Frequently Asked Questions

How are you addressing COVID-19?

While we have always kept a focus on sanitary practices, we want to reassure all our clients that we adhere strictly to the CDC’s recommendations when keeping our stations, our kits, and the application of our services in the highest sanitary condition. Our artists stay up-to-date and accommodate to make necessary changes to address requirements.

I see that you attend public events, festivals, and fairs… do you book private events/ parties?

Oh, Fer Cute! Entertainment will bring sparkle and excitement to the community no matter where we are.  Like everywhere in Minnesota, Summer months are always the busiest and are often reserved for larger events, fairs, and festivals. If you have a private party, or event, and would like to discuss adding color and energy, we would love to hear from you.  Please contact us to share more.

How far in advance should I book?

To guarantee availability on the day of your event, we encourage all clients to book as early as possible to avoid disappointment.

What areas do you cover?

Oh, Fer Cute! Entertainment is based out of Zimmerman, MN.  Most of the events we attend are within a 30 min radius, however, we may be able to accommodate events further afield subject to travel costs. Please contact us to discuss your preferred location.

What is your cancellation policy?

Please see Our Rates page for cancellation request details.

What type of products do you use?

We only use FDA-compliant products from the best brands to ensure professional, high-quality service. These materials are top quality, cosmetic-grade, hypoallergenic, and made especially for the face and body.
**We NEVER use craft paints or craft glitters!!

What do I do if I think my child is having an allergic reaction?

Our paints are professional-grade and suitable for use on sensitive skin. However, as with all cosmetic products, there is a small risk of an allergic reaction. If you are concerned that you or your child may have developed an allergy to the face paint, remove it as soon as possible with warm water and a flannel. If the reaction does not settle or is severe, seek medical attention as soon as possible.

How do I remove the face paint and glitter?

All paints are water activated and can be is easily removed using warm water and a gentle soap suitable for the face.  Be sure to help your child with washing and removing their body art with mild soap or baby shampoo. Lather gently with fingers, rinse with warm water using a dark washcloth.  Be sure to keep your eyes closed to prevent eye irritation.  Avoid scrubbing, scrubbing can irritate sensitive faces and eye irritation.  If color remains, gently remove with baby oil or moisturizer on a cotton pad.  We do our best to keep glitter applications from near the eyes, however, rubbing, scrubbing, wiping, etc. may result in glitter migrating to unintended areas.  Be sure to prevent glitter from getting close to or in the eyes while removing and washing the face.

Do you bring your own setup?

Yes, we can bring everything we need! For some events, we may request that the host provide basic equipment (table, chairs, water access, etc.)  This will be discussed at the time of booking and will be outlined in your service contract.

We have 3 types of stations.

• Mobile Painting Studio- perfect for outdoor events (carnivals, festivals, fairs, parades, etc.) or large auditoriums or conference halls (trade shows, school events, etc.) The mobile painting studio is a beautiful, one-of-a-kind, safe, clean, and self-contained art studio to bring energy and fun to your event.
• Walk-About Painting– large-scale events with guests on the move (sports events, concerts, charity runs, festivals, fairs, parades, trade shows, conferences, conventions, etc.). Our artists have everything on them.
• Studios-To-Go: Luxury Vanity– great for all types of smaller parties and private events (Weddings, Showers, Parties, Celebrations, Company Parties… and more)

We will work with you to determine the setup that best meets the needs of our artists and your event.

What happens if there is severe weather or an emergency/unexpected situation?

Even the best-laid plans can still fail. For private events, please have an alternative plan in case of rain or extreme temperatures.  We do our best to accommodate and work with you to entertain your guests, however, we reserve the right to cease working and leave if there are extreme adverse working conditions. Adverse conditions include but are not limited to severe weather, destructive environment, violent, unsafe conditions, or extremely inappropriate behavior of a child or adult, illegal activities, etc.

What size space do you need?

• Our Mobile Painting Studio requires a minimum of 7’x 16’ however, ideally, we desire a 10’x20’
• Walk-About Painting– No required “space”- our artists meet your guests where they are. No defined space is necessary.
• Luxury Vanity– this requires a well-lit 5×5 space for 1 Artist and 7×7 for 2 Artists and preferably a logical place for a waiting line (our services are popular and will often have guests waiting). Our team will works with you to determine how many artists are appropriate for your event needs

Do you work with non-profit or community organizations?

Yes. We love to partner with non-profits, charities, and community organizations. We offer several contracted service options and 10% of proceeds for each event/ booking is donated to charitable organizations. Contact us to tell us about your request/ idea.

I have a medical condition. Can I still be painted?
