About UsNJ Entertainers has been providing entertainment since September of 2003. We were founded by Larissa Symbouras, an award-winning face painter, who discovered by happenstance that her fine arts background, together with her penchant for parties, came together to create one heck of a face painter. Over the years, she added other services, and as she grew more involved in the entertainment community, her network of wonderful artists and entertainers expanded. With her business and clientele also growing, NJ Entertainers was born.
Now she works to ensure that all the clients and planners who contact her have their events staffed by the very best local entertainers in the industry.

About our Entertainers' and Artists' Supplies
Your health and safety and the health and safety of your child and guests is of paramount importance.
As a result, we are adamant about maintaining our health and our kits, making sure we and our supplies are clean and ready to go. We minimize the risk of spreading germs by using a new sponge for each person, and we will not and cannot paint anyone who appears sick, is coughing, sneezing, or has evidence of a runny nose. Our brushes go through a wash-rinse-sanitize-rinse process akin to those used in commercial kitchens between each person or reloading of makeup to minimize risk as well.
It's also for that reason that only FDA-compliant face makeup is used in our face painting, as well as cosmetic glitters and shimmers. Never will you see craft glitter or actual paint in an NJ Entertainers setup, not even acrylic and tempera paints labeled "non-toxic." Craft paints and glitters are not made for use on the skin and can cause allergic reactions or damage to the eyes. Want proof? Read this.
Even the temporary tattoos we use are made using only skin-safe cosmetic adhesive and cosmetic glitters, or FDA-compliant tattoo inks.
In a commitment to doing our part for the environment, where possible, several of us have shifted to the use of biodegradable cosmetic glitters, made in the United States and New Zealand. Biodegradable glitters are made from compostable/biodegradable cellulose from eucalyptus or corn plants, rather than plastic.
When it comes to henna, we am adamant about using only natural brown, harmless henna. You'll never find so-called "black henna" being used.

The information obtained has, of course, been shared with the other artists and entertainers who perform with NJ Entertainers, and the protocols are being followed by everyone with whom we work. |
