Face painting
The heart of it. Bright, skin-safe designs, from a quick butterfly to a full superhero, and more!
What I do
All services start at $125 an hour, or $175 an hour for two or more at the same time.
Waterproof face painting
For pool parties, splash pads and water days. It stays put when everything else would run.
Balloon twisting
Twisted to order and handed straight over. Swords, animals, flowers, and more!
Glitter tattoos
Cosmetic-grade glitter over a skin-safe adhesive. Quick to apply, water-resistant, and they survive the party.
Hair tinsel
Strands of shimmer tied into the hair. Lasts for weeks, survives washing, and costs nothing to show off.
Henna art
Natural henna in traditional and modern designs, for grown-ups and older children. Lasts a week or two.
Bagpiper
Live bagpipes — weddings, memorials, Burns Night, or an entrance nobody present will forget.
$250 / hour, per piper
Covering Southeast Texas and parts of Louisiana

About Tierney
Hi there! I'm Tierney Harris, the proud owner of Texas Wonder Face Painting & More. For over 30 years, I've had the privilege of bringing smiles to children and families through colorful, creative face painting. What started as a passion has grown into a business I truly love, and there's nothing more rewarding than seeing the excitement on a child's face when they look in the mirror and see their imagination come to life.
In addition to professional face painting, Texas Wonder also offers creative balloon twisting, sparkling glitter tattoos, beautiful henna designs, and other services, making Texas Wonder a one-stop source for fun, memorable entertainment at birthday parties, school events, festivals, corporate gatherings, church functions, grand openings, and community celebrations.
As a fully insured professional entertainer, I take pride in providing not only high-quality artwork but also dependable, friendly, and professional service. My goal is to make every event stress-free for organizers while creating lasting memories for guests of all ages.
My team and I don't just paint faces, we help create magical moments. We truly love what we do, and look forward to bringing color, creativity, and wonder to your next event!
Questions
What paint do you use?
Professional, skin-safe, hypoallergenic face paint and cosmetic-grade glitter. It washes off with soap and warm water.
How many faces can you paint?
Roughly 10–15 an hour depending on the designs. Simpler designs mean more children get painted.
Where do you cover?
Southeast Texas and parts of Louisiana. Ask me about anywhere further out.
Will it survive a pool party?
Ask for waterproof face painting — it is made for splash pads, pools and water days. Glitter tattoos are water-resistant too.
How long does henna last?
Usually a week or two, depending on where it is and how often it gets washed.
How long does hair tinsel last?
Usually a few weeks. It is tied in, so it survives washing, brushing and swimming.
Can I book more than one?
Yes, and most people do — face painting with glitter tattoos is the popular pairing, and hair tinsel goes well alongside either.
What do you need on the day?
A shaded spot, a table and two chairs, and access to water if possible. I bring everything else.
