Mixed feelings and honestly a bit disappointed. I visited with my sister to give her a birthday present as we are twins and while the iris photography itself was unique and beautiful, the process of buying felt uncomfortable. Prices weren’t discussed until after the photos were taken even though I asked the seller prior to everything his reply was "don't worry we will discuss everything after". We were then asked about frame type, gloss, and size without knowing how those choices would affect the cost. When we chose the smallest option, the man subtly questioned our choice as to why we are going for the smallest option to then quote us €500 which was completely unexpected.
We ended up going for a smaller lightbox version for €240, which we only learned about after expressing concern but also that felt steep too.

Whilst I am sure that the point of the sellers is to sell, I dont believe it was a fair marketing strategy. It all left a...
Read moreWe had a wonderful experience today with our family at the iris studio, thanks to Salma. She took the time to explain everything in great detail, offering unique and literal "insights" ;) into our eyes that were both fascinating and personal. While she mainly spoke Spanish, I was pleasantly surprised by how fluent her English was—and how effortlessly she switched between languages to help multiple customers at once. You can really tell that Salma does her job with passion and a genuine heart for people. She made the whole experience feel thoughtful and special....

Wonderful Victoria and her fellow colleague, were speaking fluently 3 languages between them and managed to create a very cosy environment for the guests! Victoria was genuinely bubbly and smiley and was so passionate about the art pieces that she was giving me awesome details about my iris!!
