FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My base rate is $100 an hour for both face painting and henna. However, an exact price depends on distance traveled, the number of people to be painted, the level of detail of the designs, and if special supplies or an assistant are needed. I may also offer a discount for repeat customers, for events close by, or for a package or bundle.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am constantly practicing and trying to improve. I took a classes from Anna Lewinsky (owner of Jest Paint) on designs for boys and improving brush skills. I took a 2 day "Face Painting Boot camp" course where we focused on line work, how to add extra value to designs, use of color, brush skills, and more. I also recently took classes specializing in sugar skulls and tribal designs. Also working with a mentor to improve my henna skills.
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
Ever since I was a teenager, I always loved doodling on my notebooks, my shoes, and even myself. I always wanted to learn to paint, and when I finally did, it was like "where have you been all my life?!" I was in love. I love kids, I love art, and I love painting and henna!
