Ashley did facepainting and balloon animals at my son's birthday party in Marina and she was fantastic. All the children loved her. The face painting is very sparkly and beautiful and she does it so fast. She also did an array of balloon animals with children's request. She has a booklet full of ideas too. Everyone was happy. I would definitely hire her again in the future for more parties. Before the party we kept in contact via email and she was very responsive to my questions/requests. Thank you so much!

We have been using Spektical Entertainment for many of our company events and we absolutely love Ashley! She does extremely well with all of the children's requests, and the works of art are amazing. The adults really appreciate the work of art she creates as well. Spektical Entertainment is on-time, responsive, and finds ways to make the company's experience easy. Thank you so much for coming to visit. Until the next event!

Ash was great! We had an event in Contra Costa County that was for the kids and their families. Ash came on time, in bright spirits an was the most popular person at the party! Her face painting was fantastic and enjoyed by all the kids - the line to have face painting was always full and she was great with the kids and their parents. We'll have her at our next event for sure :)

We had a wonderful experience with Ashley and Spektical Entertainment! Communication with Ashley was a breeze! On the day of my daughter's party, Ashley arrived a bit early to get set up. Once set up, Ashley dove right in painting faces and making amazing balloon creations! Everyone was happy with Ashley's creations. She was so great with the little kids, keeping them at ease while trying something new! She even did some special paintings on a few adults! All in all, Ashely was fantastic! We will definitely have her back again.

We used Spektical Entertainment at my son's 1st birthday. Ashley was super prompt at returning inquiries and answered all of my questions thoroughly. All communication and booking were done through email - easy peasy! Lisa Flora was assigned to us and we couldn't be happier. Everyone was raving about how fast, awesome, and fun all of her face painting and balloon creations were! I would definitely recommend them!!

Ashley is amazing! We have used her for two parties so far and have been so so so happy with her.
First, we had her do balloon animals for my daughter's 2nd birthday (June 2018). She was wonderful! She came in an adorable outfit that was whimsical and fun and made the kids excited to go work with her. When she arrived, she set up and started making balloons before anyone even approached her with a request. She put a unicorn hat on my head and that generated a lot of interest from the kids and other adults at the party. She was super busy the whole time making spiderman, an alligator hat,

I found Ash through Thumbtack when planning my daughter's 1st birthday party in SF. She was prompt in following up through the app and was really easy to work with. She arrived early and started working immediately at our party. I didn't know what to expect since this was my first kid's party, but was thoroughly impressed by Ash's balloon twisting and face painting skills! I particularly liked the unicorn, dragon and fish on a rod! The kids and adults had a blast! I wish I took more pictures of her work, but had my hands full with the little one. Would definitely hire Ash again

My daughter's first birthday was a huge hit and one of the highlights from it was being able to provide facepainting and balloon twisting for the guests' children. I booked their service through Thumbtack, and Ash replied back quickly to my inquiry. She was detailed about her services and the pricing. She requires a deposit to secure her services for the date of the event and accepts cash or check for the remaining balance on the day of.
Once I decided to make the deposit, I was greeted with an email asking me to fill out a form. This form is to help her understand what kind of event

I hired Ashley from spektical entertainment for my sons 1st birthday! She is Great we are so glad we found her. The kids loved her and there faces and the parents were amazed in her talent. I hired her for 2 hours I was unsure of how many kids were coming to the party so we planned before for the first hour do face painting the the second hour do balloons but if there were more kids then expected then just continue with the face painting and of course we had about 30 kids come and go through out the party and she ended up just doing face painting like we discussed without me even having to check
