Millie Lewis Greenville 1228 South Pleasantburg Drive, Greenville, SC 29605

"My daughter took an interest in being in magazines, so we called Millie Lewis, since we knew a few ppl that had completed some print jobs decades ago. I was very blunt with the owner and informed her that my daughter does not want to do classes, nor does she need them. If you can use her for any jobs, she is available, but please , NO schools. she is already confident and is very busy, so if you have a need, please let me know. The owner gushed over my daughter and her features. She said, just take one class so you can learn how to pose for the camera.. We said sure... the next thing you know, my daughter gets a bill for $700 or so and she is taking Saturday classes. Total bait and switch. We still did not complain as we wanted her to get the jobs and so we were showing that we were easy to work with. The classes were over8 weeks later... we dropped another $400 on photos... they were supposed to help her with posing, they didn't even do that.. She was on her own during the shoot, so none of it made any sense. Fast Forward 6-9 months... I called the owner and said, why haven't want heard from anyone. She gives me this pitch how they are not Atlanta or NY (which is fine, but say that in the beginning instead of all of the work she can do for you). I can go on and on, but I will stop here. One thing that really frustrated me was when I complained, I got an email on how they helped her with her confidence and so many other things. I never called and asked for you to work on her confidence. I asked you if you could use her for any work as we are constantly being told she should model. I will never forget my experience and conversation with them. A few months later, my daughter and I flew to LA and she completed 2 print jobs with Golden Goose and signed a deal with a skin cream company. When I told Millie Lewis about this, they made some rude comment. I have zero respect for this place. They should have apologized and did something but instead they made some excuse that we were apparently too hard to work with so they will not be giving my daughter any work. Burt they $1,000+ off of me. Scam."

"I spent my early teen years here. They shamed me for being too pale. They offered me a runway spot and took it away because my thighs were too fat. This happened in my teens. Don’t send your daughters here for confidence."

"I've enjoyed getting to know Annie Guarcello, the new Director of the Millie Lewis Modeling school who is very interested in the success of her students. She is professional and sincerely a kind person, beautiful inside and out! My daughter took her 1st modeling class and loved it! When it came to the photo shoot, I was nervous at first wondering how my daughter would do. However, Annie, Chelsey (photographer) and Elizabeth (Office Manager) all did a great job of making these new models feel at ease and so comfortable that they all want to come back for more! Thank you to everyone at Millie Lewis for your contribution in teaching our young daughters more about self-confidence and how to present themselves in a manner that gets respect. Wishing everyone at the Millie Lewis Agency a Happy Holidays and a Happy New Year! NH"

"Overall a great experience! The classes have taught me so much about the foundations of modeling and helped me become a more confident person, and the agency has provided me with many opportunities. Also, Barbara and George are a great duo and create such an energetic and inviting atmosphere."

"My daughter has been going to Millie Lewis for a year and a half now, and usually my wife takes my daughter to practice and photo shoots. My daughter asked me to go to up and coming shoot. I went and it was not a pleasant stay. I sat with my other 2 children in the room where the parents were and had no issues at first. An employee of Millie Lewis announced there was a spare room for the kids to change into their clothes. My daughter changed in the spare room while I sat with my 2 other children. I walked to peek at my daughter taking her pictures and a Caucasian woman tells me I can’t come in because that’s the changing room. Which was clearly announced that parents may sit in there. My children were still inside and she wouldn’t let me in. My wife then walked in the room and then the lady proceeded to close the door on my face while I tried to get my kids out of the room. My children were crying as well as my daughter modeling. The staff then asked what happened and did nothing. It was clear because I was a black man, the woman must have felt threatened. They didn’t make the woman leave even after causing a scene. I had heard negative things about this place but wanted to try it for myself. I do not recommend this place at all. They charge for things you can make happen for yourself. They do not teach proper etiquette at all. They have mean and hateful children as well as parents who make others feel uncomfortable and the company does nothing. Millie Lewis is not fair with all of there customers and children should not have to witness the discrepancies of this company. Last year during a fashion show, they had a teacher grab a young lady by the arm improperly and she was left crying until her parent showed up. They guarantee nothing for your child, and truthfully you can do more for your child then they can. I am not writing this out of anger. I was truly shocked that this company is ran in this fashion."
