FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I charge depending on location and how many hours a client would want me at the event. I come from El Granada located within Half Moon Bay, CA, traveling, gas, quality paints, materials, and time is apart of the package.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
My process for working with a new customer is asking what city their event will take place in so that I can give them an appropriate rate because I do charge a little bit more if I have to travel farther. I’m not too worried about asking them about the theme unless they want me to dress for the occasion! I can paint anything they ask so in case I’ve never heard of the character. I just look it up on my phone and I can gain inspiration for a custom design! I also do require a deposit (booking fee) beforehand! I do believe my time is valuable as well as everyone else else’s and in case any cancellations happen, it can be difficult to find replacement events last minute. I’m always willing to answer any follow up questions that the customer has for me whether it be about the kind of paint that I use or how my process works.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am mostly self-taught. I find inspiration from other fellow face painters, and with social media being accessible to everyone now I think you can pick up some neat tricks with it! Otherwise growing up, I was mostly self-taught and I had two younger sisters to practice on as well as myself!
