Awesome experience! I bought a pair of ic! Berlin sunglasses…read morein New York City, but it was going to take a couple weeks for them to fill my prescriptions. Of course the sunglasses have a special frame which excludes many many places that could fill the prescription. I wasn't gonna be there long enough to get my glasses back at the nyc lens place so I came home and searched around and found Alexander Daas. The moment I walked in the manager, there immediately knew what pair of glasses I was wearing, and completely understood the challenge for other places to try to create prescription lenses for these glasses. But not to worry, we know how to work with these sunglass frames. they proceeded to take all the measurements fill out the paperwork, I paid for the prescription, and was told it would be 1 1/2 to 2 weeks before I got my sunglasses back. Up to this point the service has been exceptional, friendly, efficient, and most importantly knowledgeable. Fast forward two weeks and I went in to pick up my sunglasses. I tried them on and everything was spot on. Very happy with the end result. I highly recommend Alexander Daas. Even though it's a longer drive to get there from where I am it's worth it. Shout out to the manager who I worked with, Marissa, she was awesome.

I asked Giovanna to help with an order placement and found that even though they didn't have it in store, she was able to locate the glasses and order the frames for me. One thing to note though is that they don't have your typical lux brands like Chanel, Saint Laurent, or Tiffany&Co., but they do carry a good variety of Celine glasses and other well made brands. 5/5 for the service. It's a no hassle type of boutique optometry.

I want to share my recent experience with Specs at One Paseo to help other customers make an…read moreinformed decision. The first thing I noticed right away was that I had been overcharged on sales tax, which the staff corrected when I pointed it out--but I really shouldn't have to double‑check something so basic. I purchased a pair of Vuarnet sunglasses here for $324 after the staff told me they were polarized. When I wore them in my husband's car with UV‑tinted windows, I noticed they didn't show the usual rainbow pattern that polarized lenses create. After double‑checking (including testing against another pair of polarized lenses), it became clear these were not polarized. I returned to the store to give them a chance to make it right. Here's what happened: * The staff admitted the sunglasses were not polarized. * They refused a refund because I was "past 7 days." * They offered to swap my Vuarnet glass lenses for plastic polarized lenses, or charge me another $50 for the correct Vuarnet lenses. * They asked to keep my sunglasses to show the owner, saying the owner would contact me. The next day, instead of the owner reaching out, a staff member contacted me with the "resolutions" the owner had decided on. Given the seriousness of selling me sunglasses under false pretenses--whether it was a mistake or not--I felt this was poor customer service. They had the opportunity to make things right twice, and chose not to. I left this process with no sunglasses and no refund, and the staff I dealt with were unapologetic and unhelpful. If you plan to shop here, I strongly recommend double‑checking everything they tell you about the products and watching your receipt carefully. Personally, I will not shop here again.

I went to this beautiful boutique several weeks ago, and found a gorgeous pair of frames to make…read moreinto my progressive lenses. I was excitedly awaiting their arrival, but after three weeks hadn't heard anything so called in and was told they were ready. Great! The problem, is that when I went to pick them up two days later, the store was closed and locked well before 6pm and there was nothing inside but empty shelves. Since then nobody will answer or return my calls. I went back again yesterday, now three days after originally trying to pick them up, and it looks the same - still empty and locked during regular business hours. I fear they took off or went out of business and I may never see my $1200 again.

They were replacing the lenses for my wife's existing glasses (that she had bought from them a few…read moreyears back and had only used a handful of times). Their lab broke them, and are not taking any reasonability for it. Direct messages from them below "Good morning, unfortunately the lab broke your frame while mounting the lenses, do you have another frame you would like us to send to the lab" "Unfortunately the lab is not held responsible for older frames. We could give you a 20% discount towards a new frame" Shocking attitude for a small business towards someone who has been multi-year multi thousand dollar customer.

These lenses cost $600 and they will not replace Them They are a few months past the two-year warranty. I have another pair of sunglasses that I've had for five years that were manufactured by the previous lens manufacture and I have not had a problem. It's disappointing that the doctors that now are running the practice do not stand by their product. I have switched to Costco, which is about a third of the price. My suggestion is to take your prescription and get it filled elsewhere.

I tried on a bunch of jackets and pants--shoutout to London at the fitting rooms, who was lovely! I initially left with a total of $381.58. But later, I noticed a couple of discrepancies: the jacket's discount was miscalculated and the pants were mislabeled as XS when they were actually smalls. After some research, I found the items for less on Amazon, so we called Hansens. My fiancé spoke with them, and they were willing to price match. Enter Patty, the awesome manager! Patty was incredibly kind and helpful--she matched the Amazon price and gave me a partial refund right on the existing order. I didn't even have to drive back to Encinitas or hassle with a return. Thanks to Patty Bolton and the team, everything was made right--and I'd absolutely recommend Hansens to anyone! 5 stars
