How to Select a Child's Party Entertainer
(Face Painter)

Quality

When the parents show up to pick up their children, do you want them to hurry home so they can wash off their child's face, or do you want them to hurry home so they can take a picture? PrettyFun Face Painting often inspires comments like "I wish I had brought my camera!" as well as the more frequent "You're the best face painter I've ever seen!" (That's an exact quote from many people.)

Speed, or Quantity

Do you want to hire a face painter who can paint 5 cheeks in an hour, and you overhear guests saying "We've been waiting in this line forever!" or would you rather get 20 to 25 paintings in an hour? (Hint: divide into the cost per hour, to see what you really get for your money.) PrettyFun Face Painting often inspires comments like "Wow, you're fast!" (Again, that's an exact quote from many different people.)

Method

Do you want a face 'painter' who holds up a stencil and sprays some paint at a child's face for a few seconds, or rubs on a sticker (apparently with no shame at charging for it)? Or would you rather get real art, by a real artist, customized with infinite variety to meet the desires of the child, and created before your very eyes? PrettyFun will never use stencils or spray paint, let alone stickers. PrettyFun uses paint brushes, firstly because they tickle and make the children giggle, and secondly because they allow almost limitless possibilities.

Attention to the Child

Do you want to hire an 'entertainer' who doesn't seem to realize the difference between an inanimate piece of canvas and a child's face? You might see some awesome artwork advertised by other face painters you could consider, but consider this as well: how long did that child have to sit there, and how happy was he or she by the time it was finally over? And what about the kids waiting for their turn? PrettyFun believes that children should never be required to sit still while someone does something to them for someone else's amusement. PrettyFun Face Painting always knows that the children's happiness is the only purpose of the face painting.

Entertainment

Do you want someone who just sits there and paints while the kids stand in line, bored, waiting their turn? Or would you rather hire a face painter who considers the children waiting their turns to be an audience? PrettyFun Face Painting often inspires comments like "You're silly!" and "The children all loved you!" and "You were the hit of the party!" Even when there are no comments, the giggles from the children 'in line' make the PrettyFun difference obvious.

Experience

Do you want to hire a face painter who makes the most basic mistakes and depends on you to decide every little detail? Or would you rather rely on someone who knows what to do, and does it right, without taking up your time at the party? PrettyFun has been providing entertainment for children for twelve years (as of June, 2007). A lot can be learned in that much time, on how to do things better, and avoid mistakes. PrettyFun often inspires comments like "That's a great idea!"

The Total Package

Sure, some face painters show up in a costume and try to do a magic act, juggling, tell some jokes, lead the children in a dance, make a few simple balloon animals, and then try to paint something worth looking at, for all the children there. It just isn't possible, and the attempt will fail, taking your party down with it. PrettyFun specializes in doing one thing better than anyone else: face painting. If you want someone in a costume at your party, hire an experienced clown, or rent the costume and wear it yourself (come on, it'll be fun!), but please leave the face painting to PrettyFun!
