Terms of booking for all private parties/events

ARRIVAL AND SET UP 

 - Arrival approx. 15-30 minutes ( up to 1 hour on all day events or where gazebo is required ) , before start.

 - For indoor events, everything is supplied, including directors chair. 

 - Face painting set up should be in a well lit area, not in a high traffic area ( doorway, narrow corridors or middle of the room) and I kindly ask not to be forced to set up near speakers or sound systems ( it is a health hazard and difficult to communicate with guests) 

-  Design board is often ( but not always ) provided as a guide of face painting ideas. I use words and simple cartoon characters ( for smaller children) on my board.  Designs are often adjusted to the individual, colours matched to the clothing, simplified or extra details - depending on guests requests and time available. Endless options and imagination. 

 - For outdoor set up, suitable waterproof cover must be provided ( gazebo/shelter that can protect paints from the sun or potential rain).

 - For parties at a private location, such as your home or garden, access to the tap or bathroom will be required.

HEALTH AND SAFETY 

- Face painting is for children 3+. Children under the age of 3 have sensitive skin that is developing and it can potentially cause sensitivity or reactions to products in the future. It is also against my insurance policy.

 - Anyone with ANY contagious illness, cannot be painted in order to prevent cross contamination and spreading it on others. ( Conjunctivitis, chicken pox, flu, cold sores, cough etc..) 

 - I will not paint over any cuts, wounds or any skin condition such as eczema. Only unaffected areas can be painted. 

 - Anyone with allergy should not be painted.

 - Clean faces only.

 - Face painting should be a pleasant and happy experience - we cannot paint any children against their will, or on children who are upset, crying or asleep. 

 -  No food/drinks policy on the face painting chair. No eating/chewing during face painting. ( it increases spillage risks, causes potential cross-contamination and slowing down the painting) 

​

CANCELLATIONS AND CHANGES ( private parties)

 - The deposit is NON- REFUNDABLE. It is only refundable if I ( the face painter) am forced to cancel due to emergency or unforeseen personal circumstances and I am unable to find suitable cover you are happy with. 

- Cancellations made by you on the day or within 48 hours before your event, are charged in full. 

 - Any changes must be communicated as soon as possible. Significant changes such as  the date, time and location are subject to availability - If unable to accommodate your request, it is classed as a cancellation.

WHAT TO EXPECT ON THE DAY 

- Any regular design takes any time between 2 - 5 minutes to paint ( please take into account and add the time children are getting on and off the chair, having their face cleaned if needed, deciding what they want, mirror moment at the end etc ) I personally recommend allowing  5 minutes per person, so 12 in 1hour for pleasant and enjoyable experiance.

 - If you would like children to take part in any games, photograph or food at once, please let me know to stop painting and  I can wait for them to do their activity.

 -  Please note, that if children wait until the end to get painted, I cannot guarantee I will have enough time for everyone. Due to other booking commitments, start and finish must be on time.

 -  At busy parties, if you wish to avoid children queueing, I encourage their parents to do so for them. Call them in before it is their turn, so they can enjoy more fun!

- Parties with 5 minutes or less per child, 1 design per person. 

 My responsibility and priority is to make sure that everyone who wants face paint is not left behind by the end of the party.

  - I may occasionally ( if time allows) ask to take some photos of the designs I paint. Please let me know if you would prefer me not to take any at all, at your party. I will completely understand and respect it. Photos are usually shared on my social media platforms ( FB and IG) , always with the permission of the parent.

 - To wash off the face paint, use a flannel and soapy water. Wet wipes are not recommended. Some wipes contain ingredients that can react in contact with face paint and cause reaction or irritability. Any stubborn pigment will come off with soap and a gentle scrub.
