A. The main thing to remember is that it is mainly a school. It's not a major agency. People call it a scam, but it isn't really a scam unless they are promising you modeling jobs, which no agency can do. They are a school that will teach you how to walk, speak in public, do your makeup, get some pictures taken, etc. It's fine if you want to learn these things and develop self-confidence, but it will not really help you become a model. No school can make you taller, thinner, have more prominent cheekbones or more beautiful. The big agencies are looking for potential, not perfection. Either you have the right look or you don't. If they like your look, they will hire a coach to work with you on poses, walking, etc if they think you need help… [cont.]

A. I do. It's an ok school. It wont get you far though. I was also found in the mall by them and an agency called John Casablanca. You get nothing but a burnt hole in your pocket.

A. i did barbizon and i payed $1500. it's worth it because you get your pictures at the end and you do a fashion show and you get makeup and they teach you the basics for real. it's not a scam but it is alot of money for a short lesson. i got more info off of the internet and youtube makeup videos than barbizon honestly. i met some cool girls but at the end, i gave it an okay. i dont think you should do it, because it's not worth it. it's not a scam but there's more that their keeping from you for being a top model. but you do some cool classes and it gave me the inspiration today to be a model. and sometimes this agency will invite you to a place to audition for them. don't believe what other people say, this is coming from my true mind from… [cont.]
