They were working non stop doing face / body painting and glitter tattoos. The kids were thrilled and some even got to remove their initial paints and do a second one!

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!

These guys were probably the best part of my kid's 7th birthday party. I contacted them with…read moreprobably under 2 weeks to go til party and they were super friendly and easy to book with. 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.

I had the pleasure if having their service at my son's 1 birthday party! I was referred to them by…read morea friend and I was pleasantly pleased with their service. Very professional from the very beginning. I didn't have any problems inquiring and booking my event. They corresponded with me mostly thru email, which was convenient for me (since I had my phone with me at all times) and they were prompt with their responses. I also liked that they sent a confirmation a day or so before the event to confirm back drop, colors / theme and layout of the photo. Loved how they made the layout match our "mustache bash" theme and even match our colors! They were early on the day of the event to set up. They were nice enough to suggest And offer me to use our natural location as a back drop (Pearl Harbor) it was a beautiful view...it turned out great!! They were friendly and my guests had a great time taking pictures and even going back for more. I'd definitely booked them again :))

I'm completely satisfied and will use them again for future events.

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.

The highlight of this company is that the owner who booked the event and the staff who came to the…read moreparty were nice and professional. Besides that, note that the company's website states that they "charge a travel fee of $25 for venues OUTSIDE of metro Honolulu." My event was in Downtown Honolulu and the owner said that I still needed to pay the $25 travel fee (just checked and the website hasn't changed). The owner also said a few days before the event to expect 3 staff; however, only 2 staff came to the party. I paid $393 for 2 hours of glitter tattoos and balloon art. The pictures on Yelp and their company website look great. However, the skill and experience of the 2 staff who came to my event were trainee/beginner level. A guest commented that the glitter tattoos took a while to apply, which may be harder for younger kids to sit through. The website photos also show several colors on many glitter tattoos, but the glitter tattoos made at my party were only one and sometimes two colors. The balloon art honestly looked like they were made by someone who just began doing it a few months ago. I think a more experienced staff person (the 3rd staff that was promised) should have came to event to give them tips and to provide more variety for party guests. Of course, guests didn't make any comments during the party, but when I asked a few closer friends after the party if they'd use this company at future events, they said no. They were actually surprised that I paid that much for what I got. If you don't mind paying around $400 for 2 hours of very simple temporary glitter tattoos and balloons, for an age 5 and under crowd (older kids wouldn't be impressed), then this company might be for you. I've included a few photos for you to decide.

Unless you've actually seen flipbooks at a party / event before, it's hard to explain how this…read morecould POSSIBLY be 100 times cooler than your typical photo booth...but it really is!! Instead of taking just one still image (or 5 or 6), 808 Flipbooks captures dozens of images in sequence, then binds them together into a tiny little booklet, creating a unique take-home keepsake that your guests can flip through, "animate" & enjoy anytime they like...reliving those 7 glorious seconds of action, adventure, silliness or romance from YOUR primo event! From the first time (of many) that I emailed 808 flipbooks, Jonathan was extremely easy to work with: totally responsive, informative, patient & professional. He really made everything as simple & convenient for me as possible. After much consideration, 808 Flipbooks definitely seemed to give us the most bang for our buck...great prices (all posted online), no "limit" to the number of copies they'll print of each booklet, free customized booklet covers, free video compilation (available online for months after the event!), etc. About a week before the event, Jonathan emailed me 6 or 7 different ideas for the cover, and we went back & forth a few times with until we came up with the final draft. The finished product was professional-grade & worked great for our theme. On the day of the event, Jonathan showed up almost 2 hours early--basically the earliest we were admitted into the venue--and he was so efficient that he finished his setup over an hour before the party started...then offered to HELP ME with the rest of my setup!! Their only needs were a 12' x 12' space, a 3-prong outlet, and two 6' tables... everything else, they brought themselves, including a lot of fun props--some specifically selected to go along with our theme. We were also welcome to add our own props to the selection. A few minutes BEFORE the designated start time, Jonathan & his wife got down to business, quickly & courteously serving every guest that wanted a flipbook. The line moved quickly (& everyone in line was cracking up, watching the people before them), and they were completely self-sufficient. Most importantly, everyone had a blast...multiple people even asked me for their contact info! Before I knew it (after the designated breakdown time), Jonathan & Cici were all packed up & waited very patiently & discreetly for their final payment. They absolutely understand how crazy things can get for the party host, and did everything I could've hoped for to accommodate me as a customer. Jonathan also sent me a very nice thank you email later, and assured me that he took his wife out for a very nice dinner that evening. Did I mention that our event actually fell on their 8th wedding anniversary?? That's dedication! All in all, I can't recommend this company enough...be sure to contact them for your next big event!

(I had no idea what for or when, but I knew I wanted it) Then my son was born and of course you know that a first birthday is a must! So off I went in search of vendors to hire for the party.. One thing that I needed from whichever vendor I hired, was the option for unlimited printouts.. Try telling my family that you have to share a SINGLE copy - no thank you! And what I love about 808 Flipbooks is that they provide unlimited copies! Jonathan was so great to work with.. He was very patient with my ever famous indecisiveness on the book cover and text.. On the day of the party, Jonathan came in about an hour beforehand to set up and run some test shots - he was so fun!! Once the party started, his daughter came to help him out with the printing and stapling of the flipbooks. Not only were they great and fun people during the party, but throughout the entire process, from the reservations, prep work, breakdown after the party, they were just so easy to work with! They are already on our list for my sister's grad party and any other baby parties we may have!

There was also a very efficient system of returning props into a box after your photo so that the attendant can rearrange them back onto the table. At the end of the night Randy & his daughter printed me and my Husband some full size photos to take home. They are genuinely sweet people and we can't recommend Creative Image Photo Booth enough.

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
