General Booking Information
| A non-refundable booking fee is required for certain services, out-of-town bookings, events | |
| held at third party venues and/or to book dates during peak season. If an event is cancelled or rescheduled the booking fee may be applied to an alternate date, based on my availability, within the calendar year. |
| Please book as far in advance as possible to ensure your dates are reserved. Tentative | |
| bookings will be held for a week pending return of signed agreements and required fees. Should agreements and deposits not be returned the dates will be released to other bookings. Due to scheduling, short notice bookings (i.e. less than two weeks) cannot generally be accepted. |
| Notice of cancellation is required at least 72 hours prior to booking or you will be invoiced for | |
| the full amount. |
| Payment in full is required on the day of the event or service, unless prior arrangements | |
| have been made and confirmed in writing. Payment in full in advance is welcome if more convenient. |
| Cash payment or confirmed email transfer is required from individuals; cheques accepted | |
| from companies and organizations. Payment of booking fees or pre-payment in full can be accepted via email/electronic banking, cash or cheque. |
| I highly recommend for Wedding bookings that a Pre-Test appointment be made prior to the | |
| wedding date to ensure that the bride is comfortable with her look. Please contact me to discuss well in advance. |
| I am unable to provide services on a voluntary basis, however special rates or discounts | |
| may be available for charitable fund raising events, please contact me to inquire. Groups are required to be registered charities or incorporated non-profit organizations under the Societies Act to qualify for a discount. |
| I work on an hourly basis, with a two-hour minimum booking, for Face Painting and | |
| Temporary Tattoo services (excluding my Birthday Party Package). Straight Make-Up services are per person or hourly, with a set minimum charge. Body Painting, Special Effects and other services will be quoted based on the specifics of the services required. Please contact me to obtain a customized quote and current rates. |
| When scheduling face painting please note that approximately 12-15 full face designs can | |
| completed per hour per artist (4-7 minutes per face depending upon detail required.) |
| The option of "Fast Faces" of 15-20 face paintings per hour is also available (4 minutes or | |
| less per face) for high volume events. Please request this option at the time of booking as the specific display and design board will be required. Please note that this rate of painting is for myself (Shannon) only, additional painters may be slower. |
| For Face Painting events the artist(s) will arrive in event/season appropriate clothing. If | |
| possible, with their faces painted to suit their outfit, the season or the theme of the event. For other services, dress will be appropriate to the occasion. If there are dress requirements please state them at time of booking. |
| A special Birthday Party Package for children's parties can be requested at the time of | |
| booking. This party package includes Face Painting and/or Temporary Tattoos and is limited to 15 children. If you are planning a larger party my regular hourly rate will be applicable with a two-hour minimum booking. |
| If your event or function has a theme this can be incorporated into the face painting design | |
| selection with advance notice. For an additional fee the artist(s) may be able to dress-up to fit into your theme. Please inquire prior to booking as to available characters and costumes. |
| Mileage charges are applicable outside a predetermined area (Pickering, Ajax, Whitby) and | |
| will be advised prior to confirmation of booking. SUBJECT TO CHANGE WITHOUT NOTICE. |
| I carry public liability insurance (certificates can be provided, if requested in advance, for | |
| specific named events.) |
| I follow a strict practice of hygiene and sanitation. Only recognized and safe professional | |
| make-up, cosmetic products and face paints (which are water based and activated make- up) are used. |
| Children under three years of age cannot be face painted due to manufacturers' product use | |
| stipulations and liability issues. Please review my Disclaimer and Safety Information (these are also posted at all jobs for everyone to read.) |
| Please read my sign regarding Line Control at public Face Painting events. |
| I am a member of FACE, The International Face Painting Association; CAFABA, Canadian | |
| Association of Face and Body Artists; and the Face Painting & Body Art Association. I am Accredited as an ADVANCED (LEVEL 2) FACE PAINTER by FACE, The International Face Painting Association. |
| IMPORTANT: Adequate space and shelter must be provided. Typically a standard | |
| rectangular folding table and two chairs of the same height are the minimum required for an indoor booking for one artist. If working outside shelter from sun, wind and/or rain must be provided as well. Parking access is also required convenient to the work location. The artist (s) have the final say on whether the conditions are suitable to work in on arrival and will not start work until satisfied that conditions are suitable. |
| For small groups or bookings of short duration, such as Birthday Parties, I can be flexible on | |
| set-up as long as there is a table/work surface and two seats of equal height. |
| I can bring my own table and chairs (for an additional fee) should none be available at the | |
| location, for example: at a park, but please advise at time of booking. |
| Safety and comfort are mandatory on all jobs and the artist(s) will not work if conditions | |
| pose a hazard to their health or safety - this includes but is not limited to: exposure to weather and sudden extreme weather events; hazards such as flying debris, exhaust, fumes, smoke or other irritants; threatening or rowdy individuals or customers; excessive alcohol use and drunken behaviour; illegal activity and/or use of illegal substances; verbal abuse from customers or staff; sudden illness or injury to the artist. The artist alone will make the decision on whether they feel their health or safety are at risk and will shut down if they feel there is any risk whatsoever. |
