About
Hello! I’m Alecia! Nice to meet you:) I am a professional face painter, mom and also a professional event planner.
Want to add a little pizzazz to your next party - then you need the face painting and airbrush and glitter tattoo services of Painting Faces by Alecia!
I am easy to work with, extremely personable, and fun, and would love to work with themes and create special face painting and arm designs for your next event. I constantly strive to learn new techniques to enhance my face painting skills. I am a mom, so I am great with kids (and adults too).
I have face painted on Royal Caribbean, Verizon, Walmart, Old Navy, and Snapple, as well as many private and corporate events.
I also utilize my face painting to help charities and non-profits enhance their events, such as the Lupus Foundation, American Cancer Society, Alzheimer's Association Connecticut Chapter, Huntington Disease Foundation, Vicki Soto 5K run, and many school functions. I love being able to give back and donate my time to help others.:)
So, what are you waiting for? Let's plan a party!

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My pricing is simple. I charge a base price for up to 2 hours and my pricing goes from there. I charge additional for mileage outside of the Milford, CT area.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
When I have a new customer, I try to set up time to talk to them and answer any questions they may have about me or my work. I provide references and samples of my work and recommendations of other vendors (catering, balloons) that they have expressed interest in.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have always been artistic, from theatre, singing and drawing. I adapted my drawing to face painting in 2012 and I am still loving painting at various events ever since. I am constantly buying books and watching videos to learn cool new designs.
