WHY SHOULD I HIRE YOU?
That's a great question! Let me tell you a bit about me & my company.
My Company: Fantasy Faces takes face painting to another level. I guarantee you haven't seen face painting like this before! I strive to give a stellar experience with art & customer service. Your guests will be amazed at what I create on them. Many times children love to just sit and watch as I transform their friends into fairies, monsters, super heroes and princesses! Face painting is entertainment in itself! My goal is to change the persona of face painting. My company doesn't "face paint", we create masterpieces and take great pride in making you and your guests say wow! When you book with Fantasy Faces you are given 2 hours of face painting in addition I will create one page of designs to compliment your party theme! Just tell me the theme and I'll bring the ideas! I will also bring my most popular girl and boy designs. Kids are encouraged to use their imagination and tell me what they'd like. Since I'm an artists I can paint just about anything!
My Background working with children: In addition to making amazing art I've also worked with children and the special needs population for several years. I attained my BA in Psychology at Sonoma State university and currently work as an ABA therapist (Applied behavior analysis) during the week . I am CPR certified, background checked, TB tested, have some ASL (Sign Language) knowledge & have conducted ABA training with military families.
My Art Background: I've been painting for 15 years and face painting for almost 2 years. I've dabbled in watercolor, acrylic, oils, and pastels. I love art in all its forms and mediums. For a brief period I helped conduct art therapy sessions with children struggling through divorce. I also implemented an art class at PSI for mentally and physically disabled adults. On the side I have always painted and shared my work on Facebook which lead to selling paintings. I've had my work in a gallery, I've taught art classes to kids and I'm the acrylic art instructor at Michaels; trained by Grumbacher art company.
When I come to your party you are my number one priority; I don't book more then 2
events in one day, so I have no need to rush you or your guests. I like to spend
time and make sure everyone is enjoying themselves and having a wonderful time.
Great Customer service is my motto!

COMPARE ME
There are other face painting and party companies in the bay area; I encourage you to compare my prices, qualifications and art to theirs. I'm confident my skills surpass my competitors. When you hire a "party company" you don't know who you’re getting. They might show you some good work, but may send someone who can't replicate it.
What to ask when comparing face painters
1) Ask what kind of paint they use. DFX, TAG, WOLFE, PARADISE, MEHRON & FAB are good products that are FDA approved, very high quality and safe.
2) Ask if they're insured
3) Ask to see pictures of their face painting work.
4) can they promise to send the artist whose art you've seen?
5) Do they provide background checks?
6) Do they travel? If so what is their travel fee?
7) Do they have references? Fantasy faces provides references upon request.
NOTE::
I use top of the line products and have full coverage liability insurance. In addition I have clearance to work in schools which means I've passed several background checks and TB testing. When you hire me you know who you’re getting. My work speaks for itself and I love what I do! I hope to book a party with you soon and make it something magical to remember.

PRODUCTS
I use Diamond FX, Tag, Fab & Wolfe brothers paint. I choose only the best water based professional face and body paint products. All ingredients comply with the FDA regulations and are safe and gentle to be used on skin. These products are easily washed off with warm water and soap or a Baby wipe. Tattoos can be removed with rubbing alcohol.
