Frequently Asked Questions
Why hire a professional?
It's true that you will pay more for a skilled professional, but in many ways you come out well ahead. I spend hours practicing my skills so that when hired I can provide fast, high quality designs. As a professional, I am experienced in handling large crowds. I use top-quality, professional cosmetics and glitter, which is extremely important. You don't want makeup that melts off your face halfway through your big day. And for face art, you don't want rashes on your guests' skin caused by acrylic paint or other undesirable products, or harsh craft glitter injuring their eyes. Last but not least, my quality of work is top-notch!
What products do you use?
I use only professional cosmetics designed specifically for the art of makeup. Brands I use include Temptu, MAC, Mehron, Snazaroo, Ben Nye, and Graftobian. To learn more about the products, visit their websites.
How far will you travel?
For parties and large events, I will travel anywhere within the Northwest Georgia, Chattanooga & Cleveland Tennessee areas. Travel fees apply for destinations more than 30 miles from my home. The typical rate for Dalton begins at $65 per hour with a 1 hour minimum and increases according to what you are booking. The typical rates for Marietta GA, Chattanooga & Cleveland TN begin at $75 an hour with a 2 hour minimum and increase according to what you are booking.
Individual appointments for application of makeup (airbrush beauty makeup, face art, halloween appointments, realistic long-wear temporary tattoos, etc.) are in-studio only and priced according to need. The studio is located inside Historical Peacock Alley on Hamilton Street in Downtown Dalton, GA, just across the street from Tijuana's Mexican Restaurant.
How do I book you for a party or other large event? What will you ask me?
Complete this form, call me at 706.217.5754 or send an email to me at
amanda@fabulousfaceart.com. I will ask you how many guests you are expecting, the age of your guests, the theme of your event, and what services you are wanting to book. I'll want to know if your event will be inside or outside, and a date and time.
Do you require a deposit?
I do require a deposit, which is a minimum of 50% of my total fee for the occassion. The deposit assures that I will hold that date and time for you and will not book any other event during that time. This is done to protect your booking, as well as to protect me from last-minute cancellations that would cost me money in other jobs I may have had to turn away. Dates will be held for deposit for 10 days after booking. Deposits not received within 10 days will result in cancellation of my services. Re-booking after a cancellation requires deposit to be paid at the time of re-booking.
What forms of payment do you accept?
I accept credit & debit cards and cash.
How far in advance should I book?
It's never too early to book! You should book your appointment or event with me as soon as you know the time and date. Weekends fill up fast, so call today!
Will you donate your services for my charitable event?
This is really a hard one... It's something I get asked a lot, and while I absolutely love using my skills for good causes, I must limit the amount of time I donate to charities. This is my job, and I must earn a living with it. However, I am sometimes able to work for a reduced rate considering the organization and my schedule. Thanks for understanding!
