Princess What Parents Say
Real reviews from happy customers
“Mika was absolutely brilliant at my son's 4th birthday party! Communication beforehand was great, and the team arrived early to set up. Every child was thrilled with their designs. Would highly recommend!”
“Absolutely amazing! The face painter was so quick but the designs were beautiful — really clean, vibrant and unique. The kids were buzzing because she had styles none of them had seen at other parties. Such a lovely vibe, super friendly with the children, and honestly made the party feel that bit more magical. Would 100% recommend.”
“Mika was exceptional at my child's birthday party. She decorated the faces of 43 children at lightning speed — and all of them looked brilliant and were made to feel special. I would highly recommend Mika to anyone.”
“Booked Mika for our Halloween party — fast booking process, fantastic price, and she did an absolutely amazing job. All the parents and kids loved her work! I am delighted with the experience and will definitely book her again.”
“Used Mika Face Painting for a Corporate Christmas Kids Party — would 1000% use again. Amazing face painting skills and professional service from booking to the day itself.”
“Mika created a custom space theme for my son and even sent a preview beforehand. The detail was incredible — so many parents took business cards on the day!”

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a face painter cost in Manchester?
Our face painting packages start from £120 and vary depending on the number of guests, event duration and type of designs. Get in touch via WhatsApp or phone for a personalised quote — we're always happy to work within your budget.
How far in advance should I book a face painter?
We recommend booking 1–3 weeks ahead to secure your preferred date, especially during busy periods like summer and Halloween. That said, we can often accommodate last-minute bookings too — just drop us a message and we'll do our best!
What paints do you use? Are they safe for children?
We exclusively use professional-grade, hypoallergenic face paints that are fully EU compliant and designed specifically for use on skin. All our products are water-based, non-toxic and easy to remove with warm water and soap.
How many children can you paint per hour?
On average, we can paint 8–12 children per hour depending on the complexity of the designs. Simple cheek art is quicker, while full-face designs take a little longer. We'll help you plan the right amount of time for your event.
Do you travel to Stockport, Cheshire and Trafford?
Absolutely! We're based in Sale, M33 and regularly travel across Trafford, Stockport, South Manchester and into Cheshire — including Altrincham, Wilmslow, Bramhall, Knutsford and beyond. Contact us to confirm coverage for your area.
Can I book glitter bar and face painting together?
Yes! We offer combination packages that include both face painting and glitter bar hire. It's a popular choice for festivals, hen parties and children's events. Ask us about combo pricing when you get in touch.
