Vera and Nik are extremely talented artists!!! We used them for our family reunion on Sunday and all ages got face painted!!! Vera did a beautiful job painting. Very impressive work and also such professional demeanor. The best money spent!! Kids were thoroughly entertained and yet it was done so quietly and orderly. A must hire if you're trying to keep kids entertained and adults as well. Thank you Vera and Nik!!!!

We hired Vera and Nick for face painting and Balloon twisting for our daughter's 3rd B'day party. There were about 30 kids and we booked them for 1 and 1/2 hrs. They did a great job, all the kids loved it and the parents were free to socialize while the kids gathered around the artists. Time was enough. I highly recommend them.

Thank you so much for working this past Saturday at my daughters party. Aryn has so much fun she kept talking about you two and didn't want to wash off her face paint. She still has her balloons as a matter of fact. Thanks for making me a hat and ensuring that I didn't miss out on the festivities.
It was such a pleasure having you both you did an awesome job and were so professional! The kids and adults alike had a ton of fun I would highly recommend you guys and I look forward to using you in the future as well.

Vera and Nik were just in our  house today and they did an outstanding job! I will hire them again in a heartbeat. They are extremely professional, very nice and punctual and have a huge talent! Vera painted all children’s faces immaculately and she did a great job matching the kids outfits with the paint color she was choosing. Nik was so creative, he made an enormous amount of beautiful "creatures" something for every child to take home. Don’t need party favors if you have one of these balloon twists. The face painting and the balloon twisting was the hit of the party! Everyone, parents and children had a blast.
Vera and Nik made our 2 sons' birthday party a memorable event!!!

I had multiple parents come up to me and tell me what a  great job they did with the kids and that they were thinking of using them at  their next party!

We hired Vera and Raisa to come paint faces  in the VIP Club for a KISS concert. Everyone was beyond thrilled with the option  to have their faces painted like the band - adults and children both took  advantage.

Vera and Nik are amazing! Our daughter's fifth birthday party was a huge success thanks to them! They came on time, worked fast and were great interacting with the kids. Vera's face painting is real art, she can not only make every client's wishes come to life, but she can also find the perfect design to match each kid's (and even some adults' :)) outfit, mood and personality. Nik's balloon creations are fun, original and a lot more interesting than what you will usually see. Our guests LOVED them! We are so grateful to have had a chance to meet those wonderful artists and really nice people!

Vera and Nik were just fabulous at out daughter's first birthday party. Not only did our children enjoy having them, our adults loved them too. All the adults moms got some kind of face painting or a tatoo done. Vera and Nik were very patient handling so many people. Also, they are very artistic and do a beautiful job. Thank you for helping us make this party memorable. I highly recommend them and will surely use for future events.

I can't thank you enough for providing such a fun service for the kids at this year's Ice Cream Social. With you being so inexpensive, I first thought that we might not be getting good, quality service & was a bit nervous. However, I was MORE than pleased to find that you were promptly on time, professional, nice to the kids, made better than usual balloon sculptures AND made sure that everyone left with a balloon - even when time was up. I would definitely refer you to anyone and everyone in need of a balloon artist. I'll be calling you next year. Thanks Vera & Nik! :)

The Baptism party for my two sons was a success, however, Vera and Nik contributed to this success greatly. Their face painting and balloon twisting were the best part of the celebration and the kids (and some adults, including myself) could not get enough of. Vera is an artist and the painting she created were spectacular. Nik made kids' fantasies possible with the balloons he twisted. They worked excellent as a team and most of my girlfriends took their cards for their future parties. I rarely leave feedback but this duo made an amazing impression on all of my friends and family. I am very happy to have found them and will recommend their services with pleasure.

Vera showed up to my 11 year old daughter's Alice In Wonderland Tea party/birthday party on time for the insanity to begin. I was so busy trying to get everything in order that I basically threw her to the wolves (12 eleven year old girls!), and she was wonderful with them! My nine year old son was feeling left out, and Vera did his make up first and really made his day...that was very sweet. Vera's work went above and beyond my expectations. She was so kind and professional, and just a lovely person in general. I will recommend Vera to anyone I know looking for a face painting artist. Thank you so much Vera.

Vera and Nik were wonderful, I'm so glad I got them for my son's first bday party! They were on time, and were great with the kids. Vera's face art were beautiful and the kids loved Nik's balloons. I especially appreciated that Vera went around and approached the kids themselves when they seemed too shy to come up to her. I will definitely mention them to my friends and keep them in mind for future parties as well =) Thanks again Vera and Nik!

For our company picnic we decided to try a face painter instead of the usual cheap toy giveaways. What a great addition!! The face paintings we're fantastic and the artist was very caring and patient with the children. The kids absolutely LOVED it and the photographs & memories will long out-last a bunch of party store junk.

Vera and Nikolay are highly talented professionals and both are very passionate about their job! We met them at the kid's Birthday party and my daughter was ecstatic about the face painting Vera had given her, I also loved the way Vera and Nik interacted with kids. We hired them for our daughter's 3rd Birthday Party, and they were the highlights of our event! They are very reliable people ( Vera called a couple of days prior to the event to confirm all the details), and their services are really reasonably priced. Vera and Nik are both easy going down to earth people. They are so talented and creative, both are trying their best to accommodate every client's desire and use their skills to make your wish come true!
At our party they were attentive to everyone from toddlers to adults. Nikolai was transforming balloons into unbelievable fun animal shapes, headpieces, sculptures, etc.; and Vera not only painted all kids faces according to their wish, but also created fun small design on every adult?s face! They both work quickly and efficiently and are not rushing leaving the event until their job is complete! We were so happy to have Vera and Nicolay working at our party and we would definitely use their services in a future.
