Face Painter Hire in Glasgow

Based in Glasgow, Face Candy Glasgow provides face painting, glitter tattoos, festival design and bespoke designs for a range of events from children's parties to birthday parties and more.

What do you need to know from an organiser in order to provide a comprehensive quote?

I require the date of the event, the place and postcode of the venue, the type of event, whether it’s a party, festival or nightclub for example. Finally, the approximate number of guests being painted.

What advice would you give to a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

Ensure the face painter is using the correct equipment, for example, using appropriate FDA approved paints and cosmetic glitters. Always ask if they are insured. It is good to know for larger events, if they have previous experience with them. Also if they can do designs specific to your theme or party.

Please tell us a little bit about how and why you started the business.

Face Candy Glasgow is only one year old. I completed a small college course in face painting adding skills to an old hobby. Like most things, moving forward 10 years things have changed substantially and I love it even more now. My job is my passion!

Please tell us about a booking you've had through Add to Event, how did it go? Would you recommend us to others?

I have had a few bookings via Add to Event. It’s ideal as you know what type of job you are responding to before you spend any credits. So if it doesn’t suit you, then you can pass on it. I like the notifications when a potential client has opened and read a message. The chat function is great, acting like an email with every message being saved after every communication. I was employed for a charity event in a busy shopping centre and I was able to communicate effectively with the shop, so that on the day I knew where I was going and how busy I was going to be.
