Also, the salesperson was very helpful and chatty and helped me with choosing a few pairs of sunglasses. I ended up getting just a pair of Ray-Bans that I absolutely love. I would have never picked this style by myself, but thanks to the salesperson's great sunglass knowledge and fantastic customer service, I was convinced that this is the best option for the summer and I don't regret it. I also had a fun time shopping for glasses. Thanks for being so cool, I will definitely return to get another pair for the fall/winter.

Their store is large and has hundreds of options from top brands including Smith, Oakley, Ray-Ban, etc. Their prices are competitive compared to stores outside of Newport and online, which was refreshing as I was expecting a mark up given Newport is such a tour destination. Their customer service is top notch. I bought a pair of Ray-Bans from them over a year ago. Unfortunately, I lost the pair and we contacted the sales associate Jen who went above and beyond looking through company records to find exactly what model I had purchased. She was very helpful and called us back on multiple occasions to assist in replacing the shades I misplaced. Overall, this is a 10 out of 10 small business with exceptional customer service. While we're in New England, this will definitely be my go to spot for sunglasses!

They grabbed a new pair from the shelf, took my contact info, and I was on my way. The whole process lasted about 15 minutes, but I didn't mind seeing as how the woman helping me was smoking hot.

After she graciously cleaned my lenses, she dexterously handed them to me. They were not even sunglasses, but the Sunglass Hut did not discriminate. I count myself to be a very satisfied future customer of this kind, generous and patient establishment. I'll soon be back.
