Cancellation Fee: If the event is cancelled within 24 hours of start-time, payment is due in full. Prior to that, there will be a cancellation fee of 50% for each date postponed or cancelled (paid via non-refundable booking fee). Client agrees to pay full amount, even if client actually uses artist(s) for less time than booked.
Pace of Work: Artists usually paint at the rate of approximately 10 - 25 children per hour, depending on the request. This is considered “fast” or “quick.” For our quick designs especially, the number of children that we can get through depends a great deal on how quickly the children can decide on what they want and how still they are able to sit when being painted. If you need to get through a large number of children in a small amount of time, we often recommend that you have an adult or teenager be in charge of line management. If you have booked 1 hour of face painting, and you end up with more than the children discussed at your party, or children are coming back for seconds and thirds, expect that your artist will discuss the option of booking extra time with you.
Overtime: Any time beyond the time agreed will cost $1 per minute per artist, but only if they have availability.
Setup and Arrival: We will set-up once at no charge. Any additional set-up, moving locations, etc, must be compensated. Typically we arrive 15-30 minutes early, so we will need access to the event site at that time.
Modifications: If you need to change the date, time, or number of staff you require before your event, you must contact Nicole, to both modify changes to the agreement, and submit down payment as applicable, to cover changes.
Returned Checks: There will be a $50 fee for returned checks, plus the amount of the check.
Shelter, Water Activities, Sporting Events: Artists can work outdoors under proper weather conditions, but a suitable shelter (i.e., tent, canopy, umbrella) is required. Artists do not work in direct sun, or in rain, etc, since this affects the supplies. There is a charge for the artist to bring a canopy (5’x5’ or 10’x10’). If you are planning water activities, such as squirt guns, water shooters, dunk tank, or water balloons; or sports, such as basketball, soccer, baseball, or football, you must arrange for your artist to paint in an area that is safely removed from these activities. Also, face or body paint and henna is not waterproof and may come off during water activities. Please make sure to request water resistant based paints for water related activities, which has an upcharge.
Parking: Parking must be provided for the artist near the event location, so that equipment may be unloaded. If arrangements cannot be made for parking close to the location, then the client agrees to provide staff to unload equipment and deliver to the painting location. The client will reimburse the artist for any parking fees.
