Reviews
On Google, U B Painted has 100% 5-star reviews. Here are just a few of them:
Wow! Kim’s work is just beautiful! She painted the faces of 12 five and
six year-olds at my daughter’s birthday party, and she did such fantastic
work! I’m so glad we hired her. The girls just loved their face paint.
Kim was punctual, very friendly and sweet with the girls. I highly recommend U B Painted!
– Becky Bell
Kim is amazing! I experienced her amazing talent at an event in the
Spring and was floored by what she was able to do as well as how theatrical
it all looked - the painting was "CATS" level. On the fly I decided to
host a party for my daughter and immediately reached out to Kim.
I had no theme in mind, my only thought was that if she came she would
make the party! She delivered! She was sweet and ideated on the phone
with me to come up with a cohesive theme which was so helpful! She even
offered to come early to make sure the birthday girl had the face she
desired with all the glitter and jewels a young fairy could ever ask for!
The party was a total success with all the kids having the exact artwork they requested!
– Jennifer Fowler
We hired Kim to do face painting at my daughter’s 8th birthday party.
Kim was early, pleasant to work with and well organized. The most impressive
thing was her artistic ability. Obviously, I would expect a professional
face painter to have artistic ability but Kim exceeded my expectations.
Her large and detailed face paintings were done so quickly, were absolutely
beautiful and each one so unique. I don’t know how she managed to paint
so many children so quickly but she did it with ease. No doubt Kim’s face
painting made my daughter’s party. I would hire her again in a heartbeat!
– Amaya Bilbao Cromwell
Kim is amazing. Her face/body art is incredible. She was also amazing
with the kids. I'll never try a different face painter after this.
She also found an incredible balloon artist for our party as well.
He made the most amazing creations! Our daughters were so happy!
– Krista Wolf
For two years in a row U B Painted was a HIT at our company picnic.
The staff is great - courteous, professional, talented and FUN. Children
and adults enjoyed getting their faces painted and glitter tattoos.
U B Painted would be a great addition to any party, I highly recommend them!
– Elizabeth H.
Hired U B Painted for a company picnic and they were terrific, a
huge hit not only with the kids but adults as well. Full grown
bearded men walking around with a tiger face. It was great fun for
evervone. I received an abundance of complements on the artist,
not only for their talent but also the friendless and ability to make
people smile. Shy kids were jumping up in the chair to get their
faces painted. We had over 150 people at our event and there was
constantly a warm body in the chair and the artist managed to whip
out amazing work in a very short time. No one was having to wait or
get tired of being in line. I will certainly be reaching out to Kim for
our next year's event.
- Jaclyn M.
We hired Kim for a joint birthday party with about 25 kids attending.
She was professional from first contact to the last little girl who cried
and needed a touch up on her butterfly paint. I can not recommend Kim highly enough!
We got through every kid in the timeframe, she was kind and sweet and has a
great rapport working with the kids to come up with unique designs.
Half the girls asked for butterfly designs and not one face looked the same
- the color combinations and amazing touches were really cool. We had a boy
who didn't want a face paint, and she did an amazing snake "tattoo" on his leg.
Some of the kids were so comfortable while being painted they fell asleep in
the chair. It was just a great experience.
– Reggie J.
Kim is an amazing and talented artist! She attended our Dia De Los Muertos
event and our customers raved about the face painting work she did. She used
high quality ingredients and folks are requesting that we invite her again
next year. Thanks for being such a great partner to work with!
