U Need Alteration and Cleaner

Female worker is great at altering my dress, ask her to fix two different kind she was reasonable, and did perfect job in the end.

I am a blue jeans person who prefers his jeans WITHOUT rips, tears or holes in the knees, legs, etc. I am from a time in which one expected jeans to last (intact) for years and years. Unfortunately, these days jeans are made very cheaply and wear out quickly leaving holes, particularly in the knees and pockets. At U Need Alteration I found the absolute, hands-​down, best jeans hole repairer EVER. This lady patches holes, rips and tears fantastically — in a manner that is strong, long-​lasting, and that often you can hardly see: constructing patchwork from the inside out, patchwork that matches and almost returns the denim fabric back its original look and condition. Thank you, «U Need Alteration», you are terrific and the best thing that’s happened to my jeans since the 1960s. LOL.

I’ve been using U Need Alteration for minor alterations for a couple years. Recently I decided to put the owner here to the test with a very difficult task — altering a Burberry Brit quilted jacket. I must admit that I was terrified bringing in a $ 500 jacket that seemed nearly impossible to alter. However, I was assured that it would not be a problem. I’m happy to report that this place delivered yet again! The quality was extremely high and you can’t tell that that anything was altered at all. I would have been willing to pay quite a bit to have the alterations done correctly but I was only charged $ 40.
I highly recommend this place for both basic and complex alterations.

I usually bring my clothes that need alteration there. The lady is really nice. They do a great job each time I go there and they are usually done really quickly.
I brought a jacket to fix today and it was fixed in a matter of hours.

I am very happy with the alterations on my bridesmaid dress. I had it taken in on the sides and the hem shortened, and it looked like it was even better quality then when I first bought it! The service was fast, and expertly done. I will be taking all my alteration needs here in the future!

She has SAVED countless bridesmaids dresses for me. I walk in tearful and hating the dress… we brainstorm… she fixes… I come get it a week later and fall in love. This is a story that has played out time and time again. Go here for all your alteration needs… especially those horrible bridesmaid dresses.

She’s very nice and thorough, however, tried to hem to show some shoe… I kept trying to say no shoe showing, and it can drag a tad, but when I got the dress back it was way too short to wear any heel (the shoe I tried on was 2 inches). So I ended up having to wear flats for a gorgeous tulle dress.
Hesitant to try her again on a more important bridesmaid dress.

So I took my clothing to a different dry cleaner last week & wasn’t satisfied with the quality of the cleaning because they didn’t get the stains out in my suit. So kept searching the very day I picked my garments from the previous place that had good ratings & was on point with the service. I came across U Need on Unilocal here & read the reviews which made me curious about the place because I live all the way in the Inner Richmond area; I called them asked & asked if they were able to help me in which they explained it may be hard to remove sweat & food stains on the suit & blazer.
A couple hours later I stopped by & was greeted then showed Kitty the problem areas on the clothing and she herself wasn’t about the stains. She told me come back Thursday & I did and I floored. I everything was perfect the stained were even lighter than before & you couldnt even notice if anything had happened to the garments. Might I add I didn’t even mention I took my clothing to another cleaner until I saw the newest results from her place.
I am very glad I went out of the way to visit this place. The clothing I had cleaned was a light sand colored J. Crew suit & a Michael Kors evening blazer.

Great place. Super nice and got me in very last minute on a Sunday to hem my bridesmaid dress before going out of town. Thank you!!! The only reason not 5 stars is the hem was a *little* uneven. I’m not sure if I moved while standing or what, but I’m sure if I hadn’t been out of town they would have fixed it without question. Would definitely give them another try.

Skeptical about using the dry cleaner for my original jean hem, I took my cheapest pair of jeans in first. Based upon the reviews I was hopeful. She did a great job. I just picked up 3 more pairs of jeans completed today, I got home and tried them all on and they were all perfect! And I have to say, that she had recommended a longer length while I was asking for a bit shorter, but based on the fact she is the expert I agreed to her length and was not disappointed. Great job, will definitely go back for all my alternations in the future!

Lovely friendly service and took care of all special garments. Would recommend highly

I found this place on Unilocal.I immediately went on Saturday to see what they could do about the water stains I had all over my silk blouse. The very nice woman behind the counter told me there was very little that could be done (evidently oil is easier to get out than water). She told me to go home and wash it in cold water. How many other places would have taken my blouse and cleaned it just to get my money? Well, I went home, washed it and sure enough — it worked! Though I did not have any other dry cleaning I needed dropped off you can bet I will be back when I do! Thank you for helping me fix my favorite blouse!

Kitty is great! She patched a hole in my favorite jeans AND stayed an hour after close so I could pick them up before heading to the airport for a trip overseas. Will come back for sure

Fellow Army Navy Air Force Coasties ets. military folks: Not only is this the best place for regular alterations, it’s also the best place in the city for uniform alternations. Skip the trip to Travis and pay U Need a visit (but bring instructions for hard things like branch buttons!)
My Army Service Uniform (ASU) came out fantastic. My crazy expensive custom pants needed alteration [ugh] and they fixed em right up! I can’t say enough great things about this place.

very thorough and detail oriented! I had my jeans hemmed and you can’t even tell! side note: call ahead prior to picking up your order to ensure it’s ready

GREAT WORK. I’m 5 feet tall and have every pair of pants shortened. I shop a lot too so these gals have hemmed A LOT of pants/​jeans for me over the years. Each pair has been done perfectly with zero issues. They’re great at hemming jeans where you want to keep the original hem. I also had a bridesmaid dress altered pretty significantly and they did a great job. I highly recommend them and wouldn’t go anywhere else!

she is very thorough/​detailed + item was ready as promised + very reasonably priced!
quality = excellent

They did excellent work altering two pairs of pants for me. The alterations were perfect (I didn’t even know the pants could look that good on — what a difference good tailoring makes!). I felt like they listened to my requests and took their time pinning, which is something you sometimes don’t get other places. I only knocked a star off because the price was a little high and the wait time was about 2 weeks (I suspect this is because so many people are return customers and they are busy). For this good of work, totally worth it though. I’ll be using them for all my alteration needs.

What can I say about U Need Alteration and Cleaner that hasn’t already been said about Harry Potter? Its a truly magical spot!
First of all I gotta give my girl Kitty some love, she’s the owner and master seamstress that takes care of all my alteration needs. She’s done simple stuff like hemming pants to actually tailoring suits and tapering pant legs… all on short notice. Bottom line, I would recommend this place to wizards and bridezillas alike. Go talk to Kitty and tell her I sent you, you won’t regret it!

I’ve been taking my husband’s work clothes here to be «laundered» and pressed, and they always do a great job.
They are courteous, do a good job, and are reasonable priced. Really, what more do you need? Also, I asked about alterations and the woman was very helpful. She worked at Bebe as a seamstress for 5 years, and knows her stuff.
