Honey was the hit of my daughter's 8th birthday party for sure! The kids were lined up for face and body art the entire time, and another mom even asked for her contact information because she was so awesome. From her cheerful, happy demeanor to her talent... I need to have another party just to hire her again :) Thank you Honey!!!!

Honey is AMAZING. Her work is incredible, creative, and quick! I hired her for my daughter's 4th birthday party to do face painting and fairy hair. All 10 girls were able to get both services while also enjoying the party/playing. Several moms asked for her info and text me after the party to rave about her work.
