    This business was dishonest about who they are when they called to promote their services.They stated that they were Passport to discovery and I asked the lady specifically if they wee a part of Barbizon and she said no . I I explained to her that I did not want to have any more classes with Barbizon becuase my daughter had just finished classes with them and they were claiming that they would be getting her jobs. Once I signed up and seen that the first payment came out under Barbizon I started trying to reach out to them and there was no answer and messages were left and no call back for me to discuss cancellation with them. I never received a contract from them either. They did not contact me until I filed an investigation with my credit union and they have since sent over fraudulent documents. When the lady finally did call me back she was rude and she stated that I was not getting my money back. I am requesting my money back because they falsified who they were to get me to sign my daughter up.

    I really enjoyed my time while in Barbizon, I made new friends, along with gotten opportunities that I didn't think I'd get to to do. Learning things that are used from day to day were so fun, like we learned skincare and basic makeup. I would highly recommend Barbizon to anyone who is looking into it!
