Face painting prices in Midrand.
Most Midrand face painters price by the hour — from R1 100 for the first hour and R600 for each additional hour (one painter covers about 12 children an hour). Rough market ranges; each listed painter shows their own rates.
How pricing works
Each booked hour, one painter completes about 12 full-face designs, so a 2-hour booking suits ~24 children. Book more than one painter to serve more children in the same window — the per-hour rate applies per painter.
