3. How much notice do you need for bookings? The earlier you notify us the more likely we are available for your event. During Peak Periods ie October to January the earlier you book the better and a DEPOSIT is required for these times. We will accept last minute bookings. Our Artists are available 7 days a week including Public Holidays - all year round.
4. What products do you use? We only use good quality professional paints that are USA FDA and EEC approved and glitters that are safe for cosmetic use. Our paints are water based and are specifically designed for use on faces and bodies. Please ask if you want to see the MSDS for our paints. We use variety of paints from Snazaroo (preferred) Kryolan, Paradise, Wolfe Brothers, TAG and Grimas products.
All paint will come off by washing with soap or baby shampoo and plenty of water and a warm face washer. Some
Face Paintcolours may stain the skin temporarily but this is not harmful. Clean glitter in a direction which is away from the eyes.
Glitter/Airbrush Tattooscan be removed by applying baby oil, hand sanitiser or even sunscreen to the area and gently rubbing it. Wash with soap after to remove any residue.
Clothes that have been in contact with
Face Paintshould be soaked in cold water before washing normally.
6. What if I have allergies or sensitive skin? Ask us to do a patch test first. We will paint a small area inside the arm first, wait 20mins, then wash off. If there is no irritation then we can proceed with face painting. We will not be liable should any person react to our paints at any time.
If in doubt, don’t! 7. When do you arrive and set-up? We endeavour to arrive approx 15-20 minutes before the start of your booking to set-up. For events this can be up to 1/2 hour or more depending on the event. This also allows us time to paint the guest of honour at a Birthday party so they an then greet their guests.
8. What do I need to provide? MAD HATTERZ PARTIESprovide their own table, chairs and water. If there is no reasonable access to fresh water then please let us know so we can bring our own for the face painting and clean up.
Parties- you only need to provide the Food, Drinks and Birthday Cake and miscellaneous entertainment unless you have booked aPARTY PACKAGE.
Events- if possible shade/shelter is desirable. Please advise at time of booking if this is possible.
We ask that you place us in a comfortable, highly visible location. We respectfully ask that we are not placed in front of large speakers, or toilets.
If we are asked to paint something offensive then please understand that we have the right to refuse to paint it. We also reserve the right to not paint guests that are rude or offensive or if we feel the environment is unsafe.
9. Do you need power access? This depends on the event and we will advise at the time of your booking.
10. Do you have a minimum booking length? YES- our minimum booking is 1 hour. For individual requirements ie one off painting please call and discuss this.
11. Can we ask you stay longer on the day? YES- provided that the Artist has no additional engagements. This is negotiable with the Artist and additional fees will apply and are payable on the day.
12. Do you have insurance? YES- We carry $20million Public Liability Insurance, are DECS Police Checked and have undergone Mandatory Notification Training. Our Policy covers us anywhere from a backyard, shopping centre, house, local park or corporate event.
PLEASE NOTE: We are entertainers, not child minders. Children and their actions remain the responsibility of parents/guardians or event organiser at all times.
13. How many entertainers/artists do I need? The number of entertainers/artists required for a party/event depends on the length of the event/party, number of guests and/or type of event.
Generally for
Birthday Partiesor small group events one Artist is sufficient.
PARTY PACKAGESusually entail two entertainers arriving - the Face Painting Artist and the assisting Artist/s are in training.
If your event is larger than 40-50 guests (children and/or adults) please look at either extending the time of the painter/entertainer or asking
MAD HATTERZ PARTIESto employ multiple painters/entertainers.
We have a team of specialised
Face Painters/Glitter and Airbrush Tattoo Artists/Balloon Artiststhat are highly experienced and able to deal with large numbers of guests. Or maybe multiple painters/entertainers for part of the day.
Face Paintersand associated artists require and will take a break in extended working hours, so it is a good idea to cover their breaks with rotating shifts of entertainers.
