We used Cher for my son's 3rd birthday party yesterday. I was blown away by her talents, after mentioning what characters my son was into, she prepared some faces for Paw Patrol and PJ Masks just for his party which was completely unexpected, and a great touch! All the kids looked great and my son even managed to get a little Thomas train eventually with a little persuasion and myself getting a little painted too. (He was very tired in the photo). Thanks again Cher! Would surely recommend you and use you again! You were fabulous!

Couldn't be happier - exceptional service!
We are so glad that we decided to have Cher at our daughter's 4th Birthday party. All the guests said it was an excellent idea ! The level of service is outstanding and far exceeds the rates she is charging. Cher was at the venue and set up on time. Her station is a magic box of colours and glitter! She sits you in her comfortable stylist's chair and gives you a Hollywood treatment! She is great with children and managed to build a rapport with even the youngest and the shyest guests. She had done a party of 15 children and some adults in under 2 hours. We had a unicorn-themed event, at which the Birthday girl and her sister received a unicorn horn face ornament each - both hand-made by Cher! (Even if I took the place of my 2 year-old LOL)

Absolutely fantastic. Better still were her works of art, one kid was heard to say 'mum I never want to wash my face again'. Everyone I spoke to had only praise for Cher. Chillington Show 2019 on 14th September 11:30 - 16:00 want her back again with the full wagon.

Having Cher at our event proved invaluable and she occupied approximately 20-30 children with her face painting. She has brilliant artist skills and had a queue of children waiting. She worked constantly during two hours (without a break) and even stayed an extra half hour. I noticed that some of the children still have their painted faces on the next day as they were so proud of them. I would highly recommend her and intend to invite her again next year to our event.

Thank you for attending the Plymouth Volksfest. I must say that the service you provided was not only outstanding but truly value for money. The Volksfest team and the East End Development Trusts Sutton Play project have engaged with dozens of face painters over the last 12 years or so but none have come close to your level of skill and patience with children. You should be proud of yourself and we wholeheartedly recommend you to anyone wishing to engage a professional face painter.

Having used Funky Punky for face painting at our events and festivals...
Having used Funky Punky for face painting at our events and festivals for the past couple of years, they were the first point of call when friends suggested to me I should have my baby bump painted. After forwarding over some ideas for designs, Cher kindly came to my home and painted my bump freehand, discussing her ideas with me as she went along. Cher made me feel very comfortable, as I am not one to usually have much flesh on display! It was nice to put my feet up and be pampered and baby seemed to be enjoying it too! I can’t express how happy my husband and I were with the final product. Everything was just as I’d hoped and more. The intricate detail showed immense talent and I was so sad to have to wash the gorgeous teddy painting off that evening. Thank goodness we had taken lots of photos to share with friends and family. As our baby's name was also painted on the design, it was also the perfect opportunity to announce our choice for his first name on social media. Which received an amazing response! I would highly recommend this service to anyone. Such a lovely experience which I would certainly do again.

Your stall was an amazing addition to the event and the face painting went down a treat. The queue was never ending, my only disappointment was that I didn't get a chance to get painted myself. You have helped to raise a considerable amount for the Brain Research Trust and I cannot thank you enough.
We will be holding another event in 2013 and I hope that you will be able to attend. We all look forward to seeing you again soon.

On all levels having my baby bump painted was a beautiful experience, I hadn't considered it before Cher suggested she paint it but it is now one of my favorite moments of pregnancy so far. Much gratitude to you Cher - Thank you.
I loved it because it felt like a celebration of my pregnancy and a way to mark this time in my life with something unique.
Giving special attention to the changing shape of my body that is making room for a new life rather than shying away from it was such a healthy thing to do. Instead of becoming frustrated with this basketball belly that inhibits my usual movements and stressing that nothing fits anymore, by painting my bump Cher opened the door for me to give it the much healthier and special recognition it actually deserves for a change! I am now embracing my bump!
Chers stayed patient with me the whole time she was painting, despite my moving and laughing with inquisitive passers-by which could potentially jog her paintbrush and annoyingly having to run off to the toilet every 2 seconds. Chers imagination and impressively steady hand managed to capture the connection I feel with my baby at this stage of my pregnancy, creating an amazing visual representation of it that I could share and admire with people during that day. I had my bump painted in the street and everyone was admiring the artwork and wishing me well for the future. It was sooooo lovely. I'm certain India-Rei enjoyed the attention and feeling of the paintbrush tracing my belly. I have taken lots of photos so that she can experience it from the other side once she arrives.
As you can probably guess I will be shouting loud about baby bump painting to all my future pregger friends out there and recommending Cher for her awesome talent. I want to see more pregnant bellies being decorated and embraced, actually lets just paint everything, pregnant bellies, beer bellies, full body......MORE COLOUR ......
