FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Price for FACE PAINTING is $125 per hour with a minimum of two hours. I understand how difficult it is for the more remote cities to get good quality entertainment, so I am happy to travel outside of the St. Louis metro area; please ask for a quote. Price for PAINT & SIP PARTIES starts at $300 for up to 10 people, then an extra $100 for each additional 10 guests. I also offer referral bonuses and repeat customer discounts.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
We require a booking fee up front to hold your date. The booking fee is 50% of the total price. After you give me the information for your event, I will write up a contract and send it. The booking fee is due within one week of the agreement; if it has not been paid within one week, I will no longer be able to hold your date, and won't be able to guarantee the booking.
- What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
Consider whether you want a layperson who may be able to paint but might not do a quality job or use cosmetic-grade paints (believe it or not, many amateurs actually use the much less-expensive acrylic paint, which is toxic on skin!) and who might be limited to just a few designs, or if you prefer a professional who already has experience, who has a large portfolio to choose from, who knows how to get kids to stay still, and who can do the job quickly and effectively with the highest-quality materials. It is tempting to pay less for someone who hasn't put much effort or expense into their business, but your results will not be the same.
