- FAQ
How do I book you?
You first have to request a quote. Once the form is sent, I’ll respond asap to let you know my availability. If I am available for your event, I’ll send you an invoice and a performance contract.
Do I need to pay a deposit?
Yes. To secure the booking, I require a 50% down-payment and a signed performance contract.
How many faces can you paint in an hour?
I can paint roughly between 10-24 people/hr. For parties with many faces and little time, I use small, simple speed designs. Fewer faces and more time allows for more elaborate face paints. This figure is only accurate when there are steady, orderly lines. If people are scattered, then waiting time is increased and head counts are decreased.
What kind of face paints do you use?
I use high quality, cosmetic grade face paints from brands such as Paradise, Wolfe, and Global.
How do I remove the face paint?
Mild face wash and water is all you need to remove the paint. I suggest wiping off most of the paint with a wet rag first before wetting the face. Few paints may stain fairer complexions. Stains can be gently removed by mixing a mild soap with an oil (coconut or olive) on a wet cotton round.
How long does the face paint last?
With proper care (minimal touching and staying dry), the face paint can last all day. I’ve personally wore the paint for over 12 hours without having to touch up.
What is a custom theme design sheet?
If you have a themed party, I could create relevant designs to use for your party for no extra cost. These designs will be used in place of my main design menu.
Can I hire you for more than one service at the same event?
Yes, you can. This is a great option for small parties. You can hire me to perform an hour each of two or more services. Prices are an additional $25 per service.
What do I need to provide for you at my event?
I require a table, 2 chairs, and a well lit space. If a well lit space is not possible, then I’ll need access to electricity.
Do you require breaks?
For events that are 4 hrs or more, I require a 15-20 min break.
Can you stay longer than the contracted time?
If I do not have another event or plans after your event, then yes. I charge overtime in increments of $70/30 min. Please keep in mind that overtime availability is not guaranteed.
