She's wicked talented making balloon animals and doing face paint. Honestly, I've never seen someone create so many quality creations so quickly. She was able to accommodate our party of 15 or so kids at a park with ease. We also loved how patient she was with our daughter, knowing that it takes a little time for her to warm up and ask for things. Will definitely be keeping Rachel in mind for future events! Thanks, Rachel! You truly are amazing.

She is still smiling! Also, thank you for being vaccinated. The extra safety made it possible.

She arrived early for set up, came dressed in a festive sparkly outfit we had briefly discussed prior, and did beautiful and fun Facepaint (and balloon work) for our little guests!

I cannot recommend Pacific Face Painting enough. We hired one of their artists who does both face…read morepainting & balloon twisting for a private party. The booking process was easy and straightforward, communication was always prompt, and all questions were answered thoroughly. Our artist was absolutely wonderful - showed up promptly, was professional, kind, and friendly. We ended up having much fewer children than expected at our party, so most guests were adults. The artist did a great job making everyone feel welcome to have a face (or hand) painted or to request a balloon creation, regardless of age. It was so much fun for children and adults alike. We were very happy from the beginning of the process to the end, and we will definitely book with them in the future.

Hired for a 5 year old birthday party…read more She spent 30+ minutes per kid, and used up all of the time we paid for with a significant number of children still wanting their faces painted. We ended up paying extra to have her stay longer and finish. On top of that she was pestering my wife and other guests for "sugary, non carbonated drinks" all afternoon. She kept complaining to my wife and guests of elbow pain and requesting ice for it in a bowl. Then when the pizza came for the kids she asked for multiple pieces of the kids pizza. After we had cleaned up the whole party she and her "assistant" were still not done packing up their stuff. When they finally finished packing their stuff into a rolling suitcase they flagged down my wife and asked her to ask me to come fold up their folding table and carry their bag to their car. For $500 I would think you would bring your own drinks and food and pack your own crap.

I would definitely recommend her for all of your glitter tattoo needs, and really who doesn't have glitter tattoo needs? She also does non-glitter temporary tattoos, henna, face painting, etc. According to her website there are also characters for hire & specialty acts. She's not based in SF, but that's where my event was so that's where I'm listing her.
