fey was super helpful adjusting and cleaning a few pairs of my glasses! really appreciate the skill and the service.

I unfortunately don't remember the representative's name but the guy with blonde hair that helped me was really great and had excellent customer service skills! I appreciated his knowledge around frames, lenses, shipping, and even support around insurance reimbursement! Those extra steps he took to ensure that I understood when my glasses would come in and even helped connect me with another staff member to repair a previous pair of glasses was above and beyond. 10/10 recommend and I am excited waiting for my new sunnies & eye glasses. read more

Both Chris B. and Chris C. were super helpful! I recently lost my old reliable shades, so I popped right in for my replacement. The staff were personable and provided super fast service! Within 10 minutes I was able to repurchase the same exact sunglasses I had bought in 2022 and have them sized properly for my face. The chain has always been super reliable and always provided me consistent great service. I will definitely continue to be a loyal customer to this amazing chain. They even have an awesome return policy if you aren't satisfied, but I have never used it because I am always happy with their shades! read more

EDIT: just found out they should have checked my vision insurance to see if i was eligible for coverage and they did NOT. So i paid full price despite not having to. I'm giving 1.5 stars instead of 1 solely because the in-store staff has always been friendly and helpful. However, Warby Parker's process and structure as well as their customer service have serious flaws that need addressing. I came in to finalize purchasing two pairs of glasses. After trying on a bunch more and completing the purchase then taking the bus home, I realized I hadn't received an order confirmation email. When I called customer service, they confirmed no order existed but somehow had no way to contact the store except by email. How is it possible customer service agents for a brick a primarily mortar store cannot contact those stores for a customer issue?!? Since I needed the glasses urgently for a trip, I paid for an Uber back to the store. The associate had failed to input my email correctly and never verified the order processed--critical errors despite her otherwise helpful service. The manager handled the situation professionally but refused (or claimed she couldn't) offer any discount to compensate for the $35 in Uber costs caused entirely by their mistake. Warby Parker needs to fix these systemic issues: stores should have authority to offer discretionary discounts when their errors cause customers financial harm, and customer service must be able to directly contact stores. I won't be returning.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ read more

I heard great things about Warby Parker. I was looking to purchase 2 pair of progressive glasses with transition lenses. We were the only people in the store around noon on Saturday. There were 5(?) staff members hanging around chatting with each other. I tried on around 10 pairs of glasses, about 15 minutes. Not one employee greeted us or helped us in any way. They greeted and helped the 2 customers who came in after us. The only communication we had with the staff was when one employee said have a nice day as we were leaving. Very disappointed. read more

This location has very good customer service. I have purchased glasses here twice and have been happy with the service I received. Friendly and efficient as well as helpful, read more

The opticians and the people that they have that fit the glasses are incompetent... How can you fit a pair of glasses without ever leaving your chair? You try on the glasses you assume that it will be expertly fit to your face and not sit on your cheeks and not pinch once they are adjusted... But again the people that they have never come out from behind the partition and sit while they adjust your glasses based on what, your comments? It's the hottest thing ever and I've struggled with several pairs of glasses, actually fitting after I purchased them... Yes, they have a return policy, but this has been a waste of time mostly read more

I want to shout out Brandon and the team at Warby Parker. I took a fall on the corner, hit my head and knocked my glasses out of whack. I knew they were just down the block. My friend helped me in. I must have looked frightful. They stepped right up. Took my glasses, adjusted them. Showed me where the sink was, offered first aid and were so kind. I've been buying my glasses at Warby Parker for at least 10 years and will continue to support this business. Thank you everyone who helped me that day. read more

I found Warby to be fairly affordable compared to other options and I really like their selection. Since I was looking for both computer glasses and everyday glasses, buying 2 pairs was a good deal. The glasses took a little longer than expected for delivery and it took me another visit to have my glasses fitted. I went to the Santana Row location for my fitting which was super quick with friendly staff. read more

I just got back from Warby Parkey in Hayes Valley. I had 2 older pairs of sunglasses I purchased there 4 years ago that I didn't have much hope for as they were quite dirty and the screws were not able to be tightened. However, I got amazing help from Fey P , who brought both pairs back to life including replacing the nose pads, screws and cleaning them thoroughly. Both of them basically look brand new. I will say that anytime I've gone into this location, i've received excellent help. i highly recommend read more

Warby Parker is great for sunglasses. They have very stylish frames at reasonable prices. The service is super friendly. You do sometimes have to wait for someone to help you but they are always super efficient. Their warranty policy is amazing. My son broke his glasses and they gave him a new frame for free because they said it was a defect. He then lost those glasses in the ocean (a long story) and we got a replacement pair within 3 days in the mail. Not free but much better than being blind. Warby Parker will make you happy. Just go. read more

Popped in one random Thursday after work to check out sunglasses. We weren't expecting to buy anything, but we loved the selection they had and also the workers helped us so much with recommendations and showing us all the various frames that would suite my partner's face. We ended up deciding on a pair, unfortunately they didn't have any in stock, but they ordered it for us with free shipping to our apartment! read more

I've used Rory Parker glasses before, and I find that the quality is really good because the lenses actually don't stain very easily. But I walked in this time and asked the receptionist if I could order contact lenses. Unfortunately, the store doesn't have any doctor at the site that I went to, and so they asked me to bring a prescription from any other doctor. They could help us fill the orders, but I felt like that was really necessary because then I could just do it online myself. A lady working there actually mentioned that because I have a stronger prescription, I should bring my prescription from another doctor and come into the retail store if I want to buy glasses. She mentioned that sometimes online quality isn't so accurate. I gave them one last star mostly because I don't think it's really smart that they don't have a doctor on these sites, and the nearest location that she mentioned was Berlin game which is fine but for we're living in the city that's a little bit inconvenient. That being said, I think the glasses and the brand definitely hold up to their value, and I think that there were a lot of people available to help us at the store as well. read more

Customer service was great. Thank you, Marissa. I did a walk in on a Friday at 515PM. I went in and chose the frames I wanted. In total it cost me $145 because I also included the high index lenses. Not sure if it's worth it but whatever. I'll see. Thank you for the affordable glasses. read more

I came here for new glasses and stopped in several times before deciding on a pair to buy. There's so many options it's hard to choose. Several different employees helped me each time and everyone was very nice, super knowledgeable, and really helpful with different options and opinions. Glasses are really affordable and customer service is great too. You can return within 30 days if you don't like them and can have frames delivered to try at home before purchasing. They're also easy to work with submitting to insurance and even if they're out of network it's still an easy process. Definitely a great store and recommend. read more

So this is how the cool kids do it, alrighty then. Following all COVID precautions, once entering the Warby Parker store, a sales associate takes your temperature, asks you to answer a few questions and sterilize your hands with no-touch spray sanitizer. Then, you're walked to the vast displays and, with some help from a sales associate, try on as many pairs as your heart desires. Rather than returning the glasses to the shelf, you place them in a white bin where they'll be sanitized before being returned to the display case. I like how clean and organized the process was. I ended up choosing two pairs of glasses, one with a cool indigo color lining the inside frame and the other, tortoiseshell. No fuss, they took care of getting my prescription and in two or three weeks, my new glasses will be mailed to me. With nearly 200 stores, it seems Warby Parker's pretty accessible across the country but if you're more decisive than I am or just can't spare the time, you can pick five frames to try on at home. read more

Just to preface this, I want to say I called and visited 4 Optical stores before I visited Warby Parker. All the stores were a little reluctant to help given the nature of my situation. Warby Parker of the Hayes Valley. I've never heard of them before. I went in. I was greeted by Chris. He deserves and gets five stars for his service. I explained the situation: I broke my frames, but the lenses were fine. I was hoping to find new frames that fit the particular shape of my lenses. He found it! I was elated. He was easy and nice to deal with. I went my merry way. Peace, Chris. Thanks a lot! :-) read more

Love both lenses I got! The staff put up with me trying on multiple lenses too many times. I love that they have narrow, medium, and wide options for most styles. I got a pair of reading lenses and they have blue light blocking technology options, which is great for work. I also got prescription lenses added for my sunglasses, with a special color as well, and you can't tell they are prescription. They shape the glasses for you in store to make sure they fit. I will be buying all my glasses from them in future. read more

When I reached out to Warby about my issues all they could do was give me a $20 coupon to use toward another purchase. But I don't want to buy anything from them! I paid over $700 for two frames with progressive lenses. One was so uncomfortable and heavy that I could not even wear them! The other had lenses that began to yellow and crack after less than a year. Horrendous quality control. YOU ARE BETTER OFF GOING TO COSTCO! Their prescription frames are literally HALF THE PRICE of Warby. And, unlike Warby, they offer full-guarantees and even the option to return! Plus they carry all the name brands like Ray-Bans, Ben Sherman, etc, etc. Simply no reason on earth to go to Warby Parker, except to be duped. AVOID THIS SHOP LIKE THE PLAGUE...BUBONIC PLAGUE 2ND GEN. read more

Great styles, friendly professional staff, however the quality of the frames is not poor and they add multiple extra fees to the lenses, which other stores do not, making them much more expensive. read more

I came here to explore options for getting a frame and spoke with the manager. I forget her name, but she was short, white and I believe blond/lighter hair. Her attitude towards me said it all. I was not sure if she was suffering from breathing air, but I wanted detailed info on a frame (my first ever), her indifference has made me forever NOT a WP customer. I walked around the shop a bit more after this interaction and heard her speaking with her staff in the same manner. Corporate, have you looked into this individual? read more

I hope they are investing all their money in online tools. They clearly don't invest at all in designing their showroom or training their staff. Don't bother going into this show room; it is just an exercise in frustration. I went to select and buy new glasses. There were five or six staff and only one other customer. I had to ask multiple times to get anyones attention. He didn't answer my questions, or help me sort out what product might work best for me. He just walked by displays and waved at glasses. I asked what frames came in wide. He assured that they had some, then pointed quickly to two frames, "this one is wide and this one is wide." Neither were at all appealing to me but that seemed to be the extent of his knowledge on wide frames. I'll try their online fitting and see if that works. It couldn't be worse than the showroom. read more

Suuuch a good experience!! Everyone was so friendly and took the time to interact with me. There are multiple walls filled with a variety of selections, it was hard to pick my favorite frame! Received my glasses last week but was unhappy with how the pattern turned out, I emailed customer service and they immediately started an exchange! I received my new pair 5 days later and I am so happy with it. I ended up getting Esme and the quality feels soooo durable. The glasses are extremely comfortable and doesn't give me a headache. Also... the glasses case is SO cute! read more

Staff: disinterested, lacking the most basic knowledge about glasses, rude. Me: ask salesperson where acetate sunglasses are. She walks me over to some shelves. I take a quick look, turn around to ask a question. SHE'S GONE. Me: go find salesperson. Tell her I'm looking for glasses with a NARROW BRIDGE, ABOUT 18-20 MM. Salesperson asks "What shape?" i tell her shape doesn't matter, I want a NARROW BRIDGE. She hands me a pair of glasses, says "Here. try these on. THEY'RE 48 MM". SHE DOESN'T KNOW THE MEANING OF "BRIDGE". AND SHE WORKS AT A PLACE THAT SELLS GLASSES. Me: that's width of the lens, not the bridge. Her: "WHAT STYLE ARE YOU LOOKING FOR?" She doesn't know that the size of the bridge has NOTHING to do with the size of width of the lens. I tell her she can leave. Me: I find a couple of pairs of glasses that look promising but I want to see how well the lenses work in the sunshine. I go up to the counter to ask if it's OK to take them up to the door to try them in the sunshine. The guy at the desk tells me everyone's busy and someone will be free in a little while. I repeat my request. Same answer. SEEMS HE THINKS I'M GOING TO STEAL THE GLASSES UNLESS SOMEONE WALKS ME TO THE FRONT DOOR TO TRY THE SUNGLASSES IN THE SUN. Nope, not planning to go back. read more

The place itself is really cute. Open space with glasses on display. The staff was very friendly and helpful. There were a bunch of techs hanging around ready to help and answer any questions.

I'm happy she was able to pick something different! read more

Decided to try Warby Parker out in Hayes Valley. The store is small but cozy and welcoming. The first thing I noticed was a strong smell that made me nauseous. I think they have a plug in, or some sort of scent wafting thru the store. I decided to stay as I needed some frames. A young salesperson asked if I needed help. She was very kind and patient and made a few suggestions. Unfortunately they didn't have the frames I wanted in stock. I asked her if she could call the Burlingame location and she said, I believe so. She went up to her manager and asked, she came back and said unfortunately we can't call. I couldn't believe the lack of customer service. I don't blame the salesperson, again, she was very sweet and helpful but the manager / supervisor is another story. Do yourself a favor and go elsewhere !!! read more

Long time Warby Parker customer, and have had good experiences with their customer service and stores in other cities when travelling, but have never had a great experience here. Today, however, the service was unhelpful and uninformed and moved rapidly from disinterested to actively rude. I'd advise you to go with the home try-on option and website rather than go out of your way to a brick and mortar location that seems uninterested in adding any value beyond what you get online. read more

I bought a pair of glasses about two years ago. They were great fitting and survived my dog chewing on them. I unfortunately stepped on them not too long ago, and they were a little bent, which gave me an excuse to buy new glasses. I bought a second pair from this store and my interactions with the staff were amazing. I asked about my old bent glasses and if they could be fixed, and they said, "Of course, bring them on in." So I brought them in and they replaced fixed my frames for free in store! It was quick and easy. I really appreciated them offering to fix them in store. read more

Getting glasses for the first time in my life was something I had definite apprehensions about. Concerns such as: how uncomfortable would glasses feel on my face all the time... would they slip down my nose constantly... could I possibly find a pair that looked good on me... Concerns that amplified trying to figure out which place to get my glasses from. I decided to give Warby Parker Hayes Valley a chance... and I'm so glad I did. My experience there was truly outstanding thanks to Nic, the optician who helped me. From the beginning, she listened, she was patient, and so helpful wihen I asked her questions. After trying on several pairs of glasses, and buying two pairs- it was actually the pair that she suggested which is now my absolute favorite pair of glasses. On a return visit, I needed a second pair I had purchased slightly adjusted, and Nic took one look at how the frame sat on my face, and fixed them perfectly! Nic is an exceptional optician, and thanks to her, my experience at Warby Parker Hayes Valley could not have been better and alleviated every single one of my concerns. Thank you, Nic and thank you Warby Parker. I will definitely be back! read more

Worst customer service... I waited nearly an hour while an employee talked to a friend. I was finally asked if I needed help, but it was almost closing and I didn't want to be rushed. read more

I love Warby Paker but I am at my wits end. I dropped off my glasses to have new lenses put in for a new prescription. I was told a 7 to 10 Business day turn around. I found out today they just received my order and will tae another 10 business days to turn around this is utter BS. When lens crafters etc can turn things around in less than a day. I did call and they are going to get it turned around sooner and give me a small refund. That's all great and I appreciate it but the lack of communication and nowhere on the site can you look up progress. Get your shit together folks you've got great product. Wake UP!!! read more

I just got home from Warby Parker Hayes Valley and had to write a review about the excellent customer service I experienced. Every person who worked there was friendly, helpful, cheerful and extremely patient. There was a customer in the store who was needed some extra help understanding the process of ordering prescription glasses, and the person who helped them was so kind, and understanding. I usually hate buying glasses. It takes me ages to choose because I can't see well, and it becomes frustrating quickly. I was out of the store within an hour with all three pairs of glasses I needed, and I love them! No body tried to upsell anything. I will go back to this store again for sure. read more

My brother and sister suggested this place to me. Before I went, I looked through their online store and browsed through their selection of glasses. They've got a bunch of cute styles for both men/women. They had an option to try the glasses at home. I think they send you five pairs for free to try on and then you make your selection from there! I thought that was great, but since SF has their very own WP location, I decided it'd be easier to go in store and have the whole collection right in front of me! Very clean interior with a huge selection of sunglasses/glasses. They were grouped by style and most glasses were $95! $95 for frame AND prescription with no tax? I was shocked at how cheap that was in comparison to what I've been paying at Kaiser all these years. I tried tons of different frames, but I ended up choosing Louise which was more of a cat eye shape. It was a super easy process ordering it too. I just told em which one I wanted, handed them my prescription, they did some measurements, and now I just have to wait 7-10 days for them to arrive in the mail! Overall, super affordable cute glasses. I would highly recommend getting your glasses here! Don't forget to bring your prescription with you :) read more

I've been a Warby Parker fangirl for years. I've tried the Home Try-On option -- where they send you five frames for you to try -- a few times. And while I liked the looks of many of the frames, I knew that to find my best fit I would likely have to go to a retail location, where I could try on more than five at a time. So when I visited San Francisco, I finally had the opportunity to do this. And less than 15 minutes after stepping inside the door, I left, having ordered my first new pair of glasses in more than five years. (Yeah, I know. Eep!) The staff was beyond courteous, giving my boyfriend and I the lay of the land. All of the frames pretty much run from $95 to $145. I also like that they are unisex, meaning I had the entire store to choose from. And let's talk about the store itself for a sec. It's designed impeccably. As you would imagine, it's a hipster haven, given that WP is a particular draw for the hipsters. There are just as many books on display -- organized by color -- as there are glasses. There is a lounge area in case the strain of picking out some glasses becomes too much. And the exterior boasts a fun blue and white mural. But back to the glasses. From browsing and talking to the WB employees -- who were quick to jump in and help -- I now know that I look best in low-bridge glasses. My eyes are a bit higher compared to where my nose is on my face. They have a section just for low-bridge glasses, and in the end, I chose the Collis frames in the translucent "lavender crystal." I gave the employee my prescription info, and she quickly filled out my needed info, and the glasses were ordered. I was told they would take 7-10 days to arrive at my doorstep. They made it to me in five. And now I can see again. I've received several compliments on my new glasses, and when I order my next pair -- in less than five years, I'm sure -- it will be with WP. read more

I purchased from this location for the first time last year. Today, I visited again, and Matthew was a very friendly and helpful optician who helped find frames that I noticed on the website but did not seem to be available in the store. He found them in the inventory and even recommended other styles he thought may interest me. He's definitely the most helpful optician I've encountered in the store and in San Francisco bay area for the last five years. I ended up going with one of the frames he recommended over what I thought I was going to buy. Ask for Matthew! read more
