Basic Tailor Shop

My experience with this shop was disapponting.
1) The alterations were not finished in the time specified, because someone went on vacation. If I was told that before I would’ve been fine, but wasn’t told and made a trip I didn’t need to make.
2) Pants were still too long after initial alterations. I questioned him as he was measuring me because it looked too long, and he said that it was perfect. When I tried it on it was still too long by about a half inch or so.
3) when I had them redo the pants they made it too short. Same situation, different tailor, I I told him I think it looks too short. I’m not sure if he understood what I was saying, so I kept trying to tell him I think it was too short, he said he thought it was okay. Nope, was too short. Had to have them redo it again.
4) when I asked for the redo on the alteration, the person who I believe is the owner kind of scolded me and said next time don’t tell me this is too long. I told you the length of ok when you first came in. & I tried to explain to him that the other person working there agreed that it was too long. And he wouldn’t listen to me. I just told him I’m not here to argue I just would like it taken care of.
5) I had some work done on a jacket and the work was not done successfully. One of the measurements was off and I had to have them redo that too.
6) even had a simple cold I just needed to be mended in a shirt. When I came in to pick up the whole batch of alterations that mending had not yet been done, the good news is they did it very quickly in the store and they did it really well. But was just disappointed that it wasn’t done before I came and tried to pick it up.
I will say, that the people who came in while I was trying on pants and getting the work done all seemed to love the place, and were very complimentary, so maybe your experience would be different from mine. But for me I’m going to look for another alteration person in Fountain Valley Huntington Beach area.

I’ve gone to a couple of places to get a myriad of things tailored. The tailors here have been the best so far. They have done the best and most professional job of making my bootcut jeans into skinny jeans for a reallllly good price. They’ve patched rips on my favorite jeans, fixed a backpack with a ripped strap, and sewn a rip on my nice shirt. They’ve always done a fantastic job within a reasonable time at a great price.

So came here for the first time. Seems cool or like a tailor place supposed to look like BUSY. dropped off my Jeans today 1−15−15 and pick up is 1−22−15 not sure if they are that busy or something but I’m just making my jeans a bit shorter that’s it. So we will see. Check back again for the results thanks.

I just had 2 pants zippers fixed and hemmed, great job! $ 5 for hem is awesome, even keeps same stitch on jeans.

I’ve gotten jeans hemmed here. It’s cheap but nothing that great. I’d rather go to a different place.

So I’m about the size of a seventh grader. (I wonder if my aversion to drinking milk by itself is the cause… if only my mother were more creative…)
My pants drag on the ground. Even if I buy petite and short lengths in jeans, I still have to get them altered.
Hello Basic Tailor! (convieniently located near Starbucks)
$ 5 to mend any kind of pants. I got 4 pants done, it took a week, and they didn’t charge tax. Awesome. Now I am no longer a pants-​dragging-​cesspool-​of-​germs.
Only downside is the shop looks like a mess and some of the workers don’t speak good english.
