August 17, 2024Enchanting Face Painting at Our Sweet 16!
We had the absolute pleasure of having Ladder Lady at our daughter's Sweet 16, and she truly added a spark of magic and enchantment to the event! From the moment she arrived, her warm and friendly demeanor put everyone at ease, and her incredible talent left us in awe. Each guest she painted was transformed into a stunning fairy, with intricate designs and vibrant colors that made them feel like they’d stepped into a magical world. The attention to detail was simply outstanding, and the creativity and passion she brought to her work made the evening unforgettable. If you’re looking for someone to add a touch of whimsy and wonder to your event, look no further than Ladder Lady. Highly recommended!

Her experience & professionalism gained as construction financial manager for over 20 years in the Lehigh Valley gives her an edge when working with clients. The attention to detail, creative designs, and themed costuming to complement your event will be unforgettable - in fact, she personally guarantees it.
"As the economy experienced major changes in 2008, I decided to explore my creative side by making customized home decor which led to an opportunity to face paint at an Emmaus restaurant. It was awesome, I was hooked on this amazing art medium, and I haven't looked back since. I truly enjoy working with families, businesses, students, schools, & communities in making their celebrations magical!"

The health and safety of our patrons is our priority, and we will keep it our priority.
Face Painting by Ladder Lady will continue with our already rigorous standards for cleanliness. In our business, our job is to entertain you, your children & guests, our job is make you feel at ease and help you to enjoy your party or event. Whether your deciding what type of entertainment to have?
First of all, face painting is not a risk-free activity. But then again, once you leave your home, there is very little out there that DOESN'T put you at risk of picking up a germ or two. (Think of the grocery carts you push, the hands you shake, the railings you hold onto climbing stairs, or the money you handle). But in my world of special events, I do a great deal to protect the health of my party clients and their guests as I always have.
LADDER LADY’S
HYGIENE STANDARDS
1. We use only high quality professional makeup that already contain antibacterial components. These makeup products are DRY to the touch and are activated only with fresh, clean water, which gives them their creamy texture.
2. I was trained to use a (3) wash system - one for activating makeup, with water that is clean enough to drink. The second basin contains rinse water for dirty brushes with a sterilizing liquid soap and a antimicrobial added. These basins are cleaned and water refreshed frequently. We will be doing this even more frequently by taking regular sanitation breaks and resume the line shortly.
3. We apply hand sanitizer between each child.
4. We use one or more brand new sponges per child and dispose of them. They are not shared or reused.
5. We use disposable lipstick applicators.
6. Cosmetic sanitizer spray is used on all face paint between use.
7. We strictly adhere to our Well Child policy when painting any child or person.
Additional booking notes
1. If you booked a tent, please provide an area of approximately 10 x 10 and flat for set up.
2. If event is held outdoors, area to be protected from weather elements (ex: wind, rain, extreme heat or cold, snow, etc.) preferably an area that is under cover.
3. Depending on the services, we may need access to a water supply and/or electric.
4. Painter to provide a portable face paint workstation, all supplies, and a professional makeup chair.
5. Client to provide a table for our set up.
6. Large events may require a line monitor to control the que and keep the line moving. We can supply someone for an additional fee, or you may have someone who will volunteer to assist.
7. Clients to provide an area free from traffic flow (off to side or corner of area)
8. Clients to provide a work area that has sufficient lighting. After dark events, please provide lighting for our work area.
