I love Barbizon! Glad to see they're on Yelp at the World Headquarters now!…read more Barbizon is a reputable modeling and acting company that has been around 75+ years. I recently heard they are now the World's largest modeling and acting company, with their placement of models spanning internationally. That's pretty cool. When I traveled out to NYC I found their original location from 1939 off 5th Ave. is now a NYC Historic Landmark! So Idk what that one negative reviewer was talking about. I guess there are just negative people everywhere and unfortunately the negative spirits are the ones quickest to review and spread their hate like that lady. Anyway, my little sister goes to Barbizon now over there at their World Headquarters every month... and yeah it's located on the second floor of an office building that has a Wells Fargo on the first floor... But they certainly aren't closed. My Grandmother was a Barbizon girl years ago and modeled in the newspapers and for local businesses (she will proudly still show those pictures!) my Mother was a Barbizon girl, and I too am a Barbizon lady, I modeled runway and commercial print for seven fun years. Beyond he money I earned and the networks of friends and business relationships I built, I learned about myself in ways I could have never learned otherwise by taking their Finishing School. I learned things from the silly- makeup-artist trained makeup application techniques so you always are the girl with the perfect makeup, or photo movement- so you're always "that" girl that is photogenic in every photo, to the actual meat and potatoes that is the modeling and acting training we all want to provide us all the skills and industry know how that you need to land a job in this super competitive industry. What I've found to be most beneficial from Barbizon overall in my life was the personal development aspects. I learned that what Mom and Dad were telling me all the time at home was true: I am beautiful, I am intelligent, I am worthy, I am special. I can do anything I set my mind to. But sometimes that's just a parent's job to say those things. Barbizon is really great about mirroring what parents say at home to the girls and helping them believe in themselves ... And now my sis is a Barbizon girl and hearing her tell me all about what she's doing is so fun, and seeing the changes in her personally is just awesome. I highly recommend Barbizon to any family with daughters. Every girl should go through an experience like Barbizon. Improving self-esteem, self-confidence, and learning how to navigate the world as a professional, confident woman. Nothing negative can come from gaining more confidence, and Barbizon is the best tool I've ever seen and experienced to help garner more overall confidence. Can't say enough about this place! Keep it up another 75+ years Barbizon!

Barbazon Is A Preditory Scam…read more The Truth About Barbizon's Passport to Discovery - Hidden Costs, Misleading Promises, and Cost. As a mother, I want to be fully transparent about our experience with Barbizon's Passport to Discovery Competition in Orlando. What they present as a prestigious opportunity for kids to break into the modeling or entertainment industry is really just a cleverly marketed, extremely expensive competition with very little real industry value. My daughter is also a dancer and when JAMI from Barbizon offered my daughter the opportunity to be seen by talent professionals we jumped at the chance. The gimmick is that she contacts the dance studios to get the dancers contact information, which I'm sure they get a kick back on. Child's participation cost: $4,225 Parent cost to attend with minor child: $2,225 Travel expenses: $800-$1,200 (not included in the program price) Additional competitions: $175 each Meal costs at Disney: Buffet meals are $30 per person, drinks are $5--multiply that by 2 people, 3 times a day, for 5 days = $1,050 in food costs alone So before your child even competes, you're already looking at a $7,000 investment. What makes it worse? You're told the parent fee is your share of the room and event access, yet they place another minor--who also paid over $4,000--into your hotel room. This child is completely unchaperoned. You're told you're not responsible for them, but Disney requires a credit card from every adult for room incidentals--so if that child damages anything, you're financially liable. And if you don't want to be put in that situation? You can "upgrade" to a private suite for an extra $1,700. If life throws you a curveball and your child can't attend, you won't get a refund. Instead, Barbizon will charge you an extra $400 "rollover fee" to push your registration to the following year--with no real explanation other than "Disney requires it." Lie And while they say they help kids get jobs, they don't. The only real "opportunities" offered are expensive competitions, not actual industry placements. Worse yet, every person you speak to is essentially a salesperson, making money by upselling you. Every interaction is designed to push another payment deadline, another "upgrade," another added fee. Bottom line: This is not a career launchpad. It's a high-pressure, overpriced competition that preys on kids' dreams and parents' hopes. There was NO one there to sign any dancers and very few "so called" agents. BUYER BEWARE everyone is excepted to go. This competition left our family feeling misled, disappointed, and financially drained. Now she was "invited" to audition for another competition called BCOMP. They hold one in Atlanta, Dallas and Baltimore. This is a predatory SCAM!!!
