What happens during a styling appointment?
In our relaxed boutique style studio, we:
Offer you a coffee… or a glass of bubbly
Identify your Style Personality and Colour Type
Analyse your facial features


Do your glasses reflect who you are? Do your glasses make you look and feel great when you wear them?
If the answer is no, it’s time to visit Forrest Optical Styling Studio!
We know you’ve seen amazing styles before, but most people struggle to find them in a regular high-street optician. That is why Forrest Optical Styling Studio is different: our bespoke service focuses on finding frames that suit your eyewear needs and are as full of personality as you are.
That's why we travel the world, from Paris to Milan, and bring the best glasses back to our customers in Ledbury, giving you international style without leaving Herefordshire!
We are here to take the stress out of choosing and can offer you a totally new experience. We conduct colour, facial and style analysis to ensure that your glasses are perfect for you, and take away the time usually spent trying on frames that don’t work for you.
It is our aim to take the confusion out of your personal style.

Forrest Optical Styling Studio is simply the best!
The customer service, attention to detail and personal touch, from the first consultation to the final fitting is second to none. A huge range of ultra stylish frames to choose from with expert help all along the way. I can't recommend them highly enough.

Having a styling session at Forrest Optical
is a real experience.
Marie and Lisa always give great advice and are at pains to ensure that their clients are happy with their choice ... and there are plenty of choices. I now have 3 pairs of beautiful glasses and love them all. I highly recommend a visit, you won't regret it.

I don't normally get excited about buying a new pair of specs, but the entire experience at Forrest with Marie & Lisa is exceptional!
You will enjoy it, be inspired, be confident in the
choice you make, and thrilled with the outcome
(and it won't break the bank).
We won't think about going anywhere else for all our future optical needs! Great reason to visit Ledbury too!

I’m on my second pair of frames now and
I cannot recommend Lisa and Marie
highly enough!
From my first session to the most recent I’ve felt cosseted, expertly advised and supported. And I have had so many compliments here and abroad from spectacle wearers and non wearers alike.
Please do try them - you won’t regret it!
