Visiting from out of town and nose rest on my prize Prada glasses fell off. Walked in off the street without appointment and asked if they could fix it. They were able to fix while I ate brunch across the street. Amazing job fixing and when asked how much it cost to repair they said "nothing thanks for dropping in". They even politely rejected my tip. Highly recommend this spot for glasses as I noticed a great selection and customer service is top notch. read more

I recently went into this store looking for sunglasses. I picked out a pair of Ray Ban Wayfarers. Unfortunately, they were out. I was told they came in 1 size & no polarization. The next day I went to the Ray Ban store, bought them with polarization, & was told they came in 2 sizes. Caveat Emptor! read more

I love this place. Scott and the rest of the staff are caring and helpful, the service is always excellent. Today's helpful deed was adjusting my crooked frames that were bent from my toddler grandchild's sweet little hands. They are my one and only eyeglasses shop. read more

Great selection of frames. Very friendly and helpful staff. After buying some prescription glasses from them for the first time last week, I won't shop anywhere else. read more

Super nice staff and customer service. Bought some sunglasses online from a different store and needed a slight adjustment so I went to this store since it was local and the the lady was so nice and adjusted the glasses to fit my face. They definitely did not have to do that since I didn't buy the glasses from the store! Beyond friendly and helpful! Thank you!!! read more

This is by far the best local small business in the palisades. Top notch customer service and the most friendly owner and staff you could ever find. Great selection of eyewear and knowledgeable and helpful personnel make this my go to store for glasses. I wish more businesses were run the same. A pleasure to have these folks in our town. read more

I work a couple of doors down and needed new lenses 4 a frame I had and called around (4 other places in LA) and low and behold was given the best price in this store. Their frames are so fine! Lexi takes good care of me and I must say this store cuts the best lens PERIOD. read more

This is the only place to go to for your eyewear! They were so patient with me. I was picking out my first pair of reading glasses and must have tried on every pair in the shop. I finally picked out a pair of faceaface glasses but then I drove the poor young woman behind the counter absolutely crazy with a million questions about to bifocal or not to bifocal. She was so sweet and patient the entire time. read more

I got a pair of Chloe sunglasses at Marc Michel and my fiancé got a pair of glasses by Salt Optics there. I've got a low bridge, and finding glasses or sunglasses hasn't been easy for me in the past. It seemed pretty easy to find glasses at Marc Michel, though, because of two things: 1. the selection is really good, and 2. what's better, the staff are knowledgeable, easy-going and professional. They could anticipate what would work for me pretty well before I even tried on a frame. On my second trip there, they had moved into an even bigger and newer space (next door? on the same street). They happily gave me a free cleaning and adjustment on the sunglasses, and they quickly and efficiently helped me to find a pair of Bevel Spectacles that worked well for my face. I didn't get them b/c of the price, but I'll keep them in mind for the next time I get a new pair of glasses. My comparisons shops are Eyes on Main, Montana Eyes, and Optical Shop of Aspen (all in Santa Monica). I realize that's only 3 comparison shops. I'm not a connoisseur of optical establishments, so I hesitate to say "Woohoo! As good as it gets" (5 stars). That said, Marc Michel is definitely where I will go for glasses in the future! read more

My review was filtered! That never happens to me. Harumph! I bought a pair of Persol today after finding a picture of me 20 plus years ago in the Persol sunglasses I wore over a decade. I took the picture and lamented the oversized eyewear Prada saddled us with for years. Dad bought SALT glasses for 369 and complained bitterly, but his old man glasses were not fixable and I was delighted we were able to persuade him. I didn't think Persol made anything like the 1990s styles but they have some styles more like my beloved post-cat eyes pair. The best part? They're cheaper in 2014 than in 1996! It turns out that Persol used to be priced differently in every country. When a company bought Persol, they imposed a uniform price structure in all countries. Some models increased in price; some decreased. I had NO intention of buying a pair of glasses today. I just went in to get my vintage blue Persol tweaked. I bought them around the corner 2 or 3 years ago at the Cottage for just 58 and replaced the lenses early this year. I showed Scott the pictures and tried on a half-dozen pair. When I saw the price--239--I threw caution to the wind. Yosemite (see my recent list) was a cash hemorrhage. Ugh. So expensive but I got four or so blogs of material out of it and it was so beautiful I don't regret going. But spending 260 after tax on glasses was so not on my agenda for today. I couldn't pass them up and in the three or so hours since wearing them, I fall in love a little more with each passing minute. This is a superlative store. There is no reason to go inland to Beverly Hills, WeHo or Century City for eyewear. If you live west of the 405, come to Marc Michel. It's the best. read more

The fine selection of eyewear is wonderful (something for every type of budget) and the customer service is even better. The talented staff are great at finding the just right frames for each face. Lexi is patient, thoughtful, and especially adept at choosing frames. They go the extra mile for special requests. read more

Perfect service. So refreshing to deal with friendly, civilized staff. I had some new lenses put in my sunglasses and they are perfect...better than the originals. read more

I wish I had words for the owner and the staff! 20 stars is not enough. Simply, I won't ever shop anywhere else for prescription reading glasses or sunglasses. read more

Best customer service and choices of style. My doctor told me it was time for prescription glasses and I had no idea what I was doing picking out glasses. I'm so glad I came here! Joanna took in consider my personal taste, face shape, and price. I'm so happy with my glasses. They were ready to pick up in 2 days and I am now back to reading! read more

They were so sweet and repaired two pairs of sunglasses for me and refused to charge me. I'll definitely be back to support this local business! read more

Great place for a quick repair close to home. A nose pad from my Zenni Optical online purchased glasses fell off and was lost. Walked in the shop and it was quickly fixed with two replacement nose pads. I asked how much, no charge she said. Thanks! You now have a new customer. read more

Have you noticed when you're together with extended family during a get together there're some members you run away from and some you'd like to hang out with. Well Scott and Lexi, who has the face of an angel and the disposition to match, are the family members you want to hang out with. In case you're wondering, I run away from all ;) read more

A little gem in the Palisades. Great selection, wonderful service. Lexi could not have been nicer or more professional.

Marc Michel has an incredible selection of beautiful frames and sunglasses. Wonderful brands and beautiful styles. It feels like a European shop with cases of frames and warm, attentive service. Scott and his staff are very discerning and helpful in selecting frames that look good for your face shape and coloring. They also keep your purchases on file and are happy to tighten and clean your eyewear if you drop in. read more

If you want the perfect eyewear go to Marc Michel!! They have the most up to date styles and the staff are all incredibly knowledgeable and helpful. Scott is the best! Ruthanne Iliff read more

Exceptional customer service, attractive selection of frames, and quick turnaround times. My eye doctor, who is not affiliated with Marc Michel, complimented the lenses in my glasses as being very high quality. I only write a Yelp review when I am compelled by 5-star service. Marc Michel and staff deserve this rating. read more

Great Service Perfectionist in lens fitting. Great Selection My wife and I both wear glasses and we have bought for OSA and other high end stores. Marc's has the BEST service and they do amazing work. I am a dentist and very picking. I have had many glasses redone by other shops until they met my standards. My wife and I have bought our last 4-5 pairs of glasses here. read more

Let me just start off by saying, I can be a retail person's nightmare. I can take forever to decide. On average it takes me about four visits before I actually purchase something, especially a purchase like eyeglasses, where at Marc Michel there are so many great styles to choose from. My inability to make a decision has left many salespeople so frustrated, that I can sence their apprehension to wait on me the minute I walk in, but not at Marc Michel Eyewear. Scott, Lexi and Joanne could not be more friendly, helpful, and accommodating, they make shopping for eyeglasses a pleasurable experience. An easy choice for my own eyeglasses, and an easy recommendation for others. read more

Fabulous selection of eyewear, knowledgeable and kind staff. Sent a couple of friends there and they agree this is the coolest place to get your eyeglasses. No pressure sales here; they want you to look and feel good. Found some beautiful new style Ray Ban sunglasses for under $120. Prescription lenses are perfect! Got 2 pair so far. read more

I just love the glasses and service here.. I picked up my 2nd pair today and couldn't be happier..

Love this place! Marc and his assistants are really nice and considerate people. The selection is amazing and, especially Marc, can take one look at your face and find the pairs that look great. read more

My elderly father was visiting us recently, arriving with really badly mangled eyeglass frames as he'd done the damage right before heading to LA. I dashed into Marc Michel needing a bit of a miracle...and a speedy one at that. I was met with exceptional customer service and top notch expertise. Dad had his glasses back within an hour, looking good as new. A+ read more

Best designer brands and very nice and knowledgeable staff. I got a couple of great pairs of Oliver Peoples and Barton Pereirra prescription eyeglasses that I get compliments on all the time. Very happy with the service and will definitely go back. read more

Could never find the right lenses until I walked in here. Great neighborhood store. One of the best selection of eyewear I've seen. Reasonable prices with great service. Another reason for keeping it local. Thanks, Marc. read more
