If they want money say thanks but no thanks.Modeling agencies hire people for their looks,if they don’t have what they are looking for,they won’t hire.Modeling schools like Barbizon,J.D.Powers etc will bring "scouts" to groups saying they can train to get modeling jobs.It’s bull.Check on line about modeling school scams.The link below is just one of many.With my daughter=been there,done that.

If you’re interested in modeling, I’d see about going to someone legit like Elite Model Management. Even if you don’t get work through them, I’m sure they’ll lead you to other agencies that aren’t scams.

Sounds fishy.
"and your biggest supporters!"
No, on your first interview you don’t have "biggest supporters" You have people deciding whether they want you a part of they’re agency or not.

Gibberish. Have you ever even heard of that? And why do they need to bring up "big" names, if they were really that great they wouldn’t feel the need to do that- they’d have girls lined up.
"to review our success stories"
Scamscamscam
Success stories are also seen about diet pills, fake acne clearing pills & wrinkle removal scams
Hope this helps with future proof reading. =)
Just make sure to look out for stuff like that.
Because although it’d be awesome if they were the real deal- they’re most likely not.
Good luck with modeling though! =)

It’s for sure ok. I went to Barbizon and had an awesome time! Not all modeling is runway modeling..there are all sorts. I have done some print modeling since I went to Barbizon. It really helped me prepare. Don’t let other people keep you from going by saying its not real or people dont’ hire Barbizon grads…I am proof they do! You will love it, I promise!
Best of Luck! Have fun at Barbizon!
NO, NO, NO
Barbizon IS NOT an agency. They are nothing but a school that will charge you up to $3000 for classes. Everyone who goes will get a call the next day saying they were one of the few who were "chosen" no matter how short, fat or ugly they are. Dateline did a whole show about Barbizon recently – you and your parents need to read the transcript and watch the video clips on both pages before you even think about going to this

Don’t ever pay for modeling school if you want to model. If you are signed to a legitimate agency like Ford or Elite, they will hire coaches to work with you – and they pay for it, not you
My old agency NEVER signed anyone who went to modeling school. In fact we were told to throw out any applicants who even mentioned modeling school in their letters because our director thought schools taught cheesy poses and walks better suited to pageants than modeling and it was impossible to unteach these habits
No school in the world can make you taller, give you model proportions or make you more photogenic – which is all any agency is interested in
Save your time and money and apply directly to agencies like Elite, Ford, IMG, Women, Next, DNA, Wilhelmina, BMG, Click, Supreme, One, Trummp, Marilyn, etc if you want any chance of modeling.
