Frequently Asked Questions

The earlier the better! Weekends book up quickly, so you may not get your desired time if you call at the last minute. It's worth a try, though, because you never know when we might still have an opening!

Yes, this protects you as well as us. We often get multiple requests for the same time/date, and booking fees ensure there will be no disappointments. We will make sure your date is locked in once we receive your booking fee paid via credit card (along with your e-signed service agreement). The booking fee is non-refundable, 50% of the total cost of services to be provided, and will be applied towards your final total.

Our pricing, though standardized, can depend on many factors including the services chosen, the recommended number of artists for each service based on the number of guests, the length of the event, the travel distance, and peak versus non-peak dates and times. At the time of booking, we will always recommend the appropriate amount of time needed for your event, so there are no surprises, and to ensure all your guests are happy! While we are competitive, our pricing does reflect our quality, level of expertise, and professionalism, though we may not be the least expensive option. However, should you choose other entertainers, be sure to ask how many balloons they can create or faces they can paint per hour, and if they are fully insured.

Our artists are insured through Philadelphia Indemnity Ins Co for $1,000,000 per occurrence. We are happy to provide a Certificate of Insurance upon request after booking.

While performing, our artists need some space as it can get quite crowded. To avoid bumping into one another, we ask that the designated setup area isn’t too cramped. Also, if your event is outdoors, protection from the elements will be necessary. If a covered area or tent is not available at the event site, please let us know in advance, and we will be happy to provide our own (for a $75 fee).

Our face painters will bring a high director's chair and a small folding table. Please ensure the space you have chosen has adequate lighting.

Can a single artist offer face painting, glitter or airbrush designs, and/or balloon twisting during a booking?

No. Our artists specialize in their chosen skill, and do not offer multiple services at the same time. If you have a fixed budget for your bigger event - balloon twisters, airbrush artists, and glitter design artists can get to many more kids in the same time period than one face painter can. We will happily offer multiple services at the same time by providing separate artists.

Our artists are very meticulous in the packing, arrangement, and hygiene of their supplies, so we kindly ask that the children at the event be instructed not to touch them. Please make sure a parent or guardian is around to keep an eye on the little ones at all times, as we are not able to supervise children while we are performing.

The amount can range widely, all the way up to 40, depending on the complexity of the sculpture. If we are doing line work at a large event, the balloons tend to be quick sculptures (but always more than one balloon in each one). At a typical two-hour private party with 10-15 kids, everyone will likely get multiple, larger balloon sculptures.

If your balloon creations are kept off the ground and grass, and out of sunlight, they can last a week, or even more!

As is the industry standard, our face painter can paint around 20 kids for smaller private parties. (Please call to discuss numbers for corporate event planning.) This allows for an average of 6 minutes per child. If more want to participate in the fun, please book additional time in advance, as we hate to disappoint the kids. We usually have to pack up and leave promptly, in order to be on time for the next party! Glitter tattoo or airbrush designs are a great alternative that can be done faster - around 20-25 per two-hour party.

We use water activated professional face and body paints made with FDA approved ingredients. Our airbrush face and body paints are alcohol based. They wash off with soap and water. We use only cosmetic grade glitter.

Our face painters will not paint those who do not want to be painted. Also, children under 2 years of age have especially sensitive skin, and have a harder time sitting still. For these reasons, as well as insurance coverage, we ask that the faces presented to our artists belong to children two years and up. Lastly, our artists cannot paint people who appear to be suffering from open wounds, skin irritations, runny noses, coughs, or appear in any way unwell.

Throughout each event our face painting kits are constantly cleaned. Water is changed frequently, and fresh sponges and applicators are used for each child. After each event all brushes, sponges, applicators, towels, as well as the entire kit are cleaned and sanitized.

No. We do not apply glitter tattoos to any sensitive skin areas including faces or necks. We also do not apply them to those under 2 years of age, or to those with skin irritations.

For safe hygiene practices, please wipe noses and mouths before being seated for painting. Also, it helps out a great deal if all hair is tied or clipped back from the face. We will be happy to provide baby wipes and new bobby pins upon request.

Though we do provide services for the select 501(c)(3) non-profit organizations that are close to our hearts, we receive so many requests to sponsor entertainment for charities/fundraisers, that unfortunately, we cannot provide free entertainment for them all. We suggest finding a sponsor to help cover the cost of having us at your event.

If you need to reschedule your event, please do so at least 14 days prior and we will be happy to consult with you to find a mutually agreeable date. We do not offer refunds or reschedule for inclement weather, so it is recommended to have an indoor space as an alternative.
