Glamour Shots Licensing Bait and switch!

I am reporting this to the better business bureau. this franchise is clearly a bait and switch scam. I agreed to have my 3 children's picture taken yesterday December 16, 2007. during this time I was never given a price list nor was anyone helpful in assisting me in providing any further information on pricing until my sons' picture were taken and displayed to me for viewing. This is truly a bait and trap scam.

After my sons' picture was taken the young lady still did not show me a price list but instead wrote out prices and informed me it would cost me from $1200.00 to $2000.00 to get my pictures. Immediately I felt this company or franchise if you will is pulling a large scam in Staten Island and I expect to proceed to spread the word if this is not addressed immediately. I was not told of any holiday specials as I see on the current web site. Instead I was told the cheapest package I could get was 1-8 x 10, 2-5 x 7, and 1- wallet size sheet of pictures for $360 dollars. Unfortunately I felt trapped in this scam and I bought 1 package that cost me $363.00 which has now left me with no money to make a proper dinner for my children for Christmas.

I cannot believe I was not even give a choice to break pictures up for different prices! Another example of what appeared to be a scam to me was that I was also not told that any sheet I wanted to choose that had my 3 sons in it would start out as $60 per person in the sheet. In other words I was told that I had to pay $180 PLUS and special effects that provided within the photo. But I was not even given that price either for special photos! This site is run by young girls that do not have any information on their product. I will NEVER refer this place to anyone else again.

Disappointed.

OMG, I had exactly the same experience with Glamour Shoots. They want $99.95 for 1 e-photo meaning that you have to pay almost $5, 000 for 50 digital photos you like. You can buy a new SLR camera for this price... Unbelievable! Avoid at any cost!

This shameful business practice affects everybody. I am a professional photographer and never hide my price lists. My prints are extremely reasonable and my level of service is very high. It kills me to see studios advertise "90% off sitting fee" and then fling the client through a 30 minute session and only allow them to view their images in a closed room with a high pressure sales person. THAT's when the price list comes out and the bargain the poor client thought they were getting turns into a hi-jacking. When I see someone waver when viewing my prices and then tell me about the great prices they saw advertised as "brand x" I just cringe. I refuse to get down to the level of business who use that practice but will also not put myself on the receiving end of a libel suit. The only thing I can do, is watch them walk away, knowing full well I will see them in 6 months and the story I will get, is "we wish we had come to you"

I think the worst part is that my profession suffers for it. There are far too many amatures who are calling themselves pros giving a false expectation of what it really takes to be a quality photographer and those of us who have the years of schooling and experience to truely learn our craft are surrounded by carpetbaggers.

glamour shots, a store i thought would be a great one, better than picture people. i spent 4 hours at the store taking pictures, happily although i was really hungry after a while. the tension started once the lady started quoting the prices. my total came up to a grand $6075. stunned, shocked and horrified i was about to cry. glamour shots is a beautifully disguised scam that will lure you into their trap. first off they will try to wast as much time as possible in the name of their useless make up. second of all they will take a million pictures and most of them are useless poses. finally they will show you your pictures in the one and only computer monitor that they have in the store. finally i left that store in frustration of wasting my time on a beautiful Sunday. i would never recommend this store to anyone.

I went to Glamour Shots thinking that I was going to get a free Sheet and have my make-up done. Well, nothing was Glamour about my make up, I could have done it better, and the whole point of having Glamour shots is the touch up that they do, but that is not included. I was quoted $3000.00 for my pictures and I felt like I was dealing with a car dealer trying to sucker me out of Thousands of dollars..

I left this 678 Brandon Town Center Mall Glamour shots crying over the price and will NEVER EVER go to another Glamour Shots again, I will stick to Picture people.. I hope that Glamour shots closes..

Glamour shots tricks people into thinking they will get a decent price. then the sales person/makeup artist/ receptionist will read off some sheets and give you a price of 10 times that of what you where initially told.

Horrible experience. Already told people i know about my horrible experience.

Glamour Shots Licensing Tried to change packet!

I had some photos taken at one of the studios, Glamour Shots at Town Center in Kennesaw,Ga.as a present to my husband the original price was $189... and by adding a few touch ups..it ended at $3,300.00... and with a change of heart I phoned... the next day to get the basic package only, to no avail... from the local store to the regional manager... then headquarters... with lo luck!

I had asked for the 24hour period... allowed in most cases... his response was. The proofs go through the internet... and they are processed immediately". Their customer service did not reply to my letter, the Corporate office was closed... I phoned again the local store, several times till the manager [the one tacking the photos]... and her answer said..."you will not have to pay till Febr... 2008"... as a consolation!

I have already payed them, #154.00... but I am ready to forgo any pictures at this point.

Glamour Shots is a crooked company! Don't let them fool you, each store is individually owned/franchised. I strongly suggest doing your research before you even attempt to do business with them! Start by checking them out at www.bbb.org (Better Business Bureau). When you do, make sure you enter in all of their information i.e. full address, when searching. Otherwise, they may not come up as they DO NOT have a BBB Accreditation. RED FLAG!

GLAMOUR SHOTS IS THE MOST UNPROFESSIONAL, CORRUPT COMPANY I HAVE EVER DEALT WITH! I am so sorry I ever wasted my hard earned money as well as my time with them. Long story short, they are indeed a complete and utter rip off! The company has no regard for its customers. Once they have your money, they don't care if your satisfied with your purchase or not. GOOD LUCK trying to file any type of complaint if you're not satisfied because getting something done about your problem is like pulling teeth. I would strongly advise anyone who even considers going through this so called "company" to BEWARE and do all of your research before spending even a penny on their services. Also, I would strongly advise getting legal representation when dealing with Michelle from their customer service department [protected], so you do not get dicked around.

My mom just took me their for my B-day and it was suppose to be only 50 dollars per child and it ended up being 150 dollars per child and my mother is mad. I think we should get a group and sue them big time. And they also told my friends that they wouldn't do theire hair good... and 150 a person they should get their hair done perfectly for that price. And one of the guys were rude. I fell so bad for you...that is not right sue them becuase this is going to keep going on...my mom is also checking if what they do to the eye liner really works because if not she is sueing for that to. Well please get back to me.
Thanks,
Krissy

This review was chosen algorithmically as the most valued customer feedback.

I stopped into Glamour Shots to see what they offer. I was shown a portfolio of their work to include their "Glamour Touch" and other specialty products. I was very impressed by the Glamour Touch since my daughter has a scar that she is very self-conscious of on her forehead. The sales woman agreed that this would take care of the scar with no problem at...
