Expressions In Eyewear

I’ve gotten two pairs of glasses from this shop. I wanted to go with a local frameshop for my new glasses instead of going with my optometrist’s office or just picking something up at Costco. I happened to stumble on this place completely by accident, and left very pleased with my experience!
The owner, Glenn, introduced himself and his business as being «Hands-​on» with customers to help them find the best pair of glasses that fit their face, even if it’s not a style and/​or color they’d normally pick. I’ll admit, I was a bit scared of potentially pushy sales tactics, but that ended up being a needless worry.
Glenn himself has plenty of experience in the science behind color theory and how it applies to not only appearance and fashion, but how it subtly affects our subconscious. As a graphic designer and science nerd myself, I was happy to let him geek out on me about why he selected certain frames for my consideration.
I tried on probably 50 pairs of frames during my first visit, and using Glenn’s elimination method, narrowed my choice down to four frames in about 10 – 15 minutes. I ended up choosing a pair that was similar in style to ones I’ve worn in the past, but a different color pattern that ended up fitting in well with my wardrobe without being overly flashy.
My second visit I went in for some prescription sunglasses and am very happy with the results. I love the variety of options available in terms of coatings, production methods (Digital versus traditional), and just variety of styles in general. Prices range from affordable to high-​end designer.
Expression’s turnaround time is pretty fast, too — my primary glasses came in about 3 days after ordering, and my polarized prescription sunglasses in about 5 business days.

Usually I don’t write reviews online, but I wanted to spread the words about how great this store is!
Well, my old frame is broken and I wanted to resize my existing lenses and fit them into another frame I brought. But it is really difficult to find a store in the greater Seattle area that does this, and getting a new pair of lenses would cost me an arm and a leg. Luckily I found this one after searching for a long time. I don’t live in Woodinville, so i drove 30 miles up there. The store looks nice and has an inhouse lab. They also sell lenses, frames and provide eyeglass repair (yes, one-​stop shopping). The lady in there was very friendly and polite. She helped to measure the distance between my pupils and told me they would call me in an hour once my glasses is ready. Also, they didn’t charge me anything until the job is done. About an hour later, I got their call and was happy to know that the lenses fit well. My husband picked up my glasses and paid $ 39 for the resizing. $ 39 instead of several hundreds bulks! ! Thank you for saving my day Expressions in Eyewear!
I am 100% pleased with the services I received, and highly recommend this store!

I have shopped for eyeglass frames and prescription lenses with Glenn (the owner) and Katherine (the store manager) for years now. Glenn guided me to some more stylish frames (replacing my Costco specials) and I really liked the results. Katherine has worked with me in getting to know about the new types of lenses available. She got me to try Hoya progressive lenses. I was shocked at the clarity of my vision with these lenses, not just at the center of the lens, but also up and down & left and right in the periphery areas. Hoyas are amazing (the full visual clarity also eliminated the weird visual effect of seemingly stepping off a much deeper drop off when walking down stairs!). The folks at Expressions in Eyewear have spent time with me, explaining the benefits of these lenses, helping me find the right frames for my face, and I have always felt well-​taken care of with them. I love the service and all of the recommendations they’ve made for me. They are not cheap (Costco is cheap, but Costco has made some glasses for me in the past with terrible errors in the prescription), but you get what you pay for. If you wear glasses every waking moment of every day as I do, you need high quality glasses that allow you to clearly see everything you need to see and look good in the process. These folks strongly emphasize customer service and will take good care of you, too.
