Barbizon

Great place for people who’s interesting to become models or actors, especially little girls, but they scam you.
Around 2007, I took my 11 year old niece there (right now she’s 18) to this so called «modeling school». She wanted to be a model really bad, like those girls from the magazines and catalogs.
When I took her and her mom, which is my sister, to this place. It was a pack of girls from ages five to sixteen. The Barbizon people interviewed my niece and later, they asked me to pay… idk the cost but it was expensive. I could have that money for a car, but who could pay that much money for a monthly class?
Anyway, the next few months, me and my sister give up the payment and I told my niece about giving up that modeling class and have that modeling career during college. Although, she already in a four year college and she focusing on getting a bachelors degree in psychology.
Please don’t take your daughter to this awful program, they’ll asked you to pay tons amount of money. To become a model or an actress, go to school and take drama classes/​programs in high school and college. That’s my advice.

scam ripoff scam fake save your money

These people are scams. When you go there, they claim they gonna help you find acting and modeling gigs. THATS A LIE. EVERYTHING IS ABOUT MONEY. I graduated from there 5 years ago, I still haven’t book 1 job with them. Recently they emailed me saying there was going to be this scouting agent who’s looking for new talents, and also I would have to audition a monologue or whatever and also receive a free head shot from their fake photoshoot they set up. when we got there. The meeting was held at some hotel on E. 43 Btwn 2 and 1 ave. this lady had a slideshow and video presentation, more like a re to convince us in her scam. Then she gave each one of us a package. Opened it up, it says each person had to pay $ 5000.00 to fly to LA to actually meet people in the industry. I auditioned, of course the same day around 8:00 pm. I received a call saying that I did really well, the scout agent loved me, I made it to the next round, and I have to come back to meet up with her the following day and Make sure I bring 2,500.00 with me for a deposit. The funny thing is she said in the voicemail if you bring somebody with you, you will only $ 500.00 deposit, then you can set a payment plan. WHATTTTT? SCAMMMMM. I spent about $ 2,500. 00 attending this stupid school, thinking they could help me Jumpstart my modeling career. Of course, they just stole my money, the last thing they gonna get from me is more money. They accept anybody, and they make false promises. Everybody that I spoke with, that actually attended this school has nothing good to say about it. Everybody says the same thing. IT’S A SCAM. Please do not waste your time or your money or your children’s time. They will give him or her high hopes to steal your money please stay away, unless you don’t mind wasting your money.
