I am dumb but now smarter. I was looking for prescription glasses (not sun glasses) for sporting activities. No thanks nor disrespect to Rec Specs, but I wanted something with a lower "profile." Oakley brand was the defacto choice suggested by all the optometrist shops I visited, and Oakley has an Asian fit option for certain frames. Sure enough, this Asian face needs an Asian fit. I was about to make a purchase at a glasses dealer but was shocked at the price even after a 50% off discount. Dismayed, I went to the Oakley retail store for divination, and there I found it. Sunglass frames are everywhere in the store. A worker saw my bewilderment and came to help out. I asked about the Asian fit frames and he took me to them, right next to Oakley's own **prescription service center**. Say it with me - whaat??? Oakey has their own licensed optician working in-store in a pretty sizeable area near the back of the store. Mitchell was great - courteous, patient, and knowledgable. We went over the pros and cons of the various customizable options. Since we had the vast inventory of the store to use, he could show me all of the available frame colors in the Flak 2.0. Better yet, he said that if I didn't like my color choice, I could bring it back to the store for a different color frame. That took away any fear of making a bad choice (heck, maybe I shoulda chanced that wild carbon fiber printed frame after all). Anyways, in about 2 weeks, I'll be getting my custom order in. The best part is the price. Yes, my overall cost was still on the higher side with the options I picked but a similar setup was about 50% more at other places. So be smart. If you need prescription glasses or sunglasses, check out the Oakley store. read more

Came in today to purchase a gift for a friend. The guy is a total Oakley fanatic, so it was really hard to figure out what to get him. Then in comes Kyle (a manager I believe), who lets us know that their return policy is a little gnarly - you have to fill out a form apparently. So he suggested a gift card. I realize that seems obvious, but we really appreciated Kyle's honesty in explaining the return policy. Anyway, we pay for the gift card and as we're walking out, my guy spots a pair of sunglasses and tries them on. Kyle sees us talking, and asks if we have questions. Yes - what is the difference between these and these? And WTF is the "Fallout Collection"? And why are non-polarized glasses $220?! Once again, Kyle's honesty wins the day. He explains the difference between the styles, and that the price point is high because it's a new collection. He points out that they have the exact same frames with polarized lenses that are cheaper in another display case. They just don't come in the post-Armageddon "Fallout Collection" colors. My dude had been wanting another pair of Oakleys after his Gascans got stolen a while ago, but he was waiting until he found frames he liked. We found them today and Kyle sealed the deal. He was a nice guy, honest, and not at all pushy. I asked how we could leave a customer service comment about him and he said Yelp! was the way to go. So, if corporate is reading this, please give Kyle a bonus. In sum, great experience today! All the staff were helpful. I've shopped in different Oakley stores on the continent, but this was the best customer service I've ever received at one. read more

I hate shopping Bc I hate crowds, and I hate going to Ala Moana even more Bc even parking is annoying, but I had a 10 year old pair of Oakley's and my hair stylist told me they give you $ towards a new pair no matter how old they are. She was right! You can upgrade your Oakley's and receive 25% off your next pair, no matter how old they are! I'm the worst when it comes to sunglasses and eyeglasses. Nothing looks right on my tiny head. Well, the employees in the store were extremely patient with me and we eventually found a pair that didn't look horrible (I think). I'd definitely recommend this store (and today, parking was not a bit$h)! read more

Oakley fan here. Checked this place out Feb 2004. Good location, inside Honolulu's Ala Moana mall. I bought the Claw Carabiner here, it was hanging off a display backpack. Same Oakley stuff you find at other O Stores. read more

The other day I came in with my boyfriend to give input on a pair of reading glasses he was looking to get. He came in before but since I was elsewhere, he decided to wait till I could come with him. He was helped by Richard who was just a delight. He was very funny and helpful and very patient. Upon walking into the store, no one greeted us except for Richard.. and he was just coming out of their back room!! I had no idea he was the one that helped the bf previously but extra brownie points!! What's even better was that Richard remembered him as well! He knew what glasses to bring out and the color, extra bp! He even joked around saying that my boyfriend was just raving about how his gf is the light of his life and he can't buy it without my input and how wonderful I was. Funny guy hahaa!! He just made our experience that much more great and gave my boyfriend that extra yipee after buying his glasses.. New glasses and great time buying it?? Yes please! read more

Rude employees. All of them, 4, ignored me the whole time I was there. I waited by a certain type of clothing for a while. Gave up. Wasn't worth my time. Worthless business. read more

Very helpful associates. I'm coming back for sure! A lot of frames to choose from. Too bad that they don't cover VSP insurance. Real bummer. Anyways, go and check them out! read more

I had a great experience here. Chaz was super great- offered great insight for where to snorkel and see some good surfing. They had a good selection of inventory for men and women- they just lacked footwear for ladies. $200 well spent! read more

I am glad that Oakley has a brick-and-mortar store in Ala Moana. I can go to the store to try on the different frames, see which ones are comfortable and which ones make me look like Fearless Fly (if you remember him, you're old...if you don't, go and meditate at the oracle of google). I have, in fact, purchased several pairs of sunglasses from this very store. So why the 2 stars, you ask. Well, sit right back and you'll hear a tale, a tale of a fateful trip...must...get...out...of...the...70's... Anyway, I have this pair of sunglasses that I really like. I bought them about 20 months ago because the red iridium lenses are striking. But they aren't dark enough so I also bought a set of black iridium lenses at the same time. Fast forward 20 months. I noticed that the red lenses are bubbling at the bottom edge. Now as I mentioned, the red iridiums aren't very dark so I don't wear them very often. The black iridiums are in the frame probably about 80% of the time. The black iridiums...no bubbling. So I head back to Oakley to see what can be done. I talk to a sales guy and tell him what is happening. He looks at the lenses and says, "They're delaminating. That's what happens when it touches your cheek with all the oils and sweat." Okay, gross. He said, "All of the lenses do that. Usually after about a year." Wait, what?!?! Did he just say Oakley lenses only last a year?! But I keep them immaculately clean, I say. He says, "Well, that's probably why they've lasted more than a year. The only thing you can do is buy new lenses. But we don't have those lenses in stock so you'll have to buy a different one." Okay, my brain is clocking...clocking...that little circle is spinning...I'm trying to take in the fact that he's saying Oakley lenses only last a year...at 100 bucks a pair, not a good bargain for disposable lenses. He says, "The only thing you can do in the future is buy this hydrophobic spray for $20 and use it every time." So this is my fault for not cleaning and spraying them after each use? Are these lenses made out of butterfly wings? I recover and say, I think I'll try a different brand of replacement lenses then, and turn around and start walking away. He says to me as I'm leaving, "You can try, but this happens to all brands of lenses." Uh...yeah, that really happened. My niece was with me and she turned to me and said, "Is he serious?" Of course, what he said makes no sense. I have similar Oakley's way older and they are fine. In fact, this has not happened to ANY of my sunglasses before, Oakley or not. Not even my running glasses, which I sweat all over and just toss in my car. And as I said, I wear the black iridiums way more and they are still, uh, laminated. When in doubt, go corporate. I contacted Oakley directly and told them what the sales guy said. They replied, uh, no. That is not correct. They said all Oakley lenses come with a 2-year warranty. All I have to do is go online and file a claim. So I did just that (which is not so quick...you have to take and upload all these pictures). Within a day, they came back and said the lenses are defective and to send them back for "repair or replacement". So my beautiful red Oakleys are somewhere in Georgia being "repaired or replaced". I just hope the lenses can be replaced because even their website does not sell them (they only have the non-polarized ones, sadly). Did the sales guy mention the 2-year warranty and how to file a claim? Not...one...iridium-coated, polarized peep... Quite the opposite, in fact. He implied that Oakley lenses are so poorly made that I need to replace them every year. So either this guy needs massive amounts of training, or he deliberately misled me just to make a sale. Either way, be very very very (3 verys...you've been warned) careful of what the salespeople in this store tell you. If it sounds fishy, go directly to Oakley. So why 2 stars? I gave them 1 extra star just for being a brick-and-mortar store so I can be touchy-feely with the different styles. I'll go in to try things on, but I'll do my own research and when they ask me if I have any questions, I'll just say, no, thanks, I want information, not misinformation. read more

Got that new look you want? I gotta wear shades.... Getting something new or need a replacement piece, just let them know what you need and want to suit your needs. If they don't have it, no worries, it can be ordered online. It pays to research that particular item and then go to the store to see if it fits your face, just like shoes. Sometimes it looks good but doesn't mean it feels good amd end up with an online purchase you regret. Go to the store and try it out. read more

PERSCRIPTION OAKLEYS FTW! I am seriously blind without my glasses and when mine were getting warn, I dropped by on my way to lenscrafters and am glad I did! Mitch is the registered optometrist I spoke too and yes, you heard me: This oakley store has a Dedicated Rx guy and fitting counter! Joe took my prescription from my doctor and said it would take 4 weeks to get the coveted Cross-Link switches. (not even available online! ) and only sold in O STORES! In 4 weeks, I had my pair and let me tell you, these guys (shout out to CAM the manager) honor and back there product. Had some issues with wear and tear and even broke the sides and they have honored the warranty and even replaced my sides for free! Great Staff and fantastic RX job on my favorite pair of glasses! Thanks crew! Robbie lee read more

We come here often to see what new products they got in. Their quality of their products are worth the price. The staff here is always available and helpful. read more

Bri was very very helpful with what I needed to know to get new eye glasses. Cheeeee huuu

Customer service is always great. We always manage to find what we're looking for. Just wish they had a Westside location. Maybe in the future. Can never go wrong with Oakley. Worth the price for the quality so don't go cheap. read more

They could take some lessons from the Kalakaua location. I know I am a tourist (even though I try to visit once per year) but at this store have never even been acknowledged. The last 3 times I have visited, I went to Oakley at Ala Moana while my wife shopped and in 3 visits not one staff even acknowledged I was there. They seem to have an unwritten rule, no local, no help. My close friend who visits 2-3 times per year couldn't even get help after 10 minutes of waiting at Ala Moana. I took him the Kalakaua location and we both left very happy. read more

Great service and range, sales person was attentive and listened to my request, then built my Oakleys to order in 10 minutes. great shop is your in the market for new Oakleys read more

Worst customer service ever, try and cater or offer assistance to customers instead of congregating at the register

Naldo is a great worker, I went into the Oakley store and upon entering he greeted and asked me what he could do to help. I ask if it would be possible to change the lenses on my sunglasses because the ones I had were all but up already. He ask me if I wanted to change the lens but get the same color it, polarized or non-polarized. After telling him what I wanted it took less than 5 minute to change my old lenses to new ones, I paid and was on my way, fast and great service. read more

Liz was extremely helpful. Gave good advice and recommendations and offered sale prices. Left with the store with perfect glasses. Liz is a very attractive sales person with a great personality. Good job Oakley in hiring a superb employee. read more

Went into the store on Friday just to browse around. We ended up being helped by Stephen and he is an amazing employee and salesman. My bf is kind of picky so we turned down a lot of the items that he showed us, but he was great and kept asking us questions and showing us multiple times. We ended up buy a few things and was very happy with what we chose. Not sure if the workers get bonuses or anything for getting a great review but Stephen (I think with the Australian accent?) is awesome!!! read more

Oakleys. I love them. Best sunglasses in my opinion. High Definition Optics for the win. This store. I hate it. I've been to other Oakley stores both on the island and the mainland and sorry to say but this one has the worst customer service of them all. Here's why. Do you know what a "kiosk" is? It is a touchscreen, similar to an ipad/android tablet that lets you search for items, surf the net, etc..You can see them at some hospitals, Hard Rock in Waikiki has a cool one, and you can also find them at Target for Baby Registries. Well this store has what LOOKS LIKE a kiosk. It has this enticing display to customize your own lenses. Wow! Really? Okay. So I start using what sure looks like a kiosk. It is 2012 and we are in the touchscreen age right? So, as I'm using the kiosk, one of the male workers says, "Can I help you?" Me: "Yeah, I want to make a pair of sunglasses" Dude: "Well, this is for STAFF ONLY". He said that in the most rude tone of voice you can imagine. Like I stole his bike or something. He then proceeds to point to this centimeter-high font label that is below a 36" inch flat panel kiosk. He doesn't ask me if he can help me after that he just walks away completely ignoring me. I own several pairs of oakleys. I'll probably buy several more. What I WON'T DO is ever shop at this location again. I'd buy "FOAKLEYS" from the vendors in the mall before I purchase anything to support that store. There is a review from a lady who mentioned using the kiosk. Looks like nothing has changed at this store. Oakley Ala Moana. You're horrible. Work on your attitude. You are probably missing out on thousands of dollars a day because of "dude". read more

Its seems like Oakley Staff don't like smiling much ...especially the Manager...kinda shady if you ask me... Sold me some glass but gave me the demo frame and did it right in front of me... at Least I seen him pull out a new lense because I almost said no way...I was suprise Managers do that...he probably would have some explanation but he sure didnt' explain anything to me... Some of the staff actually were nice...store was neat...but not too informative or accurate about what they had in stock...because they told me they had the lense in stock when I went in they didn't have it... very dissapointed....oh well... read more

Poor customer service. I walk in with anticipation of spending at the minimum $150 and not one of the 5 salespeople including the manager greets or ask if I need assistance. I browsed around for 15 minutes and was never approached. Finally I had to search for someone to assist me with a price check on a pair of golf shoes. I walked out empty handed because the salesperson was not enthusiastic about making a sale when the store was slow at 1:00pm in the afternoon. The company need to hire mystery shoppers to evaluate the help they hire and put the sales staff on commission. That would make them more hungry to make a sale! read more

I was having problems with a pair of my Oakley sunglasses that I had purchased two years. Naoto Miyazaki was very helpful and went beyond my expectations! I will purchase my next sunglasses from this store. Thank you, George read more

I used to go to Lenscrafters, but my Ray Ban did not last for more than 2 years, and obviously they don't have the best customer service. My old glasses broke and the paint start peeling off, so I went to Oakley. Michael is amazing, he was being very helpful and he is a super nice guy. His service was exceed my expectation. If I need a new glasses, I will definitely go there again. read more

Best Oakley experience ever, I don't remember the clerks name, but she helped build my custom new shades and then gave us suggestions for places to go on our vacation. Above and beyond! Thank you for the help... read more

Tyler provided excellent customer service! My boyfriend and I came in yesterday (Nov 15) just to look around, and Tyler approached us in a friendly manner which made us feel more comfortable being in the store. Tyler made sure that my boyfriend got what he wanted and answered every question that came at him. We came back today to buy the pair that he wanted. Overall, I will definitely come back if i needed a pair for myself. read more

Oakley Store awesome products but please Smile all of you. Manager great product knowledge but passess the buck when asked for help. Are we not all in the business of selling ? Do you not want your store to make money ? When I went to apple awesome store they had better customer service by far bar non product knowledge awesome. Oakley a little younger sales group " SO SALE" are you not there to work and make sales "RIGHT". Period treat evey one the same cause you never know who they are you can make a great sale or nothing at all. read more

Great customer service. The staff was more than willing to help and were very patient while I was trying to find the best fitting pair. Also, grip repairs are made onsite and only cost about $15. Well worth it. read more

I have been here a few times. A couple times I have gone in with my friend Kyle had helped us but was rather touchy but helpful. But when I had gone in a couple times last week Kyle and a few of the male employees were huddled up in the front none of them greeted us but instead talked story amongst each other. When I had walked to the back of the store the two female workers one with purple hair and the other had glasses kindly greeted me and asked if I needed any assistance. The boys in the store needs to learn from the girls. 4 starts for the female employee's!! read more

Limited selection of products. However, the customer service is excellent. The staff are knowledgeable and willing to listen to your needs to ensure you select the right style of sunglasses. Very helpful sales representatives! read more

I went to the Oakley store in lieu of buying a pair at another retailer because you can customize the glasses exactly how you want them, I was willing to pay the extra $30 for this option. I wanted to surprise my husband with a pair and after making my selection on the computer thing I printed it and a second later the manager of the store grabbed the slip out of my hand asking if I was gonna get it. Without waiting for me to answer he exclaimed "You shouldn't have done that! You just removed those items from my inventory, you shouldn't have done that! This is a tool that WE use to help YOU!" Embarrassed, I left the store and cried silently outside (mind you that I'm 5 months pregnant and super sensitive). Later, my husband called the store to confront the manager and he was in no way apologetic or sympathetic. He merely said that he was doing "this" for 32 years "brother" and that I shouldn't have printed out the slip of I wasn't gonna purchase the glasses. Bottom line: Brother, if you've been doing this for 32 years you should have a PhD in awesome customer service. It's a shame that I can't write this review without a star rating. I'll never visit or purchase from this store ever again. read more

Do not spend your money here. They don't greet customers...not one "hello" from the 4 or 5 sales people. I had to approach a salesperson to get some answers, and even then they were very rude. read more
