How do I know how many hours I should book an artist for?
When booking an artist, it's essential to consider the number of guests and the complexity of the designs. On average, an artist can create up to 10 designs in a 50-minute session. Simpler designs will take less time, while more complex designs will require additional time.
Here are some guidelines to help you determine how many sessions you may need:
-
One 50-minute session: Ideal for up to 10 guests (suitable for simple designs and black-and-white faces only).
-
Two 50-minute sessions: Accommodates up to 22 guests.
-
Three 50-minute sessions: Supports up to 36 guests.
Please note that for each 50-minute session booked, a BAA artist will stay for the full hour to set up, break down, and take short breaks between sessions to prevent fatigue.
If you have specific requests or questions, please inquire, and we’ll be happy to assist!
