We planned a princess-themed party for my daughter's 5th birthday, and I was searching for something that perfectly matched the theme. I reached out to Mel about a month before the event, and I’m so glad I did! She went above and beyond, offering to dress up in a princess costume. When I mentioned Rapunzel, she happily agreed and even tailored her face painting and balloon designs to match the theme. Mel shared examples of her incredible work, including glittery and gem-adorned face painting designs and stunning princess-themed balloons like Rapunzel and Elsa. On the day of the party, she showed up in a beautiful Rapunzel costume, making it a magical moment for my daughter, who was convinced Rapunzel had come straight from Disneyland! Mel brought all her supplies, including chairs, tables, and a design board with options for both face/arm painting and balloon twisting, making it easy for the kids to choose. Her talent and efficiency were truly impressive, and she managed to make every child feel special without any delays. Thank you, Mel, for bringing so much joy and creativity to the party! The kids loved your beautiful face painting designs and fun balloon creations, and the parents were equally amazed. Your energy, patience, and professionalism made the day unforgettable, and we’ve received so many compliments about your work. We are so grateful for your efforts and look forward to working with you again in the future!

Melissa was great to work with. All the kids and the adults loved the face painting and balloon twists. Hopefully we can work with her again on our next party. Thank you, Melissa!

Melissa dressed up as Elsa for my 5 year old’s birthday party. She was super awesome! Did exactly everything as promised (face painting, balloons and some bubbles) and right in time! She managed to entertain around 20 kids while the parents could sit and enjoy their lunch (win win for both ;)) Mel even went out of the way and danced with my daughter which was not planned but she could squeeze it in on my request! If you’re looking for a party artist to keep kids super entertained the entire time Mel is the best person! My daughter said the best part of her birthday was Elsa! Thank you Mel! Will surely recommend her!
