I've been wearing glasses essential my entire life. And I have experienced many eye-wear "specialists" in my day. Most are employees of a Lens crafter type shop or a Costco eye department and just want the sale and really don't have the experience or don't take time to care for the customer. That might work for some, but if you want folks that will take the time you need to get the perfect art for your face and especially the custom lenses for your specific eyesight, then it's worth the drive to Williamsburg, VA. Larry and Roxanne, owners of Art for Your Face in Williamsburg, VA will not dissapoint. They have a wide selection high-end eyeware to fit any customer. But more importantly they are lens experts. They can cut your lens at their shop or order them how you wish. They made specific recommendations for me knowing how severe my eyesight is and took the time to get my lenses perfect. They were cognizant and aware of my needs and delivered with precision. You will not be disappointed. Trust me. I don't give recommendations lightly, and they have my highest. read more

I found Art For Your Face several years ago in the DC area. I was very pleased with the service, selection and knowledge of this shop and Larry, the owner. By the time I needed glasses again he had moved the shop to Williamsburg. It was an easy decision to make the 2.5 hour drive from DC area to Williamsburg for my new glasses. Maybe you can shop around a little for frames, but when it comes to the appropriate lenses it is definitely best to have someone knowledgeable in new lens technology and proper fitting. Different frames, mounting techniques, and lens add-ons can be a lot to understand, Larry can quickly determine the best options for what you need. I love aviators, especially mirrored aviators. Larry had the perfect frame and lens for me. He told me of a new option for a mirror-like transition lens that can be used with a progressive prescription. No other optical shop told me of this new option! I love my new 2.5 italees so much that I also got Kawaski 704 glasses that I had been wanting for a while. read more

My first comment in Yelp-- 第一篇评论，我犹豫再三还是准备用中文写，毕竟涉及到一些专业词汇，行文方式，用母语应该能更贴切地表达我的感受。 那么这就开说，我的主题是：这家眼镜店不错的！ 老板Larry之前在Washington和妻子Roxanne一同经营同名的门店，这几年搬来堡里，打算安定下来享受时光。不过说实话，他看起来只有四十出头而已。 Larry 风趣健谈，做事仔细且真诚。面对我这种麻烦，挑刺儿又有重度选择恐惧症的顾客真是耐心到了一定境界。最后，我很扰人的征求他的意见，Larry的目光毫不犹豫的越过最贵的那几只，落在了这副黑色的Cody air上。而它确实是最适合我的。 我的脑袋生来就滚圆的，大部分的镜框没有能驾驭的宽度，所以往往戴起来有诡异的效果。平时在国内挑眼镜也是一项很闹心的事情。眼镜店专柜的小哥能推荐的，也就是那几个大众款式和尤其另类的设计，再者商业化的经营模式直接决定了服务人员的业务质量，于是更无法指望他们能跟你讨论宽度，聚点，镜片折射率。而这也是我为什么如此深爱Larry这家店的另一原因-- Art for your face 没有服务生，老板亲自陪你玩儿，最高指挥和裁决者是在内室负责验光的老板娘（笑）。如果碰巧Roxanne接听你的预约电话，ur just so lucky~她的声音特别好听！ 其次让我比较敬佩和欣赏的，是Larry的原则性。二十多年职业经历的手艺人做事就是这样，干练，精致，周到，守时，负责。开单当日说好周四来取，我磨磨唧唧下午到了，又临时起意拐转角吃个午茶，他电话就来了～真是感动，放国内可从来没有三天搞定的规矩，俩礼拜以内告诉你弄好了可算是烧高香。再举个栗子，Larry店里没有big brand designer glasses，全一色professional, 原因不必多讲。记得他跟我开玩笑说，以后我在宿舍，无论把架子坐歪多少次，都尽管过去找他，全包。 以上就是我所要跟大家分享的关于Art for your face的全部，老板对电脑网页一类的不是很熟悉，而且坚持不做虚假宣传，所以我希望有需要的各位直接登门捧场～ 学生买镜片有折扣哦^_^ PS, WM小伙伴感兴趣的可以来找我，我厚颜无耻的打着你们的名义跟Larry 要了好多金属书写板和笔，大家一起share~~~ Ira Wong 11/25/2014 read more

We met Larry & Roxanne in their old location years ago; frankly its been hard to believe how much time has passed. I have ordered 4 pairs in that time, one of them just last month in their new Williamsburg location. I also updated the lens in a frame I had purchased from them some time back. Although unnecessary, we went down to see the new space and catch up. Larry had both pairs of glasses to me in the timeframe he promised, with uncompromised quality. I put them on, ready to wear immediately. They have a great selection of high quality frames. They are excellent at identifying frames that work with your face and for the look you specify (work, style, both). I always get compliments on my glasses. My husband has also ordered several pairs, also including sunglasses, and has been just as pleased. Larry & Roxie are neighborly and will welcome you into their business as if it were their home. Sophisticated taste with sensibility. Do check them out. read more

Art For Your Face was a frequent stop for me when it was located in Tyson's Corner Mall. Larry and Roxanne moved their store to Williamsburg, Va. Yet with internet, phone, and FedEx, it's even easier to place orders with them. I've received the same phenomenal service that I did when it was at Tyson's corner. Outstanding quality, service, and quick delivery that I did when the store was at Tysons. I ordered one pair of custom prescription sunglasses and they were delivered in less than ten days. I then decided to order a different style for a different purpose and they were delivered in 8 days. 8 days from order to delivery of high-quality, prescription optical lenses is amazing by any standard. Larry called to follow-up to ensure I was satisfied. Great store and service for all of your optical needs! read more

I've trusted my eyewear needs to Roxanne & Larry for at least 10 years now and wouldn't think of going anywhere else. The personalized care I get, plus the best-quality lenses and most beautiful frames I've ever had have given me the best vision I've had in my life, and I'm a -8 with astigmatism with progressive lenses. There is no comparison between Art For Your Face and those chain stores that claim to give you great vision at low prices. It's been my experience that you get what you pay for, and at those places the service is terrible and the product is mediocre at best. I know I'm getting the best care here, and I'm still getting compliments on frames I purchased well over 5 years ago! I highly recommend you give Art For Your Face a try. You'll be delighted. read more

I have never had the professional and personal service that I received from Larry. My eyesight is poor and I have worn contacts for YEARS but I told Larry I wanted to get a pair of glasses that I really LOVE so that I would wear them more often. I have never had frames I liked all that much and never really cared because I rarely wore them in public BUT, thanks to Larry I have worn my new glasses everyday so far. Larry looked at my prescription and took the time to look at HOW I wear my glasses on my face and he made sure to help me pick a frame that not only looked great on me but would well with my prescription. I am pleased beyond belief and Larry is now my new best friend. :) I highly recommend him for all of your eyeglass needs! read more

My wife and I have been customers of Larry and Roxanne's since they were in their old store in Tysons Corner, VA. Even when we moved too Pittsburgh, PA, and now in Wilmington, NC, we will continue to be their customers until they break our hearts and retire. My wife's prescription is a difficult one to fit, extremely high, and she has never had a set of glasses as comfortable to wear or as accurate to her Rx as the product we get from Art For Your Face. They don't just make your glasses, they craft them, and they look gorgeous every time. It's a bit more expensive than the box retailers, but the difference in workmanship is worth the cost. You will not be dissatisfied at Art For Your Face. They simply don't allow anything but perfect. read more

This review is very tardy, which is NO reflection on the establishment. Earlier this year, I decided to treat myself to a more stylish look by accessorizing with my glasses. In addition, my current ones had started to leave a mark at the bridge of my nose. In any event, I experienced a fabulous two for one deal! I thought I was meeting with Larry but I also met and interacted with his wife. Their hospitality was wonderful and their assistance with the shape of the lens, was helpful. I have received numerous compliments and appreciate how lightweight the glasses are. In fact, they are so lightweight that I sometimes forget that I may have rested them at the top of my forehead. In a nut shell, TWO THUMBS UP! Andrea P. read more

My husband and I have been going to Art for Your Face for a couple years now. Just had to share the wonderful experience I just had. I live in Alexandria VA, Art for Your Face is in Williamsburg VA. My son broke my glasses, and I was like ok now what. Called Larry, he ordered me new frames while I was on the phone with him Wednesday, I Fedex'd him my broke frames Thursday, he called me today Friday, he has already gotten my frames, put my lenses in and it is shipping out today, I should have them Saturday! Talk about turn around! Just a great example of the outstanding customer service my husband and I have been receiving from Art for Your Face :D read more

Mr. Larry is awesome!! I love the fact that he values his customers unlike others retailers they just want your money and provide poor service. His store is a little pricey, but is worth every penny your spend :) I went to buy my glasses earlier this year with Mr. Larry at Tysons Corner and three weeks ago I damad my frame and lenses. I called Mr. Larry and he said he moved to Richmond :( I explained to Larry what happened to my glasses and he told me to mail it to him, which I did. Mr. Larry fixed it and replaced the lenses for FREE!!! I will definitely recommend this place to everyone I know!! :) and I will be returning back for sure!!! read more

I recently purchased prescription glasses for both myself and my 11yo daughter from Larry at Art for your Face. He is really great at explaining all of the options and super helpful in finding the right frame and lens. My daughter has had a lot of trouble finding a frame that is comfortable to her and as a result she hasn't wanted to wear her glasses. Larry spent a lot of time with her and she is so excited for her new glasses. My new frames fit me so well and my vision has never been better. The quality of the products Larry offers is just top notch and his service is unmatched anywhere I've visited in the past 20 years. read more

They owner Larry is why you should shop here. He is amazing. We have purchased 4 pair of Costa sun glasses for our family. We have purchased all from Larry. I needed to return them to the factory today via mail. Larry assisted me helping me fill out paperwork to get my replacement sunglasses for a few of the pair that we have damaged over the years. Bottom line- if you are in the market for glasses of any kind- see Larry at Art for your Face. He helps locals and out of town customers . This is the type of company you want to do business with. My husband and I both shop there. read more

Larry is Awesome! My husband and I have bought at least four pair of Costa sunglasses from him and his customer service is above and beyond. I was deciding between two different color frames. Larry let me wear one for a few days and return it for the others if I did not like it! I also had the rubber nose pieces on another pair deteriorate and instead of sending them off to Costa and being charge $14.99, Larry replaced them the same day in his store for no charge! For sunglasses or prescription glasses, Larry at Art for Your Face is the the place to go! read more

I've been buying glasses and lenses from Larry since I first started needing glasses when his shop was located in Northern Virginia and now do business by mail. As a professional photographer, I make a living with my eyes and I'm particular about my glasses. He still has records of how I like my lenses and knows how I like my glasses to fit. SUPER nice guy and always willing to go the extra mile. Couldn't be more happy with Larry and Art For Your Face. He is a great example of how customer service is supposed to be done. read more

I've gotten a few pairs of glasses (prescription glasses, sunglasses and prescription sunglasses) from Larry at Art for Your Face and have loved every pair. I also have been in for routine adjustments and have been very pleased with their services in every circumstances. Larry is a true craftsman who loves his profession and is extremely knowledgeable about his field. He's given me wonderful advice regarding types of lenses and glasses to buy. I can't imagine getting something as important as my glasses from anyone else. read more

I am so happy with my purchase from this local eye glass place. The owner Larry is very knowledgable and extremely helpful. I found the perfect pair of David Yurman glasses. I LOVE THEM! The frame selection is great. The quality of the lenses is the very best. I have worn glasses my whole life but the quality of these lenses are flawless. Buy your next pair of glasses from here, you will not be disappointed. Art for your face is the only place I will ever buy frames and lenses going forward, for life!! read more

Biggest selection of costas around. Very helpful. Great customer service...I hate how other stores employees follow you around and watch you try on the glasses or you have to ask them to get each pair for you. Art for Your Face is not like that at all. Very comfortable and laid back, you can really take your time and see what pair you like with no pressure. If he doesn't have exactly what you want, he'll order it and ship it to you for free. I'm very pleased with the whole experience and my new costas! read more

I went in on a whim looking for a back up pair of sunglasses. My husband swears by Costa so I thought I would check them out. Larry's knowledge of glasses was unmatched. He was equally happy to show me any brand, as I tend to lean toward Maui Jim, and in the end I purchased my "first" pair of Mag Bay Costa's. He ordered them in the color I requested and had them in and ready for pick up before I expected. Great experience and we will be back, and probably with friends ;). Thanks Larry, your a Rockstar! read more
