What makes this even more upsetting is that my family and I have made countless purchases from Sunglass Hut over the years, and it is extremely disappointing to see how we were treated during this visit. We went in so my mom could browse and try on frames she was considering for prescription glasses. We were approached by a sales representative named Kathy, who initially asked if we needed help. We politely told her we were just browsing and that my mom was still deciding. Just a couple minutes later, she approached us again and asked the same question. We again politely said we were okay and that my mom was simply indecisive and still looking. She came up a third time and continued to pressure my mom while she was actively trying on frames. My mom told her she was still deciding, but Kathy then took the frames directly out of my mom's hand and said, "Let me put that back for you," even though my mom was in the middle of trying them on. She then came over to me and took the frames out of my hand without me saying anything and said, "Let me put these back for you." This was extremely odd, uncomfortable, and inappropriate. We were clearly trying on the frames, yet she was physically removing them from our hands without our permission. It made us feel unwelcome and disrespected. As people of color, this interaction felt especially troubling and made us question whether we were being treated differently. After this disturbing interaction, we decided to leave the store because I told my sister that I felt very uncomfortable being there. My sister, however, went back inside to calmly ask the employee for her name. The employee said her name was Kathy, but then suddenly began yelling at my sister at the top of her lungs, saying, "What is wrong with you?" This was shocking, aggressive, and completely unprofessional behavior. We entered the store as respectful, loyal customers who have supported this company for years and were genuinely interested in making another purchase. Instead, we were treated in a way that made us feel uncomfortable, disrespected, and unwelcome. This experience was unacceptable, and I hope Sunglass Hut management takes this seriously and ensures that customers are treated with professionalism, respect, and basic courtesy.

I've been searching online to get an idea of some nice prescription sunglasses but that's one of those things you have to try on before you buy.

I had my prescription emailed over to me from my eye doc office in Vegas and Jojo said she'd have my sunglasses ready the next morning! I was so worried they wouldn't be ready because we were leaving town to go back home the next day. Sure enough I stopped in the next morning right after our 10am checkout and they were ready!! I'm so glad I stopped into this shop. The wide variety is hard to come across in Vegas and there's no way I would have gotten them back with prescription lenses in 24 hours.

At first, I thought maybe I had simply encountered a bad employee or an unfortunate situation. After my experience this weekend, I genuinely believe the bigger issue is that Ray-Ban has completely abandoned this location when it comes to proper training, support, and management. The two employees working there honestly looked like they had been left on a sinking ship with no one coming to help. They seemed overwhelmed and, more importantly, they clearly weren't equipped or properly trained to handle what should have been a basic transaction. How can you expect employees to provide good customer service when they aren't even given the tools or training to properly do their jobs? What makes this even more disappointing is that I don't necessarily blame the employees themselves. It felt like they were put in a position to fail. The responsibility falls on Ray-Ban and whoever is managing this location. I came in fully prepared to give Ray-Ban my money, but the experience was so frustrating that it genuinely made me question whether I even wanted to purchase from the brand anymore. Ray-Ban is a well established, recognizable company. You've built the name and the reputation, but that shouldn't mean you can stop caring about the people walking into your stores. I'm honestly in disbelief that a company of this size would allow a retail location to operate this way, especially when the Google reviews appear to show a consistent pattern of customers having similar experiences. This isn't just about one bad interaction. It's about feeling like the company simply doesn't care. Ray-Ban, please do better. Your employees deserve better support, and your customers deserve better service.

My 1st ever review :) I found sunglass plus on yelp and I made my way in because I have a "graveyard "of broken sunglasses (6pairs) in various Conditions. Some just needed screws some needed adjusted and the others needed lenses. They were able to fix ALL but one right there in the store, the ones that needed lenses they custom made for me after showing me a bunch of lens options and colors. I was able to pick them up the same day and the price was very reasonable. The last one did need be sent out to be soldered, it took a few days but it came back as good as new! The older man who works there couldn't have been nicer. Although I did not purchase my glasses there this time, I will never go any where else. (I found out while I was there that they have been in this location for more than 17 years, what a hidden gem) read more

This is only store I'll ever buy sunglasses from. I've bought three pairs here now!

Aside from all this, they fit each sunglass frame to your individual face. A++. Don't bother going anywhere else. read more

We arrived about half an hour after opening, and although they were already busy, the wait wasn't long at all. We were helped by Marco, who was courteous, friendly, and professional. My son and I have worn glasses for a combined 50+ years, and this was the first time we didn't feel rushed or pressured into choosing a particular frame, lens, or upgrade. The frame selection is excellent, and my son found one that fit him perfectly in less than 10 minutes. I was even more surprised by the price. His high-index lenses with anti-glare and another feature I can't remember cost about one-third of what I typically pay elsewhere. I was so impressed that I decided to get a pair for myself too! The best part was the turnaround time. We both wear single-vision glasses, and mine included transition lenses. By 2 p.m. that same day, I received a text saying BOTH pairs were ready! When I returned after 5 p.m., another staff member helped us and was just as courteous, professional, and friendly.
