Never been one to write reviews but the owner is literally the BEST at his job and all his recommendations looked great. He was super friendly and helpful and we ended up getting two pairs of glasses. Am definitely coming back read more

My husband forgot his sunglasses on a recent road trip so he was kind of in a pinch. We found this place on a Google search so thought we'd try. Unfortunately gas station sunglasses don't typically work for my husband so we knew we'd need a more specialized selection. Thankfully we came here. The owner is who helped us. My husband told him what he was looking for in terms of needs, style, and price (we're the kind of people who can't do polarized) and the owner got it on the 2nd set. He also noticed my 7+ year old raybans and offered to help me get a new pair. I wasn't looking since I wear prescription. However, he had the same style I wear, in a size 55 instead of my size 52, and he offered it for a deal I honestly couldn't say no to. So we DID end up leaving with a pair of oakleys and a pair of Ray-Bans despite that not being the plan. Our only recommendation is if you're looking for non polarized, this shop is limited in its selection. We were lucky but I don't think everyone would be as fortunate to find what they need. read more

The owner of this store is super helpful and skilled! I had spent a few months trying to replace my cheap Target sunglasses with no luck. Immediately after walking into Always Sunglasses, he looked at my face and picked out the PERFECT pair for me! Excellent service, transparency with pricing, I cannot recommend enough. read more

Bo, the owner, was very kind and understanding. I had my Raybans sunglasses that were broken- the screw fell out on the left side and he was able to put it back together. He even tightened both sides of the sunglasses, so this would not happen again. Great service and did not offer to charge for the fix, would highly recommend! read more

I stopped in the store today to repair my Ray-Bans. I pin came out of one of the arms. Bo fixed it quickly, by removing a pin from another pair of Ray-Bans (apparently, they are specific to the brand). He finished the job in less than two minutes and wouldn't take any payment. Such a great way to build loyalty. I'll be back! read more

The owner is incredibly friendly and helpful. They have a solid selection and the prices aren't crazy. Definitely recommend.

This is a friendly shop with great customer service. We popped in to check out what was new. The prices are fair and they've got a nice variety of sunnies to compliment all features. Unfortunately, we couldn't buy anything, but the owner Bo told us that the Hollywood strike has really bitten into their bottom line - and that included our inability to afford 'stuff'. The studios are literally trying to starve ALL businesses in CA... especially small businesses. So if you find yourself in Solvang, go buy some sunglasses from these guys! read more

We were in Solvang for the weekend and came across Always Sunglasses. In addition to having an amazing selection, the owner Bo, was extremely helpful. He even adjusted an old pair of sunglasses to improve the fit - no charge. Definitely worth stopping in if you are looking for new sunglasses! read more

Like in their name they "Always" have what you're looking for! It is nice to go and try on several pairs of sunglasses to see how they fit and look. It can be tough to buy sunglasses online especially if you have never seen them in person. The prices are great the service is great! They have a huge selection of all the popular brands and styles to check out. read more

Just some of the friendless and kind owners. I love buying my sunglasses from them!!!!!! Go and visit them!! read more

My friend and I walked into the store and wondered if they could help with the nose pads that needed a fix on my friend's sunglasses. The owner was very kind and courteous, fixed the glasses quickly, and refused to take the payment. Thank you so much sir, we really appreciated the service and the kindness! read more

While visiting Solvang, the arm on my wife's glasses had come loose. I stopped and Bo helped me straight away. Great shop with lots of high end and designer eyewear. I would recommend a look. read more

My Husband and I were there last weekend and stopped in to look around. Bo and his wife greeted us and were extremely friendly. I noticed my lens from my sunglasses I had just bought back home were coming out. Bo fixed it with ease and gave me tips on what not to do so it doesn't happen again. Thank you for being kind and helpful! read more

Wandered in here randomly on a weekend getaway and just wanted to say how great the owner Bo was! I ended up leaving with two pairs of beautiful Versace sunglasses. The customer service is unparalleled and they have a good selection of designer glasses. Very knowledgeable, patient, helpful and kind. If you're in the market for a new pair, this is definitely the place to go! One of the more pleasant shopping experiences I've had in a while. Thank you! read more

I live in Solvang. Twice now, the shop's owner, Bo, wouldn't accept payment for adjusting a pair of eyeglasses for me. I didn't even purchase them from him. He is so gracious and joyful and he has as wide a selection as any big city sunglasses store. They have frequent special promotions and the store sales are beyond belief! When you next visit our "Little Copenhagen", pop in to see what deals are being offered. You just may be exuberantly surprised and you will go home looking like a movie star in your new sunglasses! read more

Nice little shop in the middle of solvang! I was pleasantly surprised to pass by this place as I was on my way to the clothing store next door. (The Ray Ban sale sign got me) I walked in and the owner greeted me immediately. I wanted a new pair of Persol's but unfortunately they do not carry Persol. Looked around for the Ray Bans and realized they had the style I wanted, but not the polarized. (I know I'm picky with my choices!) the owner offered to order the polarized version of the ray bans I wanted but I got kind of excited and wanted glasses immediately. I looked around the store and the owner asked what I was looking for. He then showed me this gorgeous pair of Prada round sunglasses that I was looking for, and polarized too! I went around the store just to peruse a bit and honestly couldn't think of another pair that I wanted. I bought them immediately. Really happy with my choice, and the owner was incredibly helpful and nice! He knows what he is talking about. He offered me fixing on my lenses if I needed it and said I could keep in touch with him should I need anything else. I talked to him about his family and felt really warm and welcomed! Really happy I came in here. I'm not one to purchase glasses straight from retail but I felt like he was genuine and I felt like I was making a good choice. Also learned he's new to the area, so looking forward to visit again soon!! read more

Bought my glasses from Bo in October of 2022 and he was very helpful! Recently broke them and went back to him to see if there was anything he could do. He replaced the broken part right then and there. 10/10 would recommend this shop and Bo! read more

Very happy to visit this shop. Bo was very helpful and had a pretty good variety. He was also kind enough to help me with a subclass repair part I needed. read more

Best sunglasses store in town! Excellent customer service and very friendly to out of town visitors:) A screw came out on a pair of our sunglasses and he immediately fixed it for us. Definitely worth checking out!! read more

Buddy of mine got a pair of these sick shades and after inferring to where he acquired them he sent me on my way to Always Sunglasses. After arriving, Bo and his wife helped me find my perfect pair of sunglasses that are not only effective, but also make me look good wearing them! Very stylish inventory! My phones camera is busted but here's a pic of my buddy Derek wearing his Always Sunglasses sunglasses! Lookin' good Derek! read more

Great place! My husband needed a repair on his sunglasses and the owner would not let us pay. Believe me that kind of customer service goes along way. He was super nice so we highly recommend stopping in if you forgot your sunglasses!! read more

Just wanted to give a shout out to Bo and his wife, and two cute little kids who were also in store when I arrived, at Always Sunglasses on Mission. Awhile back dropped my Persol's and shattered a lens(OUCH!), then the other one when trying to remove it haha. Finally got the replacements from the manufacturer and was having an impossible time getting them in myself here at home, afraid I'd either snap the glass or the frames, so drove over and within 5 minutes they were looking brand new again. Know where I'll be getting my next pair when the time comes, said if they don't have a desired style in stock it can easily be ordered too. Time to support the small businesses, not the Luxottica branded ones like Sunglass Hut/LensCrafters etc.(they seriously own nearly everyting in that world). Even got to share a little space/rocket talk, good stuff! read more

I took my GF into Always Sunglasses because I wanted to get her a new pair of sunglasses AND I prefer to shop local.... As we walked in, the gentleman sitting at the counter greeted us very kindly. Bo was his name and he turned out to be the owner. He was very knowledgeable about his products and as opposed to BS'ing us on a few questions he did not have the answer to, he immediately would go look it up. That's very much appreciated. I'd highly recommend supporting this business. We need more friendly businesses that offer both locals and tourists great service. Thanks Bo.... See you soon. read more

I walked in hoping to repair my sunglasses and within 3 minutes Bo had them fixed. He was incredibly kind and gave us recommendations to eat/drink/hang in the neighborhood. Thanks again!! read more

Decided to make a trip up to Solvang today. Sadly, I woke up to my glasses being broken. Although my glasses were broken, I still decided to bring them with me on the trip to Solvang to find an eyeglass shop there to repair them. Thankfully I was able to find this eyeglass shop & personally met the owner of the shop. The owner was a very nice and humble person in helping me repair my glasses. Highly recommend his shop to buy some glasses & or for minor glasses repairs. Thank you for the help Cheers read more

Brought in my busted up Ray-Bans this afternoon, looking to replace them with a similar model. Not only did they have the same model but polarized, which was an upgrade I sorely needed, but he actually was able to somehow fix my original Ray-Bans as well! I was ready to toss them when I brought them in as I thought they were not repairable in the state they were in. I basically felt like I walked out with two pairs of sunglasses for the price of one. Also they're dog friendly which is always a huge plus with me as I try to take my Malinois everywhere I can :) read more

Great shop with a really nice selection of eyewear. I needed a repair on my Oakley prescription sunglasses. The gentleman that helped me was very kind and got my glasses repaired in just a few minutes. I asked how much and he replied "Merry Christmas, pass on the favour!" read more

Bo was very helpful and extremely friendly, helping me get some lenses replaced. I highly recommend going to him. Will definitely be back!

Truly horrible customer service, an older employee fought with a customer upon entering asking about sunglasses. It was clear that the employees are not knowledgeable about the products they sell. I would fully recommend going elsewhere. read more

Our entire vacation was cancelled due to hurricane Dorian and we decided to take a small trip to solvang from Los Angeles. A small screw fell out of my ray-bands and the gentleman working was extremely helpful and took the time for free to look through multiple screws to find one that matched and fix my sunglasses for the rest of my trip. While he fixed the sunglasses, we chatted and he went above and beyond your generic customer service to hear about our cancelled trip, give us advice on how to contact the companies and then even listed multiple recommendations for dinner places in the evening and some wine tasting spots. Would completely recommend coming here with their large selection of sunglasses as well the outstanding and personalized customer service read more

Family owned business. Very friendly customer service. Big choice of brands and sunglasses models including kids models. Owner has big knowledge and experience and will advise you to pick sunglasses which suits you the most. If you are looking for sunglasses I'm strongly recommending this place! read more

Bo is great, he knows what he is talking about when he gave us info. about Maui Jim's. He gave us a great price and even tightened my glasses. We had a great conversation about a book I'm writing and he couldn't have been nicer! read more

Great store and huge selection of Maui Jim's!!!! Really nice owner and just a great store all around. Thank you for all the help. read more

Came in on Valentines weekend. My wife got glasses last time we visited so it was my turn. Bo set me up with a great new pair of Serengettis! Beautiful and super clear. Thanks read more

Fabulous store! Great selection and prices. Many high end designers to choose from, along with more affordable options. Bo, the owner, was very helpful, knowledgeable and friendly. I told him what I was looking for and he found some perfect options. He was very nice and I felt no pressure to buy. I did find the perfect pair! I love them and will definitely be back! read more

They did an amazing job fixing my sons glasses for me. So nice and great customer service!

I was in true need of some shades last summer and decided to try my luck in Solvang after getting beamed during lunch. The prospects seemed grim until I stepped into Always Sunglasses - I wanted quality! The associate Bo was helpful, found a nice pair. Fast forward several months and I'm missing a nose pad from repeated drops so I called in and Bo went above and beyond. Not only did he send replacement nose pads, the box he sent had a brand new pair of Serengeti's. Truly amazing. whether it's finding a replacement for recently lost shades or pinning another to the collection, this place is worth a visit. Highly rec read more

Great selection and prices and the owner is very helpful and kind. I love my new glasses! I will be back for future purchases.

I was in need of some new polarized sunglasses and was having trouble finding a good style/fit online. Wandered in to just check out the selection and the owner, Bo, very nicely asked just a couple of questions that quickly led me to the perfect pair of sunglasses. He was sensitive to my budget constraints and I only had to try on four or five pairs before I found a great style and fit. Great local business and I would highly recommend Always Sunglasses for your eyewear needs. read more
