As a professional magician, it was a treat to work with Paint Savvy. These guys really know how to do things right. They only work with the best and it was a pleasure to one of theirs for a corporate gig. Well done, team!

Professional, kind, and fun! My sons were thrilled with their face paint, and the artist was a good sport about taking a silly photo with us. Highly recommended!

Paint Savvy is my go-to for all my events. I've had the pleasure of working with them for many events over the last five years and they always show up on time and are very professional.

If you are looking for a face painter, balloon artist, henna artist or any other unique entertainment for your events I highly recommend Paint Savvy.

Paint Savvy provided henna tattoos at our mama retreat a couple times. They were courteous and thoughtful to the group, not to mention very talented. Great work and great service!

We have used the services of Paint Savvy for our large Family Reunion for several years. The kids and adults all love the fantastic face painting and the use of the large bubble balloon they can crawl into and walk (or at least TRY to walk) on our lake. This group is always the hit of the activities we plan for our large family annual event.

I have worked the same events as Paint Savvy on a number of occasions and have found their face painters to be both talented and professional in their business conduct. I would strongly recommend them.

They did face painting and balloon art at our neighborhood block party. Face painter was great, but ballon artist was mean to the kids and a genuinely awful person. This company needs to hire some better folks.

I met Lisa at a yelp party at Babylon in Raleigh. She had a small table with a book and pictures of designs she has done. I picked out a design while I waited for my turn. She did a wonderful design on my hand! While did the desgin she talked to me about the henna and how she got started. She also did at least 10 other tats for my fellow yelpers. Some were on peoples hands, shoulder, and all of them looked great! Mine dried in about ten minutes and is holding strong but I'm only one day two!

I booked Paint Savvy for my Daughters 2nd birthday party and it was so much fun. Not only where they on time and professional. They were nice, and engaging too. SO much so, that the big kids (the adults) got glitter tattoos as well. I appreciate that with Paint Savvy I can switch things up for each party I throw. They are great because they take the headache out of party planning. I will be calling again.

Just joined Yelp and wanted to share my experiences with this terrific small business, Paint Savvy.
After seeing them at a few festivals around Raleigh and Cary I asked for a business card for possible future events.

I booked their face painting service for my daughters eighth birthday party. We held the party at a local roller rink.
I was thoroughly impressed from start to finish with my interactions with the folks at Paint Savvy. The Artist they sent to party was on time, set up quickly, professional, great with the kids, fast, and (most importantly) a true artist! The kids looked amazing

Some of you may have seen my previous review of Paint Savvy and their poor customer service. After Lisa saw my review she contacted me explaining that she wasn't aware of the seriousness of the situation and immediately offered to make amends. She did offer me the $90 back that she charged which I felt was appropriate (she charged $90, but I paid $100 as a tip to my wonderful artist!). She also was very open to receiving my constructive criticism on how this experience could have been more appropriately handled and was very concerned about my negative experience and making things right for
