    Gentle Monster - This isn't even the funkiest pair they have available

    Visiting Gentle Monster was definitely a unique eyewear experience. I'm not very familiar with the…read morebrand's history or story, but their designs are incredibly distinctive and at times feel very futuristic. Some of the eyewear felt a bit uncomfortable and seemed designed more to create a visual "wow" factor rather than focusing on everyday functionality or comfort. Still, it was interesting to see such bold and creative designs in person. Even though I didn't end up making a purchase, the staff was extremely professional and friendly. They checked in a few times to see if I had any questions, which made the browsing experience feel welcoming rather than pressured.

Their glasses - ranging from everyday optical frames to statements sunglasses - costs typically from $ 225 and $355 . They are crafted from premium materials like acetate and lightweight titanium . The signature sunglasses frames can be fold together to a small rectangle shape .

They are a staple in high fashion and pop culture, frequently worn by celebrities like Jennie from BLACKPINK , Rihanna and Timothee Chalamet .

    I had a very disappointing experience with Unique Eyewear…read more On February 7, I provided my prescription and was told my glasses would be ready in about 3 weeks. However, things quickly became frustrating due to constant delays and inconsistent information. On February 28, I called for an update and was told I would hear back on March 2. On March 2, they called and said the glasses would be ready by the end of that week. On March 7, I called again and was then told it would take 3-4 weeks. When I pointed out it had already been 4 weeks, they changed it again to 4-5 weeks. On March 10, they called and promised the glasses would definitely be ready by the end of that week. On March 13, they informed me that their lab had lost the frame and they needed to reorder it and resend it to the lab. They also said it was the lab's fault, not theirs. However, the lab is their partner--not something I chose--so I don't think it's appropriate to shift the responsibility to someone else. On March 16, they called again and assured me the glasses would be ready by Thursday or Friday that week. Now, more than 7 weeks have passed, and I still have not received any call to pick up my glasses. This experience has been extremely frustrating. The repeated delays, broken promises, and lack of accountability are unacceptable. I would not recommend this place to anyone looking for reliable service.

    The styles of glasses they offer are truly unique. They don't take insurance but if you calculate…read morehow much glasses cost at other places with the insurance coverage, the glasses and lenses here end up costing exactly the same. I have very high prescription with progressives and my glasses were made perfectly the first time. Wonderful.

    I had such a great experience at the Sunglass Hut in Valley Fair Mall. I worked with Chirag, who…read morewas incredibly kind, attentive, and genuinely helpful. Most of us like browsing on our own, but I came in searching for a very specific style of sunglasses--and honestly had no idea what the style was even called. I gave him the vaguest description, and somehow he pulled exactly what I was picturing. We went through several options, and he gave honest feedback, recommendations, and helped me narrow everything down to the perfect two pairs. What I appreciated most is that he wasn't pushy at all--he truly wanted me to feel confident in my choices and told me what actually looked good compared to others. The store is clean, organized, and the customer service is on point. If you're shopping for sunglasses and want someone who knows their stuff without any pressure, definitely ask for Chirag. He made the whole experience enjoyable and easy.

    I bought a pair of Dior sunglasses here in mid-December, and within the same week, one of the…read morescrews fell off. Since it had been less than a week--well within a 30-day window--I went back immediately with my receipt for a repair or assistance. To my surprise, the staff refused to help and told me I had to contact Dior directly. It is incredibly disappointing to buy a luxury product from a major retailer and receive such poor after-purchase support. I expected much better service from Sunglass Hut. Save yourself the trouble and shop elsewhere.

    So glad I found this place! I stopped in because the arm on my designer prescription sunglasses…read moreneeded to be fixed, the left arm broke and I wasn't sure if it could even be repaired. My OD tried fixing them several times and replacing the screws. It didn't work. I was in the area and thankfully still open at 5:00 pm (he's there until 6)! There was one person ahead of me in line finishing up. I was happy he was till there. He took a look at them, said he could fix them right then and there, and within a few minutes they were perfect. The arm is nice and tight again! He did give me a price quote first and thought it was reasonable, especially for being able to have it done on the spot. Just a heads-up, the location is a little different--you walk up to a window at the house, but it was super easy. I would also recommend bringing cash if you have it. I didn't, and there was a very small fee to use a credit card, which I didn't mind at all. Thank you for the great service! Fast, easy, reasonably priced and great work. I would absolutely come back and highly recommend them!
