If the client require more of my time ( for paperwork , help with deposit or if the client is difficult or challenge me in any aspect outside of the normal process I charge a party planning fee that starts at $50 and can go up to $1,000 depending of the services you are booking ) so if the client is ready to book in the first phone call .I'm happy to charge just $150 for TWO hours of face painting and I also give FREE balloon animal . So my price start at $150 for 2 hours and can go up to $200 for two hours depending of my client needs.

- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
The client call or text me ( TEXT is always better to make sure the client have everything we discuss in written ) and then 10 minutes later as we agree, the client sent me the deposit along with all the information such as address of the party, day of the party, time they want me to start, 2 phone number for contact, directions and number of children. Clients are responsible for parking and artists are NOT educators, a party is not a place where a face paint artist can stop the work to concentrate into educate one child or in some case educate everyone in the party. I LOVE my job, good people and their children !
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have a BA in Fine Arts and I also have being a face paint artist and balloon artists for over 10 years.
