INEXPENSIVEANDTIMELYWEDDINGGOWNALTERATIONS: I came here in February 2014 for my wedding gown to be taken in. She did a perfect job and delivered on the day she was supposed to. Her fee was less than half what my bridal store wanted to charge! I loved it so much that when my buddy Rachel got married earlier this year, I had her bring her gown in for alterations to this lady. Rachel’s gown fit perfectly and she was very pleased with both the timing and the price. Clean location, despite it being inside a hair salon. The tailor speaks English well and there is no communication problem. She also is very nice and smiles. I felt at ease with her. Be prepared for a tiny makeshift dressing area if you are trying on the clothes. Also, this place is super busy so be prepared for parking issues. Remember that for the savings, it is worth it. On the level of a bridal gown tailoring, we literally saved hundreds of dollars. Not sure I’d make the effort to come out here for a pant hem b/c of the parking issue. Well worth it for savings for wedding gown alterations, though. Most people post bad reviews because surprises occur. This is a small business. They don’t accept credit cards, so bring cash. They prefer you prepay for your service — can you blame them, it’s a small business. Call before you come in and pick up your clothes to make sure they are ready. They won’t call you. Also, call if you aren’t sure about hours. It’s not that hard, people.

I will keep this review short and sweet as I am on the go and infuriated. This tailor is around the area where I am running errands today so I thought I would give her a try to hem my jeans. The craftsmanship was terrible. I was appalled to see a snip damage at the leg opening and the stitching on the inside of the hem was done without a care in the world. Please do not come here. Have your alteration done elsewhere. I will not be returning as it is very upsetting that she damaged a new pair of jeans. Also, it costs $ 12 to replace a broken zipper because my order was rushed. They did not seem busy so I also can’t justify the price. If it was done well, maybe I wouldn’t be as frustrated, but either way, I will not be returning.

I thought she did a good job with the slacks and coat I dropped off. It’s kind of weird they’re located in a salon, but whatever. Closed Sundays!

I’ve been going here for all of my alterations(except for my wedding gown) for the past 10 years. The lady is nice and always punctual with your requests. I just came in last week with 8 pairs of jeans and my hubby’s sports coat, and she had them done in 5 days. Her prices have gone up since 10 years ago(original hem which was once $ 9 is now $ 12), but she’s still the best for the price that I’ve found. I’ve had dresses taken in and jacket sleeves shortened($ 18), too, in addition to the regular hem($ 6) and original hem of pants and jeans. Located inside King Hair Salon. Cash only.

I have been going to this place for the past 10 plus years, but now I will never go back again. I brought two new pairs of jeans to this place for a simple hem and the lady totally mess up(cut way too short). It was like 4 inches different! She destroyed two new pairs of perfectly fine jeans THAT I CANNOLONGERWEAR. The worst thing was that she would not amid she has messed up and keep making other excuses that I brought the wrong pants or I wore it wrong during measuring, or that it is only a few inches different?! Finally, after she has screwed up my two brand new jeans, she said she don’t want my business anymore because I am so unreasonable?! I brought in 4 items(1 shirt, 1 slack, 2 jeans). To be fair since she did the shirt and slack correctly and thinking she might be a single mom(saw a little boy there); I left her $ 20 of the $ 23. She took the money but still continue to argue?! I know it is a small business(mom/pap style), but it should still be honest when mistake is made. All I want this to be resolved and I never asked her to pay for the damages. Instead, the lady gave me excuses while she denied her true mistake. Now, I have two pairs of high water, Michael Jackson style jeans that are NOTWEARABLE.

This place has cheap alterations. It’s located in the same space as King Salon, which is kind of weird, but what do I care. My alterations are usually done in 3 – 4 days, and I’ve always been satisfied with the quality. Granted, I only get simple alterations done(hem pants). I wouldn’t recommend coming here to get ridiculously expensive items like your wedding dress altered, but it works for all other purposes. The owner is really nice, and she’s willing to give your clothing priority if you need her to.
