Yes, we do require a contract and non-refundable deposit of 50% payable through Debit Card, Credit Card, Paypal, or Venmo. We accept VISA, MasterCard, American Express and Discover. You can pay the full amount at the time you pay the deposit or pay the balance 1 week before the event. Your party is fully confirmed once we received the signed contract and deposit.
How many hours should I book for?
We average about 12-15 faces an hour for face painting and balloon twisting for full face and multi balloon designs. This allows us to paint and twist a range of simple and more complex designs. If you are booking a large event ask about our wikiwiki (speed painting) menu which can service 18-20 guests per hour.
What kind of products do you use?
We only use professional FDA-approved face paints and cosmetic-grade glitter. I also use vegan paints and eco-friendly, biodegradable glitter. We malama ‘aina. We also use organic Henna that is hand-mixed in house. We never use acrylic paint, craft glitter or chemical-based henna as those are not meant to be used on skin and can cause horrible reactions.
Are you insured?
Absolutely! Island Girl Face Art has commercial liability insurance and our COI(Certificate of Insurance) is available upon request.
Can I combine services?

We also have themed parties such as Princess Parties, Mermaid Parties, Superheroes, Unicorn Parties. We also have Water-Proof face painting and Face/Body Painting with Balloons, Glitter Glam, Temporary Tattoos, Henna and Tarot Readings. You think it and we’ll make the magic happen!!
Is there ever a reason in which you would refuse to paint somebody?
Yes. We cannot paint keiki under the age of 2. We cannot paint anyone with a contagious skin condition or illness such as but not limited to conjunctivitis, cold sores, ukus (lice), chicken pox, ringworm, a contagious cough, and in the presence of a cold or flu or any visible rash or broken skin. I also cannot paint on skin that has open wounds or sores. This is to protect my face painting equipment from contamination which could potentially spread disease to to other guests I paint or glitter. If you are not feeling well please hold off from being painted that day and we will paint you when you are feeling better. We offer stickers for the little ones that are under-the-weather.
