I came to this location b/c I knew Lenscrafters accepted my insurance, was close to my work, and most importantly, sold Chanel eyewear.
A few months ago, I walked in just to take a look at the Chanel eyeglasses they had to offer. A gentleman was working there who said he was filling in for a few days and usually works at a diff office. I found a cute pair I liked which was black and pink and had a flower, chanel logo and a bow on the side of the frame. He CONVINCED me this was the perfect pair for me in terms of size, design and fit. I was extremely happy that I found a pair I liked and he tried extremely hard for me to purchase them then but I told him I wanted my boyfriend's opinion and was going to come back. I ordered the exact pair online (authentic of course) and brought it in a few weeks later with my boyfriend and guess what? The lady that was helping me told me, oh no...these glasses do not fit your face well at all. These are too tight! These chanel frames were only size 50 and she said I would need 51-52 for the fit to be perfect especially because it was extremely snug on the sides. WUT?! Why did this guy convince me it was perfect then? Obviously he was only trying to make a quick-sale and I tried on the same pair at the store (to make sure it wasn't just the one I ordered online that wasn't a perfect fit) and they were pressing against my skin. I walked out of there that day extremely unhappy and decided to put off buying frames until I found the perfect pair.
I just went back last week and found a pair that fit better and the girl that helped me find them was really sweet. They were a black on black pair of Chanels with the cameilia flower on the side. She was sweet, but not necessarily the type of girl that went out of her way for service ever. I asked her if there was a pair with a pink flower on the side (didn't know if Chanel even sold a pair like that) and she just shook her head no. Fine, I ordered and paid and was going to pick them up in a few hours after work. During work, I checked online for the style and found that they DID have the pair with a pink flower on the side...why didn't they at least check then? After work I went into the store and Theresa, the manager (supposedly) was there with my glasses. I asked her about the ones with the pink flowers, she looked and yes they have it in the system, but they do not have any in the store...she calls the warehouse and they do not have any and supposedly, they are NOT allowed to order from Chanel more (apparently, Chanel just doesn't like Lenscrafters but loves MyEyedr) while she's supposedly "adjusting" my glasses, she goes on and on about the cameilia flower and the whole lifestory of Coco Chanel...sorry I already know about her and the flower...but I put up with her chatter anyways. She gives me the glasses in the case and goes on and on about the nice quilted case...I already have one from my previous chanel pair you guys told me to buy but was yet too small for my face....I asked her...do you guys at least give a lens cleaning set? "oh no...we do not give those out with our chanels.." WTF? Chanel is the BESt and most expensive brand in the store...if you don't give them out with Chanel, what do you give them out with? I didn't feel like arguing with her because she was so bitchy and didn't give a crap about service (I really don't know how she got to be manager). I walk out of there and in the car, I realized..OH MY GOD! I didn't even get the Chanel box with it (only the case) and not even a chanel logo bag! I was furious! I'm paying around $400 still OUT OF POCKET, including insurnace and I don't even get THESe things that are supposed to COME with the pair of glasses? I go back in to ask her and she checks the back and she says, "sorry no box".
The next few days passed and the more furious I got. I wore the glasses for a few hours while watching a movie and they kept slipping down. I was shocked because Theresa claimed she adjusted them to fit my face perfectly already. The more I thought about it, the more angry I got...I can buy my chanels from anywhere else and I would be receiving better service than Theresa and that Lenscrafters. I started to call a few places I knew carried Chanels and ended up going to MyEyedr in Clarendon. Everyone there was SUPREMELY friendly and I walked out with the order of TWO pairs of gorgeous chanels, with chanel logo bags, WITH chanel boxes, AND with the correct chanel cases AND lens cleaning sets. I tried on the original lenscrafters pair for the guys at MyEyedr and they said she basically did NOT even adjust them at all which was why it kept on falling off my face.
I returned the glasses back to this place and I will never be returning to this horrific place with HORRENDOUS service from Theresa their so-called manager. If their manager is so useless and not helpful, I wonder what the rest of their staff is like. BEWARE AND STAY AWAY!!! You will ABSOLUTELY regret going like I DID!!! read more
