How many faces can you paint per hour?
Typically for full faces you can expect 10-12 faces to be painted. For large public events we can paint average 24 quick but impressive faces per hour using a limited design sheet the artist is comfortable painting quickly. We can also adjust our face painting designs to meet your needs!
What locations do you serve?
We serve most of Maryland, northern Virginia and DC. We have artists in many places so if you are more than 1.5 hours outside of Baltimore City we are sure to have an artist for you in your area!
What are your rates?
We charge the same rate for all of our services. Our rates start at $175 for one hour and $150 per hour after that. For the most accurate rate based on how many guests will be served, it is best to get in touch with us!
What do I need to provide for your artist?
A 4' table and two chairs in a shaded location (if outside). Some artists provide their own chairs/tables. This need can be discussed at booking. Our artists cannot work in direct sunlight for their health and our paints do not do well in sunlight.
What kind of paint do you use? Is it safe?
Yes, our face paints are cosmetic-grade, FDA-compliant makeup made specifically for face and body. How many boys would want to be a super hero if they knew they would be wearing makeup? Shhhh...don't let the secret out! Brands we use are: GTX, Paradise, Diamond FX, Wolfe, FAB, TAG and Kryoline.
How far in advance should I book?
As soon as you know the date of your event, please contact us! There are several weekends throughout the year that just seem to explode with parties, so the earlier the better!
Does the painting HAVE to be on the face? What if my child has sensitive skin?
No, it does not! We will gladly paint an arm or a leg--and what's great about painting an arm or leg is the child gets to watch! If your child has sensitive skin and tends to react to everyday products, please let us know and we can perform a patch test.
I am interested in your services. What do I do now?
Please call or email/text us with the specifics for your event and we will provide you with a quote and next steps.
I have to postpone/cancel. What now?
Deposits are non-refundable but if you have to postpone your event, we will do our best to work with you! Your deposit can be used toward the new date and we will do our best to accommodate you, which could result in another (but wonderful!) artist servicing your event!
If you must cancel your event, refund depends on how far in advance you are canceling. If three weeks in advance, it is 100% refundable as this gives our artists time to fill that time slot. Up to two weeks in advance requires a 50% fee. If a week or less in advance, payment is non-refundable or must be paid in full. We understand that things happen, but our artists have committed their time for your event which means saying no to other events. Last minute cancellations mean we have lost other work opportunities. This is our livelihood, our careers, so please understand.
