How to Hire a Face Painter
So you want to hire a face painter for the next fun child’s event? Well, the process is relatively easy, but you want to make sure you hire the right face painter who is talented and a lot of fun with the kids. First and foremost, you’re going to need to find face painters. You can do this by placing an ad on Craigslist for your local area, or in your local newspaper. There are also websites where face painters place their services and pictures of their work. Once you have received a few responses, call the face painter up or invite him or her over to talk.
You’re going to want to see examples of their work, so ask them to email you or bring pictures of faces they’ve painted in the past. This way, you can see whether the face painter you’re hiring is any good or not. Take a look at their available face paint designs and the quality of their work. They don’t have to be Leonardo Da Vinci, but you want to make sure the kids are going to look great after having their faces painted.
Next, you’ll want to find out if the face painter is available the day of your event. Some face painters are booked up for months in advance, so be sure to check with him or her to make sure they can make it. Finally, you’ll want to find out how much they charge. You’ll want to keep your expenses to a minimum, especially if the children will receive free face paintings or if you’re doing this for a charity or non-profit event. If they are within your budget, create a small contract that states what you expect and the amount of money the face painter expects for the job. Have him or her sign and you are ready to enjoy the services of a face painter at your next child’s birthday party or other fun event.
