GENERAL QUESTIONS

What areas do you serve?

I serve Pittsburgh and the surrounding areas, generally within a 1-hour driving radius. I am happy to travel farther for events — extended travel fees may apply based on distance and location.

For events outside this radius, I gladly accept paid travel gigs. Extended travel may include fees for mileage, lodging (if necessary), or travel time, depending on distance and the nature of your event.

This makes me ideal for clients needing a reliable, professional makeup artist for:

• Out-of-town concert venues

• Destination weddings

• Film/TV locations

• Touring performers

• Regional festivals & productions

• Multi-day events or shoots

If you’re unsure whether your location qualifies, feel free to reach out — I’m always happy to discuss travel options and create a custom quote.

Are you insured and certified?

Yes. I carry full liability insurance and maintain professional certifications — including Barbicide Sanitation Certification, which ensures that all tools, surfaces, and products meet strict industry hygiene standards.
I also use cosmetic-grade, hypoallergenic paints and follow rigorous safety practices for both children and adults.

What types of events do you work?

I work a wide variety of events, including:

• Birthday parties

• Corporate events

• Concerts and performances

• Weddings and receptions

• Festivals & community events

• Photoshoots

• Film/TV projects

• Private creative appointments

• Adult parties & themed events

Do you paint adults?

Absolutely! My face art is elevated, modern, and designed for both adults and kids. I offer wedding face art, festival glam, party looks, and themed designs for grown-up events.

Do you paint children under 2?

For safety and skin sensitivity reasons, I do not paint children under 2 years old. Hand/arm designs may be available for very young guests upon request.

BOOKING & POLICIES

Is there a deposit required to book?

To secure your event date, a $50 deposit is required once your booking is confirmed. This deposit holds your time slot exclusively for you, ensures I can prepare materials for your event, and prevents double-booking.

How it works:

1. You inquire about your event date.

2. I confirm availability and gather event details.

3. You receive a payment link for the $50 deposit.

4. Once paid, your booking is officially reserved and added to my calendar.

5. The deposit is applied toward your final total, which is due the day of the event.

Why a deposit is required:

Deposits are non-refundable, but may be transferable to a new date if rescheduling is needed and my calendar allows.

What is your cancellation policy?

Cancellations must be made at least 24 hours in advance to avoid being charged the remaining balance.

This policy ensures I can offer your time slot to another client, prepare materials appropriately, and honor the time set aside for your event.
Rescheduling may be available depending on my calendar.

Do you take photos of clients?

Yes — with permission. I love capturing final looks for my portfolio and social media, as it helps future clients see real examples of my work. Before taking or sharing any photos, I will always confirm that you (or your child’s guardian) are comfortable with images being used on my website, Instagram, Facebook, or other promotional materials.

Your privacy matters.

Photos are never posted without consent, and you can opt out at any time — no questions asked. If you prefer to keep your images private, simply let me know and I’ll happily honor that.

For children, I will only share photos with direct parental/guardian approval, and I will never include names, school information, locations, or identifying details.
