FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My pricing is uncomplicated. $80- $120 per our with a 2 hour minimum. The price charged depends on the size, location and venue of event. Sometimes extra fees for travelling out of the area are charged. I am open to negotiating rates when an event is for more than 3 hours. If individuals come to me to be painted for a special occasion, the price is $50. per hour.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
We talk first on the phone to decide if client would like to make a booking date. Then e-mail process can follow. I send an Invoice/Agreement form detailing all the information that the client and I have talked about. If one of my Associate painters is going to do the event, the form is sent to client and face painter. When all the information on form is thought to be complete, we all have a printable copy available with clarity. A 1/2 deposit is requested to assure the date on both ends. The deposit is NOT cashed until after the services are rendered. If the party is cancelled 10 or more days before the event, the deposit is refunded. Otherwise we use it to offset any work that may have been turned down for the date booked. Emergency situations requiring cancellation can be negotiated case by case.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am practicing all the time when I work. I enjoy looking at the work of other Face Painters and sometimes will purchase a design from another painter at a Festival so I can enjoy knowing what the experience of a customer is.
