Fantastic service from Iolla

Fantastic service from Iolla. Really pleased with my new prescription polarised sunglasses. Lovely classic style and a great fit at a fraction of the price I've been used to paying elsewhere. Superb friendly, helpful customer service too at the St. James Quarter, Edinburgh store. Iolla was recommended to me by a client, and I'd also highly recommend. Thank you!

Great experience

I hadn’t heard of IOLLA until my daughter told me about this company. I went in to buy non prescription sunglasses and was more than impressed with the range and price of the sunglasses. The staff were also super friendly and knowledgeable. I bought a beautiful pair of sunglasses and will definitely go back if I need to get new reading glasses. I also have a couple of friends who intend to come into the store for their new prescription glasses. Great company

Very nice assistants who took their time to help. The 1st visit, I wasn't very well and the assistant was very kind and got me a glass of water. I am thrilled with my new glasses - they are infinitely better than any I've had before. Many thanks.

first time buying from IOLLA…

It was my first time buying from IOLLA but it won't be my last. I never enjoy shopping for glasses I have a strong prescription and a lot of the frames I can't buy. I end up with a pair of extortionate glasses that I don't really like. However shopping with IOLLA was a stress free experience. The staff were attentive and not overbearing, the options were fantastic and even though I was limited they went through every option with me. Even better it didn't take long and the prices were fantastic I saved hundreds of pounds!

Super Service and Product!

I was in Edinburgh and visited the store - I didn't have my prescription but tried on the 'cola fade' specs - the lady was very helpful on how I could do this via their website which I duly did on my return and soon received my glasses - well packaged and presented - they are excellent and I wear them every day!

Relaxed and productive experience

Accessibility of store within SJQ
Layout and uncluttered ambience of store
Staff - sales, the right blend of acknowledgement as a customer with clear confident direction to what I was looking for /and giving me space to try/consider
Counter team member was awesome in her care/diligence to tighten my new glasses to fit perfectly - so, much so, she inspired me to buy a second pair / I’ve known the brand since you first opened in Edinburgh but had lost track of where you were / perfect location

Great experience from staff at St James Centre

Not my first pair of specs from Iolla!
Staff are always friendly and helpful.
Choice of frames is great..although due to my face shape I do tend to veer towards the same frames, just choosing a new colour.

Ordered a replacement pair of glasses as sadly lost original pair. Paid extra £20 for express service and replacements were ready in 3 days. Fabulous service.

Supreme service from start to finish

Supreme service from start to finish. I was left alone to browse the massive selection of frames in my own time & as soon as I looked like I wanted help, the staff came to offer assistance.
From frame fitting to returning to collect the finished spectacles was so easy.
The aftercare offered is also second to none.
I cannot recommend their service enough. Price plus service equals a winning formula.
