Rated 5 out of 5 stars

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

A second pair of reading glasses

I am very happy with the quality of the glasses as well as the personal service in the shop. Not too much fuss, just right. Thank you.

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.

Great customer service!!

Company got broken glasses repaired and back to me quickly even though it was Easter weekend. Good customer service. My only problem with Iolla is that they give students a discount but pensioners are ignored. I believe it should be all or nothing to single out a specific group for discount seems unfair.

Great selection

Great selection, great service, great price options. I was only in Edinburgh for a few weeks and my glasses would not have come quick enough so I got them sent to my home in Canada. I was notified at every step that they were shipped and on the way. So pleased with my new glasses too.

Superb service but may find range limited…

Range of frames was at first a little bit limited for my personal preference but soon found a pair I liked.
Staff were super helpful and once I'd made the decision to order the process was really easy.
Glasses arrived on schedule and nothing was too much trouble to ensure they fit perfectly.

Lovely glasses

Lovely glasses; excellent value. Had to wait a little while before I was served initially but that is ok - it shows they weren't rushing the person in front of me! I haven't used them for lenses (being filled by my usual optician as I have issued) so cannot comment on that part of the service. I don't think they have an inhouse optician.

Great products. Outstanding staff.

Iolla is a great business. They have affordable, stylish glasses and sunglasses and a very quick delivery service. What makes them 5 stars however is the friendly, enthused and capable staff. Outstanding.
