It’s a SCAM! I found out after I had paid so much money to them that an agency shouldn’t ask you for money! Especially the day after you’ve been told you made the cut! Everyone there is very nice and motivating. As a college student I could no longer afford the payments that had to be paid every class, so I withdrew only to find out they sent my name to collections for an unpaid balance. Smh
This place is not a scam at all. I went for the audition and did a photoshoot, read a script, and walked the runway. It was a really fun experience and the director was SO nice and funny. I went back the next day because I got excepted. The place is basically a stepping stone into the world of modeling and acting. You have you pay $2,000 for the classes or they can just submit you and see what happens for free. If you are really serious about modeling and have no experience and would like to pay the money then this is great. Although they do pay for all of your photo shoots when you take the classes. I hoped this helped !!!
My son had an audition for John Casablancas and asked if I wanted to go. Of course I wanted to because I support him in everything. I was amazed how friendly everyone was to us. I enjoyed the entire night and learned so much in just the short 2 hours we were there. Ms. Di was so entertaining while explaining everything so anyone could understand. She is able to capture your attention when she walks into the room, but when she speaks you will hang on every word. She is stunning, professional and really gives you a heartwarming feel.
JOHN CASABLANCAS IS A SCAM let me tell you how this works first you'll receive a text saying come to this audition you'll read a Pepsi commercial line then u walk this runway making you think your doing something bigg 2weeks later you'll get phone calls saying u have a face to face meeting with Tim. He'll go off trying his very best to sell you a fake DREAM saying you have the look your just in a shell and need his bootleg acting classes and u gotta pay a fee of 2,153 $ and you'll become a star lol I talked to an modeling agent and he said the whole thing in itself is a complete SCAM but hey you do have those like me who believed they could be the difference in all this will get u the same resultsAnd any good reviews you see on here are from the people that work there
At John CASABLANCAS 😩
After reading all the bad reviews on this place, I had to write a review to tell you all how untrue this stuff is. This agency is GREAT! You either get signed immediately after your audition depending on how well you did or you have to get a little training to help you, which yes it does cost but it's worth it. Whether you get signed at the end of your training courses is completely up to you and your performance, I truly believe these people are just upset because they did not have what it took. Don't let these reviews alone put bad thoughts in your head of John Casablancas.
I hate the fact that I became a victim to a SCAM It discouraged me from pursuing a career in the entertainment industry for a little while
I was excited when I got the call to audition and made the cut. We were never told it was a training center from the beginning and there was never talk about payments until the next date
I felt that this could be my chance but I didn't feel motivated to keep going, nor I saw progress, and I didn't feel like the money I paid was worth 2hrs of class
It was small, cramped, unprofessional, and uncomfortable.
I did my research after the fact about agencies and called around to one and the owner said you should not have to pay for training and if he's interested in working with you, then the training is FREE
The people I met (teachers, assistants, classmates were nice) were nice and respectful. That's my only positive experience from it.
I also got a BILL from a billing agency when the papers I SIGNED stated that I was entitled to some refund if I included it in my withdrawal, which I did.
I was a victim of a scam but it's not stopping me from pursuing my dreams.
I really enjoyed the atmosphere that they had their everyone was friendly and willing to work with me I was a B and I was not judge for having no experience they just saw potential in me
Furthest thing from a scam. This experience has been great for my daughters confidence and ability to pursuit acting and modeling. She will appear on a tv show already and she is not even finished. Thank you John Casablancas, our family supports you!
I love this class company, every day be there make me very happy, gray place and great teachers:))
I absolutely love being at John Casablancas! Before I started going to classes, I use to feel closed off and didn't have much confidence in my skin. The instructors truly care and are teaching you the best of the best and want to see you be happy and yourself. I am extremely great ful for everything they have done for my self confidence so far! You guys are the best!
My daughter time at John Casablancas was great. My daughter so beautiful and she love her instructors. I do anything for my daughter like any good father would and this help her follow her dreams. Thank you to staff and everybody who has anything to do with John Casablancas company.
I had an amazing time at my meeting with the Jcasablancas crew. The Staff are very Polite and courteous. They are always smiling at you, making sure you are ok. The Director of the center is a rare gem, she has an amazing sense of humor. She is a professional to the letter, please i would like to implore everyone who comes to write a review here. Do not make people look bad, if you did not pull through at your interview or audition. It does not mean you do not have potential, it simple means you should work on yourself, if given another opportunity you make a better presentation. If we are to judge by reviews, i probably would not have honored the invitation extended to me by them. I just moved to Georgia, i have years of experience in Film and Television as an actor. I have been searching for Agencies to work with. The John Casablancas Center, is one of the places i have been to so far, and can say they are quite professional and know what they are doing. In parting, i would like to advice everyone desiring to pursue a career in this industry, seat back and understand who you are first of all. Then decide what you want to do and figure out if you fit into it.There are many divisions /departments int this business. We must not all be in front of the camera, your strength or talent might be in discovering and making stars, know your strength, understand your unique selling point (USP) leverage on it an watch yourself excel. The John Casablancas Centre is a good training ground, for those who really know this is what they want to do.
This place started off alright, classmates were nice and some instructors were too, but what was not great was when I had to begin from class 3 when I never took class 1 and 2 and at the end of the course I had to retake those classes which almost made me not graduate. The classes were so unprofessional and I really didn't learn much for the amount of money my parents paid them each month. I was never guaranteed to get jobs. The photos came out so unprofessional and the price to get your photos were so unreasonable. It was definitely a waste of money and time. I definitely do NOT recommend john casablancas.
