I'll never go anywhere else to get my eyeglasses until Glenn retires! I loved going to the shop when it was in Woodinville to get my glasses. I had never previously enjoyed getting glasses, because I felt very self-conscious, but it was painless and actually fun at this shop. And I got a pair of eyeglasses that is the only pair I've ever worn in all my decades of eyeglass-wearing that got compliments. Sadly, Expressions in Eyewear is no longer in Woodinville--but happily, the business still exists and you can conduct everything online and through the mail at its new address in Idaho. I just got a pair of computer glasses that way to replace my ancient, mangled ones--Glenn figured out my prescription based on the lenses I sent him and popped the new lenses into a frame he thought I'd like--and I did! I'm very, very pleased and look forward to getting my next regular prescription glasses in the near future. In short, great service, great product, great prices! read more

I've gotten two pairs of glasses from this shop. I wanted to go with a local frameshop for my new glasses instead of going with my optometrist's office or just picking something up at Costco. I happened to stumble on this place completely by accident, and left very pleased with my experience! The owner, Glenn, introduced himself and his business as being "Hands-on" with customers to help them find the best pair of glasses that fit their face, even if it's not a style and/or color they'd normally pick. I'll admit, I was a bit scared of potentially pushy sales tactics, but that ended up being a needless worry. Glenn himself has plenty of experience in the science behind color theory and how it applies to not only appearance and fashion, but how it subtly affects our subconscious. As a graphic designer and science nerd myself, I was happy to let him geek out on me about why he selected certain frames for my consideration. I tried on probably 50 pairs of frames during my first visit, and using Glenn's elimination method, narrowed my choice down to four frames in about 10-15 minutes. I ended up choosing a pair that was similar in style to ones I've worn in the past, but a different color pattern that ended up fitting in well with my wardrobe without being overly flashy. My second visit I went in for some prescription sunglasses and am very happy with the results. I love the variety of options available in terms of coatings, production methods (Digital versus traditional), and just variety of styles in general. Prices range from affordable to high-end designer. Expression's turnaround time is pretty fast, too - my primary glasses came in about 3 days after ordering, and my polarized prescription sunglasses in about 5 business days. read more

Went to pick-up new glasses, which were fully paid for, and found big sign going out of business. Locked door and no contact info. November 18, 2020. read more

I found Expressions on Yelp as I was looking to get my glasses repaired, (nose pad broke off). Nicole greeted me "by name" when I walked in....(I had called before I drove there), she took my glasses and said "I can fix them right now". She handed them back to me with new nose pads and clean lenses within 10 min! While Nicole was doing the repair, Hannah saw I was looking at frames and stepped right up to help; she told me all about the new frames I was looking at, all that goes into the new types of lenses, the costs, etc. (before I left she wrote down the brand, style #, lense type, the price, etc. and handed me a card so I had a reference when I am ready to buy). The service was 5 Stars, their professionalism and courtesy was 5 Stars and it's an easy location to find in downtown Woodinville. Thank you Nicole and Hannah....I will see you when I spring for the cool new frames! read more

l have been a happy customer for over 30 years. Several years ago my elderly father was wearing heavy, clunky plastic frames, and was extremely unhappy with his trifocals. Glenn helped me talk him into buying a more comfortable, lighter-weight, titanium frame, and took the time to get his trifocals exactly the way he wanted them. Glenn is very good at helping customers with specialty lenses. read more

Excellent care from opticians and optometrist here. New technology for eye exams plus fabulous personality of Dr Nguyen made that visit a delight. The very patient Glenn helped me decide on just the right frames and got me excited for my first ever self darkening lenses which I loved immediately. Yes, glasses here are super expensive, but lenses are made on premises with the absolute latest in lenses technology, and they carefully check to make sure they got it right for you. Forego those frappes, save up you allowance, use your Amazon rewards card and get your next glasses at Expressions in Eyewear in Woodinville. read more

I'm so happy I discovered Expressions in Eyewear! I've actually known about them for years, but I never went, assuming they'd be too expensive. I finally gave them a try, and now I'm kicking myself for not going there sooner! The people there are not only very knowledgeable, but also super fun. They have a great selection and helped me pick out frames that were cute, comfortable, and fit my face perfectly - and in a fraction of the time it's taken me to find good frames in the past. These people really know what they're doing. I've gotten numerous compliments on my new glasses, and I really couldn't be happier. The price was more than reasonable, too. This is definitely my new go-to place for glasses. read more

Usually I don't write reviews online, but I wanted to spread the words about how great this store is! Well, my old frame is broken and I wanted to resize my existing lenses and fit them into another frame I brought. But it is really difficult to find a store in the greater Seattle area that does this, and getting a new pair of lenses would cost me an arm and a leg. Luckily I found this one after searching for a long time. I don't live in Woodinville, so i drove 30 miles up there. The store looks nice and has an inhouse lab. They also sell lenses, frames and provide eyeglass repair (yes, one-stop shopping). The lady in there was very friendly and polite. She helped to measure the distance between my pupils and told me they would call me in an hour once my glasses is ready. Also, they didn't charge me anything until the job is done. About an hour later, I got their call and was happy to know that the lenses fit well. My husband picked up my glasses and paid $39 for the resizing. $39 instead of several hundreds bulks! ! Thank you for saving my day Expressions in Eyewear! I am 100% pleased with the services I received, and highly recommend this store! read more

I have been going to Expressions in Eyeware for at least the past 15 years, if not longer. They always take extra special care of me and my extreamly difficult prescription. I have the most amazing pair of glasses EVER! For the first time in my entire life (and I've worn glasses since I was four) I feel fashionable in my glasses and not self concious. I get stopped by people - total strangers - who ask where I got my glasses because they are so cool. Yeah, they are cool, but I can actually see really well out of them too! Katherine, Nate, Glenn and Dr. Olavarria are all wonderful. I wouldn't trust anyone else with my eyes now that I know how good I can have it. Thanks, you guys, for making me happy to wear glasses for the first time in my life. It means a lot! read more

I have shopped for eyeglass frames and prescription lenses with Glenn (the owner) and Katherine (the store manager) for years now. Glenn guided me to some more stylish frames (replacing my Costco specials) and I really liked the results. Katherine has worked with me in getting to know about the new types of lenses available. She got me to try Hoya progressive lenses. I was shocked at the clarity of my vision with these lenses, not just at the center of the lens, but also up and down & left and right in the periphery areas. Hoyas are amazing (the full visual clarity also eliminated the weird visual effect of seemingly stepping off a much deeper drop off when walking down stairs!). The folks at Expressions in Eyewear have spent time with me, explaining the benefits of these lenses, helping me find the right frames for my face, and I have always felt well-taken care of with them. I love the service and all of the recommendations they've made for me. They are not cheap (Costco is cheap, but Costco has made some glasses for me in the past with terrible errors in the prescription), but you get what you pay for. If you wear glasses every waking moment of every day as I do, you need high quality glasses that allow you to clearly see everything you need to see and look good in the process. These folks strongly emphasize customer service and will take good care of you, too. read more

My husband and I are long time residents of Woodinville. I think this company may be under new management because we have bought glasses there in the past and had a good experience. This time however it was just the opposite. I went in and choose frames and gave a deposit for over $500 (1/2 of the total amount). When they came I couldn't see out of them. Everything was blurry. The owner said he could redo the glasses once, but that was it. I went back to the optician who did the prescription and she retested my eyes. In her opinion the company had done a negative sign instead of a positive. Sooo, I didn't know who to trust and decided I didn't want to take a chance and have them come in wrong again. I took the frames back and told the staff the problem and asked if there would be any refund. They checked with the owner and answer was No. So now, I have spent over $500 for nothing. Very disappointing. read more
