About
Kristine doesn't stick to the script; she can customize every design to each customers' liking, as well as be creative in the moment to design and paint exactly what they're looking for. Typically after getting a face paint at events, guests return to get an arm painting too, because they love her work so much.
I love working with both children and adults, but especially the littlest ones getting painted and seeing themselves in the mirror with their face painted and smiling with such joy! That's the most rewarding part of it. Watching girls leave with a henna, admiring it in the air or in a mirror. But I also love to be creative, always practicing my art.

Kristine was wonderful! She was very responsive during the planning of the event, confirming all details both in advance and again the day before the event. On the actual event day, she showed up exactly at the time she said she would, and was set up and ready to go right when the event began. She worked non-stop during the duration of the event, and she was able to work on every single person who wanted their facepainted. All the kids at the event (and even some of the adults) were so pleased with her facepainting choices and how the painting turned out. She was friendly with everyone and fast enough to get everyone done. I would absolutely use her services again!

Kristine was wonderful and did such a great job paintingfaces at my daughters birthday party. She was particularly wonderful with a few kiddos who have cognitive and/or sensory issues. Can’t recommend her enough!

We hired through Kristine as we needed a second face painter for the event. She responded promptly and though it was a last minute request, she was able to arrange a face painter for our event. Worked out great, thank you!!

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Yes. My standard rate is $100-$125 per hour for any of my services, face paint, henna and temporary tattoos. I will ask for a 50% deposit in advance of the event to secure the date and time on my calendar.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I will inquire for more details regarding their event such as venue, expected # of adults and children, occasion, theme, date and time. I will also determine if they have any additional product or service requests or future dates. From here I can pencil it onto my calendar and prepare a preliminary event agreement for my client. I will ask for a deposit in advance and remainder of event fees to be paid at the event.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
15+ years experience working in the amusement park industry, plus 3 years in restaurants, banquets and special events. I've been face painting for 10+ years and henna tattooing for 5 years now. My work in amusement parks has taught me so much about customer service, consistency of work and speed in my execution to ensure I create memories for many customers and everyone is pleased with their experience.
