Frequently Asked Questions
Entertainment can make or break an event! If you need help choosing which service(s) would be the best fit for your event, check out my quick and easy event guide here.
You can request to book an event from our Let's Party page. Once your booking is approved, a contract and booking fee are required to complete your booking. The booking fee is non-refundable and is applied to the final balance.
Yes. Many clients choose combo packages that include face painting, balloon twisting, glitter tattoos, airbrush tattoos, or a glitter bar. Just mention in your booking request which services you are interested in booking.
I've been face painting for 12 years! It doesn't seem possible, but as they say, time flies when you're having fun! I've been a balloon twister for 6 years now. I really fell in love with the art of balloon twisting and have had the honor of being a balloon twisting instructor at 3 different conventions across the country.
Yes! My degree is in graphic design, but I invest in myself and attend multiple conventions a year to learn new techniques in body art and balloon twisting from the best of the best! I'm proud to say that I have had the honor to teach at 3 conventions across the country. I will never stop learning, growing, and improving my art.
We accept Zelle, Venmo, Cash App, business check, cash, ACH, and credit card (please note there is a 3% processing fee to pay by credit card).
Many corporate clients choose a combination of airbrush and balloon twisting, often with multiple artists, to provide entertainment for their guests. These services are most requested for large events because they are quick, customizable, and suitable for all ages.
If I have the time, I don't mind traveling! Anything within 30 minutes from West Chester is included in my hourly rate. There's a $50 travel fee per 30 minutes after that (31-60 minutes is $50, 61-90 minutes is $100, etc.)
Yes! I'm fully insured by Beauty and BodyWork Insurance. Proof of Insurance can be provided upon request.
Summer through Fall is our "busy season" and weekends book up fast. Saturdays are our most requested day, while weekday events are easier to accommodate last minute. Holidays are also a busy time for entertainers. I would recommend booking 3 months in advance for summer and fall events. 2 or more weeks is recommended for spring and winter (unless it's for a holiday).
Face painting, balloon twisting, glitter tattoos, airbrush tattoos, and combo packages are all popular choices for company picnics because they appeal to a wide range of ages. Offering more than one service keeps guests engaged throughout the event.
The number of entertainers needed depends on your guest count, event length, and desired wait times. Large events often benefit from multiple artists to help keep lines moving and guests happy. Our team of experienced professionals can't be beat in terms of maximizing the number of guests we can service without sacrificing quality. For larger events we recommend 1 artist per 18-20 participants per hour for traditional face painting. For our other services we recommend 1 artist per 25-30 participants per hour. You can use our custom pricing tool to find the best combination of services for your event.
Absolutely. We regularly work with large events and can provide multiple artists to ensure guests receive a great experience while minimizing wait times.
Yes! Custom menus, themed designs, color schemes, and event-specific options are available depending on the service and event needs.
We provide entertainment for company picnics, family fun days, trade shows, grand openings, festivals, employee appreciation events, holiday parties, community outreach events, sporting events and more.
For private events I typically paint 18-20 faces per hour. For larger events, my team and I offer speed painting of up to 30 faces per hour!
I only use trusted brands from reputable sellers. The brands I use the most are Superstar and GTX. I prefer them because they're glycerin based which makes it more flexible and comfortable to wear with no cracking. I often forget I'm wearing it! Ingredient information is available upon request.
Absolutely! Face painting is popular with guests of all ages at festivals, themed parties, sporting events, and corporate celebrations. I'm also a multi-award winning body painter. You're never to old to be painted!
Yes. Designs can often be customized to match party themes, school mascots, company colors, holidays, and special events. With a background in graphic design, I love making custom menus to match themes and branding.
Face paint is easily removed with mild soap and water. I recommend working a small amount of liquid soap into the paint (without adding water) until the paint has lifted. Then, take a lightly damp paper towel to remove the pigment. If any staining occurs, you can try a skin safe oil like coconut oil to help lift the remaining pigment. Makeup remover wipes or micellar water also work great.
It is not recommended to use any cosmetics on children under the age of 3. Their skin is still very sensitive and it may cause a higher chance of contact dermatitis as they get older. If a 2 year old is eager to be painted, I generally recommend an arm paint as the skin is less sensitive (and they enjoy getting to watch me paint!).
The face paint I use is cosmetic grade, water activated makeup. If you have had sensitivities to other makeup, then it is possible and I'm happy to paint your arm instead!
Average pricing varies from $125-$150/hr in the greater Cincinnati area depending on experience. Our hourly rate is $150/hr which may be on the higher side, but our experience is going to save you money in the long run. We average 18-20 faces per hour for private events where other less experienced artists paint 10-12 faces per hour. We are also some of the only artists in Cincinnati that offer speed painting up to 30 faces per hour.
This depends on design complexity and event length. Simple designs can be created more quickly, while detailed sculptures take additional time. One balloon twister can create between 15-40 designs per hour depending on the event's needs.
Yes. Custom balloon menus are available for special events and corporate functions. I love creating themed favors and balloon centerpieces as well. Contact me for pricing!
Of course. As an international balloon instructor, I pride myself in coming up with unique designs for all ages. If appropriate, I can create an adults only menu.
Latex balloons are universally recognized as choking and suffocation hazards for toddlers. If a child under 3 would a like a balloon, it's important that they have supervision at all times. Do not allow your child to put a balloon in their mouth.
As long as they are disposed of properly (popped and then placed in a garbage can) latex balloons are biodegradable because they are made from the sap of rubber trees, a natural, renewable resource. With that said, if a balloon pops outdoors, please take care in making sure you collect all the pieces as they do impose a choking hazard to animals and small children. We do not support balloon releases as it is impossible to ensure proper disposal.
The average cost of balloon twisting in Cincinnati is between $125-150/hr. We charge $150/hr which is on the higher side, but as a balloon instructor, I receive compliments often from parents and event coordinators that they've never seen balloons like mine before. Have a high volume event? You don't need to sacrifice quality for quantity. Our 1 min or less balloons are just as entertaining as our birthday party balloons!
The hybrid paint we use is safe for faces and can last up to 3 days depending on skin type, placement, activity level, and aftercare. Avoid friction, lotions, and soaps to make it last longer.
Our airbrush tattoos are water and sweat-resistant, but you can easily remove them with mild soap or makeup remover. My personal recommendation is a makeup remover wipe that says it removes "waterproof" mascara.
Glitter tattoos typically last 3-7days with proper care. Lotions, friction, and alcohol will degrade the skin safe glue.
Yes. Glitter tattoos are water-resistant and hold up well during outdoor events and summer activities.
If you need to remove your glitter tattoo early or there's just some residual glue left over, you can use alcohol or a skin safe oil like coconut oil to break down the glue.
