Fees & Payments
Averages $100 to $150 Per Hour Per Artist with a 1 Hour Minimum based on how many hours/type/location of event. Call or email to get your hourly rate. One Artist can paint approximately 12 to 17 faces per hour depending on the intricacy of the designs that are chosen. Be sure to book your time accordingly to avoid leaving anyone out. PLEASE do not ask us to disappoint any guests due to lack of time booked. Sometimes we have an event booked right after yours and we may not be able to stay past stop time contracted here. If you exceed the time booked and we are available to stay, it will be charged in half hour increments. Client will pay for the time booked plus overrun, even if Client has delayed the time we start the actual painting. At no charge to you, we will need 15 minutes of setup and tear down time. Client must pay for a minimum of 1 hour even if Client uses Artists for less than 1 hour. Your event is not booked until we receive the completed contract. Cancel your event within 72 hours prior or you must pay contracted amount. All charges are due on the day of the event by cash or check. If you would like to pay by credit card, please do so 3 days in advance of your event - we will invoice you.
Travel/Setup/Other Fees
Travel fees apply when the event is more than 35 minutes from Colorado Springs. Call for a quote. Depending on your event, there may be a charge for time consuming setup - usually $30 but please call for a quote. Parking fees must be paid to artist with other payment. Should a check be returned, there is a $30 returned check fee.
Parking
Please either leave a space open in front of the house on the street, the driveway, or a loading dock so Artist can unload equipment. The Client will reimburse Artists for any parking fees.
Safe Setup Minimum Requirements
Please provide a minimum of 4’ x 5’ space per artist and 15 minutes of setup (you do not pay for this time) and take down time is required. Please ensure that location has adequate lighting but we can bring lights if necessary - please let us know IN ADVANCE. Please provide access to bathroom facilities. If outdoor, you must provide us with STAKED AND WEIGHTED sun/wind/rain shelter. Our paints contain waxes and glycerin which if exposed to direct sunlight, can become unusable from melting. *WIND: If you have never set up a tent in Colorado wind, you are grossly underestimating damage and INJURIES you will be legally and financially responsible for by not properly securing your tent.* Stakes are usually not adequate - weights are necessary. We are NOT responsible for injury, damage or any other liabilities caused by your pop-up tents taking flight. If you are not able to remedy the sun/wind/rain exposure by moving to a sheltered or alternate indoor location, we are leaving without refunding payment. We love that you hired a band/DJ, but if we can’t hear your guests, or they can’t hear us it will massively slow us down. Please locate us away from speakers.
Weather
For the comfort of your guests and our artists, the client agrees to provide an area with protection from extreme temperatures, sun, rain, snow and excessive wind. Client is responsible to provide an alternate indoor location in the event of inclement weather. The client agrees to pay the full amount contracted once the painter has arrived at the event location, even if it is raining. We do not offer refunds for inclement weather. If you are not able to remedy the sun/wind/rain exposure by moving to a sheltered or alternate indoor location, we are leaving without refunding payment.
Artists
If you want a particular artist, you must specify at booking, but we have the right to substitute talent at any time due to scheduling, driving distances, and talent coordination between events.
Breaks
Artists will have paid breaks of 5-10 minutes every two hours and access to a rest room.
Participant Age
It is too dangerous to paint the faces of wiggling kids under 3 so we will paint something on the arm. The FDA does not test cosmetics on kids under 3 so our insurance won’t cover them. The arm / hand is better for them anyway because they don’t need a mirror to see their painting. We will never participate in forcing this on a child.
Cancellations / Rescheduling
Should you need to reschedule your event, please do so at least 7 days prior and we will make every effort to meet your needs. If you need to cancel the event, you must cancel 7 days (168 hours) of the event or you will have to pay the total contracted cost. *We do not offer refunds for inclement weather so please secure an alternate indoor location for your event in advance. Should our Artist get sick/ have to cancel, we will make every effort to find a replacement Artist.
No Amateur “Helpers”
We do not paint alongside volunteers, amateur “helpers”/students. This opens up our company to a multitude of liabilities and associates our company with poor quality work, questionable cosmetic products, and makes line management impossible. Our insurance does not allow attendees or amateurs to use our paints.
Limitations On Subject Matter
If in public, artists will not paint on any part of the body that is not legal to expose or any place she does not feel comfortable painting. In addition, Artists will not paint subject matter she deems offensive or disturbing.
“Just One More” Syndrome
Without exception, we will paint the last face at the stop time you entered on the contract. We will not paint “just one more” even if you were unable to start your event on time. We have events scheduled back-to-back and must plan for traffic, have day jobs, and pay for babysitters. We are hired by the hour. It is your responsibility to inform your customers of our end time.
Adverse Working Conditions
Artist has the right to cease painting and leave without refunding any 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 included but not limited to: destructive, violent, or extreme inappropriate behavior of a child, pet or adult; illegal activities; or otherwise dangerous conditions. If you are not able to remedy the sun/wind/rain exposure by moving to a sheltered or alternate indoor location, we are leaving without refunding payment.
Liability Statement
While we use ONLY FDA approved cosmetic grade face painting supplies, Artist is not liable for allergic reactions to paints. People with skin allergies or sensitive skin should either not participate, or have Artist perform a patch test at the beginning of the party. COVID Statement: Face paint is makeup. We use cosmetic grade disinfecting agents, and makeup contains antimicrobials. You can choose for us to paint an arm rather than a face if preferred. Even with added precautions,there is no way to avoid all risk of ANY viral transmission in face and body art - do so at your own risk. Client understands that darker face paints will linger and must be removed with mild soap, water and washcloth. For safety reasons, Artists will not paint children under 3 years old or anyone who is unwilling. Per insurance requirements, Artists will not paint anyone who is or appears to the Artist to be sick or suffering from cold sores, conjunctivitis, ringworm, sunburn, eczema, head lice, any infectious skin condition or open wounds. These determinations are at the Artist’s discretion. Artists will use reasonable care, but is not responsible for damage to clothing or property. The Client agrees to pay for all accidents, injuries, and damages to Artist equipment or supplies caused by improperly secured tents, equipment, pets, entertainment staff, lawn sprinklers, wind, weather events, or guests. Under no circumstances will Artists supervise children. Their behavior and safety is the Client’s and/or Parents’ responsibility.
