FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I have a 90 minute minimum, and my starting rate is $125 for the first hour, $50 for each additional half hour . If the event is more than 20 miles from 06443, a travel stipend is added (varies depending upon distance). Balloon twisting may be added for an additional $20. I accept Square, PayPal, Venmo, Zelle, Check and Cash.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
It's pretty simple. We agree on a date, time and amount, and I email an invoice for a $50 deposit through Square (which can be paid with debit or credit). That deposit reserves and guarantees the date, and is fully refundable if at least 7 days' notice is given for party cancellation (or up to thr day of the party if I must cancel due to illness or unforeseen circumstances). On the day of the event, I show up about 10-15 minutes early and set up. I bring everything I need, including table and chairs (please let me know if you will be providing those items- less lugging!). Upon completion of the service, the remaining balance is due (cash, check or credit through Square).
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have been a Theatre Artist for over 20 years, and am a freelance acting teacher and director through my company, Handful Productions. I have worked with every age group and am very comfortable relating to children and parents. Also, I attribute my abilities with face painting to my experience with stage makeup and scenic artistry.
