Reviews of Hakim Optical 412 Portage (Optics Shop)

Avin Nash

I have tried a lot of places before I went into Hakim for a pair of glasses. The service ad collection here is unbelievable. The doctor actually gave me a through exam and determined how my vision power has changed which the other doctor totally missed last time that was not that long ago. But the most impressive was Ms.Sanada's assistance in choosing frames. She is immensely knowledgeable and experienced that she can pick the best suited frames for your face no matter how you look or want to look. She works with you, for your satisfaction. She also made a huge impact in me because she offered all possible offers available helping me get not one but four frames well inside my budget. Hakim, I thank you for such amazing staff at your esteemed company

I have been a repeat customer of the Hakim Optical, Winnipeg, Portage and Kennedy location for a number of years. I am always very pleased with the large selection of good quality frames to choose from. The staff are so helpful and knowledgeable of the products and offer good advice when selecting a frame for my face shape and daily needs. I get many compliments on my various stylish frames. Simply put: they know their stuff! I highly recommend them. ????????

I don't know the lady's name but she was so friendly and fixed my eyeglasses in about 5 minutes. Thank you very much.

I’ve been dealing with Hakim for the better part of 10 years now and just dropped in again today for service. While all the staff are excellent and very friendly I mostly deal with Sonata because she knows my particular issues related to macular degeneration and history. As a result I get the best possible results from progressive lenses. Believe me I’m a challenge! Today she patched my broken glasses together so that I can get by while a new frame is on route. She goes the extra mile and really that’s been the case with any of the staff I’ve dealt with at this location in the past. From Dr Kaler’s prescriptions to final adjustments to my frames their service cannot be beaten.

Do yourself a favor and don't go here, the products are bad quality and warranty is a joke.I spent hundreds of dollars here and it took them 6 weeks to get them when I phoned in to ask for a refund due to that they said no and made me wait 6 weeks I've own them for about four months now and there garbage they always need to be adjusted and their transition glasses are dark all the time even at night. The Crystal vision place a few buildings down is a very excellent place my last glasses were from there and I had no problems should have went back to them I will be going back there this month.

Jaclyn Bell

Amazing place. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. They actually know how to adjust glasses and take their time to make sure it is just right!

Took in my daughter's glasses to get fixed and used the warranty for them to repace her broken glasses for a new pair and it took them 6 to 8 months of trouble!! Kept saying to me and my husband that they lost them & so on and so on!! They just gave me back her broken glasses after 8 months and told us that their is nothing they could do!! What a waste of my money!!!

Antony Duong

I've gone to this location for 2 years now for both eye exams and glasses/contacts purchases. The staff is always helpful. I appreciate the efforts made to make me a happy buyer. Whether it's informational (like new advancements in lens technology) or by offering cleanings and repairs that are quick and easy.

Brianna Hemans

Amazing service and amazing people! They are super helpful and super nice!

Cris CodeCruncher

Not going back.

Saffron Allen Scott

Fantastic service and selection. No pushy salespeople trying to force you to go with them; just friendly, knowledgeable help. Walked into the store looking for new frames after 5 years. First tech to help me asked me what I was looking for, what styles I liked, and what my prescription was, and immediately brought me to the perfect pair of glasses. I walked around the store and found six more, and he and another tech helped me narrow them down to two. I was given pricing break downs that both included my cost after what my insurance covers, and the price as a whole. Alternative lens options were easy to understand (most included demonstrations too!) and cost breakdowns so I could make an informed decision with all the numbers and facts. Fantastic service. Fantastic selection. Good prices and promos. Well recommended.

Arjan Jianfar

Lot of selections and great service.

Gino Ciprano

My wife and I were both referred to Senada from friends that had went to her in the past. We were extremely satisfied with the high level of customer service and recommendation she provided on our purchases. Thanks again and we will be back soon.

Rob Kristjansson

Great location and OUTSTANDING service - Senada and her team are the best!!!

Meena Jack

amazing service! john and adam were so helpful and made sure that i was comfortable and were friendly

Paul Arlington

From the first greeting to having the final product ready for pick up, the experience here was fantastic! Extremely knowledgeable and helpful staff. They were very patient and helpful as I proceeded to try on endless pairs. On top of their exceptional customer service, Hakim also has a lovely selection of frames and far more reasonable prices. Hakim Optical is the place to go. Highly recommend.

Sam III

Walked-in to check the store and what they have to offer. Their displays are all over the place. The lady who helped me look for frames was helpful, but the other lady (Elena) was just mean and as if she was trying to push me out of the door even if there’s still 30mins before closing. At first I was impressed by the reviews in this place until i meet Elena - this changed my perception towards this store. I’m going to have my glasses in different store.

Duchess MmmKay

I've heard many people tell me that Hakim Optical is the place to go for a great selection of glasses. And yes, I'll admit they were right! The service was outstanding as well; smiles and super helpful. I'm excited to go back and finish my purchase!

5 star service . Excellent friendly staff. Quick and painless service. Glasses prepared In one week. Even at this busy downtown location. Accommodating with free glasses adjustments and such.

J Daniels

Good service

Roger Bertrand

We are delighted to share our customer experience at that store. We had purchased eyeglasses, that after 3 months of trying to adjust to it, we could not find a way to be satisfied with the eyeglasses. We had an excellent support from the staff of that store, especially Senada, and despite the best efforts of everybody there, the eyeglasses were not for me. We wrote to HAKIM HQ to ask for a solution, and they did provide it: A FULL REIMBURSEMENT within the next 10 days. Needless to say that we were impressed. My wife who uses eyeglasses from that store remains a happy satisfied customer and we will continue to go to that store. Once again, it demonstrates that there are companies that have responsible behaviours. Congratulations.

Went on Tuesday last week get my eye exam and new glasses and the eye doctor was great and funny. The workers were great and so nice. I truly recommend this Hakim cause I got great experience at Portage Hakim.

Radja Mahamba

My experience with this place has been horrible - a waste of my money and of my time. I bought a pair of glaces and within nine months they were pealing off; I took them back and while they were fixing them they broke my lenses. When they put new lenses in, they didn’t match my transitioning lenses. One would be darker the other would stay clear. I went back and was told there’s no warranty on my lenses - even though they installed lenses that didn’t match - all this in a very short a mount of time. I will never waste my money at this place again. This business does not deserve even a single star. I wish there was an option for no star.

Freshcut Downtown

Senada at the portage downtown location was so helpful with picking out frames! Really listened to what I was looking for but also gave great advice on what suits my face shape and size

Dionne Irving

I love my eye wear very much! I love the color and the frame suits my face. I had to have them adjusted recently because the glasses kept sliding off my face. I had them fixed and when I couldn't pick up my glasses I went to the nearest Hakim Optical to get them. Thank you, Hakim Optical, for great glasses! Congratulations on your 50th anniversary! Keep up the excellent work!

Mike Daum

Supremely superior service!! Extremely nice, and very fast good quality work. I most DEFINITELY recommend!!!!!!

Lexi Stone

I love my new glasses, the staff helped me pick out the perfect pair. The store was really well kept and the staff answered every question I had. Super personable, if I ever need glasses again I'll definitely come here!

amanda moore

azra ceric

Excellent service!

Sandy

Extremely high customer service skills!!! Large frame selection, good deals and warranties. Ever since I needed my 1st pair of glasses 11 years ago I have been getting them from Hakim Optical. All the staff at this location are always very friendly and helpful. Will for sure be back ????. Also, extremely friendly doctor on site.

Ahmed Mohamed

I went to Hakim Optical before few days and met Micky and Senada. They are both decent professional customer oriented people. They supported me to get what I needed. It will be the only place I visit from now on. I am appratiave for thier professional service. Please go see those good people.

Cindy Olenick

Awesome service. Very friendly staff!

Cannibal Chad

Came in to get my glasses repaired and was out a few minutes later with them looking good as new! The staff are extremely friendly and helpful here.

Sean Ceaser

Love the staff & selection! Looking for 5 pairs of coloured frames & Senada really knew her stuff & which frames would work for what I wanted. Didn't waste any time there. Got great frames at a great price in no time. It was the summer that I bought these frames & I still love them! Highly recommended!

catherine dueck

I have been going to the downtown location for at least 10 years and never have i been disappointed! My optician Senada Hajdarevic always takes the greatest care with me and will spend as much time as it takes, I never feel rushed! Dr Arwin Kalra is great too, nicest guy with a great sense of humour. If you don't already go to this location and see these amazing people GO NOW

Adrian Collins

I've dealt with a pile of opticals and these guys treated me the best. They're all aces!

Sally Nystrom

The staff at this location has always provided me with excellent and professional service. Senada has assisted me with choosing many pairs of glasses and has recommended different lenses as they have come to the market. For the past year, I've been wearing their own lenses, which are lower priced, but not lower quality than my previous lenses. I have always felt that Senada and other staff who have helped me, are assisting me to buy the product that works best for me. I have never felt pressured to purchase the more expensive product when a lower priced one works for me. I love the extensive choice of frames. The staff provides great help in choosing a frame that fits me well and suits me and my requirements. Thanks Senada and Hakim staff from 412 Portage Avenue, Winnipeg.

Excellent customer service, friendly & knowledgeable staff, convenient downtown location. I highly recommend Hakim Optical.

Deniro Sanchez

Very helpful went above and beyond to get me to see again

Catherine Yaning

Senada is the best contact lens fitter I've ever met! Went to get contact lens for my new prescription, she is amazing! She is very knowledgeable, she did me many detailed test to help me choose the best fit. She explained some problems I had before which no eye doctor never ever explained to me. She is very friendly and patience. I'm just a customer and I'm truly thankful to the wonderful service I've received.

Izabel Santos

I got my first pair of glasses there. I strongly recommend to talk to Senada, she's awesome! Very patient and sweet. Thank you for everything!

Jasna Chang

Came in the other day looking for particular frame and was surprised how large their selection is. The staff was super nice. Leslie was the one helping me and i was blown away how knowlageble and professional she was. Highy recomend her for any of your optical concerns.

Loose Wheel

Senada is the reason I keep coming back to Hakim Optical. She ensures I have the proper frames and lenses for my complicated prescription and the glasses always look stylish as well. As well, Senada is the ONLY person I will allow to fit and adjust my glasses. She has the "magic" touch for the many adjustments I've needed over the years (I try to be careful with my glasses but life happens! Lol) Thank you Senada and Hakim Optical !

Extremely satisfied with the customer service I received. Caitlyn helped me but everyone of the staff members contributed to helping me find the right glasses for me. Went in for one and walked out with three! Highly recommend the Portage Avenue location!

Se n ada

Store had lots of selection. Staff were very friendly and knowledgable about product and spent a lot of time answering my questions. I will definitely refer any family or friends who are looking to buy glasses. Also, the doctor was very nice. Mike

Jennifer Jones

Hakim folks are the best!! In on April 11th/18, helped by Elena and Adam, my new glasses were adjusted and received excellent professional yet personal service. Bought 4 pair glasses and ❤️ them all. Elena knew just what I liked. Can’t say enough good, no wonderful things about the service I received. My glass are like me... full of personality! Love, love and more love. JJ

Neda Hajdarevic

Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. Also, big lab is on sight and glasses come in fast. Very friendly doctor on sight too. Strongly recommend this location.

Claudia Lin

If you value your eyesight, go to Hakim. No words can adequately express how great of an experience I had at Hakim on Portage. I was a previous patient at a different eye centre, but after coming to Hakim, I can't go back. Aside from amazing customer service, what stood out to me the most is that they are knowedgable on what they do, giving me loads of valuable information I hadn't known before--I can't stress enough how important this is to me. At my previous optical centre, no one guided me on how I should take care of my glasses/contact lenses, that at this point I could've lost my vision already. With Hakim's help, I'm certain of a bright and healthy future for my eyes. That's not to say the customer services pales in comparison. Every visit I've made all the employees have been so kind and caring. They treat you with so much care, you can feel how genuine they are in wanting to help you find the most comfortable and suitable fit for your eyewear. Not once have I been made to feel as if I were annoying or a nuisance, and trust me, I've spent hours there with lots of questions and I've come in multiple times for adjustments. They are consistently a pleasure to meet with. I'm really not one to write reviews, but this place blew me out of the water. I trust Hakim so much. You should too, you won't regret it.

Melanie Falvo

SUCH a friendly and helpful staff. I will definitely be visiting them again soon. I highly recommend this location!

Michael Pham

Great customer service and great frames!

Raini Bowers

I've been a customer for close to six years. I've always received friendly and helpful service. They have a great selection of frames and the quality is always good.

Holly Bertram

During the last three years I have purchased six great pairs of eye glasses from this exceptional dispensing optician. I originally went in looking for blue light eye protection. Senada the manager demonstrated the benefits of Blueshield lenses. I now have two pairs with my distance/progressive prescription and two pairs without any prescription for reading, writing and technology uses. I just received two pairs of tinted safety glasses - delivered from out-of-province in just two days! Because of their discounts, the cost of multiple pairs has been extremely reasonable. Management and staff have been able to completely satisfy my eyewear needs efficiently, quickly, and cost effectively. I have been very pleased!

Kyle Shore

Senada is the best. She helped me find great frames for my big head and gave me great service. I don't have insurance and my prescription is bonkers, so I really appreciated her assistance in finding the correct deal for me. I usually pay far more for my eyeglasses than I did here.

Berina Kozic

Love this place! Very friendly and knowlagable staff. All the Glasses I have purchased over the years have been very stylish. Definetly recommend their contact lenses!

Sandie Foster

Staff at this location are extremely professional, courteous and friendly. I have done business here for many years and have never been disappointed! Great selection of eyewear, competitive prices and great quality. Every staff member is great and Senada is the best for contacts!
