Susan Page Modeling

SCAM! SCAM! SCAM! That’s all I’m gonna say! Used so much of my money just to start on a dam comp card which they charged me over $ 800 which I’m so stupid cause I was more younger at the time so obviously I wasn’t thinking about all this and didn’t get booked not even one job yet they just love taking your money and Susan page only focuses and works with there main models everyone else is just nothing it’s just funny how Susan replys back to some of these Unilocalers making her sound like the good one but it’s funny because all the lady’s there tell you to your face you will make it, the lady that helped me said I have such an exotic look and that I would get booked and it was all lies and they tell the kids parents lies so much and no calls, no bookings, no emails, no contacting back its just really sad seriously Susan help these people pursue there careers not take it away from them! Especially there money !

My girls, 8 and 11 when we started, are a couple of jocks. I’m also not the kind of mom who ever does glamour or hair. I signed my girls up for the preteen class and I was very happy with the outcome. They learned etiquette and self-​awareness. They connected with their teachers and couldn’t wait to go. I later signed them up for the actors workshop and they were very excited to learn about the business of filmmaking. My oldest now wants to be a director and has begun to write scripts. She even joined her school’s TV production club. My youngest scolds me about my own etiquette, LOL! The agency had to push the schedule/​start date back a few times, but when I had to postpone the schedule myself, they were totally willing to work with me. I did take my girls on a few casting calls with no job offers, but the experience of interviewing, confidence, and perseverance is priceless to me. Classes are a bit pricey, but I definitely got what I wanted.

Susan Page Modeling is a great experience and I recommend it to all young women. The confidence, poise, social graces, beauty regiments the girls learn in the program not only prepares them to model, but gives them skills for life. As a former student, professional model and instructor I can testify that this is a wonderful organization run by a great team.

This place is a scam, a ripoff, not worth the time or the money.
At first Susan seemed very nice, but after just giving me a brief description about what the place was about she started talking about money. I got suckered in because I didn’t realize after one payment of a couple hundred dollars there would be payments after payments after that! WTF!
When I went to send my pics in of my outfits by email she kept saying she couldn’t see them & to have someone else take them of me (which I did) after trying 3 times she just didn’t even emai back so when it came time to go in for my photoshoot I didn’t know what to bring! I called them to ask & they told me just bring in a bunch of different outfits so I did. Turns out she couldn’t see my pics because the SIZE of the pictures were too big –_​_​_​– I told her why didn’t she just tell me that I could’ve just changed the size! Her response was that she didn’t know how to work computers very well. umm ok.
The make up artist & photographer were very nice, however, when I went into my photoshoot I felt very disrespected by susan. I am an asian girl who has a bit darker skin and while we were doing my shoot it would only be the photographer & I, but in between my shoot they were always shooting another girl (she was very young, tall, caucasian & light skinned). When the other girl came in for her shoot Susan came into the room saying she just wanted to watch & how beautiful this girl was. When it came back to me she left the room. AM I THAT UGLY that you really just don’t care? I know I’m not freakin gorgeous or anything, but damn, way to make a girl feel horrible about herself.
The pictures came out and I hated all of them. I didn’t feel pretty at all. I’ve had better shoots with people who don’t take all my money. When I went in to meet up with Premier models & talents the lady didn’t even look at me, she just went through the contract & sent me on my way. The most HORRIBLE experience here. NO ONE should give them their hard earned money. Susan page I beg you to terminate my contract :)

Have a cute kid? Want to shell out a couple hundred bucks for pictures, classes and comp cards? Then after you’ve paid the money they tell you they don’t have a lot of jobs for kids. Of course they don’t and yet they go to events to actively recruit parents that will pay money for all they’re services. The kids program is a hoax.

I just graduated the MUA class a few weeks ago, I have to say i very pleased with the classes.
I have been doing makeup on my own for 3 years and I am finally certified. Toni our instructor really helped me learn more than I thought I knew. She was very patient and made sure she helped every one of us.
The one thing I loved with this class is the extra help with offer. Toni along with Nathalie who also helped with a couple classes offered us to help with fashion shows, photo shoots etc. It was nice to get out and practice more hands on.
The only down part I have to say was the makeup kit it’s self. It was very poor and small. I thought there would be a little more.
It came with–
A few eye shadows
7 piece brush set (very limited)
Blush
Bronzer
Lip gloss
Lipsticks
Eye liner
Just your very basic to get started.
It also came with the motives cosmetics bag.
Over all it was a great class and I learned a lot more than I already knew!

I am a recent graduate of the Make Up Artist (MUA) Program and I can’t explained how much fun I had. That’s how it should be! Even though it’s a school on makeup, I certainly did not feel like I was in school, I was and continue to pursue a life passion.
This is a 10-​week program. SPM provides a starter kit on the first day of class. You attend once a week and practice a different skill each week. For the last 5 weeks or so, you need to bring your own model to practice these techniques.
Toni Farley is a wonderful teacher! She gives each student her focus and attention so that no one falls behind. I was really nervous about not getting each lesson, (I am still practicing) but it is a worry-​free place of learning and have nothing to worry about.
The program ends with a photo shoot to document all that you have learned in a 10-​week duration. It’s amazing to see all of my hard work on print!
Additionally, I love how us students were given learning opportunities before we even graduated! Hands-​on experience with fashion shows, photoshoots, and film sets.
I hope to continue to learn and grow as a MUA. SPM has really set me up with foundation to become great, and the connections to go farther in this already saturated industry. Thank you!

Average Joe needs to step in and have a say.
Staff are great– friendly and all smiles as it is their job to show confidence, assurance and great manners. The staff is always with an answer or a kind word.
Presence– They are out in the community and bring in people all ages. I saw them at the Kids Day Fair at the Capital and they are ready and willing to share what it is that they do, they are very upfront that this costs this and this is our feature or this is our promotion. I do disagree with the other Unilocalers posts that were negative as my experience is that the agency as a whole is up front about what the services are…
Location– honestly, you can’t do much better than having a great catwalk the has a view of the ocean and the top of Ala Moana mall.
They really do seem to want all of their clients to succeed and always have an Aloha presence about them day in and day out. Hope that helps fellow Unilocalers reading more about this agency.

I took the Susanpage modeling & etiquette classes at 13 in Maui… by 16 I was working runway in Honolulu and on a magazine cover… since then, I’ve been in commercials for Cocacola, Taco Bell, Wet & Wild Waterpark, and Oceanic Time Warner, been in calanders, bikini spreads, and small independent films… what you have to understand about this industry is that it’s not easy! And you cannot just be pretty — you’ve gotta really have a lifestyle that allows health, fitness, flexibility, timeliness, communication, and good self marketing skills… and even more important you have to be cool with the punches cause you hear no a lot! So, that being said, Susanpage did a lot to prepare me for the TALENT LIFESTYLE that most agencies don’t teach you… it’s up to you to take your learning and put it to use… I still use the basic skin care and makeup daily and the runway basics saved me embarrassment that other girls had when the real jobs came around! Even beyond modeling, the womanhood confidence I gained from this program opened up many doors for me simply by enhancing my presence…
Great way to get into the business!

Makeup program is a ripoff!

I guess this agency is good if you don’t mind paying the agency hundreds of dollars for comp cards and portfolios. They have classes for modeling and make up so I guess there is that side.
So, my boyfriend and I went to an open casting call. What struck me was that they were telling everyone who wanted to model that they had to shell out a couple hundred dollars for a portfolio so they can send them to agencies.
Okay, from my little experience in the field, one should never fork money over. It’s like a job, if the agency likes you, they will invest, albeit minimally, to get your face on stuff. You do free shoots for the free pictures, etc etc.
I was just really disappointed. I felt like I walked into a time share sales presentation. I felt sad that there were some parents with kids who were being swindled and you knew they would never be asked to be in a shoot.
