Paris Optique

Popped in to ask for my frames to be adjusted. Nobody else was in the store, and the owner took my glasses in the back, warmed and shaped the resin a bit, came out and asked for $ 20. Yikes, in the many years I’ve worn glasses this is the very first time there has been a charge. I guess I understood this to be a courtesy, considering it takes but a few minutes, and can bring in new customers. There are some beautiful frames here, and the shop itself is exquisite, but I would take my business to a more, well… gracious proprietor.

I entered this business today and encountered the worst treatment ever in my life, by the owner Sevan. He has no respect for his customers, for his neighborhood, for his community and for his own mother! As his lovely mother tried to converse with me about community issues, he shut her up and made me feel unwelcome, essentially kicking me out of his store. Then when I called him to voice my disappointment, he unabashedly hung up the phone on me.
I am ashamed to have a fellow Armenian business owner in my neighborhood! I ask my family and friends to go elsewhere for their optical needs.

This is my go-​to place for glasses. Been coming to Sevan for my new pair every couple of years for many years. What I like is that he has good taste and makes good suggestions. Also, his prices are reasonable.

Sevan did a fantastic job. New frames plus free repair of old ones in 24 hours. Delighted with his work.

When you need glasses/​sunglasses, this place is a treat to look around. Haig will give you expert advice and give you the clearest and latest high-​technology prescription lenses.

I went to a couple shops, but couldn’t find anything I liked until I came to this store. I found the exact frames I liked, and in very high quality. The owner was very informative and helpful. This is a great place to get your first set of prescription glasses.

This is why you buy local. Sevan is wonderful. After ordering — and returning — a couple unwearable pairs of glasses from Warby Parker, I came to Sevan, who recognized that my prescription was off. He’d been working with the optometrist for years (also local) and had seen the same issue before. With a new prescription, he fitted new lenses for me, free of charge: twice. (The optometrist had also made an error measuring for cylinder.) Both times he was quick and more than happy to help. Really above and beyond service, and beautiful frames. I’m glad to have Sevan in the neighborhood.

Don’t ever go here. They are nasty.

I went to Paris Optique at the recommendation of a friend and had the best eye glass experience I’ve had in forty years. From the attention I received from Sevan, you would think I was getting fitted for a custom-​made suit. He listened to what I was looking for and began showing various frames without rushing, until I was perfectly happy. I have worn my new glasses now for over a week and am very happy with them.

My Ray-Ban’s fell apart of me and the worker there was super polite and said he can fix it for a small fee. Within minutes he was able to repair my sweet glasses. I also noticed they had a large selection of Persol sunglasses (which I love) Will be returning!

I have been wearing prescription glasses for the past 20 years. Sevan of Paris Optique provided the finest eyewear and best service. His attention to detail is amazing. I had the frames and he filled the prescription for the lenses His attention to detail as he tried them on me was impressive. I have never had glasses that felt so natural and good. My eyes actually feel soothed by wearing these new glasses. Thank you Sevan. You are pure genius. I highly recommend. Jody Hoelle, Los Feliz

Haig is an artist. he has fitted me, my mother, father and husband and satisfied all of us with his exquisite attention to detail and vast knowledge! The comment i hear most when i am in the shop browsing is «this place is fantastic.» He combines Style, Science and basic good taste to find the right glasses. And his ability to fit complicated lenses is just a wonder. i will literaly go nowhere else for optical needs than Paris Optique!

I called there to get a quote on lenses (I had the frames already). Numerous places had given me quotes over the phone and none had refused, but the man who answered told me he couldn’t tell me w/​o seeing the frames. So I said a general estimate would be fine (I know my prescription and exactly what I need) but he still said No and jumped right to a complaint that they were closed (why did he answer the phone then?) and that if I came in ‘tomorrow’ he could give me a price. I thought aloud, Hmm, I can’t come tomorro— and then he cut me off, and in the bitchiest voice said, ‘SORREEEEEEE!!‘
And that was that.
So I got my lenses elsewhere aaaand have no need ever to return there. dd
I suppose they make all their money on frames and not as much on lenses, but I really think if you’re going to answer the phone at a business, customer service should be a strong point of yours.

I was implored to go here by an acquaintance of mine. I have a pair of vintage Ray-​Bans circa 1970 that needed to be adjusted. He did this in 10 minutes for $ 10, and they are perfectly fitted to me now. I would come back again for sure!

Our whole family have been going to Paris Optique since 1992.
This boutique shop is nestled in a trendy and very popular section of Los Felix.
Sevan who owns the shop, is very knowledgeable and extremely patient. He takes his time to help you pick the right frame. The store carries a great selection of designer names both sunglass and eyeglass.
My favorite sunglasses are the Ray Ban (Tom Cruise Risky Business) and Persol.
What impress me the most about this shop, Sevan know his customers and gives each the utmost personal attention and care. To me that’s the perfect customer satisfaction !!

I discovered the wonderful, independently-​owned Paris Optique when a friend bought his specs there. What impressed me most was the care, attention and precision the owner Sevan showed to my friend. He was so exacting. He took pride in what he was doing and he wanted to make certain that the frames and correction lenses were PERFECT, not just the usual «L.A. OK.»
We took about twenty photos of different frames and Sevan even helped comment on what the frames did in terms of «looks» and function. Great!
Once I had my new eye exam, I took in my old frames and Sevan spent so much time measuring, adjusting, refining, that once again I was impressed by the pride he takes in his work. That’s rare these days.
He didn’t press me to buy anything else, which I also liked. When I asked for suggestions, though, he brought out six new frames, four of which were so perfect for me, they could have been custom-​made. Great taste. He also has a sly, offbeat sense of humor that made me laugh.
Having said that, both times I’ve been in his shop, customers wandered in from Hillhurst who were off-​the-​charts rude, entitled and full of that «me, Me, ME» ‘tude that, if I were a shop owner, would make me want to show them the door. Or more to the point, kick them and their spoiled, sour asses to the curb. The city is full of them. Anyway, the owner was appropriate, but he clearly knows how to spot someone who is just plain troubled and looking for an excuse to complain about, well, anything.
This is where I’ll always go for frames and lenses from here on in.

As a longtime customer of Paris Optique I have always found Sevan to be friendly and engaging, helpful but not intrusive. I always go back. And the prices are great particularly for Los Feliz.

I found a pair of glasses here that I would have considered purchasing. When I attempted to take a photo of myself wearing them, however, I was scolded by the proprietors, and told that photos weren’t permitted. They said I had to make my decision in the store. So many optical shops offer photos for their clients as standard practice. I told them I would be taking my business elsewhere. Horrible customer service.
