What a fun performer. I came across him at the Park Ridge Kiwanis annual pancake breakfast, where…read morehe was doing some entertaining mostly for the kids but definitely for the adults as well. It's through him that I heard of the Central Street Busker Festival that took place the next day and his line was loooong! Most recently, we went to his show last week that the Mt. Prospect Public Library held for spring break. That was very very well attended, with a long line of folks waiting to get in (and that's with all of us registered to attend!), but the show was a lot of fun. He did a little magic, a little comedy, and some fun balloon tricks. This guy has been doing this all his adult life--unless that's also a joke and part of his act--but regardless, he's great at his job. I'm looking forward to seeing him again and my little one having the chance to pick her balloon creation on her own.

He is one less thing at your party you need to worry about because he is a sure thing! Truly, he is a whole family favorite!!

From the owner: My super power is face painting, what's yours?…read more With 11 years in this business, it makes me want to write a book about our adventures but instead, I'll put some glitter in our endless capabilities. Here's is our why! We're a team of awesome face painters and a few of us, with bilingual skills in Spanish. That allows us to communicate effectively with a broader range of clients. We can interact with both English-speaking and non-English-speaking clients, making them more versatile and accessible in multicultural settings. Career A bilingual face painter with a background in teaching K4 likely has experience working with diverse populations and understanding cultural nuances. This sensitivity can be valuable when creating face designs that reflect cultural symbols, traditions, or celebrations. They can tailor their designs to align with specific cultural preferences, fostering inclusivity and respect. Having a teaching background in K4 means the face painter understands child development, age-appropriate activities, and engaging teaching methods. They can apply these principles to their face painting by creating designs that appeal to children's interests and abilities. We can come up with unique and imaginative designs that capture children's attention and spark their imagination. We have the ability to think outside the box and create designs that are both fun and educational can make the face painting experience even more memorable.

Was super excited to try her out. Spent 3-4 months planning a shoot and talking back and forth…read more Unfortunately she canceled 3 days before our planned photoshoot.... I would've tried to understand if she had at least given a reason but it was just a vague response. The worst part is how hard it was for me to get that day off and book hair/ make up appointments, buy a dress, etc.... none of which I can return and lost deposits to. Very disappointing & unprofessional.

My son did pretty well sitting for about 15min before he lost interest. The whole caricature took about 30min for the three of us, and we were pretty happy with the results!

Sometimes I think she picks up on a lot of what I am thinking, and I am glad that she does, because we have the ability to make choices and change our future. She does not push "cleansings" and other services... And she is very gifted. She even was able to communicate for my grandmother.... Which was quite a shock. She helped me get out of the rough patch of my life, reevaluate my feelings and move forward. I am so happy in my life right now, and I cannot thank her enough for being such an amazing guide. She's the only one I will ever see again... And I look forward to any future tarot readings with her.
