My original…read moreface painter canceled on me just two hours before my son's birthday party on a Sunday, leaving me in a panic. I quickly opened Yelp and found Enchanted Wonders. The phone rang twice, and Will answered. He was calm, professional, and immediately put me at ease. He placed me on a brief hold, and within moments, he confirmed that Amber was available to help us. I was so relieved! Amber arrived on time and was absolutely wonderful. She is dynamic, talented, and has such a warm demeanor. She created beautiful face paintings for all the kids and even some of the adults! Her skill and patience with each design made the day extra special for everyone. Thanks to Amber and Will, a day that started with stress turned into a fantastic experience. I'm looking forward to hiring Enchanted Wonders again next year--but next time, I'll be giving them more than two hours' notice! Thank you again, Amber and Will, for saving the day!

I reached out to several face painters via this Yelp app with an unusual request. This was no kids…read moreparty. I wanted a couple of faces painted a couple of hours before a Dead of the Dead party. In my home. Three face painters declined. I called and they were very pleasant to deal with. I texted my e-mail address to May. Dan, her husband, sent over a contract requiring half deposit. I completed the contract and requested their Venmo info. They texted that and I paid my deposit- half the cost. In the end there were 6 faces painted and it took 3 hours. I paid the balance via Venmo when the faces were done. Everyone was thrilled with the results. I highly recommend May!!!!

Great experience and so helpful with the kids. She was very patient and flexible and worked quickly.read more

Arla in one word = A-Mah-Zing!…read more I was in search of a local face painter to paint faces for a rock-n-roll themed event I was hosting for Yelp (See full details at: http://www.yelp.com/biz/yelps-november-rain-arlington). In my mind, I was picturing a few KISS inspired faces, a David Bowie lightning bolt and that's about it. Arla was able to stretch the imagination and was able to provide so much more -- from demonic lizards to intricate and beautiful curliques -- she was able to please all types of personalities. Convincing a room full of adults to get their face painted is a feat in itself, but Arla was able to make a true believer out of the entire group. As an aunt of a three year old girl and sister to twelve year old twin boys - - I am no stranger to face painters, but Arla is truly something special! Not only is she extremely talented she is quick to boot! Within a blink of an eye, she was able to create a true masterpiece on my face. Simply put: She is both the Michelangelo and Usain Bolt of face painting. I highly, highly recommend.

I hadn't realized this at the time -- but I have actually encountered Faces by Arla before at a…read moreYelp Elite event 2.5 years ago at Sushi Rock. I am glad to have encountered them again -- and it being Arla herself at that! I went to the Persian New Year festival, Nowruz, where she and her team were painting TONS of children and adult faces throughout the entire day from 11am-5pm. During this time I got to speak to her about how she got into the business and how she had retained it so well. It is truly amazing how one falls into a career of something of this nature. She told me she used to be a professional clown, and won a makeup kit set at a convention she was at that was worth $200. From there she had perfected the art, and has been doing it now for over 25 years. We had a good laugh when she told me her husband was going to be left at home while she gets to work on 2 cruise ships in the next two weeks doing her business abroad in the Caribbean. Clearly she is renowned beyond the quadrants of Washington DC and the VA/MD areas. She has a great personality with quality and is very patient with kids, especially the younger crowd. That was demonstrated with the child before me who was excited right up until she sat in front of Arla. Instead of doing her face; Arla went on to do the hand of the tot's mother who joined in with a good laugh while the child was waling. As far as my face goes -- she immediately asked me if she could paint a necklace on my neck. I obliged. In addition to that, she painted my face. It really only took her 7-8 minutes to create everything if even that amount of time. She is quick and efficient. Please check out my photos to see her beautiful artwork!
