Gardenia did such amazing work at my daughters birthday party! The kids loved her, her work we simply beautiful and she was so easy to work with. I will be using her again at my second daughters birthday.

I was able to book Gardenias Faces last minute for my sons birthday! She was incredible! Not only did she do an amazing job, she is so sweet and personable. Everyone loved her face paintings!

Beautiful henna

We are so pleased with the work of Gardenia. She is so patient and kind to the kids and teens. She is professional, on time, and her pricing is fair. She did face painting, balloon making and henna at our party. She is talented and her work was beautiful. She also works very fast and efficiently, so a lot of kids/teens were able to have something done.

Face painting by Gardenia, she was so quick!

I hired Gardenia for a community pool party event and she was AMAZING! So friendly, quick and great with the kids. She was prepared with both regular and waterproof face paint and she had tons of designs for the kids to choose from. I originally booked a different company just because they had more reviews and it felt like the safer option to go with a larger, "established company", but I was so wrong. They took forever to respond to emails and I had to constantly ask them to send me an invoice. Gardenia was so kind, professional, and quick. She answered right away, confirmed and sent me my invoice. She made the entire price easy and seamless. Now I know my lesson to support small businesses! You can tell she puts her heart into it and she's passionate about seeing the kids happy and doing phenomenal work. I will definitely hire Gardenia again and highly recommend her for face painting at any event!

Balloon animals

I found Gardenia through several recommendations on local moms groups. She was right on time, came with a smile and made MORE balloons for the kids than I even thought possible in 1.5 hours! She actually accommodated us last minute when we extended the event by 30 min due to more kiddos RSVPing. She was absolutely wonderful, matched our theme perfectly, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking to add some fun to their party!

Face paint

Gardenia is an extremely talented artist! The creations she made were so awesome. Every kid loved their face paint. She arrived early, made sure everyone got a face paint, and was so kind! The paint did not smudge, but easily came off with soap and water. I would hire her again in a heartbeat. My 3 year old cried at bath-time because she didn't want to wash it off, told me "it's so beautiful!".

I hired Gardenia for my daughters 3 year old birthday party. She arrived early and had an amazing set up. Her face painting skills are amazing, I'd recommend her to all of my friends. The kids all stood in line anxiously watching and waiting their turns. She also made amazing balloon creations. She was a hit at the party and I'd hire her again for my next birthday!

Gardenia did an amazing job. She was able to squeeze me in into her busy schedule. I had a blast celebrating my birthday and got lots of compliments on the face painting... she's very nice. will definitely go back to her next year and I highly recommend her.

I hired Gardenia for my daughter's 4th Birthday party and she was absolutely amazing! She was very communicative during the booking process and very professional. Gardenia easily dealt with my change to the start time and even extended her time there with no problem so no kids would miss out on their face being painted. She was very patient with the kids and did a beautiful job on each face. My party guests were all commenting on how beautiful and detailed their kids faces were. I would definitely recommend Gardenia and without hesitation would book again.

She was THE BEST!! So grateful she was able to work my kids safari birthday party, she put the cherry on top of the day! The kids were so happy when they were all transformed into safari animals! And to top that all off she made balloon animals for all of them! Worth every penny!!

STOP!! You need not look any further than here! Gardenia is one of the kindest, most talented and professional people I've ever had the pleasure of working with! She came to our grandsons 5th birthday party monster bash and painted about 30 kids and every single one of them looked great! I can't wait to hire her again! Thank you so much Gardenia...you were amazing!!!

Brie B.

She was awesome! Everyone loved her face paintings! So talented and so great with the kids! Will def hire her again if need be and handed out her cards to our family and friends :) thank you again for making our children's bday even more special!! :D

Example of Jazmine's face paint work. She's so awesome!! Love her!!
Tiffany C.

I love Gardenia and her crew! We hired Jazmine as our face painter and Julian for creating balloons. They were so awesome! We had about 50-75 kids at our party for my son's first birthday and baptism at the Poway Auditorium on 5/13/17. The guests had many compliments about the face painting and balloons that were created. Jazmine and Julian were very professional, dressed appropriately for a kids birthday and were on time. They managed the kids well and were fast but very thorough with their work. I would definitely recommend Gardenia's faces and her crew for your children's events!

See all

I'm sooo glad I found Daniela again based on my previous review. I saw her recently because I…read morewanted something special for the Festival of Lights festivities. She was flexible when I was running behind and I appreciated that a lot. She was able to freestyle a beauuutiful design from what I told her with ease and finesse. I luuuv her creativity. She's still AWESOME! THANK YOU again!! If anyone in the Yelp Community is interested in Henna, Daniela is your girl :-)

Danielle is a highly skilled henna artist and is knowledgeable about what goes into her henna. It…read moresmells divine as the henna art is being done. I got it done a day before going to a sound healing and even wore it during Thanksgiving and I have been getting nonstop compliments on the beautiful henna that Daniela created. Thank you so much. Side note because I have more Melanin (deep brown skin) I did some side research on how to make sure the henna looks a deeper shade of brown and last longer on me and I came across a lot of YouTube advice. I am not a doctor and Daniela didn't advise me to do this so do it only if you want to. But it worked for me. I let regular wind air dry my henna for 3 hours. When I got home i warmed up my arm in the henna area near my little bedroom personal heater at a very comfortable warm temp nothing extreme at all for 3 minutes at a time took a break and did another 3 minutes until the henna was pretty much dry 95%. I'm sure I could have used a hair dryer to speed up the process. Then I wrapped the whole henna creation gently with toilet paper and then over that wrapped the area with plastic wrap and feel asleep with it on overnight. Then over a huge cookie sheet lined with wax paper in the turned off shower I unwrapped everything and let some pieces of henna fall onto the the lined cookie sheet. And for the pieces still stuck I applied a little coconut oil to the remaining henna and gently removed the rest henna with the dull backside of a butter knife. Then I used more coconut oil a few napkins to take off any left over brown oily henna residue. Aka I used no water on the henna tattoo to avoid diluting it. And every I took a shower I used soap every where but the henna tat area. And only used coconut oil and Luke warm water in the tat area. Hope this helps if you did decide to do it.
