Barbizon Modeling School review

A few months ago I attended Barbizon...FOR ALL THE MONEY MY PARENTS PAID...it was NOT worth it at all. YOU learn things like facials, make-up, and walk down a runway- which, they dont even go over that well.

Yes, I made some friends..but it didnt do S*** for me, it didnt boost my confidence or anything. then they say when you graduate there will be agents there,....ya okay, ONLY THE TEACHERS WERE THERE. biggest rip OFFF EVER.DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY....but rather find an agent and take photoshoots. Thats what I did, and I got major movie parts.

i wouldnt complain about all of Barbizon. i think it just may be the school that you attended. i have talked to other girls around the country asking about the school in a forum, everyone had a different experience. i attended the one in Chicago, and my teacher was an actual model. it was great being taught by a professional. and my substitute teacher was actually in the Batman: Dark Knight movie. i thought she was kidding when she told us, but then i went to go see it! i dont think that Barbizon is for anyone. its really great for people who, like myself, have low self esteem.i wouldnt say it that expensive. i paid for the classes myself, and i work 3 days a week at a pizzeria! lol. yeah its not as great as the website says it is. and i was bored most of class time, but i dont regret going.

i feel better about myself.

You guys are all so crazy. You have nothing better to do than bash Barbizon no wonder you had problems there. It depends on the school, it is a franchise after all. It also still requires work on your part which most people fail to realize. Plus a big portion is based on personality, after all no one wants to work with a witch. I had a terrific school with wonderful teachers who all had lots of experience and had all been models or were still modeling. I had a great time and really enjoyed my trip to IMTA.

I wish everyone would stop bashing Barbizon. I graduated from there and it was one of the best experiences of my life. And, I'm not ugly!

Your parents spent money to teach you how to put on make up and walk with your nose in the air? LOL!

Barbizon can't help you GIRL! It might be the fact you are just plain UGLY!

Congratulations on getting parts outside of Barbizon. It is a rip off. I had a great instructor who suggested not to use the Barbizon agency ( she has left since I was there). I found a real agency and had real photos taken ...I'm going out often. Avoid Barbizon!!
