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 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.

Very affordable considering the time it takes to blow up balloons and turn them into festive eye candy. Highly recommend if you're looking for decorations for a party!

They have a ton of options and packages to choose from and aren't limited to what you see on the website. If you have any ideas, bring it to their attention and they will definitely work with you. I had a lot of questions, especially with regards to setup and Chad was so good about answering my questions and helping me to make a decision on the right package. Chad even provided me with multiple pictures to choose from so that they could provide us with exactly what we were looking for. When I placed my order, the invoice was sent promptly. On the day of the event, Crystal and another nice female came to set everything up. They were quick and efficient and not only made the stage look great, but also made the check-in table much more festive and the centerpieces were complete with the trio of balloons tied to them. The next time I throw a party, they will be the ones I call!

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

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.

From the first moment we met Grace at a wedding expo we knew we could trust her with making our wedding beautiful.

Grace communicates with you through the process and She is super patient even with how indecisive I was. She ensured my venue would be beautiful with the ideas we came up with. Her skills and experience in the wedding industry truly shined in exceeding our expectations. She was able to match my theme by creating an amazing backdrop with a beautiful chandelier hanging behind us. Her beautiful Velvet linen for our kings table and Cinderella lace over satin blush linen for our guest sign in really made our wedding elegant. Grace also draped our entire venue including a beautiful drape entrance for our ceremony.

Not only did she do everything we asked for but she also went above and beyond by helping with other special details. Our wedding was so magical all because of Grace.

Despite months of planning, the day-of setup felt disorganized and caused unnecessary stress. Materials remained scattered after the event began, which required us to change our planned DJ setup, and one of the uplights stopped working shortly after the party started. We also witnessed unprofessional behavior from members of the setup team, and a child accompanying the team intentionally damaged some of our party favors. While the owner eventually responded to our concerns and acknowledged that several issues needed to be addressed internally, our request for a partial refund was declined. The response referenced discounts and accommodations that had already been applied to our event. While I acknowledge that discounts were provided, I do question how much weight those discounts should carry in addressing the service issues we experienced if they were standard promotions or discounts also routinely offered to other clients, rather than accommodations specifically made because of the problems with our event. Considering the amount we ultimately paid, I still expected a professional, organized, and seamless experience from start to finish. The décor itself was beautiful, but unfortunately, the overall service experience was disappointing.
