Her work

Painted freehand, on the day

All painted by hand, on the day, at real parties. Usually on a wriggling child.

How it works

Three messages and it’s sorted

  1. Tell Gaia about the party

    Date, place, roughly how many faces and how long you need her. A text is easiest.

  2. Gaia confirms and quotes

    You get a price for the time you need before anything is locked in.

  3. Gaia turns up and sets up

    Chair, paints, mirror and everything else. You need a shaded spot and a power point is a bonus.

Before you book

The things parents ask

  • What do you need from us on the day?

    A flat, shaded spot with room for a chair and a small table. Out of the wind if you can, because it keeps the paint clean and the kids comfortable.

  • How long does each face take?

    It depends on the design. A cheek design is quick; a full face with detail takes longer. Tell Gaia how many children are coming and she will tell you how long to book.

  • What about sensitive skin?

    Tell Gaia about any allergies or skin conditions when you book, and she will work around them or patch test on the day.

  • Can the kids choose their own designs?

    Yes. Gaia brings a board to pick from, and will have a go at anything reasonable a child asks for.

  • How far do you travel?

    Redcliffe, the Brisbane northside and surrounds. If you are further out, just ask. It is usually still a yes.

  • Do you do adults too?

    Constantly. Halloween, costume parties, club nights and photoshoots. There is a whole page for it.

Tell her about the party

Date, suburb, roughly how many children and how long you need her. A text is easiest, because she is usually with a client.
