Pros
I don't have any pros for this company; they essentially steal people's money
Cons
Barbizon is really what I would call....a scam agency. They get all of these girls--some who you can clearly tell: 1) Don't want to be in modeling/acting 2) They most likely won't be an actor or model (if you're being honest)--and their parents to pay money. I watched a girl almost get pulled out of her 3rd or 4th class class because her mom couldn't pay $10 the same day. Ridiculous. They hire instructors 1-2 weeks before classes start and expect us to teach these girls industry standards?! We haven't even been in the industry. If you want your kid to make it--find them an agent (a legit agent who doesn't take money upfront). For most of the classes, they don't have correct materials to teach based on the book and the girls miss out. The only thing I miss about this job is interacting with the young girls/women that came, but I could not stay knowing that Barbizon was not providing them anything as far as making it in the modeling/acting world. And 1 weekend a month---the kids forget everything by the next month; it's just absurd how they run this. Do your research, you'll see what top agencies say about places like Barbizon.
