Saw an ad for a "open audition" at John Casablancas Modeling agency in Langhorne, PA. My wife called and spoke to Gail. My daughter is 8 YO, and wants to try modeling. After speaking to the agency, Gail assured us we should try it, plus you get 2 free photographs, even if you don't sign up. Sounded like a good deal. Audition started at 7:00, and they told us we would be out of there by 8:30. Pictures were taken in the first 30 muntes, but then the head of the agency, Maureen, went on with a 90 minute commercial on why you should sign with them. That was followed by another 90 minutes of one on one chats.
We were told to set up a follow up meeting where we could talk and pick up the pictures. We met 10 days leter, and believe or not, the pictures were "not ready". When we didn't sign up for the expensive classes, the mood turned and we were clearly not welcome. We called at least 10 times to get the pictures, and we were told today that company policy do not allow for the 39cent stamp, and that we would have to make the 2 hour round trip to pick them up.
STAY AWAY! This agency is a complete rip off, only interested in getting you and everyone else to sign up for classes.
