It is recommended to book 3 hours for up to 30 guests, 4 hours or more for parties having over 30 guests. Designs offered are created to allow the painting of the maximum number of guests, while providing high quality art. Glitter tattoos may also be available. RESCHEDULING / CANCELING: Please reschedule or cancel your event by giving at least a 48 hour notice.

(Guests will be painted with a cheek, headband, or other face design of their choice from a list of options)

This option is for Festivals, Corporate Events, Company Parties, Public Events, Private Events, etc. TIME ESTIMATE: Each design takes between 3-8 minutes, depending on requested designs. A tip jar will be set out for Events (not Birthday Parties), unless specifically declined beforehand.

BOOKING FEE: A Booking Fee of $25 is required to secure the date of the event. This fee will be applied as a credit toward your hourly rate. Party dates that are changed/canceled without at least a 48 hour notice will not be refunded the Booking Fee.

TRAVEL FEE: $0: Arroyo Grande, Grover Beach, Oceano, Pismo Beach, Shell Beach, Nipomo, Santa Maria, San Luis Obispo / $25: Morro Bay, Los Osos / $50: Santa Margarita, Atascadero / Additional fees for areas outside aforementioned cities.

SHADE: For outdoor events, space must be adequately shaded to protect the face paint and supplies. Shade must cover a 6’ x 6’ space. Unless otherwise noted, a 10' x 10' weighted canopy will be set-up. 

SET UP FOR ALL EVENTS: The artist brings all of the face painting materials needed for a successful event.  We will bring a 6’ portable table and a stool, but if preferred, a provided table that matches party decor can be used.  A 6-8 foot wide, level space is required. Adequate shade must be provided (see Shade). There is no charge for set-up/breakdown time (approx. 30 minutes or 1 hour with canopy included).

EXTRA TIME REQUESTS: Any time beyond the time booked will follow the fee schedule listed above. Only booked times are guaranteed, but the Artist will attempt to accommodate requests for additional paid time.

BREAKS: The artist will have paid breaks of 5-10 minutes every two hours and access to the restroom.

DISABILITY: In the event of incapacitation, illness, or injury of the artist, or delay arising therefrom, Client will be notified of such delay or cancellation. Should the artist need to cancel due to reasons mentioned above, the Booking Fee and any monies paid in advance will be refunded, and no further fees will be collected. 

LINE MANAGEMENT: If possible, the line for face painting should be monitored by the host or a designated person at your event.  The line should be closed with enough time for the remaining guests in line to be painted (approximately 5 minutes per face, depending on the complexity of the design), to avoid adding additional paid time.

EXTREME ADVERSE WORKING CONDITIONS: The artist has the right to cease painting and leave without refunding monies if there are extreme adverse working conditions and the client fails to remedy the situation after it has been brought to the Client’s attention. Adverse conditions include but are not limited to: destructive, violent, or inappropriate behavior of a guest, pet or adult illegal activities; or otherwise dangerous conditions. The artist has the right to cease painting due to weather conditions that interfere with face painting, including but not limited to, excessive wind, rain, or heat.

POLICIES/LIABILITY: Face paints and glitter used are professional products, and comply with all FDA cosmetic regulations. They are made for use on the face and body. As with any cosmetics, some people may have sensitivity to one of the ingredients. We are not responsible for any such reactions. People should not participate if they have sensitive skin and/or are allergic to coconut oil, red dye, or have other skin sensitivities. For the safety of the artist and other guests, we will not paint anyone who, in the opinion of the artist, appears to be suffering from: cold sores, conjunctivitis, any infectious skin condition, open wounds; has a runny nose, or is displaying other cold-like symptoms. Children under two years of age or who are under duress will not be painted. The artist uses reasonable care, but is not responsible for damage to clothing or property. The client agrees to pay for any accidents, injuries, or damage to the artist’s equipment, caused by pets, guests, sprinklers, or otherwise.  We may ask parents or adults if photos may be taken of painted guests for marketing purposes. Under no circumstances will the artist supervise children. Their behavior and safety is the Client’s and/or Parents’ responsibility. The artist will be focused on the guest being painted.

Final payment must be received before the end of the booked event, unless prior arrangements have been confirmed in writing. In the event of delinquent payments, the client will be charged a rate of 1.5% interest for every 30 days after the first 30 days.
