Super Hero parties are one of the most popular themes of the year for any age or gender. The reasons most companies don’t offer super hero performers are a little less than obvious:

Lauren started at Kaleidoscope so long ago, she actually found this job on Craig’s List! (Yes, THAT Craig’s List!) An avid cosplayer and costume designer, Lauren was looking for a job that combined her talent in visual arts with her love and experience working with children.

At events, Lauren is a face painter, balloon twister, hair artist, temporary tattoo artist, henna artist, clown, fairy, pirate, cartoon character, toddler-party-package-specialist, and probably a few other things we can’t remember. She covers all three of our states we service (CT, MA, and RI) but hails from Manchester, CT.

Before coming to Kaleidoscope, Lauren went to Champlain College for Elementary Education and before going to cosmetology school for hair and makeup. She’s a professional creative-thing-maker and a top-notch entertainer!

Setting up your face painter: water source, under shade, 1 table and 2 chairs, enough light to see, and far away from any loud music
