Most definitely the best optometry appointment I’ve ever had. Errin was exceptionally thorough and efficient, personable and professional. She took the time to explain what to expect for each of the tests, and what everything meant. It was a great experience. The ladies out front with the frames were also very friendly and funny. I enjoyed the whole visit and would recommend this place for anyone looking for A+ eye care in the city.

Stina had amazing energy. She also had a great eye for which frames would suite my face. I chose a pair of glasses and got them ordered in a different color that wasn’t in stock and nose pads added. Loved the level of service!

Stina at Durant Sessions Gastown is absolutely exceptional. From the moment I walked in, the experience felt professional, welcoming, and completely dialed in. Stina has an incredible eye for detail, really listens to what you want, and somehow makes the whole appointment feel effortless while still delivering a flawless result. The Gastown location has a great atmosphere — stylish, relaxed, and very comfortable — and Stina brings the perfect balance of skill, confidence, and warmth. You can tell she genuinely cares about her clients and takes pride in her work. The end result was exactly what I was hoping for and even better than expected. If you are looking for one of the best hair experiences in Vancouver, I highly recommend booking with Stina at Durant Sessions Gastown. Five stars all the way.

This was my first time visiting Durant Sessions, and I had an excellent experience. Afarin was incredibly patient, friendly, and knowledgeable. She took the time to explain all the different frame and lens options and helped me find the perfect pair of glasses for my needs. I never felt rushed, and she made the entire process easy and enjoyable. Her professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine care for customers really stood out. Thank you, Afarin, for all your help! I highly recommend Durant Sessions to anyone looking for outstanding service and quality eyewear.

Dr.Bligh was extremely professional and you can instantly tell her level of knowledge, experience, and care. Best eye exam I've ever had. I would definitely be going back for all future eye exams!

We had such a wonderful experience at Durant Sessions Gastown. Afrin helped us choose a couple of beautiful Jacques Marie Mage frames, including a very special limited-edition pair and she was absolutely fantastic throughout the process. She has such a great eye, is incredibly knowledgeable and made the whole experience feel thoughtful and personal. Afrin has become our go-to for beautiful eyewear and we highly recommend her and the wonderful team at Durant Sessions Gastown. Their selection, service and attention to detail are excellent. A fantastic place for glasses that feel like an investment piece!

About That Life · Google · 17 May 2026

Durrant Sessions was one of the highlights of my Vancouver birthday trip. The boutique itself is beautiful and tucked inside a historic building with incredible character, and the entire experience felt thoughtful, personal, and genuinely special from start to finish. I came in looking for a pair of Jacques Marie Mage sunglasses and had the pleasure of working with Stina for nearly two hours. I have honestly never experienced that level of care, expertise, and attention while shopping for eyewear before. She introduced me to such a wide range of frames, noticed subtle differences in fit and proportion that I would have never picked up on myself, and really took the time to understand my style and what suited my face best. What stood out most was how natural and collaborative the experience felt. There was no pressure whatsoever, just genuine passion, warmth, and an incredible eye for detail. By the end, we both knew exactly which pair was “the one,” and I left with a pair of JMM sunglasses that I am completely obsessed with and that will always remind me of this trip. Luxury retail can sometimes feel transactional, but this felt personal, curated, and deeply memorable. Thank you again to Stina and the team at Durrant Sessions for such a special experience. I will absolutely be back the next time I’m in Vancouver. Till next time! - Jared

This is the best eyeglass shop in Vancouver, especially for high end brands like Jacques Marie Mage (I am obsessed). Stina and the staff are the BEST, so helpful, fun, and cool. Amazing service and great products. Highly recommend. 5/5 stars.
