Best Talent Group NEVER stated to me they were a talent agency. They were very upfront regarding the Services and substantial Relationships that would help my Amateur Daughter who is just starting out. Anyone who thinks they will have a Real career in any Industry without investing in their Education of that given field is delusional. All Industries require training, marketing materials and access.My daughter was very shy until she studied with the Amazing Instructors and now her confidence has sky rocketed! The photographers she worked with were fantastic and she has booked several jobs since she finished her curriculum.If you think you can become a professional in any field without incurring expenses along the way you are not being honest. We live in America and all of us have beautiful children with talent. Now they must also be trained and marketed. Everything Best Talent told me and my daughter they backed it up. Very passionate group who cares was my familiesexperience.

BESTalent Group is an amazing place for new talent to discover themselves in ways they never thought possible. Gaining the experience and opportunities to walk in New York Fashion Week, LA Fashion Week, Milan Fashion Week and more. It is NOT a scam. Models and actors shoot with the best in the business, get the tools they need to work, and the understanding of how to use them. I would highly recommend BESTalent for anyone trying to break into the industry

BESTalent Group has definitely helped a lot of students who are wanting to pursue the entertainment industry. Whether you’re looking into modeling, acting, singing, dance, BESTalent Group connects you to wonderful teachers that can hone you in on your craft. They provide constructive criticism and give you reality checks every time: if the entertainment industry is something you want to pursue, you have to go for it. HARD. Despite classes being challenging and sometimes nervewrecking, it really helped that it improves self esteem and confidence. I’m glad that I started with BESTalent Group. They have been by far the greatest help compared to trying to work with different agencies.

I got to experience LAFW with BEST and it was INCREDIBLE. The staff is super helpful and truly cares about taking model careers to the next level. The people that leave bad reviews are confused about what the company does. They give amateurs a REAL shot in REAL shows they would take years to get in themselves. I networked with top models and designers, met celebrities, and got to walk in my first fashion show! So much fun.. I’m so grateful.

Any talent agency that ask you for money walk straight out of there and never look back. When me and daughter went they ask for few more than 1,000 dollars. Agencies gets cut from what you book, not straight out your pocket.

Basically all of the good review on here are probably faked and manipulated by the crooks that run Bestalent. Let me explain, they give you a free photo shoot in return of a good review and rating. They also stole 2,000+ from me and did not give me all that I was promised in the contract. Be careful because these people seem legit but are nothing but scammers that take advantage of the dreams of those who work hard to succeed and simply want to follow their dreams. So unless you want to waste your time with people that lie to you, do not go here.

Do not attend a Casting Call with The Best Talent Group. Its a scam!!! I dont want what happened to me and my family to happen to anyone else. Casting calls dont ask for money. They select you for your talent, and whether you are a fit or not. They dont make you pay. If you have to pay that means anyone, specially those who are never gonna make the cut in the industry can think they have a chance when reality is they never will.We signed up for a program with them and paid $7000. I had to get a loan and Im still in debt. We tried to cancel within the first 10 days and were told by Michelle Lyons, we couldnt, when that was not true. They withheld our contract so we wouldnt know our rights, and they did not provide all the services and products we paid for. 1.5 months in I tried to again cancel and kept asking for my contract and finally I was given a contract but it wasnt mine. When I read their cancellation policy I was furious to find out, I was in my full right to cancel back then, and was told by owner, Michelle Lyons that I was tacky, and I couldnt do that. She literally ripped my head off over the phone. I had no choice but to try to continue as I was now in what is for my family, a hike debt.Hawaii people do not deserve this. Nobody deserves this. We work very hard and the cost of living here is one of the highest in the nation. This LA company came to our little island of Kauai making promises, lying, concealing important information, and taking advantage of people, who like me, were naive to believe they care for my childs future. All they want is your money!!!! Do your research people!! Do not waste your money with this company. Beware of owner, Michelle Lyons. She is dishonest, disorganized, not clear, and not professional. We dont want you on our islands!!!

I wanted to give no stars to this Company but I had no choice to give one star 🤬🤬🤬🤬 Everyone our there Stay away from Bestalent Group it’s a SCAM!!! I don’t want what happens to me and my family to happen to anyone else. Agencies and casting calls don’t ask for money. They select you for your talent and confidence, whether you’re a fit or not. They don’t make you pay, you get paid for your work. We signed up with Bestalent Group and paid $7,500 to go to London for fashion week, guess what Michelle Lyons screwed up my whole trip and refuses to refund my money back, also has sent me a a check with no funds back in January 2019 since then I’ve reached out to her and her people( Kiara Belen) several times through email and they have ignored my emails for the past 7 months . I have hired a lawyer and went to the Authorities, she doesn’t care. Michelle Lyons is a thieve and she doesn’t care neither her people. My family doesn’t deserve this. Nobody does!! We work very hard and the cost of living here is high. This LA company reached out to my son making promises, lying concealing important information, and taking advantage of us who like me, were naive to believe they care for my child’s future. All they want is your money!!! Do your research people!! Be aware of the owner Michelle Lyons, Kiara Belen and Micha Ferguson among others. They are dishonest, disorganized, not clear and not professional. We don’t want your business!!!! They are a FRAUD COMPANY!!!!!

I would give this company no stars, but I think there’s no option. This place is a SCAM! I went there with my daughter Scarlet in the hopes of getting her into modeling and met with Michelle, the “Senior Talent Director” or whatever she wants to call herself; The bottom line is she is a SCAMMER who will take your money, make promises she can’t keep and say and do anything for money. This person Michelle, I believe is part owner of this SCAM outfit, and has NO legitimate connections whatsoever. I went there naive with the intention of receiving help for my daughter and was taken for thousands of dollars, since then have repeatedly asked for my money back but she never replies so I did my research and am in the process of filing a complaint with the Los Angeles District Attorney, whose assistant has told me that many complaints are pending with this SCAM outfit “Bestalent Group” BEWARE and avoid these CROOKS at all costs!

Whether or not you regard this process as a scam, Id like to share what I learned about this company after meeting with BesTalent GroupThey are absolutely 100% NOT a talent/model agency or management company. They do not represent models or actors. When asked what exactly their business is, they told me that they are a consulting firm FOR agencies, managers, and designers. The claim to have the power to connect their clients to the afformentioned individuals. Additionally, they offer modeling classes ranging from $500-$1500 depending on the length of the series.If you are invited to interview for NY/LA Fashion Week and have never had runway experience, they will tell you that you are required to take their classes before they can connect you to a designer. I dont know what they say to clients that have runway experience.If you already have representation, DO NOT go to this casting call because you will be disappointed to hear a sales pitch at the end of your callback. If you are new to the industry and feel like runway classes are going to help you land an agent or manager...I still dont know if this is where I would be spending my money. It seems like they do have a team of people there to advise clients on the industry, but as you can see in other reviews, prices are high. (Like $1500 for 8-10 weeks). Shop around if classes are what you are looking for.Casting calls never ask for money, which is why I walked away from this interview feeling like my time was wasted.

The staff at this place was soooooooooo awesome! We have already participated in multiple fashion shows on multiple continents! At first I was a little learly because you just never know, but i am now convinced this place is the real deal!!!!! Don’t be fooled by naysayers (As all aspiring models have to work hard and you just don’t know the details of who is doing what to get prepared on the surface)who could have alterior motives because there are those who are looking to exploit and get something for Nothing which is impossible this day and age. Come prepared to have your child work very hard and stay focused and if they do that this place is absolutely amazing! Even the teachers are very accomplished and soooooooo encouraging! Please feel free to reach out to me directly for my personal endorsement as it would appear that some of the negative reviews here were either planted by the competition or people attempting to unjustifiably extort the company. (What I’m guessing based on the content but who knows???) Don’t be swayed! This company has put on several shows that my child has participated in with multiple celebrities present at multiple different shows and incredible exposure that I haven’t seen offered by any other company out there. I definitely believe in the product and in the programs offered. Easily one of the better choices I have made for my daughter and hopefully my son very soon as well!

BesTalent is a very special place. My son recieved lessons on life as a model that other talent groups do not. The staff is so friendly and helpful. Ms. Michelle has been amazing with the doors she has opened for my son, not to mention just an amazing woman. Being with BesTalent is like being with family.

OMG! I can’t believe how bad this school has turned out to be. That woman Michelle lied to me sooo much! I signed up at the beginning of summer and was told they would develop me and that it wasn’t just a school but a development company and she would make me a star! I was warned by others not to do this but she was such a good liar I believed her over my family and friends. I paid $3500 which was all the money I had because Michelle convinced me to. It was for modeling and acting classes plus a photo shoot that were all super bad! Then when I was supposed to get modeling and acting work from her she told me I had to pay many thousands more to work. She never mentioned that at the beginning but during my gross classes I was told I would be going to Fashion Weeks to walk the runway In places like Paris and Milan because I and all the others were so good and I was so excited to work as a model finally. Then they told me I had to pay all that extra money to them to go. I met another girl there later who told me it was all BS and you don’t get paid or anything....They just buy their way into these events with the money you give them so you’ll pay for the classes etc. it’s just a rip-off. And what’s even worse is if you’re stupid enough to pay for these Fashion Shows you’re not really in the show with a designer and it’s just a side show which nobody cares about or pays attention to...It’s all a big lie. I want my money back because I learned nothing and didn’t get any work as promised but she won’t refund me. Liars and theives!

This place is a scam!!! They will ask you for 2,000 to 5,000 dollars after having the interview. Dont sign anything with these people. They will take your money and teach your child nothing. I thought they were literally joking when they told the price. You dont pay for an agency or manager to represent you.

BEStalent group is the perfect place to break into the industry. If you have zero experience or you have some and havent been able to catch the right break, BEStalent group will give you an opportunity you havent seen before. They will not solve the puzzle for you, but the team will get you the opportunity for you to make a difference for yourself!!! The best point of evidence... they put you immediately in the big time at NYFW or LAFW and let you swim! NO ONE ELSE will do that...
