i’ve known marcia and dr. bill since i was about 10 years old (almost 30 years ago!) and have been buying glasses from them since about age 16.
they’re an incredible staff through and through and go above and beyond for their clients. very thorough eye exams, a beautiful collection of classic and funky designer glasses, and they’ve happily put lenses in glasses that i haven’t purchased from them, some delicate and vintage.
marcia is incredible at giving advice about which glasses flatter and which don’t, and is a WIZARD at adjusting fit - plus she’s a lovely human being.
I needed my first pair of glasses on very short notice, and the team at Shades exceeded all expectations. With their expert guidance, I found the perfect pair that not only fit me well but also looked fantastic. The process was incredibly smooth and my glasses were ready in just two days. The level of service was outstanding, and their curated selection as well as expertise ensured I left with something stylish and high-quality. If you're looking for glasses, Shades is the only place you need to go!

The problem? A smooshed and unfortunately bent pair of glasses, no longer shaped to fit my face. To my complete shock, I had forgotten what they were supposed to feel like when properly fitted and simply... read full review
