FAQs

We want to be your trusted kids party face painting entertainment choice.

Q: Do you accept last minute bookings?
A: Yes. We have expert face painting artists located all over the Chicago metro area. Therefore, in most cases we can find a face painter to meet your needs. However, the earlier you contact us to reserve your date and time, the better the chance that we will have artists available for your event.

Q: Must I book a minimum number of hours?
A: Yes, we do require a minimum booking of 2 hours per artist.

Q: Are there any hidden costs?
A: No. We provide every client with a written quote for approval before the event. Our hourly rate includes the artist, booking administration costs, face paint, supplies, insurance, and normal driving distances. For events requiring more than 45 minutes of driving in each direction, we do charge a small fee to cover the extra gas and lost time costs.

Q: Are tips included in your hourly rate?
A: No. If you and your guests are pleased with the face painting service, our artists would be thrilled to receive a cash tip.

Q: Do you accept credit cards?
A: No. But we can send you a PayPal payment request. You can set-up a free PayPal account and then pay us using your credit card.

Q: Your hourly rate and 2 hour minimum is above my budget. Are your prices flexible?
A: We hope that you will comparison shop, because we are confident that you won’t find better quality or better prices from any other face painters. And most clowns and magicians have much higher rates. We go out of our way to keep our prices affordable. After you see the huge smiles on the kids and adults at your party, you’ll know that Artistic Face Painting was worth every penny.
