Salt Lake City · Wasatch Front
Face painting that turns birthday chaos into little masterpieces.
Hi, I’m Gail — an 18-year-old face painter bringing bright, kid-loved designs to birthday parties and events across Salt Lake City and the Wasatch Front.
About Gail
Friendly, careful, and ready for the party.
I’m Gail, and Little Canvas Face Art is my business. I love turning kids into butterflies, tigers, superheroes, and sparkly princesses — and I love the smiles even more.
I bring professional, cosmetic-grade face paints, a clean kit, and a design board so guests can pick quickly. You provide a little shade and a spot for my table; I handle the rest.
Based in Salt Lake City and happy to travel the Wasatch Front for birthdays, school carnivals, church events, and family celebrations.

Safety & hygiene
Little Canvas Face Art uses professional cosmetic-grade face paints and cosmetic glitter only (brands like TAG, Diamond FX, and Wolfe — never craft acrylics). Sponges are fresh or cleaned per guest, brushes are cleaned between kids, and I won’t paint over cuts, cold sores, eczema, or broken skin. Please mention any allergies when you book. Very young toddlers are usually best with a small arm or hand design.
FAQ
Quick answers for parents
How does the deposit work?
A deposit of 50% of the package price (or $50 minimum) holds your date. The remaining balance is due the day of the party (Venmo, Cash App, card, or cash — payment options confirmed when we book).
What’s your cancellation policy?
Please give at least 48 hours’ notice to reschedule or cancel when possible. Deposits are generally non-refundable inside 48 hours but can often be applied to a new date if we find a mutually open slot. Weather backups for outdoor parties are welcome — let’s plan a covered spot or indoor Plan B.
Do you charge a travel fee?
Travel inside Salt Lake County is usually included. Outside Salt Lake County, travel is $0.60 per mile round trip. If you’re unsure which applies, put your city in the booking form and we’ll confirm.
How many kids can you paint per hour?
About 10–12 elaborate full faces per hour, or more when guests choose quicker eye/cheek designs. The 1.5-hour package (~15–18 faces) is the sweet spot for most birthday parties. For school carnivals and big crowds, ask about the speed-art rate ($110/hr, 2-hour minimum, ~20–30 guests/hr).
What about allergies or sensitive skin?
Tell me about allergies or sensitive skin when you book. I use cosmetic-grade paints only. I won’t paint over irritated or broken skin. If a child has had a reaction to face paint before, we’ll skip painting or try a tiny patch test area first with a parent’s OK.
What should I provide as the host?
A little open space, shade if outdoors, and ideally a table and chair. I’ll bring paints, brushes, sponges, a design board, and sanitation supplies. Access to a bathroom sink for water changes is helpful but not required for shorter parties.
