell you all a story. I'm heading out to a 90's themed party. I got blue eyeshadow, red lips, and a side ponytail to complete my look. I get there and realize, I look basic! My world stops. This unique snowflake can't be looking basic. Luckily, I spot my new bestie, Lisa (btw Lisa, we're besties now), she's doing face painting at the event. I knew that my basic look is about to transform. I go over to Lisa and I ask her to freestyle whatever. My only real request is that it needs to have a ton of glitter. Only glitter can save me from being basic. She and I seemed to be on the same wavelink because she got me. It's like she knew what my deep desire far inside my rainbows and unicorns filled heart was. She tells me, "I got you and i got this". Ok, maybe she didn't use those exact words but it was similar. I close my eyes and felt like my fairy godmother was there for me as she was for my twin, Cinderella. Bibitty, bobitty bop and WHAM! I was transformed into the glittering, sparkling, beautiful butterfly you see in the pictures. I went from basic to extra in like a second. Next thing I knew, I'm like a 90's celebrity. Everyone wants pictures. The cellphone paparazzi was everywhere, and I made like Lindsey Lohan and showed it all off! read more

Thank you Lisa We will use your team again next year! read more

Lisa was a tremendous hit at my son's first birthday. Although he didn't get painted, my daughter and many of her toddler friends did, and even some of the 9-10 year olds, too. From the very first time we met Lisa at the Farmers Market in RWC, she was so warm and friendly. My daughter would still totally still for her as Lisa painted her cheeks, forehead, and arms. From beginning to end Lisa has been such a pleasure to work with. Easy. Affordable. Super kid-friendly. We loved our experience with Lisa and everyone else at the party did too. Guests left raving about her creativity and talent. We feel lucky we found her and smart we hired her for our party. It made a special event even more special. Thanks Lisa! read more

I think i can agree with ALL of Lisa's reviewers that Lisa is not only the best ever... but IS the sweetest ever! I found Lisa on Yelp as i was in need of a face painter for a corporate Bring Your Kids to Work Day gig. I must say that Lisa surely delivered! Her email responses were always on time, and she provided helpful tips and notable suggestions that made our event that much more of a success! She was great with the children. Her artwork was spectacular. And, she was prompt and professional. I will be sure to reach out to Lisa for future gigs in which we need her services! read more

Face Painting By Lisa did face painting for my daughter's 4th birthday. Michelle arrived early on a short notice request. She was very friendly and accommodated my daughter, who wanted to be Cat Boy from PJ Masks. She wasn't familiar, but looked at a party balloon and did an amazing CatBoy mask face paint and it stayed on all day - even through bouncy house jumping, hugging, etc. I would recommend them to others for birthday parties and use them again. Thank you so much! read more

Lisa is on it with the communication. We chatted via email and text, and she broke down all the details of her pricing. Highly recommended!

Lisa worked at a corporate event for us and was amazing! She showed up on time, was extremely friendly and processional, and her paintings were FANTASTIC! She is great to work with and we will use her for future events. read more

Face Painting By Lisa - Face Painting Near Me

I had a great call with Lisa discussing face painting for my girls' party. She offered a $99 special for 15-20 kids on the phone if I book early. She mentioned that that she will send me details via email. After the call, I reached out right away to her to book the appointment. She got back to me the next day with different tiers of pricing. She did not honor the $99 special after the phone call. This is her email: My apologies if I ever implied that I could paint 15 -20 kids in one hour for $99. The kids, too, are a high target age range. Given this confusion, and the stress of the family satiation on my plate, I will decline your request to support your party. There are dozens of other qualified artists who charge about $125 per hour for face painting. If anyone says, they can paint 20 kids in one hour, run the other way. Make sure they use quality paints and have a certificate of insurance. Again, my apologies. Good luck with your party. Lisa I don't mind paying the price, but it was unprofessional of Lisa to change the price after we have discussed pricing over the phone. I'm glad I did not book with her. I do not appreciate unprofessional people like her. read more

Excellent experience from both a scheduling and service standpoint. Lisa was responsive and helpful in coordinating for my daughter's party. Alina arrived on time and was great with the children. Overall, I was very pleased and offer my recommendation for anyone interested! read more

I'm so glad that I was able to find Lisa on a last minute notice. We had our company picnic this past Saturday and everyone was so impressed with her work. Not only was she great with the face painting but she was just the sweetest and working with her was a pleasure and very easy. Her response was quick which is always a plus especially when I needed to book immediately. When I spoke with her over the phone, I just had a good feeling about her so I decided to go with it. She was so good with both the kids and adults; she even brought us ladybug & turtle balloon corsage to wear on our wrist. My colleague and I agreed to get matching Mike Tyson tattoos on our face but of course if you knew me, there had to be glitter. I would recommend her to anyone and everyone I know! I'm sure I'll work with Lisa again in the future :-) read more

Lisa is absolutely wonderful! I called her in desperation due to a previously booked artist cancelled on me at the last minute. She agreed to do my party with just a two day notice. She was beyond nice on the phone and made me feel at ease as I was feeling a little anxious about my party. She was on punctual, affordable, and extremely professional. More importantly, she knew how to interact with young children. Lisa's designs were absolutely beautiful. The children's faces lit up with joy when they saw her creation. I am SO happy I found her and can't wait to use her services again!! read more

I first met Lisa at the Campbell Farmer's Market, where she can usually be found on Sundays. My son LOVED her work and so did I! She became my go-to threat for my son to behave on Sundays! ("If you're not good at the Farmer's Market you're not going to get a face painting from Lisa!") Works every time... We decided to hire Lisa for my son's birthday party and she was an absolute hit! Her face paintings are truly artistic creations, not just little pictures. Her "Thing" face was a hit with the boys and the girls were partial to having unicorns with beautiful flowing, sparkly manes down their arms. I couldn't recommend Lisa enough! read more

This review is for Max who did balloon art at our birthday party. Max did an amazing job with the balloon designs. We didn't have many kids at the party so he made sure every kid had 2 sculptures. The theme of the party was caterpillar and he got a pre made balloon caterpillar for my son!! It was extremely intricately done. Max's sculptures were complex but very very neat. He is a very charming person who is very patient, polite and accommodating with the kids. All the parents were very pleased by his work. We look forward to having Max again at future birthdays. Thanks Lisa for connecting us with Max. He was absolutely wonderful and did an amazing job!! read more

I highly recommend Lisa for birthday parties. She was very prompt in all her email responses. She arrived on time. She prepared a few balloons ahead of time so there was not a big wait for the kids. Her face painting was great especially for the girls. We had kids from 4-8 years old and everyone wanted a balloon or their faces painted. Great Experience! read more

I hired Lisa for a holiday corporate event that took place on a Sunday morning (yes!) for 100+ employees' kids. Lisa showed up cheerful and energized, and ready for a day of activities! I opted for the face painting activity as well as a balloon artist, so Lisa and her colleague each took one station and created wonderful masterpieces to please the kids! From the start of the event till the end, Lisa was calm, cool, collected, accommodating, and friendly amidst all of the youthful energy.. I will definitely use Lisa for future kids' events and also continue to recommend her to those I know. Her rates are very reasonable, as well! read more

My daughter is having her first birthday party and I decided to contact Lisa to inquire their balloon twisting service. She's well responsive and so easy to deal. She introduced me to her balloonist Max, who is so great with kids and in balloon twisting! Kids and kids at heart in my daughter's party loved their balloons. Highly recommend this company and Max! read more

We contacted Lisa as we were searching for people who could do face painting and balloon twisting for our son's 1st birthday party. I was very happy to read her other reviews and learn she does BOTH! From her initial contact, I felt very comfortable talking and just being honest w/ Lisa as far as what we were looking for. She was very responsive and getting back to me in a timely manner. When she arrived at our son's birthday party, I could tell this was something she definitely loved doing. Lisa was always calm and WONDERFUL w/ all of the kids. Each and every kid showed me what they got painted and their balloons. It was awesome to see the kids' excitement when I even first mentioned there was face painting and balloons for them during the party...and then to see their happiness after getting painted and showing off their balloons. It was priceless! I would definitely recommend Lisa to friends and family! And would use her again at our son's next birthday party! Thank you again Lisa! My husband and I really appreciate your talent that your brought to our son's party. ~Miriam read more

We had Lisa for our son's birthday party, and boy, I was glad that I found her! Lisa is sweet and warm with the kids and adults at my party. Her artistry is on point. She didn't have the Chase from Paw Patrol in her sample book, but she was able to paint it after she told me to pull up the picture from my phone. In less than five minutes, Lisa painted Chase onto my 3.5 year old's arm, and he loved it. Oh it doesn't stop there! She was also able to convince my mom to get her face painted, and she loved it. Grandma took a lot of selfies with her new face-painting. She's very professional and came early to set up for table. I'd highly recommend Lisa for face painting and balloon making! read more

Thank you, Lisa, for bringing so many smiles to our party! Lisa is an artist, who specializes in face painting. It is clear that she really enjoys bringing joy to her clients. Even a few kids who were hesitant at first warmed up to the concept and everyone walked away happy with their designs. Several parents also commented on the high quality of Lisa's art work. Lisa has an awesome range of face and arm paining designs (Spider-man, ghosts, mermaids, you name it). She also does balloon animals! read more

Lisa is awesome. She is a total professional during setup and coordinating the timing. She is very responsive on email. She showed up early at my daughter's 4th birthday party and in the two hours she painted every guest that wanted painting, including me! Some were able to get two sessions and my daughter had three. She's fantastic, super nice, and her face painting is amazing. You will love her. read more

Lisa is the sweetest ever! I found her through Mints & Honey's preferred vendor list. I'm so glad we booked her for my daughter's birthday. All the guests and myself were amazed on how detailed and beautiful here designs were for face painting. She was able to match the face paint color to each person's skin tone. Even the adults were getting face painting too! Booking with her is super easy because she is organized and communicative with her process. I will definitely use her for future birthday parties to come. Thank you, Lisa, for making my daughter's birthday very memorable one! read more

Lisa has supported Stanford Football Fan Fest for the past two seasons and has been wonderful to work with! Lisa is reliable, professional, friendly and an incredible artist. She is on-time and practices fabulous customer service with the kids & parents. Fan Fest is two hours long and Lisa typically gets around to 45 kids. It really enhances the fan experience and sometimes families return the next game solely to see Lisa! It has been a very easy & enjoyable experience working with Lisa and I would HIGHLY recommend her services. read more

Face Painting By Lisa - Lisa working her magic @ Fan Fest - Face Painting Near Me

3 words to sum up our experience with Lisa - wonderful, talented, creative. She was super responsive to our initial request, and replied with a very professional and informed point of view. It was obvious at first glance that she was a professional and very good at her craft, and we were thrilled to be able to book her for our daughter's 4th birthday party. She arrived promptly, and was able to take requests from a google image search and create a near perfect replica on an arm or on a face with little to no effort whatsoever. We were very satisfied with our experience with Lisa and would love to book her again and recommend her highly to anyone who comes across this message and reads to the end! read more

Lisa is the absolute best in face painting! Right from the start, she was very friendly, communicated well and easy to work with. We hired her to do face painting and balloon twisting for our daughter's 3rd birthday party, she showed up on time (actually early), quickly got set up and was ready to get started. This is not your average painting, her work is very intricate and elaborate! The guests were very impressed with her talent. She was able to paint just about anything that was asked of her! I will definitely hire her for future parties. read more

Our experience with Lisa and her services was extremely positive. We observed her easygoing personality from a distance and saw her connect with each child. They also all loved her artistic ability and designs. She was very efficient in allotting time to each child at the gathering. I got to know her afterwards and continued to be impressed by her professionalism. Another positive of Lisa is that even if she is unavailable to support a party in the future, she can find and recommend other professionals to help out. read more

Lisa was a hit at my daughter's 2 year birthday party. We had about 9 kids ranging from 2-5 years old. Lisa was so so good with the kids. I was surprised my daughter who never sits still, sat and listened to Lisa and got her face painted. Her designs on the girls were beautiful ranging from princess to unicorns. My nephew got a spiderman face and he was so proud of it for the rest of the party. After face painting, she also made twisted balloons for all the kids. I was impressed by her interactions with the kids. I hope a couple of my friends will hire her at their party so we can enjoy her services again. I would definitely hire her for future parties. read more

From the very beginning, Lisa was such a pleasure to work with. I was interested in hiring her for our 2nd annual company picnic and throughout the entire process she did what ever she could possibly do to accomodate us. She also made us feel confident and very comfortable about hiring her - she said she wouldn't let us down and boy, was she right! She did a tremendous job and the kids loved her. She definitely exceeded all our expectations, and the best thing about her is that she gets along not only with the kids but with the adults as well. Everyone loved her! Other words to describe Lisa and the process you'd need to go through to hire her are...easy, fun, super-friendly, reliable, affordable, trust-worthy, and most importantly, fully concerned about the health and safety of the children when it comes to her face painting materials and techniques. I LOVED HER! Thanks for everything Lisa :) read more

We felt so lucky to have Lisa work our daughter's 5th birthday party. She is friendly, good at communicating, talented, and FAST! We got many compliments from parents at the party, and our daughter has already requested to have her again at her birthday next year! We highly recommend Lisa! read more

This is my honest review. And one star because I at least got a response. Let me just say. I contacted lisa. I spoke to her briefly on the phone. She told me to send her an email with party info, kid count, address, and amount of hours. Did that as soon as we hung up. Checked my email later and had some weird responses & typos. Not sure what exactly happened. But another persons email got involved with ours. Weird i know. Soooo as im getting these emails back. Its starting to make me upset because im not getting any confirmation. Keep in mind the party was that weekend. 11/10/18. So finally. I get a text message & appropriate email confirmation. Lets just say. Her texts were HIGHLY inappropriate, rude, and unprofessional! I called Lisa. And told her i Would screen shot the messages, and emails and post them as a review. That is NOT how you talk to her customer. Lisa then explains that she was "exhausted and had a long night with a day of the dead party". That is NO EXCUSE. Bad experience. And would NEVER hire this company or refer lisa by painting. Next time. Please dont book such a "busy event" if you cant handle it. See PHOTOS below! read more

Lisa is the absolute best! She was so easy to get a hold of and schedule for my nieces 5th bday. And her rates were very reasonable. At the party most of the kids were nervous to get their face painted but she was so friendly and kind that a few of the younger kids agreed to try it. Her designs were all beautiful and very well done. Nothing but compliments on her work the whole time Furthermore, when all the kids were done she painted the adults at the party, even doing custom designs that people requested from her. She was so flexible, easygoing, professional, and an absolute joy to work with from the moment I emailed her until the moment she finished. I would 100% recommend working with her for any event you have. read more

My review is beyond late, but better late than never. Lisa came for my sons 5th birthday party (who's now 6) and was a huge hit with everyone. The kids loved her and she was so friendly and approachable. Everyone was able to pick what they wanted and were even able to make personal requests. She was amazing and would love to have her do another event when the time comes. Thank Lisa for such a fun and memorable event for our family and friends. read more
