Frequently Asked Questions for face painting

Yes, 2 hours is the minimum booking time unless you are within 1 mile to Clapton E5, in which case I can do 1 hour parties.

I can paint 20 faces in 2 hours. To get the best results without rushing the children, I recommend more time if your party consists of more than 20, otherwise the designs will be reduced to enable me to paint everyone within the time limit. Extra time can be decided at the party and is charged at £30 per half hour (subject to availability)
