I've wanted glasses for as long as I can remember, but I didn't want to look like I was *trying* too hard to be one of the bespectacled cool girls. Girls with glasses are taken more seriously as they appear smarter. It's true!

I'm an editor & since getting my new glasses I've actually gotten two jobs I just know I would never have gotten without my perfect frames.

"Lisa" helped me in December & not only did she find me The Glasses, but she listened to me to learn what it was I was hoping to achieve. Lisa brought out a variety of frames & even though I liked the very first pair she had me try on, she insisted I try on more as she explained glasses as an accessory were a very important purchase.

She was right & I now own the hippest pair of Sama frames any girl could ever want or wish for. If Lisa had shown me the neat little box those frames nest in when not being worn, I would have bought them just based on the case alone.

The Rims & Goggles store has frames for every face & style you can imagine. If you're like I am & become overwhelmed by too many choices, Lisa or any of the other help (I witnessed more than one purchase while I took my time) will narrow down your choices. They've all got great taste!

If you need new glasses or your first pair ever, Rims & Goggles will not let you down.

Ho damn there is no way my snarky little Yelp review could possibly convey just how much this place rocks.  Wifey was going full-blown bat-sh*t crazy running around Marin and SF looking for THE PAIR of glasses, and let me tell ya', it was not fun anymore.  Enter Rims & Goggles...and heck, the prices were steep, but not the steep-est - especially given the mindbendingly great service we had.  And we're difficult, pain-in-the-bootay customers, and could even be considered EON (Every Optician's Nightmare): tough prescription, can't decide on a whole slew of pricey frames, various problems every step of the way, that sorta thing.  Through unyielding patience and flexibility (even when they thought we might buy a frame elsewhere), these folks easily worked out all the rough edges without battering us to the ground and instead made us happy campers without any smoke & mirrors.  Nice goin'!

Oh, what a pleasant, fun shopping experience it was.  Compare this to the rotten experience my wife and I had at the obnoxious, snotty Michael Quinn in downtown Mill Valley.

The sales clerk, Stacy (Stacey?) was extremely helpful, obviously having fun at the job.  She had us try dozens of different frames, and even though I wasn't planning on getting a pair for myself, we were having so much fun that we ended up spending a rather obscene sum for two pairs of glasses.

This business has a wider selection of frames than Michael Quinn, and the total experience was so much more pleasant.  Rather than being told to come back when we were serious so that I wouldn't waste their time, Stacy was engaging, knowledgeable and very attentive.

I'm not sure if I'd ever plan to spend nearly a thousand dollars for a pair of prescription glasses, but if you want a pair of fun glasses, I cannot imagine a better place.
