Located on the smaller side of South Coast is Oliver Peoples. I might be a little biased because I've been to the flagship in West Hollywood, but honestly, the selection here is mediocre at best. Literally half of the space is Mosley Tribes and Paul Smith. I did not come to look at that stuff, I came for Oliver Peoples. They layout is similar to the flagship store, but with 70% less stuff. Great products, but lack of selection. Save your time if you're serious and go to West Hollywood. read more

Oliver Peoples has some of the hottest eye glasses around. Be it frames for prescription lenses or sunglasses, these babies make a statement. The latest hot specs: the Farrell's Oh the people at Oliver Peoples are top notch and uber friendly! read more

If you're going to plunk down $300 for a pair of sunglasses, you might as well get your money's worth and you do at Oliver Peoples. I love that there are no obvious initials or label to say "Yo-I'm-flossin'-these-designer-shades!" but these are totally designer. It's like wearing pretty lingerie underneath your clothes. You know you're wearing it and it makes you feel good, but you don't need to blatantly flaunt that to anyone else, si? The best part about Oliver Peoples glasses? Say your lenses get scratched or jacked up with wear and tear. You can get the lenses replaced for around $50 and not spend another $300 to buy a new pair. read more

Vu was such a great help! He helped me find the spare parts I needed for my favorite frame and adjusted it to fit just like a brand new one. I definitely recommend this store. Their products and customer service are excellent. read more

This is what customer service is meant to be. I was in Orange County last year and decided to pick up some new glasses. The store manager cruised around the store with me while I tried on pretty much every pair of glasses. She gave me prices, showed me alternatives and patiently put up with my indecisiveness, after which I bailed (I couldn't make up my mind). I came back two months later and she remembered my name, basically did the same routine again and I left with some frames I liked. Until I got home and decided they were too big for my face (boy, do I suck). She cheerfully exchanged them the next time I was in the area. My new glasses were great, until I tweaked them while adjusting a leg, so I dropped in to the store again earlier this month. She happily replaced them with a brand new pair, which was sent to my door a few days later. read more

I purcahsed my first pair of Oliver Peoples eyeglasses at Optical Shop of Aspen as a young guy just out of grad school in the '90's. At the time, OSA was bring to attention the best of the best in eyewear design. There is a special talent in designing eyewear, and the best is not designed by high profile clothing designers; rather, the best designs come from those who have a unique passion for eyewear. Leading the pack in the 90's was Matsuda, from Japan, but right on their heals was Oliver Peoples, and while Matsuda has suffered some compromises in quality along the way, Oliver Peoples just continues to turn out beautifully designed frames of enviable quality. Because I tend to lean towards the classic, I've been able to wear even my oldest Oliver Peoples to this day, without them ever appearing dated, without losing nose pad, a temple piece or a bridge. Their coloration and finishes have all remained in tact, and wouldn't you know it I still gather compliments on each. I believe in investing in good frames, and I believe in adding to your frames over time, because they sit right there, front and center on your face, and you have to wear them each and everyday. You wouldn't wear the same suit or outfit everday, now would you? Typcially not, and even if you are in uniform, glasses are a sure fire way to grant you a bit of self expression. So, I have a number of frames by different eyewear manufacturers, and there are some truly magnificent makers of eyewear. Yet, tonight, without expecting to write a review on Yelp about anything, much less Oliver Peoples, I find myself writing this with a pair of their glasses perched upon my nose. Do yourself and your face a favor, and check out this amazing brand--and where better to do it? Well, at the Oliver People's store, of course (you can also find them at OSA in Newport or Laguna, another fine store). read more

About a year ago, I was on a quest to find new frames that complimented the shape of my face and I actually went to Optiks as my first resort. Unfortunately, I had a terrible experience there, so I cursed my way over to OP where I hoped to experience better service. Wish I came here to begin with because I had a great experience with the rep as she was not pushy and was very honest and patient. In the end, I walked out happy because they had very cute frame options that were not your typical plastic ones. All the frames are openly displayed making it easier as a consumer to play around with my options, unlike Optiks. I like being able to just grab the frames and try them on without waiting around for help. I also like the fact that they have a comfortable spot to chill since my friends were there to help me decide. Choosing a frame is a very important decision and you need as much time to make them! I love OP even if the price range is high. read more

Came here tonight for the AFTER DARK event (LUNAR NEW YEAR) It was on the third floor. This place was super crowded. You had to be on the VIP to get in. This store had free booze too. I love all of there sunglasses here. It looks fun, stylish, and the quality looks nice. I tried a couple of glasses on. I need to save up money soon because all the ones I liked was over $400 The staff helped me and gave me a couple of other choices. read more

My first Oliver Peoples experience was complicated, but ultimately amazing. I stopped by while doing some shopping at Southcoast Plaza and I decided it was time for some new frames. The woman who helped us was super nice and put up with me trying on every frame in the store and even some she pulled from the back. In the end it was a pair of frames that she had pulled that I fell in love with and decided to buy. I paid and she said that they would contact my doctor as I didn't have my prescription on me. One week later I got a call that my glasses were ready and made my way down to Costa Mesa to pick them up. I knew something was wrong the second I tried on the glasses. I couldn't see anything. Everything was blurry (significantly more so than normal) and I couldn't even walk straight. They quickly called my doctor and found out that they had made a mistake. They read a 1.25 as a 1.75 and told me that they would fix their error and have them ready as soon as possible. A few days later I returned to pick up my glasses again and things still felt off. I gave it a few days, but something was definitely wrong. I returned to the doctor and it turns out HE had made a mistake! He wrote my axis down wrong so I had to return to Oliver Peoples to have it fixed. I was concerned that they would charge me, but they told me it would covered as a "doctor's redo" and I wouldn't have to pay a thing. Another week went by and I finally had my glasses with the correct prescription. In the end everyone fixed their mistakes and I am now the proud owner of an amazing pair of Paul Smith glasses. The customer service was top notch and they weren't annoyed with me even after my 2nd fix. I will definitely be returning to Oliver Peoples for my next pair of glasses. P.S. LOVE that the glasses wipe that comes in the case is a record! As a vinyl lover that was my favorite detail of all time. read more

After years of being a Dior and Gucci only sunglass girl I am a Oliver Peoples convert. I also think I am a sunglass expert after repping one of the best high end sunglasses of it's time, Revo (basically defunct now). O.P.'s are expensive but the quality of the lens and frame are worth it. So clear, I can see for days. The frames....the colors, the shapes. For me, the bigger the better! This store has great service compared with the one on Sunset Plaza in L.A.. read more

protip: buy the frames, and get your lens elsewhere... the overall shopping experience at oliver peoples is a bit lacking. they're really strong in the frame / sunglasses department, but when it comes to optical, it's lacking because there aren't ANY samples of the optical lenses and treatment offered... so you're left in the dark not knowing what to expect until you get called back to pick up your order. and not to mention, they had messed up our order the first time, which added more issues and confusion. their online return policy differs from the store return policy... you're able to return purchases made online, but you're unable to return purcahses made in store. so i would stick to purchasing online, considering in-person customer service was less than expected. with price tags that high and brand image, you'd think they would equip their sales consultants with ample amount of product knowledge, but nope. it leaves a lot of consumers uninformed. read more

I can't believe how easy it was to get my sunglasses fixed! Visiting from Oregon, I was searching for a sunglasses repair place on Yelp so I could "finally" get my favorite pair of sunglasses fixed. I came across Oliver Peoples in South Coast Plaza. Feeling leery that it would cost a small fortune to get fixed, I decided to go because Esther was so sweet on the phone. She put a new nose pad and ear cover "on the spot" and didn't charge me anything! I swooped up a new glass case for $20 and I am so happy with my new-again sunglasses read more

Dealing with Robert and Robin (and also the person on the phone today who called me to tell me my glasses were in -- I think Irene -- email me and I will fix), and then getting a great pair of glasses of top of that made for a really good experience. I told Robert I would give him the "best" possible review. After a long day of work, he's fun and easy, plus he knows his stuff. I'm very pleased. I won't say price, but my Rx sunglasses were not that much more than some special Oakley's that I got last year. (The optometrist wanted to add every possibly coating to pad the bill). With my Aeros, everything is included -- polarized, scratch-resistant coating, etc. Also, now I see 20/15. Who says you can't turn back time? I would highly recommend dealing with Robert, Robin, and Irene at this location. Getting there is easy: It's on your right when you walk over the bridge from South Coast Plaza. P.S. Thanks to the all the people who posted reviews. That's how I found out about these glasses. Yes, I saw them but I never knew the brand, nor about the great service!! read more

WALMART HAS BETTER QUALITY. Don't waist your money. Worst luxury purchase of my life. They pretend to be luxury, but it's cheap, uncomfortable crap. The fit, the comfort, imagine the worst possible pair of glasses. I think a high schooler in wood shop could put something better together. They look good, but don't fit and don't feel form fitting. They don't even reach the ear so expect to push the brim back up to your nose every 5 seconds because they drop to the mid part of your nose if you buy these glasses. I'm not joking, they are a JOKE...don't say I didn't warn you. read more

This store is nothing but the best. Best staff, beautiful boutique, they dont care if you spend 2 hours in there just picking over frames like I do sometimes. I ordered a pair of Paul Smith frames this weekend in olive. I just wish the quality would be on par with Dita though. Slightly lacking since Luxottica (did I already mention this gripe?). However that is a corporate issue, not the store I am reviewing. read more

Had the best experience here with having my sunglasses adjusted. I wish I got her name but she was a tall lady with glasses and she was so kind and attentive when listening to my needs. She knew what adjustments needed to be made by just seeing it on my face and the adjustments were made very promptly. Thank you so much I love them!! read more

I love my OP glasses. These are da shiznit and have lasting a very long time. I need to get me another pair as soon as my vsp program kicks in again. read more

I just got my glasses and am loving them! They have a great selection of sunglasses AND glasses. Usually the other boutiques don't have as many awesome looking glasses to choose from, but Oliver Peoples tops it! So after I went through every single pair of glasses in the store, I finally decided on one pair that was super hip and stylish. I had them put in nose pads as my long eyelashes will get in the way and will be brushing my glasses like windshields-not cool. I needed them before I travel to NYC in a couple of days and they rushed the order for me, and got it way ahead of schedule! I was very impressed. I took off one star because when I first went in, the manager was wiping every pair of glasses that I tried on. I was a bit offended because she was not doing it to other people that were in the store. I didn't think that was nice at all-you do not want to make your customer feel like they are not welcomed in your store... But I swallowed my pride because their selection was just toooo greattttt. Later on the manager was nice to me (after she realized I was really going to buy!) so she's forgiven. What can I say, I am a nice gal. ;) I will be back for my sunglasses and glasses~ read more

Amazing glasses. Horrific customer service. Came in today to look at glasses and was treated with poor manners and unprofessional customer service. Attitude, short-spoken, aggressive tone & unfriendly facial gestures just to name a few.. Unfortunately aesthetics won't cut it.. I'll take my money where it's appreciated and customer service is a staple in their everyday presence. read more

Great place! I called first just to check how much it would cost to repair my glasses. I lost a screw for the side piece. They said just bring it in. First impression, great! I went to the store, greeted as soon as I walked in. I told the employee what I needed she said not a problem. She even replaced the nose pieces for free! If their glasses weren't so expensive for a recent M.S. graduate, I would definitely buy glasses from here! Great service!! read more

Has your Mother been picking out your glasses your whole life? Then you need to run to Oliver People and have Esther help you pick out fantastic new frames. Great Sale on Sunglasses at the end of October. read more

I went in with questions about my Oliver People's Masek Matte Blk sunglasses and spoke with a woman named Lina who was very knowledgable and helpful with my questions. I walked out of the store very happy and confident with the answers she had given me about frame adjustments and how it will affect the fit on your face. Having worked for a sunglass company before I feel that this is definitely the kind of experience that people deserve when they are spending the kind of money they charge for a single pair of glasses. Overall I highly recommend this place based on the experience that Lina provided me with, she listened, understood and provided a logical and informing explanation. Hopefully I can get my hands on a polished black pair of Jack Huston's next! -Totally worth it! ;-) read more

I have been wearing Oliver People's for 25 years. The best sunglasses in the world. I have purchased at least 50 pairs including Mosley Tribe. I bought a new pair yesterday. Oliver People's West. They are amazing. What's even better is the service I have received over the years in all the stores. Linda was so amazing and helpful with my latest pair this week! Thanks! You can buy sunglasses anywhere but why not buy quality glasses from a quality store? read more

Expensive but well worth the money for optical glasses. The staff is super helpful. It takes a while for them to get the lenses done, like 5 days. All in all I'd definitely come back here next time when I need a new pair. I also took my bf here and he bought a pair =). We're in love with the designs! read more

Grade: A Elegant, clean store. Great service. Awesome sunglasses - very cute designs and colors. Just pricey. read more

It's a beautiful store! Even if you aren't in the market to buy sunglasses peruse their selection and admire their display. The pleasing aesthetics of it will have you coming back for more. The customer service is above and beyond satisfactory. I've been in a number of times and only once came out with a gift certificate for my sister. They're always willing to answer any questions and are seemingly sincere. The commission must be pretty good here, ya know. My favorite part? The fact that they have glasses/shades that are flat as opposed to round in the front. It's particularly GRAND for asian faces having difficult finding frames that sit properly on the nose, etc. Have a ball, try it out. read more

Great company with awesome service! I bought my Mosley Tribes which is Oliver Peoples. They are great quality sunglasses that look great. I am very picky because I wear my sunglasses nearly daily in this beautiful sunny state of ours. Titanium frames are lightweight so you wear them all day and your nose will not be fatigued or sore and you won't develop a head ache from heavier glasses such as my Oakleys. Oliver Peoples deserves a 5 star rating why? Since my glasses broke 2 times, they have replaced them free of charge along with a new case and cleaning cloth (which needed to be replaced anyway). When at the repair facility in OC, they also cleaned and adjusted my frames which were a little off due to me accidentally sitting on them. They also replaced my sunglasses with a brand new pair when I broke it the 2nd time. New everything... now thats service for you! I was very impressed with their customer service, I actually took time to call them personally and thank them. This is a prime reason I buy quality sunglasses over the cheap 7-11 brands or Ray Bans. Protect your eyes with the best and have the peace of mind they will take care of your concerns in a timely fashion. read more

Customer service is top notch this is my third pair of glasses purchased at this location and Esther did an excellent job helping me out. read more

I've owned a lot of glasses that are on the "high end" and oliver peoples has had some of the BEST designs and customer service. They really know how to find glasses that fit your face and man I LOOK GREAT! Eileen is the manager and she is fantastic at making sure you are taken care of. Even when I lost an ENTIRE LENS she made sure I had a new custom lens in just three days! The cost? $0. Every company should have the level of quality and care that these guys do. read more

I made a trip to the Oliver Peoples store today and I am so thankful that I did. First off, they have nearly every frame in almost every color it comes in. Since Oilver Peoples is a very eclectic brand, it is very important to me that I get the perfect pair. I was able to at least narrow it down today, and i think after one more trip, I may finally be able to pick my perfect pair. There are just so many I like... Eileen was SUPER helpful. I cannot even begin. She got out everything I asked for in every color and was very patient. She moved mirrors for me, took me into different lighting...the whole nine yards. She was very honest and helpful as I tried on different frames and I am very thankful for that. It is hard when you are alone shopping for glasses and I truly appreciated her help. I will likely stick with this brand for quite some time. I love it and I love the service that I received in store today. read more

Just came into Oliver Peoples for the first time recently. I have to say the service and selection was amazing! Milad was so kind, knowledgeable, and knows exactly what frames work best for your face! I absolutely love my new sunglasses! If you're looking to find some quality sunglasses, absolutely go there and ask for Milad! read more

I don't qrite many reviews but do when compelled by a great experience. Two plus years ago I selected new frames and had glasses made by Oliver Peoples. Yes, they were expensive. After 2 years my lenses started getting fine crackle lines on them so I went back. The new lenses were covered under warranty (problem with coating.) That was pretty great and with no change needed to my prescription I was set for a bit (still like the frames.) But no, about 6 months later the frames broke. I called to see if they could do a repair. Instead, they found my exact frame somewhere and ordered it for me. I went in, they inserted my lenses and I was done at no charge. Pretty amazing. The up front cost was well worth it! Go there! read more
