Sunglass Hut

Great customer service by Tamika, Sqarr and Hassan — particularly the former who recommended some tight Maui Jinns that are featherweight, perfect for any activity, and allow you to see the world in HD with superb color perception like never before! The Ray Bans I got also pretty sick if I do say so myself, but I came in asking for those after perusing the site. ps lifetime supply or sunglass cleaner spray with purple or teal cloth is provided complimentary, and sweet reggae music beyond just Sean Paul plays for a finally it’s a sunny April Saturday vibe. :D

TALK ABOUT SERVICE!!!
I had an old pair of Wayfarer Classic Polarized RayBans that were peeling and the arms were very broken. I went in to see if they sold additional arms or if they had a tool to help fix them. What happened next, I couldn’t have expected ever.
Without a receipt, they swapped out my old broken pair for a BRAND NEW PAIR!!! I couldn’t believe it. The woman who helped me was SO helpful. They didn’t have the pair I wanted on the floor either, so she sent someone up to the 8^th floor to find a pair they had in their storage. I was in and out of there in 30 minutes and LOVE my brand new pair of sunnies!!! Thank you!!! You really MADE MY DAY!!!

I’ve been planning on buying sunglasses for a while and left it for a day that I had a little extra time to shop and linger. I first went to the Sunglass Hut inside the Macy’s, and it was a total nightmare; between the throng of people and the unhelpful salespeople who are just flirting with each other and in the way, I ended up just leaving.
Then I walked out and saw the stand-​alone store and I almost didn’t go in because I was already frustrated and in a bad mood, but I thought, «what the heck. I’m already here.» I was immediately greeted by several salespeople at the door, and I HATE being sold, so I said I was just browsing. I picked up a couple pairs and one of the girls noticed the styles I was looking at, and she brought 2 other pairs for me to try on. Not pushy, just helpful. One of the pairs she brought were PERFECT. After less than 15 minutes, I was on my way.
So, go visit Lucy. She’s fantastic and not pushy. Skip the Macy’s by all means necessary. You won’t regret it.

As with any Sunglass Hut, the workers will not leave you alone, but since they didn’t have the exact style I was looking for, they called a nearby location and had them keep it on hold for me.
Very small store!

The definitive source for Sunglasses
There’s nothing like sunglasses to give off a «cooler than thou», glamorous air, and in NYC, people even wear them in the subway, 100 ft. underground to ward off the evil eye. Sunglass hut offers many styles, and presents them in a well-​organized. They’ve got all the big names– Ray Band, Oakley, D & G, etc. I love how on their website, they have a trendwatch and a trend map, so you can see what sunglasses are considered coolest wear. They also have the shapes and styles sorted out into little symbols (for example, «goggle», «rimless», «oval», «aviator», «cat eye», etc) so you can really see what your design options are in a very simple and clear way.
Their website is amazing; you can sort your sunglass search by brand, price, color, activity/​usage, material, lens technology, style, etc, to really find that one you’re looking for. Otherwise, looking at sunglasses can be overwhelming.

One star because unlike the other location on Unilocal that I reviewed they were open. This place is busy, and I was worried that I would have a hard time getting help if needed. Well no worry right after I walked in I heard a voice loud enough, «salespeople, I need salespeople on the floor.»
And then they swarmed. It would just be my luck that I was approached by a salesperson that wanted to impress her boss or if they’re on commission make more than anyone else there. She just made sure she hit everyone up, problem is that I think she chased many away and then she had time to zero in on me.
Well I really tried to swat her away, why is it that some salespeople can’t just shut up! How about these, no? Well these? Or, these? Ack! Please, I said let me take a look then I’ll let you know if I have any questions. Hmmm okay, she says. Then 30 seconds later, same routine, these, those, them??? Again, I’ll let you know. This happened about two more times, make it stop. A good salesperson learns to listen to when a customer says, «let me browse» a great one will sense it by reading a customers body language.
I normally would have been out of there sooner, but since I broke my sunglasses on the way to NYC, I really wanted a replacement pair, so I tried to put up with it.
To the one other salesperson, that asked me if I needed help I’m sorry if I sounded rude, I wish I could have given you the sale instead, you weren’t pushy. But instead no one got my business, I left.
I wasn’t going to reward her with a sale just because I really wanted, really really wanted a pair of sunglasses, when I wasn’t being helped. How about these, doesn’t constitute help. Asking me if I wanted wire or plastic frames, or what color lenses, etc. is help. There wasn’t one question about my preferences or how/​where I’d be using the sunglasses.
Oh hell, I’ll just go to Macy’s instead.

I am officially a Social Sun junkie.
What is Social Sun junkie, you may ask? Well let me enlighten you folks on the new technical addiction to further increase your vainness in order to further brag or increase your popularity through the virtual realm of Facebook.
How do they do that? Well let me explain, you innocently venture into Sunglass Hut, to potentially find a new pair of shade, that can give you the cooler image than you already are or in my case to stop the dirty glares because I have a personal staring problem and can’t seem to fix it.
While the opinion of a 1 friend is good, but unfortunately if you are stuck with a date who is more vain than anyone you know and can only complement himself, then how do you choose amongst the hundreds of ultra cool style sunglasses?
What is that I see? Amateur common people snapping pics through a webcam to display themselves on the Plasma screen inside and outside the store like they are some superstar!!!
You can’t help but be immediately drawn to the camera and start snapping pics like some natural model with attitude and upload to the display, email, or facebook in order for your 300+ friends to miraculously be envious and click «like» on the photos like you are the superfly that you are.
