Sixty-Minute Spectacles

Can I just say that Stan from Sixty Minute Spectacles is absolutely incredible?! If any of you guys need a place for new glasses, Stan is definitely the man. He is very kind and generous, he doesn’t try to cheat you and he’s super patient and helpful. Definitely go to him if you guys need a place, btw he paints some pretty cool things!!! I know this sounds like such a bad ad but I think it’s very important for good honest people who have a small business to get noticed!!! Honestly I am so happy I came to this place.

I wrote my last review on 4÷25÷2014 before I had ever purchased anything from them. Since that time, I have purchased one pair of glasses, one set of frames, and had two other sets of lenses altered based on poor filling of the prescription by the previous optician. I wish I could give these guys a «6» because «5» is simply not enough! In each and every case, Stan took an incredible amount of time not only helping me to find the «right» frames but also to educate me as to the fine points of the positioning of the magnifying lens within the bifocal. No optician I have ever worked with took that amount of time (which is perhaps why I had to have lenses altered based on poor filling of my prescription by others?). The array of frames he carries is over-​the-​top! If you can’t find something you like there, you won’t find it anywhere! Compared to the chain opticians, you do tend to pay slightly more but the quality of the service more than makes up for it. However, he does give discounts based on your insurance status so price itself shouldn’t be the deal-​breaker. And how many places are a combination optical store and art gallery? Now all they need is a taco truck out back :-) Life is good!

Wow! I can’t find enough wonderful things to say about this business. Since Sixty Minute Spectacles has come under new ownership, it’s become our family’s only place to shop for eyewear. You will not find a better selection or better prices anywhere in town. This business is owned and operated by two of the loveliest people you will ever want to meet. As soon as you walk into the office, you are greeted by the owners Stan and Ginny. They immediately make you feel at home with their warmth and amazing customer service. I could spend hours browsing the cases and displays looking at such a vast selection that you may need to sit down with a hot cup of tea or coffee that you are offered, just to be able to take in all that there is to see. Stan is also a very gifted artist and has his talents displayed prominently on the walls for your enjoyment.
Not only do you feel at home and as though you’ve made new friends, my glasses look perfect, feel perfect and my vision is crisp and clear! Thanks not only for the epic service and hospitality, but for the numerous compliments I’ve gotten on my new frames. I’ll be back soon for my sunglasses! You’ve made a customer for life!

Great service! Stan, Ginny and Dr. Nelson were very thorough in their care of me. i truly appreciate the convenience of their Saturday hours and that great service was affordable too. I enjoyed the art gallery whilst shopping for glasses a fun twist.

Lovely experience!!! The staff here is so nice and made me feel right at home, even offered me all the cookies I wanted! Love this place.

*****I want to update my review because I have been informed the owner I and my son had such a horrible experience with no longer owns this establishment.
The family is now running it and I have heard it is MUCH better.
I hope all goes well in moving forward.

Absolutely AMAZING place. Walked in right away, greeted by the guy named Stan in the front. He was SO nice, friendly, smart, and outgoing. He fixed my glasses rather quickly and even sprayed the lense to clean it a bit. I got charged ZERO dollars :) i ended up tipping him though because he deserved it. This guy’s perfect, and he also has a good selection of glasses both vision and sun. Check it out ASAP

This is an excellent place to get your eye wear. The owners go out of their way to set you up with quality eye glasses. Love this place.

Excellent customer service! I thought I had to get another pair of new eyeglasses but Stan was able to repair my crooked glasses that had popped lens. Thank you! I will be back again soon!!!:)

Super friendly and helpful. Will definitely go back again, they have a large selection of glasses to choose from.

Just got my new shades here and LOVE THEM!!! Stan took such good care of me I will only come here for everything from now on

This place was great! My teenage daughter broker her sunglasses which were not purchased here. We took them in and the owner was so amazing! He fixed her glasses and entertained us while he worked. Such a nice guy! I will absolutely go back and visit!!!

Great shop. Great. Selection of frames. Stan takes such good care of his customers! Everyone I’ve talked to loves this place too.

Went in to check out some new frames and was greeted by the new owners, Ginny and Stan. They were so sweet to talk with and took the time to show me possible new frames. I had a wobble to my glasses, Stan took care of that so quickly and efficiently. Nice décor in the store, Stan paints in his free time and I have to say is a rather good up and coming artist. Definitely will be back :)

After living in the Seal Beach area my entire life, and driving by this shop countless times, I finally had a need to go in. I took one of my pairs of sunglasses to Sunglass Hut to be repaired (one nosepad broke off), and they told me they couldn’t help me, but I would get faster service by going to an optometrist. I can’t begin to tell you how happy I am that they did. This place is a gem. I understand its under new ownership, and the new owner is doing everything he can to ensure repeat business.
When I walked in, the owner and (presumably) his assistant were very friendly. HE asked what he could help me with, and I showed him my glasses with the broken nosepad. He took the opportunity to train his employee on what exactly needed to be done, the parts applicable to the glasses, and WHY he was going to do what he needed to do to fix the glasses. Right from the start, it was apparent that his knowledge was beyond reproach.
Within several minutes my glasses were fixed and cleaned, and it was all done without charge. I insisted that I pay, and the gentlemen wouldn’t hear of it, and would not accept my money.
At no time did he try to push any sales on me, but rather just had some friendly conversation. Being a small business owner myself, this man has already gone above any beyond, and I will always be checking this store out first for all my future sunglass purchases.
A HUGE Thumb up for excellent service, a well laid out store, and just «getting it» as a business owner. I can’t give this business enough stars for just knocking it out of the park!!! Thank you!

Went to their open house on Sat April 5^th. Very impressed with the new owners, Stan and Ginny. Great new selection of frames. Great service and experienced opticians. Definately will have my whole family getting eyewear here.

Did not make a purchase here so cannot honestly give 5 stars as I think that requires the full customer experience.
4 stars for respecting my time, and for being kind enough to provide me with a referral elsewhere.
Spoke with Cory over the phone, and after asking me pertinent questions he determined he could not assist me with my 7 yo daughter’s high level prescription in the time frame I needed. He also let me know that he does not carry Miraflex or a large selection of children’s frames. Still he did not leave me empty handed — instead he kindly referred me to A Child’s View (
) an optical store that specializes in children’s eye wear. Now that’s customer care!
Will definitely be considering Kevin for my own personal future vision ware needs!

I stopped at this place to get prescription RayBan computer/​reading glasses, and couldn’t find the style I liked (as usual). I’m a graphic designer, and very picky.
The salesperson actually listened to my preferences and whipped out the perfect pair of RayBans that I didn’t even know existed.
I liked the frames so much that I went back three weeks later, and bought another pair, but with sunglass lenses instead of prescription.
The price was commensurate with the product, but not ridiculous like a mall. As far as customer service, I prefer selection and expertise rather than fawning.

My 87 year old father suffers from advanced Alzhemiers’, is wheel-​chair bound, and is extremely immobile. His glasses were purchased from Sixty-​Minute Spectacles, but he damaged them and they need to be replaced. My elderly mother was too initimdated to go in there because Cory Weaver, the proprietor, was so unpleasant during her prevoius interactions when she had bought the glasses. I went back for her to request my father’s prescription, but Weaver refused to furnish it. He attempted instead to extort me into buying the replacements from him, yelling at me that he was in business to make money and not for his enjoyment etc. What a rude, angry man. So sorry that my mother ever got involved with him, and now he is holding my Dad’s prescription hostage. Save yourself from nasty, unpleasant, unprofessional treatment and AVOID this establishment!

Corey Weaver is the owner and one of the coolest guys! Great work. He can also make your vintage frames you wanted your prescription in a reality. He is a pro! I will never go any where else!
