FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
For face painting I change $165 for two hours minimum and $55 every hour after per artist. For balloon twisting add $55 for every hour of face painting. Depending on how far I have to travel I will also charge for mileage. For princess Jasmine I change $200 for two hours minimum and $75 every hour after. Being Princess Jasmine entails more, I am completely in character from the moment I arrive, I read stories to children, play games with them, and do magic tricks, as well as face paint. Glitter tattoos are an additional add on of $75 to any type of party.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Yes, I attend classes throughout the year as well as large makeup shows that include face painting. In the makeup artist world face painting and body painting are included.
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
It was entirely by accident. My friend who was a clown pulled up beside me in her car and said she had an emergency and needed someone to do a birthday party for her that day and saw me driving. She knew I was crafty and thought it was the perfect opportunity to teach me her craft. I am no longer a clown, but I took face painting from it and fell in LOVE!
