Common Questions
Q: What types of events are you popular at?
A: Most every type of event! Clementine The Amazing and her crew are hands down the most popular entertainment out there for your birthday party, wedding, grad night, bar and bat mitzvahs, winery events, farmers market, grand opening, fair, fund raiser, holiday party, employee appreciation picnic, company party, baby shower, school events, walk a thons, and pretty much anywhere you find yourself wondering what you can plan to entertain your guests.
Q: Is face painting, glitter tattoos, air brush tattoos, henna, or hair dos only for children?
A: NO WAY these types of fun are not just for children! Adults LOVE to being gussied up as well, often times we have a longer line of adults at events such as company picnics and even grad nights. We do find Glitter tattoos, air brush and henna to be most popular amongst the adults, however face painting over the past few years have gained in popularity because of the ability to customize and show the artists ability to be creative. With face and body paint the sky is the limit.
Q: If less people show up to a party can I pay you for a smaller package on the day of?
A: Sadly we can not down size a party package due to low attendance. Once we put your party or event on our calendar for a set amount of time, we have booked ourselves out and you would be responsible to pay the amount agreed upon on the contract.
Q: What if the artist paints everyone before the end of her hired time is over?
A: If your artist is done painting the faces of each guest, she may find other willing guests or paint arms and legs, until her time is up. If she is done and you would like her to leave before painting anymore guests, please let her know. When we are hired for any amount of time, we will be there until the end, unless otherwise asked to leave.
Q: What if we have more guests arrive than anticipated?
A: We prefer to know a head count ahead of time, in order to schedule accordingly. If you find yourself in the predicament of too many guests, please ask the artist at the beginning if she would be willing to stay past her scheduled time. You will be required to pay the additional 30 minutes on top of your balance at that time. If your artist does not have time to stay late, you will need to make sure that you stick to the amount agreed upon in the contract.
Q: A Clementine The Amazing artist was taking pictures of my child, will they end up online?
A: At parties we take a photo of each guest and try our hardest to ask each parent if we can use the photo for our website and FaceBook page. If we don't get the opportunity we send an email to the host/hostess after the party with a collage of the photos taken, asking permission to post and to give as a thank you to the guest of honor.
While we are out at a public event, we ask every parent, we have a list of places we may post the photo, and there may be a chance your child can be the next menu board picture, and feel famous any time they see their face at an event. The artists also take photos in order to show Clementine to receive critiques and advice on perfecting the design.
Q: Can you paint "Just one more"?
A: As much as we all LOVE to bring smiles to everyone, we do follow a schedule, and have to leave ON TIME. If you see an artist packing her things away, she should be only doing this after she is OFF the clock, therefore headed home. Sometimes in order to paint just one more kid could cost an artist 15 minutes, even at the smallest little design. 15 minutes might mean that the artist would be late to the next event where other children wait excitedly, or late to pick up their own children, or late to another appointment. The best way to handle when you see an artist packing up is by telling your child that the artist is needed elsewhere, and has been working really hard, next time we will be the first to get painted. Often times we try our hardest to paint everyone, and will do that one more IF we have time.
Q: Can you paint my face for a sporting event?
A: YES WE CAN! Please email Clementine and she can set up your private appointment for any type of game day!
Q: If I hire an artist to be at my event at 1:00 will she be there to set up before or right at 1:00?
A: All the artists at Clementine The Amazing, are required to be at least 10 minutes early to set up. Please make sure that if there are any special instructions for set up, you let Clementine know upon booking.
Q: Is your paints, henna, or glitter toxic?
A: All our paints, henna and glitter are approved for your skin. If paint gets in your eye or mouth you should be fine and not taste or feel anything. Henna is not very tasty if you get it in your mouth and is not recommended to eat, but you will be fine if it gets in your mouth. Due to the oils used to mix the henna if it gets in your eye, please flush your eye out. The glitter used is cut differently and the dyes used to color it are found to be safe for skin. We do not use craft glue or glitter ever as it is very unsafe for eyes and skin.
Q: Can I special request an artist?
A: PLEASE DO! We love to be loved by our friends, so if you know of anyone in our group that you prefer please ask upon booking, If your favorite artist is available we will make sure they are booked for your party. If you want to special request Clementine, you will need to pay extra money, as she is capable of painting more guests in less time.
Q: Why was Clementine my artist scheduled and then she emailed to tell me another artist was going to be my artist for my event?
A: Clementine is the fastest artist on the team and often times she will hand down events and parties to her lead artists when she is needed elsewhere. Clementine's lead artists are equally skilled artistically as her, however Clementine has many years of perfecting the fastest way to paint.
Q: All our guests are going to be young, they won't care what they get, can you just paint something small and simple for less money?
A: No, all the party packages were carefully made to cater to many different scenarios. Small children do have a hard time sitting still so small does not mean simple for someone who moves a lot. Often times our larger full face designs are much easier to accomplish with someone who has the wiggles. Also when dealing with younger children it does require a lot more time than an older child.
Q: We are having a free event for the public, will you paint for free?
A: Clementine The Amazing loves to paint but this is her job and needs to make a living, Clementine vows to donate to charities of her choice 2 times a year, you can email to see if she is available for your event. Clementine also requires all her artists to donate 2 hours each to a charity. There are also options for fund raising or public events for partial pay, please contact Clementine to find out if your event qualifies at [email protected]
