My experience so far is amazing. The instructors are professional, kind, helpful, and inspiring. My artistic side is really coming alive! I love their program and I’m having and great time. I’m already getting references and calls at session 11. Things really do move fast if you take this seriously.

Totally got ripped off by this place. Asked for my money back before attending my first class as agreed. Close to 300 stolen by this Scam of a company. Dont trust a thing they say...And if any one from that company has some retracting statement for me... Good Luck

I advise not working with John Casablancas Modeling. Their contract only allows you the ability to back out after only three days of signing it. They set you up with your first class after three days of signing. You end up paying a lot of money even if you change your mind. The classes are with a million other people and it is not real preparation for this industry. Be very careful with this.

When I was 14, I was very shy but my #1 goal was always to be a model. My mom decided to finally let me submit to Agencies in the Colorado area. We met with 4 other companies before we decided to accept John Casablancas offer. I will never forget the day that Mark said he believed in me and my career. Everyone needs to understand the company is a school and an agency. Just like almost careers there is learning to do before one becomes a professional. I took 6 months of clases and loved every second of it. During the classes I grew my knowledge and self confidence. Fast forward 6 years I am still involved with the company and am very grateful for their staff. I have moved to New York in 2018 and am able to make a full career out of modeling for my self. I understand not everyone has the same success that I have worked for, but I do know every student betters them self in one way or another from their training program.

1 star . That is how bad I was swindled. They are a lucrative business that is more concerned about money than their clients success. Initially, we bought the package with unlimited photoshoots and had to wait almost a year after joining to finally get a photoshoot. Then finally, I had a photoshoot in January but when I received the CD, it was blank and had nothing on it. For 6 months I called around and no one helped me nor would anyone return my calls. We had paid A LOT for the photoshoot and yet no one could answer my questions of where my photos were. I am extremely disappointed as this was supposed to be my introduction to this industry and instead I got a company that was very disorganized and could not stick to anything they had initially told us. It was a huge let down for someone who was so excited about this opportunity. DO NOT go with agency! Find another one!

When I first started John Casablanca I was shy, scared to go out of my comfort but shay zaza with JC saw potential in me and worked with me to get registered, its my 3rd week of class and now I am having fun acting and modeling. Thank you John Casablancas, Im excited for this partnership. And look forward to working with the MTM agency.

I feel that I am being tricked but the online classes are amazing. I just feel like i will never go in person because of the pandemic. I just hope that I see the coaches and just to feel like its a safe place

John Casablancas in Denver has changed my life for the better! All the coaches are very professional and knowledgeable. The staff and people I have met are amazing. I have more confidence in myself as an actor and a person in general. Im now prepared for acting opportunities since I have received proper training. I cant wait to see what the future brings!

My daughter was in the school before Covid. We paid a lot of money to have unlimited photos done which we have not been able to use as are unable to get in contact with anyone from the business. The phone is no longer in service and I have emailed multiple times with no response. I would appreciate someone reaching out to me so they can fulfill the contract they made with us. Thanks Sonda S

When COVID hit I tried to pull my daughter in light of the global pandemic..no response and loging in have no information. Still charged me, i disputed they finally pull her but charge for 2 months she didnt attend. Online classes we did attend in March were inadequate. Scamming waste of money

Number is disconnected, Ive been trying to find a way to call and get refunded for pre paid classes for a week without success.Ive submitted a request for contact via their website and havent heard back.Next step is to despute charges.Update: after finally getting in contact with them they first promised a full refund due to COVID restrictions on attending in person classes.Today, after roughly 4 weeks of waiting for said refund I was told that I would get a refund of $35 on the $1700+ that I paid. So, they lied to me and stole my money for pre-paid-untaken classes.Zero stars and time for looking into legal options to despute the charges. NEVER DO BUSINESS WITH THEM.

JC has changed my life! I walked in with no experience but with a lot of ambition to learn. Please dont read the negative reviews! What people arent understanding is that no one is born a star! You have to invest in yourself and do the work. I am having a blast!

Took 4 classes got super sick couldnt take anymore was charged 2 more classes did not attend them but am being told I still owe money even though I paid for 6 classes but only attended 4

Amazing place. My children haven’t began yet and I’m already loving the place and the people. All these negative reviews must be of people who either did not get accepted and/or have had bad communication. Orrrr did not read their contract !!!I am having issues with my bank, and Mark has been amazing through it all. This company has rules that every worker need to abide by its not that they are trying to be mean. Mark is doing anything to help me get my babies started. I came here not prepared or aware of the total, and my total is for 2 kids😬 $$$So if I can’t get them in I’ll be super sad but I’d still like to thank them for explaining everything to me. And for seeing the best in my children (I am a proud mommy)I do recommend this place 100% don’t let the negative comments ruin it for you. Follow their social media and see how they are not a scam, they are legit!

Although I loved how Mark told me everything I wanted to hear (youre definitely marketable amazing potential) I was devastated when I figured out it was a scam. Luckily I hadnt signed with them yet, but I dont want anyone to go around thinking that this company is going to help their career. The costumer service could be better, and overall is NOT reliable as far as being successful goes. However, theyre amazing at knowing exactly what you want to hear. :(

I was looking for something new and exciting to do as I have been a Paralegal for over 20 years and wanted more. I attended an audition at the JC Center in Denver. Everyone was so nice and encouraging. I made it through the audition and was requested to come back and meet with the Director. I believe I have made one of the best choices in my life. This opportunity will take me down many roads in my future. The school has been fantastic and I just keep learning everyday. The instructors are amazing. They are at the top of their professions and it shows. It has been humbling to learn from them, all while having a blast. I have already grown as a person and I have not even been with them for 1 year. I cant wait to see what the future holds.

ITS A SCAM!!. Long story short i told MARK or whatever the guy who tells you about signing a contract with him is called. I decided not to go through with it after i knew it was a scam , they wanted us to make a decision on the spot that same day. They expect us to know right away if we want to pay the full amount or do it in payments. They give you no time to go home and think about it a little more after you just found out how everything runs 15-20 min ago , and that’s what they want , they don’t want you to overthink it and say no. When i said no he ripped up the paper in-front of us and told us to have a nice day. That is very unprofessional and that’s not how to handle a situation like that .

Hello! My name is Natalia and I have been attending John Casablancas for 10 weeks now, and it has been the best. It has helped me grow as a person and to come out of my shell. Every session I learn something new that I did not know about before and leave the center knowing something new after every session. I have learned how to walk on the runway, about auditions, commercials, vocabulary, camera, and more. The time that I have spent at John Casablancas has been the best. Not only am I learning new things each and every day, the instructors and staff at John Casablancas are super nice and helpful. Every time you walk in the atmosphere feels amazing, the ladies at the front desk are always warm and welcoming, also they always make sure to help you out and that youre prepared. Instructors know their stuff and do an excellent job at teaching us what to do better and what to improve on. Going to John Casablancas is my favorite part of my day and I am always looking forward to attending the next class. If you are looking for a place to learn about modeling and acting career, then if I was you I would choose John Casablancas.

100% Complete scam!!! They are ONLY a school. I fell for it and wasted a lot of money believing what they told me. They play on your hopes and dreams and give you nothing in return. Please don’t make the same mistake. They are great at telling you what you want to hear. I lost well over $1000 and they never did anything to help book me any jobs or casting opportunities. In the beginning they split you up into three groups, each group is taken to a private area and told that out of the three groups, the group that you’re in is the only group that is getting signed and given a modeling contract. Then they ask you to please keep it to yourself and not say anything to anybody else from the other groups as you believe because it would hurt their feelings to know that they didn’t make it in and you did. When in actuality each group is told the exact same thing (at this time they are running your credit to see if you can afford to pay them tuition for the school. If they see they can’t finance you then you are not worth their time and you get “cut”. On the flip side if they don’t con enough people into enrolling in their school they will try calling the “cut” people to see if they can get any money from you) they sign as many people as they can on the spot and then invite you back multiple times wasting a lot of your time trying to sell you a modeling contract that is not actually a modeling contract it’s just enrollment into a school that has absolutely no accreditation whatsoever. It’s a high-pressure sale ( I wouldn’t be surprised if these guys worked as car sales men before this scam) PLEASE DO NOT fall for this SCAM!!!!! If a real authentic modeling agency wanted to sign you it would cost you nothing**** it’s too bad they don’t give you an opportunity to respond to “the owners” response to your honest feed back. Please take the time to read how unprofessional the responses are. ****

My first impression of this place was outstanding and I loved the vibe and staff there. After some time, I did come to feel that there were some significant communication issues between the director and I. I posted an honest review including my thoughts and frustration. After submitting the review, he reached out to me and we later spoke in person. After a good discussion with Mark, I felt much relief and understanding (me of him and him of I). I still feel that his tone of voice CAN be intimidating, but he reassured me that he means no negative mark or offense, whatsoever. I truly appreciate that Mark and I were able to clear the confusion and tension through open and honest communication. Communication and respect is huge to me and I am grateful that Mark and I worked through this professionally.All in all - YES, I would recommend this training center.

A member of my household made an attempt at their life roughly a half an hour before my call back and clearly that was what I needed to focus on and calling what I had found out was a scam company was not the first thing on my mind. When they called me they were very rude, but I tried to be polite and explain that I had a family emergency, and nothing changed. They were not at all understanding. Fair enough. But if youre going to scam me into paying tons of money, Id appreciate a little feighned sympathy.

2018 I was chosen to join the agency, after starting my first 2 sessions my then 2 year old was in a near fatal accident. I followed the fine print of submitting my written letter of resignation with John Casablancas. I never requested a refund for any money I paid to them, however I get a collection call saying I owe for tuition John Casablancas collected for me. No respecting agency will scam you even after following their exiting instructions. I should have took heed to the negative reviews I read before enrolling in John Casablancas. They are scammers and truly good at getting away with them.

DO NOT PAY ATTENTION TO THE BAD REVIEWS! I LOVE John Casablancas! I have learned so much and the instructors are very experienced and excellent at what they do. Whenever I am at John Casablancas, all I feel are positive vibes and i feel like this opportunity is once in a lifetime. I am so excited to see where it takes me! Thank you!

I keep getting texts and calls from a number in north carolina saying its you. Whats happening?

JC has been a wonderful experience for my granddaughter! She has learned so much in such a short time. The coaching has been priceless!The entire staff is super friendly and welcoming. I appreciate all they have done for our family.

They are absolutely amazing. The fact that they offer affordable classes really got my attention. The people are so kind and genuinely care about each individuals success. They Are one of a kind and they are not money hungry like most agencies

Laughably bad company - bad customer service, beyond rude, unprofessional, and really just childish. Every bad review on here is completely accurate. I canceled my audition after they would not give me straight answers about where they got my information, what the company is about (school? Agency? Will you be asking me for money?), and what to expect next. The moment I sounded hesitant, their tone flipped into threatening and childish. I have screenshotted the inappropriate and childish text messages to share. Their last line to me was Best of luck as it seems you will need it!

Entirely too much money for what it provides. That is to say, its essentially taking the same 3 hour class 16 times with two of those classes being photoshoots that they ask for an additional $60 per shoot. If you are really looking to get into modeling/acting you would have a better chance of getting yourself noticed on social media.

I am currently enrolled at John Casablancas and my time with them has been well spent. I have learned so much from their approachable and helpful talent coaches. The agency director has also provided me with advice for starting my career in acting. The environment is engaging and there is never a dull moment. I know so much more about the industry of show business/modeling than I did before becoming a part of the JC family. I am thankful for all the help they have given me and I will always be satisfied with my decision to work with them.

I had an audition at J.C MY name is Mike .I was told I did awesome. We did a little photo shoot to get me excited and would feed me positive comments. They told me to come back for a second audition... It was in The middle of the work week at a time where I couldnt do it. I told them I had to work. They basically said tough... We dont reschedule.I said well they said I did really well in my audition doesnt that mean anything. They said no. And I basically cant come.e back. And even if I did I would need to pay them for acting classes. Totally feed you good vibes to build you up and take your 💰

GREAT PLACE! I honestly dont understand the negative reviews. John Casablancas has been a wonderful and positive experience for my child. I know from my business experiences people like to post negative comments when they choose to stop or never pay their bill and thats a shame. Parents....please dont pay too much attention to some negative comments. My child has come out of her shell and has much more confidence since coming to John Casablancas.

This is Natalia and so far I have done 10 sessions. At first I was a little skeptical about it because of the prices. As it went on I saw that it was a great price because of what you are offered and what you learn. I have learned many things including runway, makeup, acting and so on. You get to work with an amazing photographer and get comp cards and a cd with your photos with a way better price then you would anywhere else. And the photos are great as well. The atmosphere is great, the instructors teach you a lot and you have a chance to meet amazing new people and friends. I do not regret joining and attending John Casablanca and I highly recommend joining!!!

My granddaughter and I had a well learned lesson on the first audition for the school.!! They got her hopes up by saying that they pay all expenses. They even said Scouts are at the audition and we really saw none. She walked the runway, got her digital pictures taken. Fun stuff. This is however a school for learning about ones limits and ones self awareness. She did get a call back but after reading So Many reviews we have decided to enroll in a School of Performing Arts. This will give her a Brodder spectrum of all things entertainment. My granddaughter writes lyrics, has a need to learn piano and fine tune her singing. I will spend a little more money as I am understanding by reviews they ask for $2000.00 . It is a private school!!. Nothing is for free.!You choose. Thanks for the memories.

AWFUL. Do not fall for this garbage. The will contact you over and over and over trying to get you to come in for an audition. Well my sister had gone through this before they started contacted me repeatedly, so I asked her about her experience with them. She said they were terrible to her and charged her $2000 for classes in which they taught her nothing. Not to mention, they are RUDE as all hell. Very snobby and I considerate. They went as far as to text me rude messages because I chose to cancel my audition after talking to my sister. This place is an absolute joke and scam. They just want money from hopeful people aspiring to be models. Dont give into it.

Received a phone call from John Casablancas a week ago today, asking me to come in for an audition at their Acting/Modeling center. I went. Little did I know Director Mark E. was going to single me out in the audition about how my pants were not worn properly. I was later “Cut” that night. Pretty sure I am the ONLY one that got cut. But I somehow recieved a phone call the day after the audition, Mark asked me to come in and further my Acting/Modeling Career. So I went, like any 20 year old would do. Too bad I didn’t realize it was pure manipulation. I did not have the right amount of money to pay for the “package deal”, Mark said I could split the payment in half and bring the rest of the money on my first day of class and if I didn’t like the class that I could terminate payments and walk away the first day I start which was suppose to be 5/02/2018. Then continue to make weekly payments after that. I took a few days after I signed and thought about it. I didn’t feel right about the situation so I gave Mark a call too bad the contract I signed has a 3 year release date and I have to pay. It’s sad because he clearly took advantage of me. I’m a 20 year old that is trying to go somewhere in the industry, and John Casablancas has obviously been doing this “Scam” thing for years. If they have been around for 41 years of course they found out a somewhat professional way to do it. So sad. Not to mention Director Mark said he voice recorded every session with his clients... So I would LOVE to hear that recording :). If you wanna give this place your time and money suit ya self.. I just feel bad for all the young families that were in there that probably ended up paying and have no idea.

Ive always have the best time going into John Casablancas Denver. The office is wired with enthusiastic energy as everyone is trying their hardest to learn, grow, and become something more. I would recommend anyone of any age to check out John Casablancas Denver, you will not regret it!

This is Karina Rodriguez and honestly it has been the best experience lately I have learned how to upgrade my makeup skills, runway walks, C turn etc. but I have seen these reviews and it is all a lie it just depends on how you take on your career not how they take find things. They help you with spots but it’s all in your attitude and the way you want to learn from it. For my experience it has been going great I am in session 10 and going up, my classes are great the teachers here are incredible they teach me something new and help to improve my movements, ramp skills, poses in pictures. Another thing that I am greatful is they helped me go to different types of clothing hair styles. So thank you John Casablancas for such a great experience in my modeling/acting career.

My son attended classes here a few years ago. It all went well until the end when the woman teaching the class told me hed never make if he doesnt learn how to read. She wouldnt let him move on because of this. I explained that hes dyslexic and 7 years old....that didnt matter. Apparently a 7 year old boy with learning disabilities cant act, or they sucked me dry and never intended for him to finish.

I am a recent graduate from here. I enjoy everything so much the workshops are totally worth going to. When I signed up I was skeptical at first but now I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to start into the industry. Even if you are shy they help you bring you out of your shell to be more comfortable with yourself and even being in front of people. They did for me and now im comfortable with public speaking and im not so shy and can now stand up for myself as well. The instructors know exactly what they are talking about and have been through many experiences themselves to help you. The Staff are polite and greet me everytime I come in. Plus after you graduate you can always come back and review things or start over and more experience with them.They explain how to walk the runway, prepare for auditions, create a resume, pose for a camera. Everyone thats says bad things about this place dosnt know how to continue in the industry you have to work for it to. John Casablancas Denver, is the best place to start getting into the industry. I love this place its great.

I got a text telling me to call and schedule an audition. I waited on hold for almost 30 minutes just to talk to mark for less than 5. I was told “we don’t work with people like you.” Then hung up on me. From all the reviews there has been many complaints about Mark. I think you guys should talk to mark and try to work this out with him. I would like if you guys did not reply to this. Also the reason people are going under fake names and writing reviews is not because they are fake. Sometimes they are scared to be humiliated, and made out to be a horrible liar. I went under a fake name for the exact same reason. I’m sorry to say but I was treated rudely and I do not let that slide by. I was patient and was nice, but in return I was treated very rudely. The tone of voice I was talked to in was not acceptable. And if Mark is reading this. I’d like to say, there are many complaints about you, maybe something needs to happen.

If youre looking to become a model this is not the place, Ive done tons and tons of research on modeling and they contacted me for an audition I had done my research on this place and I did end up going because I was hoping for a practice audition so I went into it 100% knowing I would not be signing with them I also knew this was a school and not an agency, they are probably a good acting school but if you are only interested in modeling I would suggest anywhere else, modeling school is a waste of time according to many many agencies because your agency manager will actually teach you and help you with everything you would learn at a school, a lot of the things they said were very false in sense of no one will take you unless you go to a modeling school that is not true one but, they also said photoshoots were $6,00-7,000 when 20 minutes earlier they said they are about $500, this school is only interested in those who wish to be actors, all the girls who were only interested in modeling were turned away and the only way they would sign anyone was if they had a SAG card which is for actors (not sure why a model needs one of those???) This is also very overpriced for something you dont need and yes you will make money while in this school but John Casablancas will take 80% of the pay (not sure why they made that sound so awesome for the audience) bottom line do as much research as you can, not just on this school but the career you are interested in as well, I am with an agency that fully agrees that this school is not worth the time so please keep in mind if modeling is your goal this is not a recommended place to achieve that.

Smarmy and smells of scam. Really rude and catty people. I gave a family member a ride to an audition, if thats what we are calling it. The idea that was pitched was that someone would read a script, apparently. That didnt happen at all but people were supposed to walk a fashion runway instead and one particular staff person was becoming obnoxious with her rudeness toward their guests.

If you want to take the next step towards your modeling and acting career, this is a good place to start. While it is not cheap, it is definitely worth it. The course will give you invaluable tools for succeeding in the business, plus afterwards, you can get signed to their MTM agency.

I came into this place with no confidence in the beginning now at the end it has really helped my confidence i made some friends did what I love I would recommend John casbalcncas for any body who wants to get their foot in the door and loves modeling and acting

Fantastic! My daughter and I went to John Casablancas recently and had a great time. Everyone was so friendly and welcoming from the moment we stepped through the door. I recommend John Casablancas very highly.

A VERY positive experience. Im an educated, middle-aged man with an outstanding career who is delving into acting as a hobby with possible hopes of it becoming either the other half of a dual career, or even a replacement of my existing career sometime in the future. The instructors at Denver JC location have been great, a lot of fun, super helpful/responsive and genuinely interested in helping me develop my abilities and find acting opportunities...and why wouldnt they? They get paid more money when we find work for me, so theyre naturally inclined to do so/thats how it works. There is simply no way I could have shown up to an audition without any prior knowledge of how they work and expect to ever be successful. Their course provides this knowledge, along with a lot of other related training, all geared to helping you be successful...photographs, monologues, slates, make up, improv, runway, terms, direction, etc.

I had to cancel an audition giving them 3 days notice and they texted back being rude and childish complaining as to why I accepted the audition. Life happens, there is no need for an outburst of childish threats over an audition.

This program really helped me advance my skills and confidence. Ive been acting since I was 9 and I learned so much from the entire staff. JC really cares about making you a better model and actor and wants to see you succeed. I feel prepared for a future life and career in this business.

Absolutely unprofessional costumer service, I wasnt paid by someone to write this either. I had to cancel my appointment, then I got a call saying it was very inconvenient of you. Youre rude, we dont work with people like you then they hung up on me. HORRIBLE COSTUMER SERVICE! UNPROFESSIONAL! LACK OF EXPERIENCE! I highly advice you to look away from John Casablancas, unless you like derogatory remarks and poor communication. 👎🏽 great job.....NOT

No words can express how angry I am with the Denver Rep. He texted me saying there was an audition opportunity, so I called him. Everything on the phone at that point was fine. But this morning I decided to read up on the website again just to be sure this company was who they say they were and I then texted him saying that I couldnt pay for the classes the offer.This guy, Mark, then proceeded to ask my what my training was since I said I did not want to pay for the classes. I told him I had no professional training but I did know what I was doing. Im not the best but I understand the mechanics of everything. He then said There is NO WAY you can ever get a career then, it says here youre 19? Just graduated high school. Youre in your first semester of college. You need the training. You will never make it anywhere in this industry You need this. You need that. While I understand that, I am extremely broke and cannot affords classes. He was being extremely rude overall and I would not recommend this place to ANYONE. I sincerely hope you get better reps. They hold the name of your company and he just ruined it for me.

When I signed on to MTM training in the spring of 16, little did I know the extent of the life changing experience I was about to discover. This is truly the greatest thing Ive ever done for myself! I found things buried inside of me I never knew existed. Ive always had a positive and out going personality but little did I know that my persona existed just at the surface level. The training, but mostly the instructors, through patience and tough training skills, allowed me to plumb the depths of my personality, talents and confidence I never knew existed. This has resulted in more joy and satisfaction in the interactions with others and a brighter outlook in all of the events and activities around me. What I find amazing is how people around me, even in casual contact, can see something in me that no one has ever seen before. I know this because I can see how people respond to me. Its a wonderful feeling feeling the change that has been evolving in me for the past two years. And I credit the MTM experience for all of this plus I give thanks to the Lord for placing me in just the right place and moment to find the opportunity of self discovery and finding talents here-to-fore unknown to me. A profoundly life changing time has been afforded me by a wonderfully transforming experience. Thanks to you all at the MTM Denver staff - and students alike - something I will carry with me, happily, for the rest of my life.Once again, this journey of self discovery has been one the greatest things Ive ever done for myself.

Worst experience ever! Denver location is advertising that they are licensed by the Colorado State Board of Education which is not true. I called to the state and they verified that.The owner of the facility is Mark Ewing is the rudest person I have ever seen in my life and not professional.

What a HORRIBLE company I just attended a meeting with them and not only did they throw racist under tones at me but they tried to explain how everythings free and then I have to pay for it all. Also the very rude director tried to explain to me how I have to give them 80 percent of everything I earn. Theyre very rude an unprofessional for a company Im so happy I turned down this opportunity to work with them try nxtlmodel instead, they have been such a better company and they understand the industry better.

John Casablancas has made me the person i am today! It gave me confidence to believe in myself. I got to meet a ton of new people and my coaches were very patient with me while i was learning. The Director Mark is a great person who listened to ALL my questions and was very nice and helpful. He really cares about all the students. JC opened many doors for me and I know that will continue . Thnx JC... I appreciate every thing you have done for me!

Guys please please do not go to John Casablancas.Mark asked me to take the one star review off SO IM VERY SURE HES THE ONE WHOS MAKING THOSE FAKE REVIEWS HE WANTS TO COVER THE REALITY. I want to benefit others who doesnt know anything about this place as I was so that way you dont waste your money and time as I did.Ive attended 15 classes I was great student Ive never missed any classes. Mark told me that I will get a job by session 8 at the first day when I registered for classes. But I didnt get anything Ive made it almost to graduation. I spent a lot of money. Plus I didnt learn a lot. I learned some runway movements and very very little about acting.Nothing was worth the money and the time. When I figured its a scam because of what I already heard but I just wasnt sure but then I decided to quit but it was late so it didnt really help after spending almost $2000 and after few days Mark called me to see whats going on, he asked to delete my one star review and to come back to make the rest of the payments. when I told him that I quit because you said that Im gonna get a job by session 8 but I didnt get anything. He literally said well the job wont come to you and you have to apply for it and he was like you have to ask and bla bla bla and I said what? So dont you know why was I going to this school for? When we already talked about that and everything at the first day that I registered and he made everything clear to me that Ill be getting it by session 8 and he never mentioned anything about that I have to apply he just said that I will get a job by session 8. And after trying with me to come back I was disappointed so I said no Im not I quit he got mad and hung up on me he was very rude. THEY JUST WANT MONEY! ! ! DO NOT BELIEVE ANYTHING THEY SAY!!!!

IF I COULD RATE THIS PLACE AS A ZERO I WOULD!!!LITERALLY DO YOUR RESEARCH PRIOR TO ANY ARRANGEMENTS ARE MADE! ITS A TOTALL SCAM NO MODELING/ACTING AGENCY WILL CHARGE YOU $2,450!! LOL$2,450 TO TRAIN YOU ON SOME CLASSES THEN TWO OF THOSE CLASSES ARE $60 LOL LITERALLY THIS IS CRAZY. SCAM SCAM SCAM!!!DO YOUR RESEARCH!!!!!!

When I read the reviews about jc I thought people were lying so I decided to attend and see how everything goes but now I know those people who rated jc bad are honest I saw everything in my eyes theyre totally liers I guess fake people are making the good reviews about jc (( Be SMART AND dont waste your money))!!

I go here for modeling and I am just about to Graduate! People who say its a scam because they are a school are wrong, they tell you during your audition that it is not an agency. But after you graduate you have another audition for MTM. The people here are so nice and the agent here is awesome and hilarious. So people dissing this place because they had one bad experience need to be quite.Edit: if I could give it zero stars I would. The only audition offer you get after you join MTM is for Expo and that costs 4,000 dollars no joke. MTM is a complete scam that took all of our money. Technically Im still apart of it but my agent hasnt contacted me in years after I tried reaching out to him. John Casablancas tho is great it really helped boost my confidence.

Started out as a great agency. But went down hill immediately after signing.Only real gigs they have offered to those who sign a contract is for the expo (which costs alot, not including boarding, food, or flights).an is literally the only time they seem to contact you. A year after being signed i would call an try to come in to keep up to date with them but they eventually stopped returning calls an changed their contact information. They have even lost my contract an the head shoots i paid a pretty peny for that they required. Directors kept getting changed or fired, so it was hard to even contact anyone! When i finally gave up trying to call anyone i went to the head quartiers am they magically changed buildings.. go figure.Even thought they lost my contract an it ended awhile ago because i signed back in 2012, they are STILL only contacting me for these over priced expos. Youd honestly be better off somewhere else or on your own, which isnt always smart if you dont have any knowledge about the industry an how it works.

At the end of the day they lie saying their an agency but their a school!!! If you come walking into a real agency with a certificate saying you can model they will just laugh at you! I know this because Ive been modeling now for a few agencies that I did not have to pay for it because people that truly want to work with you PAY YOU! Not the other way around!!! And I did pay what was owed and have letters proving it but later I started getting letters saying I owed more money! I have proof their a scam agency I mean school PLEASE STAY AWAY!!!!!

They are fake and just want to take your money. They say if you get rated a A form them they will pay for every thing. But they didnt do that for me. They want to charge you about $3,750 for just 2 to 3 years of classes. They are a scam and they are a school not a agency. So dont go to them if you want to get into modeling

It’s really expensive

Great place to start out your modeling and acting career

John casablanca is a scam and liar! My daughter went in here not even 2 times of studying and she started get bore with this! They didnt do anything in 3 hours long per each time class! They said free photographs, make up hairdo , but when you register they asked the fee of 2000$ but until you signed up the cost in paperwork showed 2370$ and i asked 400$ extra for what ? For deposit but in the paperwork never mention about refundable.. if you joined once, you ve been scammed and never get refund back on anythig! You lose all! I should suggestion FBI should investigate about this scammer ! So innocently people wont get scam by this liers! They received my handwriting by my certified mail but finally Mark said he didnt received it! They didnt respond you back ! Thats not right! Thats not a representative of a professional called training center! All they care is rip off money first by your checking account or debit cards info beside od that you lost all your money!

Scam #1)I contacted John Casablancas since I have modeling experience from my time in Georgia and wanted to have some work here. They said I should come in for an audition and I asked if I could bring my daughter, as well. They said they love to audition all children, as well. My daughter and I auditioned and we were chosen among a few others. I was to sign on with MTM and she was to attend their school. I have owned a small boutique talent agency in Georgia, so I do have experience with the industry. I explained that I am in a divorce and until it is final, I needed to wait to enroll her. I was told that her look might not be in demand in six months. I knew this wasnt true since six months would make no difference at-all, but since my daughter was so excited and I knew she would enjoy the class, I said that if they could work it out for her to start in the Fall, Id do it. I was told by Director Mark Ewing that if I would pay a down payment (based off one of their financing plans), he would ask her attend one class and pay for that one class, and then she could go on vacation until September in order to accommodate our needs . This was HIS and JCs solution, not my offer!I signed her on and after she attended the first class, according to our agreement, I had not planned to bring her back NOR MAKE PAYMENTS until September as proposed by Mark Ewing.I called the first Saturday my daughter was not to return to remind the front desk that she would not be attending again until September. Mark Ewing knows this. I also talked to him and said that I wanted her to get in on the first class in September, as well so she could meet all the other models since this is all about making friends.He said hed work that out, too. The first Sat. she didnt return, AFTER I called that VERY SAME MORNING to remind them she wouldnt be there, they called me again in the afternoon to say that she missed her class as if they had never heard from me. I again, reminded them of the agreement with Mark Ewing. The next week, the same thing happened. The school called to say she missed her class, again. I asked for Mark to call me back and he did not. I also asked in that call about when I was supposed to meet with Merle to sign on with MTM. I called again and finally left a voice mail letting them know if we couldnt get this straight, Id call corporate so they could help them get it straight. Then, Mark did finally call me. He said he had not heard any messages from me. I had left him at least one on his voice mail and the others were with his staff. On the telephone, he asked me to refresh his memory, as if he had no recollection of our arrangement. I recapped our deal, and then he said, BUT you still have to pay every week whether she comes to class or not.The arrangment/agreement was JCs offer to ME. I was more than happy to pay the down payment and have her attend the ONE class as he said and then wait until September.Guess what? When I told him that was BS, within thirty minutes I received an email inviting me to come and talk about my signing on with MTM.Scam #2)My attorney addressed this issue for me and Casablancas acknowledged all that I claimed and then sent me a bill for approximately $7 which had a signature line. The statement had language which would have committed me to further billing. I chose to ignore the statement as I believed it was a contract.Its a good thing I did. I used the first letter from Casablancas acknowledging wrong-doing and had my attorney send one more letter and thank goodness, I did receive a final letter from Casablancas stating all fees had been waived and I did not owe a balance.If you receive a statement with a signature line, read the fine print.

I have had no professional expierience at all but i needed none for them to work with me. Great people, Great atmosphere, Great times. Thankyou for this chance!

I understand it is a school, not an agency. I did want to know if they helped you find auditions after your done with classes?

100% a scam. Dont waste your time. I would sit here and write my experience but im not going to. PLEASE dont pay them, agencies dont ask for money. Take my advice as you will.

Currently I am going into my 20th week at JC, I have completed all of my classes and will be graduation shortly. Ever since I have started with JC I have learned so much and my confidence has grown. Every week I look forward to going to class and seeing what new things I can learn. All of the teachers make the classes fun and entertaining while learning. JC is a fantastic fun place I strongly encourage more and more to go!

BEST PLACE EVER! LOVE IT HERE!

John Casablancas itself is an amazing training opportunity. However MARK the director in Denver is very disrespectful to the models and their families.

They are a total scam made me pay 700 upfront and then told me there was no classes for me to take for three weeks three weeks here I get a call from the director saying why I missed so much school after they just got done telling me there was no classes to take now I’m $700 in fees for all the classes I missed after they got done tell me there was no classes to take so they just decide to with drawl me and keep the 700 I already paid upfront so mark e and his staff made me miss classes on purpose to raise my fines to the point I couldn’t pay anymore so they can just withdrawal me and they kept the 700 I already paid they just want your money once you sign they don’t care what happens they y’all a good game to get you to sign once you sign they don’t care what happens now I’m 700 short and I tried to get a refund and they said they couldn’t anymore

This place is a complete scam! They are just a school trying to take your money, they wont let you sign with them unless you have professional experience.

I really dontt heat this but it is too much to do

This place is a total scam!

A complete waste of time and money

If I could put 0 stars I would!!

This place is a joke and the director is a liar

Very well the best of other organizations
