Complimentary Styling

Personal Eyewear Styling in Carmel

Finding glasses here isn't a chore. In a complimentary one-on-one session, your stylist brings the most flattering options to you, and you leave in frames you genuinely love.

The Session

Finding glasses without the overwhelm

Curated for you

Your stylist hand-selects an assortment based on your lifestyle, face shape, skin tone, and personal aesthetic.

Beyond prescriptions and trends

Every recommendation is intentional, chosen to fit beautifully, flatter naturally, and feel like an extension of your own style.

Brands with stories

As an independent boutique, we carry exclusive, design-forward brands with distinctive points of view, paired to your identity rather than just your wardrobe.

Fully custom, if you want it

Thema offers the largest selection of customizable eyewear available. If you can imagine it, we can help you create it.

Your Stylists

Experts at finding your new look

Owner Mollie Tavel and her stylists work one-on-one with you, introducing exceptional frames that align with your unique look. Review after review tells the same story: they suggest a pair you would never have chosen, and it becomes the pair you love.
