Barbizon Modeling School — Screwed me big time!

Im a barbizon graduate of a few monthss now.

at first they promised the sky for me but i didn't by all into it.

long story short barbizon never came through with ANYTHING that they promised i spent money on total BS!

they don't get you jobs or casting calls unless your willing to shell out 2, 000 more dollars.

BARBIZON IS A RIPOFF!

they barely teach you how to model you shell out alot of money on clothes and make up.

the instructors are crap they barley know anything about modeling them selves. and i lost so many weekends doing this

Don't ge sucked into there scam.

      First let me mention that I have never attended this school or a meeting with an agent. However, I have been on several different sites reading about Barbizon complaints and it does seem as if a single Barbizon representative is replying to most all of the negative complaints online, as the grammar and linguistic style seems eerily similar in all of them. They may not be a "scam" as they do offer services for money, but it seems there are a lot of disgruntled people out there. If it quacks like a duck...

      I went to Barbizon and loved it, my teacher was great. He actually is a school teacher who has done a whole lot of local work, I saw the ads! i feel better about myself and my parents love it because my grades have come up because of all the acting things I am learning they are helping with my studying.

    Barbizon Modeling School — Mislead

    My daughter was contacted by Tiffany. She wanted us to come in to do an interview on 11/14 to do a "little" Holiday modeling on the weekends. I asked her what fees would be involved and she said none. It was cheaper for them to hire local girls to do the work then to bring girls in from other cities. So we go for our 4:15 appt only to find out we will be there over 3 hours for some sales pitch and that 6 months of training will be needed first at a cost of $2200.00. The interview itself took less then 10 minutes. They said out of 400 girls only 80 would be selected but I will bet 400 girls got the same phone call we did that next night. After telling Tiffany that we had decided not to do it, that it was not what I was told on the phone, Tiffany got pushy. Once she figured out that I was not going to budge she disconnected the call. No good bye, see you later, nothing. She just hung up. Not very professional and right then I knew I had made the right choice.

      Resolved       Barbizon Modeling School — Terrible place

      All I am thinking is, when will someone put an end to barbizon and their scam? does anybody ever get their money back and who do you call when one become a victim by barbizon? Are they untouchable? are they bigger than the law? People like us need to know where to go for help. Consumers are always being ripped off and there seem to be no place to turn for help after the fact. I would like to know how to get my money back. I have visa receipt and rest paid in cash. I have the barbizons receipts.

        Resolved         Barbizon Modeling — UNPAID WAGES ETC.

        I have never been paid my sales commissions for enrolling people into their school. This company owes me over $1000.00. First they blamed it on accounting errors, then told me they couldn't pay me because my boss had stolen my sales and was no longer with the company. I was made to work about 60 hours a week with no overtime, no breaks, and was paid less than minimum wage for my time. The schedule was nothing like what I was told when I was hired. The cubicle I had to work in was in a filthy, dark room with stained carpet and little lighting that still worked. The employees referred to it as the animal pen. Other employees were constantly complaining about not getting paid, and it was just an overall horrible experience.
