CODE OF PRACTICE
PRODUCTS USED
All paints used are professional cosmetic face painting products such as Snazaroo, Grimas or DiamondFX . All products used are made with cosmetically approved ingredients, which are non-toxic and fully compliant with EU toy and cosmetic regulations.
The paints are water based so can easily be removed with soap and water (a wet flannel or a bath are ideal!).
Any glitters used are manufactured for face painting use.
ALLERGIC REACTIONS/HYGIENE
In the interests of hygiene, a child with a cold sore, rash or skin infection should not be painted.
If you are concerned as to any skin reaction, a skin test can be taken on the elbow at least one hour before the face is due to be painted. If there is any reaction at all, for obvious reasons, it would be
unwise to proceed with the face painting.
FOR AGES 3 AND ABOVE
Face painting is not recommended for children under 3 years old as it is very hard for them to be still for the sitting. If they are under 3 years old, it may be more suitable to do a small design on
their arm or hand as considered appropriate by their parent/guardian. We are unable to paint any child under the age of 2 in view of the above.
CLEAN EQUIPMENT
A fresh sponge is used for every child and water is replaced in a regular basis. We consider hygiene to be very important. If you child has a dirty face before painting, we have baby wipes to clean them before they can be painted.
All brushes, sponges and utensils are cleaned after and during every event to ensure high standards of hygiene at all times.
INSURANCE AND CRIMINAL REFERENCE CHECK
For your assurance, both liability insurance documentation and detailed criminal reference check papers are available for perusal as required.
EQUIPMENT
We supply our own table and chair and if required, we have our own gazebo for outside fun days and the like. Just tell us your needs. |

MURALS AND ARTWORK
If you have an idea, we can create a design for your wall!
If you would like a Mural quotation, we will take some details from you and we are happy to provide a free home visit to discuss your ideas. All artwork ideas can be discussed. |

CUSTOMER FEEDBACK
We value feedback above all else. If the children are happy, then the parents are happy.
If the event has gone well, it is great to know, and if there are areas that could be improved, or suggestions made for the future we are always happy to hear about them.
We value your feedback as it allows us to improve our service on an ongoing basis and brings back repeat business.

Thank you for playing your part in making Hugo's day so special.

Just to say a big thankyou for all your hard work on Sat night, especially after coming along to us straight from someone’s else’s party. You were great fun and the guests all enjoyed meeting you and your banter, not to mention the wonderful painting and balloon creations. Well done, you have won yourself a big fanbase here in Leigh, and I hope you get some repeat bookings over the coming year from my friends and family cos you deserve it. You worked hard, had a professional attitude and were really skillful at your job.
Many thanks again, you were fab and one of the evenings highlights for many guests

I just wanted to drop you a line and say thank you so much for everything you did at our wedding. The face painting was superb, and the kids were enthralled by both the face painting and the balloon modelling. We've had so many people ask about you, so I hope you dont mind but I've been passing on your website address!
Thanks again; I hope we can use you again in the future sometime!
I just wanted to say a massive thank you for yesterday, you were fantastic. I also wanted to pass on some feedback to you from a number of guests who said you are the best face painter they have ever seen!!! Thank you once again, I will definitely utilise you in the future and will certainly recommend you to others.
Just wanted to say another HUGE THANK YOU for making the children so happy on our Wedding Day! John noticed they were following you around like a pied piper which was wonderful to see!
We have had so many comments by our friends and family about how relaxed good you were with the children and how they loved the tattoo's and balloons and what unusual designs you could do!
Can't wait to see our photographs and DVD!!
Anyway, just wanted to say how THRILLED we both were to have you around on our day!
Thank you for keeping our children entertained at our daughter's christening. We had a great day.
Thank you so much for today you were both absolutely brilliant! Hope to get to use your services again!

I can't thank you enough for your efforts, the best entertainment we have ever had at a kids party and lots of the parents commented on how great you were with their children. You even managed to convert one little boy (he has been terrified of having his face painted for years) and he ended up as Spiderman!!!.....hope you can come to many more of our parties.'

yesterday, Both the adults & the children loved the weird & wonderful
balloons that you modelled, and as for the face painting & tattoos -
quite simply the best we have ever seen. You impressed a lot of our freinds who have children, so I expect I will see you again soon. Thanks again, it's been an absolute pleasure doing business with you. The Murphy Family xx.
A huge thank you to both of you for a fantastic job on Saturday. It was great to see so many fabulous balloons and painted faces and you kept us totally entertained for the entire party.
Balloons - Moving around the party and taking requests was perfect and you really involved the children and adults– it was super!
Painting - My daughter has never wanted her face painted before but you made the children all so comfortable that she was the best tiger I’ve ever seen! We would certainly recommend you and hope you will be able to make our next event!
