No Ho Shoe Repair Alteration Cleaners

This is a great fast shoe repair service located in the Noho Arts District. Mr. Ruben is a great craftsman and he pays great amount of detailed attention to his work. At this location he also offers Alterations and Dry Cleaning Services.
I have been using his services for over 10 years and only 10 months here at this location.
I am glad I found him again and will use his professional services for my dry cleaning, alterations and shoe repair needs.
Thank you Mr. Ruben

Great customer service and 5 star for alternations! I would defiantly come back. Highly recommended!

I brought in a leather jacket to have the zipper repaired and to also have the lining sewn where it was beginning to tear. He quoted me a very fair price (considering what the jacket costs) and had it ready in a very reasonable time. When i went to pick it, he showed me where he had also sewn (at no additional charge) in the arm pit that had begun pulling apart! i am very pleased with Ruben’s work and will recommend him!

I brought the guy two shirts that were slightly different sizes mens style and fitted because womens shirts are too fitted for my body type and not designed for serving. I wanted the sleeves shorter. I thought he would have made sure both were about the same length, but he didn’t. I gave him the shirt back to take it up more. Instead of taking it up and in from the armpit area, he cut from the bottom instead of notifying me before doing to, which ultimately ruined my shirt. I asked him for the shirt back and said I will find a way to fix it. He laughed at me and told me to buy a new shirt. I came to the guy for help assuming he’d help me because I don’t own a sewing machine. Instead he just took advantage of me because I don’t know everything about tailoring.

DO NOT EVER, EVER GO HERE!!! This guy is an ass to start with and he charges a fortune. When I came to pick up my shoes he told me he had ruined a brand new pair of my Diane Von Furstenburg shoes and he had just thrown them out as well! He couldn’t find another pair of my boots and had me looking myself for the rest of my shoes. Then he tells me the boots he did repair were $ 28 and I told him that I still had other items that he had repaired. He starts arguing with me as to why don’t I know what I’ve dropped off to have fixed as if it’s my business to do his job for him. The nerve of this guy seriously. I do not wish ill on others however this guy shouldn’t be in business.

I bought a gorgeous dress from the 1950s for a singing performance that needed alteration. Not happy.

Best place for shoe repair! Always good work done. Owner is a solid guy and will work with you to get your repair done sooner.

I love this place. Another little local business, but the old guy who runs it is the best. His English is only so-​so, but he’s just really nice and gets the job done. Cleaning isn’t on site, but he does his own alterations by hand the old-​fashioned way (his sewing machine must be from the THIRTIES!) and the prices on repairs are very reasonable. And, again, because of the neigborhood, the place is set up for walk-​ins. Parking’ a problem, but that’s true for the whole neighborhood.

Tailoring services I would give 4 stars.
Customer service is what brought this down to 1 star (zero if they had the option).
I needed a bridesmaid dress tailored to be let out. Everyone was turning me down but the guy here was nice enough to take my business and try. He did a great job in the few days I had, even though I had to keep following up with him as I never received a call about my item being ready.
Unfortunately, as I went to pick it up and after I paid he gave me the universal arms out sign for a hug. I felt weird about it but naively thought, ‘what’s the worst that can happen’? I went in for the hug and as he held onto me tightly, he whispered to in my ear «I like young women». As I pulled away as fast as I could out of his grip to collect my belongings, he decided to reach out and touch my breast. I stormed out and will NEVER go back.
If you are a young woman, DO NOT go here alone. He may seem like a nice innocent older man, unfortunately he is not that.
Like I said, good tailoring work but it’s not worth it for this type of treatment.

No one was able to repair my pair of shoes! and i mean no one!
i took a good 45 minute drive to the place after speaking to him over the phone, he was extra confident! My Ferragamo looked nicer than the first time i purchased it, sounds funny but its true. I was lucky to come across this place, Couldn’t be more thankful.
Extremely nice staff, price was outstanding compared to what i paid for the shoe and it looking better afterwards.
Thank You.

Great, friendly and fast service.
I came in withy who pairs of boots to be water-​proofed and one pair of boots with the soul coming apart. It was very inexpensive and will be ready tomorrow.

Went in for a leather watch band that needed to be fixed. The holding had come off of the bezel and needed to sand it and glue it together. He got it, did the work, gave me instructions to keep it together and that’s it. FREE OF CHARGE. Nice guy, perhaps misunderstood. I would definitely go back to anyone who would help a stranger out after telling me he was having a bad day because business is slow.

Recently, I was looking for an Alteration place to have a zipper changed for one of my jeans. I checked on Unilocal,I called various places in the area to shop around, but I settled w. this one since it’s the closest.
A gentleman told me over the phone it’d cost me $ 20 and the pants would be ready next day (I found a better deal elsewhere — $ 15, but it was further).
I went to drop off my pants, the place is bigger that I thought, very clean. The older gentleman that works there is a character. Very nice, looked at my pants (I told him he doesn’t need to use the same yellow thread). He was smiling and asked if I needed my button hole fixed also. I told him that it’s OK, he shouldn’t bother with it. He told me it’d cost me $ 15, less than the initial estimate, which is always nice. I paid when I picked up the pants, the next day. He did a very nice job, and also fixed the button hole. He went the extra mile to do a great job because he takes pride in his work. That moved me, it was such a nice gesture!
He takes credit cards, but he prefers cash. I paid cash.
Parking– street parking.
Great place to go to if you need clothing & shoes alterations.

One of my employees went over here to get service and was told that he did not want to serve her because «Black People» are hard to work with. It was a total disrespect to her and the African American Race. I will no longer be using his services or recommending him to any of my clients or friends.

I had about seven pairs of designer shoes to fix. One pair was completely worn out, basically ready for trash. I just loved them so much so I kept them and decided to give it a try. So I took my precious shoes to this awesome place. I can’t describe how impressed I was when I got my stuff back. The job was excellent!!! Every single pair looked like brand new including that pair that I believed cannot be repaired!!!

I was so excited when this place moved in nearby! I had piles of stuff in need of repair and alterations.
I started taking my things to him a few items at a time and we’d go over everything– broken zippers, dresses and jackets that needed to be taken in, linings of leather suitcases that had been ripped to shreds over the years– you name it.
He’d give me a good price on each item and it was always fixed by when he promised. My pile of stuff to fix got smaller and smaller and finally disappeared. :)
The three stars instead of five are for two reasons:
1) not every time, but at least once, my things were balled up in a drawer when I came to pick them up. The other times, they were on a hanger. (Obviously, I prefer the latter. What’s with the first one?)
2) once or twice he has passed judgement and told me something is not worth fixing; I’m a sentimental person so I’ve brought in things like a knockoff purse or a tattered pair of pants that I wanted to fix for personal reasons and was discouraged from doing so. While I respect that he is trying to be honest with me, I could do without the judgement. Fabric holds memories, and I want to feel like mine are respected, even if it seems silly.

I had the best experience here. My cousin went here and told me about it and I love it. I won’t take my things anywhere else. i had some jeans that were too big and he tailored them perfectly. The nicest owner and great prices. Top notch quality work. I’ve tried other places around that didnt even get the job done for 5 times the amount and this place is the best. New shop and very clean. Definitely try.
