Frequently Asked Facts
How long should I book?
I estimate I can cover up to 12-15 kids in one hour depending the extent of the design. Please book according to your anticipated number of guests. If you are unsure, I am always willing to help."
Why hire a professional?
It is an important investment if you want quality and professional artists at your party. I also use FDA-compliant cosmetic, hypoallergenic paints and glitter that are known to be the safest on skin. Beware of cheap face painters! Remember, you get what you pay for. They equal cheap paint and poor quality workmanship in the design.
What kind of paint do you use?/What is your setup?
I primarily use Superstar, Wolfe, Kraze and occasional TAG. All paints and glitters used are professional, FDA compliant, cosmetic grade, have anti-bacterial properties added to them and are hypoallergenic. Our face painting paints and face glitter are made for skin only.
How far will you travel?
I will travel to any where in the South Bay area. And service anywhere from the LA to the OC area . Travel fees or booking minimums will apply depending on where you're event is located. If the easiest route to your event includes toll roads, those tolls will be added to your total separate from applicable travel fees.
How do I hire you?
When you contact, I will ask details about your party such as how many guests are expected in order to help you book the ideal amount of hours needed, theme and so on. When you are ready to book, I will send an emailed invoice specifying the details of the event and the amount of time needed which can be paid through Paypal. A follow up email gets sent confirming booking once deposit is received.
Do you require a deposit?
Yes. After you fill out your booking form, we will email you an invoice using PayPal. We love PayPal because it is the most secure way to handle money online. You can use your credit card without needing to make an account, or if you have an existing PayPal account, directly transfer from it. Unfortunately, deposits are non-refundable except in the event should the artist cancel the deposit will be promptly refunded.
How do I pay?
Payment in full is required either at the beginning or end of our time at your event. We accept cash and checks. Payment in full amount agreed upon is ALSO required in the event that you cut our time short at your event (for example, if you book us for 3 hours and decide we are done after 1 hour, we will still require 3 hours’ payment).
Should I tip?
We know it’s an awkward question to ask! Since there is no specific etiquette for event services like ours, we are never offended if we don’t get a tip. It’s a way to let us know we did well at your party, and if you wish, go ahead! We appreciate it every time.
Is face painting appropriate for all ages?
Yes! As you can see in my gallery, the designs range from simple and child-themed to intricate and artistic. That’s why face painting is a great idea for any kind of party, whether there are children present or not. We do however strongly encourage that children under 3 years old get painted on their arm/leg rather than their face, as they tend to strenuously resist it if they can’t see what is being painted or easier to have reactions if paint gets in the eye. We reserve the right to not paint on any child that resists out of fear and will stop immediately if the child cries. Face painting should be fun for everyone not terrifying! We also reserve the right to refuse paint to those with sneezing/runny noses due to cold and flu for safety reasons, open cuts, wounds, cold-sores or break-outs. I do not risk cross infection with other faces!!
Would you consider donating your services to a charitable event?
I will consider requests such as these, provided we are permitted to have a tip jar out, and depending on what our schedule is looking like at the time. Feel free to inquire about these and we can try to work with you.
We are a large corporation with a multiple-day event and require an invoice from you, Will you accommodate us?
Absolutely! If you know you will be needing extra documentation to complete your transaction with us, please send ALL forms at least a week beforehand (via email or snail mail) so we may process everything accordingly before your event. Our contract states that we must be paid at the time service is given; this applies to ALL events, big and small, corporate and private. If you are hiring us for multiple days, we ask that you pay us for the entire event up front before we start working. It can be challenging to get a hold of our contact person at the end of each day, and it gives everyone peace of mind to have it out of the way. This way we can arrive and leave on schedule and per our agreement without needing to cause a stir.
