Ok, so we are new so I am giving my first impression. Which was good. As we continue with the program I'll update you as to whether the stats go up or down. Now to be fair I am cautious about this but this industry is my daughters number one dream. Therefore, I felt it best for her to learn about what she is saying she wants to do. I researched the school and business before we came and saw the data on the fact that this is a training program. When we came for the audition they were transparent on the program and the fact of no guarantees. Now of course they had a great sales pitch for which they should since they are a business. They answered all my questions honestly. Even if it was that they don't know. LOL. So here's the info you need to know to make a decision if you want to try it. Note: my child is only 3 classes in but so far so good so I want to give them a chance to be reviewed Accor my experience thus far. Atmosphere: very friendly. Music playing in the lobby is lit!! Yes I said lit. I want to break out in dance but I have to hold my cool. Hehe. The front desk, director, and staff are friendly also. Now, some more than others but that's a given. Cost: so if you know me I'm going to break it down to the detail. So here's the scoop. The classes run ~$17 per half hour. Reference, I did half hours because other art type Lessons, such as violin, piano, voice, are charged by 30 mins increments. So that was key for me personal as my other kids do those type lessons. Therefore, when you look at it like that the cost is reasonable. Now, beware they want that $17 per 30mins in advance for 30, 2 hour classes. Therefore, that total will give you a heart attack. LOL IJS. So before you call me a crazy mom. Go add up how much you are paying for your child to do sports, music lessons, etc. at the end of the day it all adds up. Whew. Our kids don't appreciate us enough. Ok, so what do you get for this $2000+ investment ? 30 classes and materials and/ or tools needed for subjects ranging in modeling, acting, self care, and self esteem subjects. Including learning about the Business aspect of these career paths. 3 initial photo session to begin your portfolio with unlimited retakes/additions for 3 years after you graduate from the certification program (30 classes) Membership into their agency: MTM Now, there are other things too but I can't do them enough justice so say until the next time. As I learn more I will share more!! Hope this is helpful!! read more

Scam ! They cheated us out of 1,100.00 dollars and we didn't get anything that we were suppose to .. Do not give them any money "none" No head shots , no structed classes , no professional training at all .. I'm very upset and extremely disappointed .. I'm a single mother and I didn't have 1100.00 dollars to just give to them for "nothing" .. Do not go to this center at all and I don't care what any other say .. I'm dealing with the attorney general and a lawyer for all of my money back .. No Stars read more

This is a great company. My only issue with them is that I feel before they have you audition they should tell how much it is and show payment plans so you can know if its affordable or not. I do not think they should wait until you're called back the second time to tell you $2150. when I explained I can bring money back in couple days because I just paid $1000 rent and my car note he was very nonchalant with a who cares attitude and responded,"i will call you". which I knew he wouldn't.Of course I knew this wasn't gonna be free and my finances aren't theirs so they don't have to care,but I just seen too much judgement in his face expression. I am not saying don't go with this company because they are great. This is just my experience. My daughter will be fine she's on drillteam and she sings,does talent shows ever month so she's not missing out. If she wants to try this company again she can in a couple years when she turn 18. THIS REVIEW IS FOR CINCINNATI,OHIO on REED HARTMAN 11353.This happened at 4pm MONDAY 7th of january. Do not know why it says san francisco,ca read more

If you are looking for employment in a modeling agency, do not go to John Casablancas! They are a total rip off! When i first started i was told that if i make commission, i could be making up to $1000 to $2000 EXTRA on my paycheck. Not the case! After making my first sale i was told that if my commission is greater than my paycheck then i would only get commission and not be payed for the hours i have put in. To me that is not right at all! Making commission should be a reward! I should get payed for my 30 hour weeks as well. It only takes 1 hour to make commission. When i went in to recieve my first check, not only was my paycheck short the amount i was suppose to recieve, but my commission was not added on. When i asked why, the director told me that she took my sale since i quit. Clearly i didnt quit. I was told to leave on saturday under the assumption that i was fired. The only reason i was fired was due to traffic which i was not given the chance to explain why i was late. I do not recommend this company for employment at all! read more
