Venue Conditions
Client agrees to provide the artist with a safe and appropriate working environment. Client agrees to provide for use during the event: access to tap water, restroom access, adequate lighting, and protection from the sun, wind and rain. Shade from the sun is essential in any outdoor event. If the client does not provide a tent, one can be provided by the artist for a $15 fee. If your event is planned to be outdoors, please have an indoor backup plan in case of inclement weather. Our indoor set-up requires at least 6ft x 6ft of space. Neither the event fee nor the booking fee will be refunded if entertainment services are rendered impossible due to the client’s negligence in having a backup plan for bad weather conditions.
If weather becomes a possible threat to the event, a tentative rain date can be discussed 48 hours prior to the scheduled event. Please keep an eye on the forecast for your event so that we can plan accordingly! We may reach out as well, but it is ultimately the client’s responsibility to bring possible inclement weather to our attention.
Breaks
The artist will have a paid break of 5-10 minutes every 2 hours. Artist access to a restroom is mandatory.
Bounce House Cautions
If you plan to have a bounce house at your event, please discuss face painting with the bounce house company prior to hiring the artist. Please be aware that some bounce house companies do not allow face painting at the events where their equipment is used. If the artist is asked to leave due to a bounce house company, the artist will not refund any portion of the booking fee or event fee. If a bounce house is present at the event, the client alone is responsible for cleaning any face paint off the bounce house material and/or paying the bounce house company for such cleaning and/or damages of bounce house material that may occur.
Travel/Setup/Other Fees
Travel fees may apply for events that are more than 35 miles away from lincoln. Our current travel fee is +$0.65/mile beyond a 35 mile radius. Depending on your event, there may also be a charge for outdoor, lengthy, or difficult setup. This is generally a $15 fee, but please confirm with the artist prior to the event if you feel your event may be considered difficult to set up for.
The client is responsible for providing a tent/shade for outdoor events. If a tent needs to be provided by the artist for the event, a $15 fee will apply.
Artists will be provided with easily accessible parking on the property where services will be provided. Parking fees incurred by the artist must be paid for or reimbursed by the client. If a permit or pass is required, we must receive them at least 1 day before the event. If the event is at a commercial facility, the artist will be provided a parking spot near the commercial facility entrance door to unload equipment. If an accessible parking option is unavailable, Glitter Gang Face Paint and Body Art by Marissa has the right to deny or halt services.
If your event requires line management (long, long lines of kids waiting to be painted, usually with larger events), we require an additional $25/hour fee. You always have the option to provide someone to help with line management in order to avoid that fee, but we will need their full attention and assistance during peak times, and near the end of the contracted time especially.
Cancellation by the artist
Should the artist have to cancel (due to illness, emergency, or any other unforeseen and uncontrollable circumstance), the entire fee, including the generally non-refundable booking fee, will be refunded to the client.
A full refund of any amounts paid after an artist’s cancellation will represent a full satisfaction of any and all amounts due. This means that Glitter Gang Face Painting and Body Art by Marissa is no longer liable to the client for any further claim of damages or other claims of any kind whatsoever, beyond a full refund of any amounts paid by client.
Overtime
Any time beyond what was initially booked will be billed at the rate of $110 per hour, or $55 per half hour. There is a full half hour charge for every 1-30 minutes of overtime. This means overtime fees start the minute after the booking is scheduled to end. For example, if the event is scheduled until 3, but the artist is still painting at 3:02, overtime fees apply. Please plan accordingly. Overtime fees do not apply to tear-down time. We cannot guarantee to have additional time available on the day of your event. We can only guarantee to be there for the initial contracted time. Although the artist will attempt to accommodate requests for additional paid time, additional time on the day of the event may not be available.
It is the responsibility of the client to limit additional guests from requesting services near the end of the booking. Please book enough time to have all of your guests painted in order to avoid this disappointment.

If you have concerns regarding your child’s reaction to the face paints, please discuss that with the artist before the child is painted. Ask for a patch test. If irritation occurs within 30 minutes, remove face paint immediately. Otherwise, remove face paint before bedtime. Don’t sleep in face paint as it can cause irritation and/or transfer to blankets/bed sheets. To remove the facepaint from the skin, use a soft washcloth with mild face soap (CeraVe works great!) and warm water. If color remains on the face, use coconut oil or vegetable oil worked gently into the skin to help remove the pigment. Do not use alcohol, harsh makeup removers or strong soaps, which can irritate the skin.
The artist will use reasonable care but is not responsible for damage to clothing or property. Clothing that has been in contact with face paint should be soaked in cold water overnight with an oxygen activated stain remover before washing as indicated on the care label. Avoid placing stained clothing in the dryer to set the stain. Hang to dry and check to see if stain remains. If stain is still present, repeat the stain removal process.
