I knew going in to this that it was a scam. unfortunately we would do anything for our kids. After we got our card in the mail and calling them I asked if they were going to try to sell us modeling classes and they stated "No". I took my son to the BS seminar and sure enough they filled his head with false hopes and dreams and then hit us with the sales pitch. My fault for falling for it in the first place. Now my son is crushed, angry at me, and Barbizon will get their naive fools that actually pay. 129535f  Comments (621) |

| 3. Written by Industry Insider on April 13, 2012 from -, -, US As someone who worked in the fashiOn industry for 15 years, please listen to me when I say these schools mail you from a list probably obtained from a magazine you've subscribed to or possibly your middle school and they have no idea if you have potential nor do they care. You are a potential customer and they will hard sell you by telling you about all the work you can get. Tuition is grossly overpriced because you will get little more than basic makeup and poise advise you could easily get from a 12 dollar book. NO one who thinks you have potential will never ask you for money! I have never worked with anyone who has paid someone for classes in modelling. |

| 6. Written by Vivian on April 4, 2012 from seattle, washington, US Barbizon is one of the very best things that happened to my almost now 9 year old. Since she began her classes at Barbizon, her confidence has been enlightened, SHE ABSOLUTELY LOVES the classes, her teachers and the friends she has made. She is working hard towards graduation and what comes after that we are ready for it. any mom who wants the best for their kid who wants to get into acting and/or modelling absolutely needs barbizon. We love it ! |
| 7. Written by Amber on April 1, 2012 from aubrey, texas, US I went to a Barbizon workshop in downtown La yesterday, had an interview, and they want to work with me. My interviewer already helped with my walk and commercial skills up front and they've trained many models that are a success today! I dpnt think it's a scam |

| 9. Written by Maria on March 27, 2012 from yonkers, new york, US For those of you who say that it is not a scam, it's a school, that IS a scam!!! They don't portray themselves as a school until they've roped you in. If they were a legitimate school they would advertise themselves as such!!! |
10. Written by Mrs.Daniels on March 23, 2012 from middletown, new york, US Barizon Modeling Agency is full of CRAP! Back in 2005 the agency came to my hometown, and a couple of my classmates and myself as well went to the casting. Out of the 7 of us there all of us were chose. We never got a chance to model or do commercials like they said we would. I wasted $1,700 on a false hope! |
