​I am writing this to warn other parents and event planners about the lack of integrity I…read moreexperienced with this business. While their portfolio shows talented work, their booking practices are incredibly deceptive. ​The Timeline: ​March 31st: I submitted an inquiry via their website for face painting and balloon art at their advertised rate. ​April 1st: After receiving no response to my initial inquiry, I followed up via text. Only then was I told the rates had jumped 50% higher less than 24 hrs from my intial inquiry. ​It feels like an intentional delay to avoid honoring the price that was active when I first reached out. They claimed "Spring" pricing ended on April 1st, yet there was no mention of seasonal rates or expiration dates anywhere on their site. I have inquired with the majority of local vendors for these services, and this is the only business on Oahu that uses "seasonal changes" to justify a 50% overnight increase. ​Additional Red Flags: ​The "Evidence Scrub": Immediately after I called them out via text (where they admitted to the change), they scrubbed all pricing from their website so there was no "proof" of the original website rate. ​The Delivery Fee: They insisted on a delivery fee for a party in Honolulu area. Given they are based in Honolulu and the equipment for these services is minimal, a $40 fee for a 5-minute drive feels like blatant "nickel and diming." ​Lack of Integrity: Even if their rates were reasonable, I would not do business with them because of these shady practices. ​It is poor business practice to change your rates the moment a customer shows interest in the advertised price. If you value cost transparency and professional integrity, I highly recommend looking elsewhere. Proceed at your own risk.

I recently had the pleasure of having face painting in paradise Hawaii at my son's first birthday…read more They were the total package! I was able to get one balloon artist and one face painting artist and I am not kidding when I say "artist". The quality of face paintings I saw was next level. There were tigers, unicorns, fairy princess, Pokémon and some sort or rainbow reptile (really cute actually).The Balloon animals were also out of this world. Octopus, dolphins, princess crowns a functioning bow and arrow!! I had a party with 50 kids and these two artist were hustling. They had a line the entire party, but they never complained or stopped. The kids were happy and the parents got to relax and enjoy the music. They were so easy to work and so patient and kind to all of my guest. I would hire them again in a heartbeat.

We hired Color Whims for our son's first birthday. We booked a package that included a live band,…read morelight MCing, face painting and balloons. We were in corespondence with Kelly who was helpful in getting us the package we needed. We also got a 10 percent discount from Yelp! Kelly was our point person and helped coordinate our timeline. She also was the laision with the band. Before the party, I sent her the script and timeline. On the day of the party, the band showed up to set up at 10a for our 11a party. They said they thought they started at 1030a. I said they started at 11:30 a.m. Kelly (Balloon artist) and face painter came onsite at just about 11a. One major disappointment I had was that the MC refused to facilitate our script. We thought it was farily light and simple, including directions to the bathroom, where the rubbish is, then calling up various people to help facilitate the program and games. Luckily, my sister in law stepped in and did the MCing. The quality of the balloons was excellent, as well as the face painting. The live band was REALLY good, loud, and brought excellent energy to the party. Everyone complimented us on the entertainment. Eddie, the band leader, brought us a screen and projector for our slideshow. It went off without a hitch. The band continued to play until after most of our guests left. Unfortunately when they took their break, most of our guests started leaving. In hindsight, I would have everyone sang happy birthday a little later so people stuck around to hear their second set. Also, I asked the face painter if we could make announcement that they would be closing in 15 minutes and she said no because people will line up for their face painting/balloon. I thought that was the point. But, oh well. Maybe people luckily got their face painted and balloon early. Overall, it was a little disorganized, but it came together and was a nice party.

Attending a party that offered services for both face painting and balloon twisting. My view is…read moresolely for the balloon twisting. Terrible service from the balloon lady. Not sure what's her name, but she was an older Caucasian lady. They were there for about 3 hours or so and never once did I see a line to get a balloon. Probably because 1 of many reasons.... 1. I witnessed one of my nephews trying to get a balloon and he had to explain to the lady why he was getting another one. **he should not have to explain to the lady why he needs another balloon. The balloons are unlimited for 3 hours! There wasn't a line. The lady was just sitting there. 2. My friend told me that she had to help my other 5 year old nephew get a balloon because the balloon twister refused to help him since she was unable to make the balloon he wanted. She just so happened to be next to the vendor and heard her tell him to "go get your mommy". Instead of showing him the balloon folder of what she could make, she just refused to make him a balloon. My friend went over to help him pick one from the folder of pictures . **I don't understand why she couldn't just show him the balloon folder to begin with... maybe she just didn't want to deal with him. AGAIN, there was no line. ** 3. My daughter has a whole lot to say about the balloon lady. She kept saying how rude she was... In all honesty, I wasn't going to write a review about the rude balloon twister, but my daughter randomly brought it up again after 1 month. She said "remember that balloon twister lady... she said multiple times that she needs to save her balloons because she has other parties to go to"... **again, THERE WAS NEVER A LINE. She probably saved lots of balloons thanks to the fact that the host had so many vendors!!!! Save your money and go with another balloon twister! Face painter was good!

At the time they had a deal for $365 for any 2 of their services for 2 hours each and I went with the face paint and balloon twisting. I was a little nervous that the quality of service wouldn't be up to par seeing as they were almost half the price of the competition but I wasn't let down. They arrived early to set up and immediately went to work and were cranking out balloons and face paints non stop for 2 hours and the kids kept getting back in line giving them no time to rest. They handled it like champs and I would recommend them to anyone.

After seeing a lot of different face painting work I realized how much more beautiful and unique Liz's work was. She does not go for your plain and typical designs like the DIY amazon kits. Her equipment is also professional grade, FDA compliant cosmetic grade paints and she properly sterilizes everything! She does not even reuse the tattoo stencils for the glitter tattoos, they dispose after each use. BTW, you're welcome fellow germaphobes. :D I decided to hire Twinkle Face Painting for my son's 2nd birthday after seeing her rave reviews and compliments from word of mouth. My son's birthday party was super hero themed. The boys all wanted to be iron man! It was so much fun to see their faces light up with joy! I wish I had hired her sooner for other birthdays. Liz is very professional. She does have a schedule to keep like the rest of us so I booked a month and a half in advance and she checked up with me several times to get the location, details and make sure everything was going to be a success! Alas the party date arrived and the work that was done was nothing short of magic!!! They arrived early and set up with their own table and chairs at our party. Liz is so friendly and works fast and very well with children and adults alike. I found this business to be exceptional in every way! Everybody loved Twinkle Face Painting! They were the highlight of my child's birthday party, but the adults loved the glitter tattoos and face painting as well! I recommend Twinkle Face Painting for anybody wanting to make any event a success! Even adult themed parties, cosplay, heroes, you name it and I know Liz is most capable. Now I want to hire them for my own (adult) birthday party too! :D

I had to turn to yelp to find out what kind of fun things do people have at first birthdays. With stellar reviews, I decided to contact Aloha Glitter Tattoos. Marilyn was so helpful with the process of deciding the services and how many to order for the amount of people that we were having. I had estimated 350 people (230 probably showed up) so I made sure that I ordered enough so that there wouldn't be long lines. I wanted the typical stuff. Popcorn, cotton candy, and glitter tattoos. Then my husband wanted balloon animals. I kind of didn't want any from the previous not so great comment about the balloon animals but, what did it matter for an difference of $60 bucks to add on to the entire package for 4 hours? I reserved the services way in advanced and at times I forgot how much balance I had to pay because you don't get any paperwork on the services you order or total. They remember all of that. So, just make sure you write it down somewhere. If not, you can be like me and bug Marilyn all the time. She never seemed irritated with me. A couple days before the party, Carmella (I think if I remember right) contacted me to review the services for the party and reminded me of the amount of tables and chairs they needed. On the party day, Carmella introduced herself to me and my husband and they found the best place to set up. My husband had to break the news to me that the cotton candy machine was out of service, so they replaced that service with face painting and henna tattoo's. I know my dad really wanted cotton candy but... to my surprise... My dad got two face paintings (one side a butterfly and the other a centipede) and I swear neck paintings. LOL. At first nobody was really in the area and I thought it was because it was in a weird spot but, once my dad started and all the kids seen the work, they got in line too. It was sort of a blessing that the cotton candy machine was broken. I thought it was going to be weird to have face painting and henna tattoos. It totally wasn't. You need to get this. All the prices are totally reasonable. If you are looking for a kid friendly party, you need to hire these guys! Even when they left, Carmella and the gang (looked like young kids) came up and each said thank you to my husband and I. I thought that was very nice of them. Something you don't see often. So, even though they made simple balloons, the little kids get amazed by anything. And that was all that mattered to me. I really didn't see many balloon animals. I think I only seen a flower and some swords LOL but that was because the flower was in my car and kids were playing sword fight. I received a lot of compliments on the way our party was so kid friendly. Don't get me wrong though, the parents got some work done too!

NEW STENCIL EVERY TIME!…read more Kids love tattoos. Kids love tattoos that stay on for days. KIDS LOVE TATTOOS THAT STAY ON FOR DAYS AND HAVE BLING! These tattoo artists have bling-BLING! No airbrushing involved! Each tattoo starts with a new stencil which sticks to the skin with adhesive. Glue is then applied and the glitter is painted on. After the stencil is peeled off (and discarded), the rhinestones are applied and set. We went to a party with Aloha Glitter Tattoos and the kids absolutely loved their tattoos! Some of them got one on each arm AND each leg!! The boys got dragons and UH warriors tattoos and the girls got all kinds of cute flowers and cupcakes with rhinestones! The tattoos are supposed to last 7 days but I'm sure my daughter will try to make it last 2 weeks. She loves tattoos. She loves glitter tattoos. I might have to book them for her next party. 2 body artists, 2 hours, $200.
