Had a wonderful experience from start to finish. Nikki (the owner I believe) responded extremely quickly to my online inquiry. My request for face painting for my son's birthday was only about a week prior, and she quickly found an artist to accommodate my time frame request. Note there was a minimum of 2 hours, but it was the perfect amount of time. Natassia, our artist (who also does balloons), was very communicative. She was late through no fault of her own (thanks to bay area traffic surprises) and was very communicative and apologetic leading up to her arrival. She stayed later to make up the time. Natassia was extremely pleasant, did fast and beautiful work, and was great with the kids. While we cut the cake, she got some of her standard balloon sculptures (e.g. swords - can't remember the others as that was a main kid request) ready for the kids for when they were done. I have already recommended this business, and Natassia in particular, to other local parents, and I wouldn't hesitate to use them again! read more

Nikki was simply great. We had a big family style party at Nido's for my 40th. She was a hit with the kids, so much so that the adults wanted in on the action. She helped me harness my inner Mike Tyson, LOL. The balloon animals were icing on the cake. I would definitely hire her again!! read more

We were in need of a clown and face painter for my nieces birthday party and I wanted it to be extra special for her. Some one recommended Nikki to us and I'm so happy she was available. From beginning to end the process was so smooth! She is the sweetest person! She came to the marina park in San Leandro in clown costume, and started face painting right away, the kids and I loved the designs she made. She did her magic show next followed by the bubble party and ended with balloon animals. I would definitely recommend her and will be using her services again. read more

We hired Nikki from 3-5 PM on a Saturday for my daughter's 4th B-day party that ran from 2-7 PM. She arrived promptly and then set on painting faces for almost two hours. The kids were so into it that some waited patiently for up to an hour in line (we had nearly 30 kids there). The standing in line wasn't boring for the kids because they were all into watching Nikki work. Then the adults wanted in on the face painting action because she'd done such good job. Even though we'd only booked two hours, I decided to extend for an hour on the spot given how much fun everyone was having. After face painting, Nikki did a little magic show followed by big bubbles. Even though she could not get the mega bubbles to envelope my daughter as we'd hoped, it was well worth it. We also never got to balloon animals, which had been part of the plan, but she was flexible and worked with the flow of the party nicely. I would concur with one of the other reviewers that Nikki's super nice. We invited her to stay after and several adult attendees had a nice chat with her. I know that at least two parents there were planning to hire her or already had. Five stars all the way! read more

She was very efficient - made sure every child had a face painting, and each work was of high quality. Soon after the party, I saw all these children's face paintings all over my friends' Facebook feeds - they loved them! I would definitely work with Nikki and Nastassia again. read more

I worked with Nikki, who is absolutely wonderful by the way, to staff our company picnic with two face painters and a clown and I couldn't be happier with the 3 folks she found. Alana Dill and Katie Richmond were our face painters and I was blown away by the incredible work they did. There was not a request that they couldn't handle and all the kids / kids at hear walked away very happy. Roro the clown was a huge hit as well, he was able to create the most amazing balloon twists (flowers, swords, hats, etc.) while keeping all the kids laughing. All three were great to work with and were the highlights of the party. Thank you to Nikki for finding such great people! read more

"We hired Nikki this past weekend for a birthday party with a bunch of 7-year old Girls. Some things that stood out: - Very warm and friendly - Great with kids - Arrived early (always a bonus in my book) - Great communicator (emails were promptly returned with lots of good info) - Works well and is TALENTED! She did the most beautiful and elaborate artwork in a timely fashion. Everyone was pleased with their artwork. My daughter especially loved her sunflower and Elsa paintings. (Thank you Nikki, you made her day!) From the start of the event till the end, Nikki was calm, cool, collected, accommodating, and friendly amidst all of the youthful energy.. The balloons she contorted into fun flowers and animals were such a delight. We would definitely hire her again!" read more

Highly recommend Nikki. We booked Nikki for an outdoor first year old bday party in Dubln. She was prompt, her set up was flawless and very inconspicuous and she had the little kids entertained the entire way. She is a true performer and absolutely loves what she does. She had many of the old school magic tricks that loved as kids....you know like the coloring book one where you throw the imaginary color into the book? My son was talking about it and her other tricks on our trip home. Her energy is infectious! My daughter felt like a unicorn she was painted up to be! Highly recommend! read more
