Azar Tailoring

Azar is great! His prices are very reasonable and he did an amazing job tailoring a sheath dress for me. He also lengthened a pair of white linen pants to perfection for me, and sewed up two button blouses– thread matched perfectly and the stitching is high quality. He works during the work week, I believe, so I always had my things done on weekends or week nights.

This isn’t a business. It’s a side business that he runs from home when he’s not at his part time job. The woman who answers the phone to whom other reviewers keep mentioning is his wife who doesnt speak English answering the house phone which doubles as the business phone. Now that that’s cleared up, he does amazing work at an awesome price.

Azar is awesome! Does amazing work at a great price! My husband and I have both been driving out to him for years.
The business is from his home, that is why folks may get his wife and Im not sure about his website, i’ve never gone to it. He works full time otherwise, so is a bit harder to schedule, but he is very accomodating with late night pickups after he gets off work!

Called twice at reasonable times on different days only to have a woman answer saying hello and the when getting the tailor hangs up. Not sure what is happening but its poor customer service.

The website is down and I’ve not been able to get through by telephone. A lady did answer the phone one time but didn’t seem able to put me in touch with Mr. Azar… not sure what’s going on.

I’m very happy that I found Azar Tailoring. I took four suit jackets here that needed to be completely re-​sized (I bought them from Jos A Bank but when I tried to get them to resize the jackets a few years later, there they said that it couldn’t be done and wanted me to buy more suits instead).
Mr. Azar fixed the jackets with no problem and did an amazing job at a great price. He is very friendly and pleasant to work with. I will go to him for all of my tailoring needs from now on.
If you are looking for a tailor for life, this is the place to go.

Mr. Azar did an amazing job hemming and adjusting my pants. I thought I only had 4 – 6 pants but I ended up taking 21 pants in one row. Overall, I am VERY pleased with his work and will not hesitate to go back for any future hemming jobs. He’s really a pro at what he does and has been in the tailoring business for many years. He quoted me $ 13/​pant and it was well worth every penny.

I just bought a tux (from a major store, but via online) for a formal business occasion. I wanted to avoid my local dry cleaners who have had trouble with minor repairs, so I didn’t trust them with hemming slacks, taking in the waist, and shortening sleeves of a tux jacket. So I needed an experienced pro. A search on Unilocal found Azar Tailoring, and the previous review. It seemed to be just what I was looking for. It turned out even better. Mr. Azar is awesome, his service is excellent, and his work is top notch. You will not be disappointed. I rarely write reviews (bad me) but I had to for this shop!
I dropped by tux off Thursday evening at his home shop (which is a converted garage stuffed with every kind of tailoring and sewing machine you could imagine). Mr Azar is a wonderful and kind guy, who is a pleasure to visit with. He quoted me a very reasonable price and I understood I’d pick it up either Saturday evening (after his regular shift at the local Mens Warehouse store) or Sunday morning. Because I’d bought 3 suits at his MW store, I was very confident the work would be great. While talking to him I also discovered he could shorten the sleeves on a leather jacket I’ve had several years, but have always been unhappy with the fit.
My wife and I show up Saturday evening, and find out I misunderstood him… the pants were ready but not the jacket, and I still needed to return Sunday morning. Still, I left him the leather jacket and another that needed the lining repaired — told him I was in no hurry and would get them next weekend. I tested the hemmed pants while we were there, and they were perfect. We also had a chance to visit him, learn a bit about his family, and discover what a kind, courteous, and wonderful guy he is. They don’t make craftsmen like Mr Azar much anymore these days…
So, I returned just now (Sun morning), and not only was the tux jacket now finished (and perfect, I might add), he had ALSO done the two leather jackets. He explained he was unhappy I’d had to make an extra trip the previous night and he was trying to make up for it. THAT’s service. I was quite surprised and very impressed. I didn’t really mind that I’d come by, and was not upset in the least, but he wanted to prevent me from making an extra trip. Awesome. And all the work was perfect.
Trust me, you won’t find a better guy to do business with for all your tailoring needs, and I cannot recommend Mr Azar highly enough. If I were allowed, I’d give him 6 stars. My wife and I are already thinking of a few other items we need to have work done on, that we’d never gotten around to.

Hassib Azar is an amazing man. He provided me with a renewed faith that there are still amazing customer moments to be had in this «who cares» day and age.
I was in town from Southern California for an important business meeting (writing this from my hotel room in fact) and had discovered I had left my suit on the couch at home as I rushed out the door to catch a flight. It was Sunday afternoon and my meeting was at 8:00 a.m. Monday. So Sunday afternoon at about 5:30 pm I walked into the local Men’s Wearhouse. Thinking I was surely out of luck (I’m a 48-​short w/​a 30″ inseam) the salesman knew he had me «over a barrel.» So he found me a nice navy pinstriped job that did not fit well — at all. especially the pants — being an unfinished bottom. I told him he was wasting his time as I needed them for a morning meeting. I insisted he quit badgering me into a sale he wasn’t going to make as I knew there was no conceivable way to get alterations done by that time. That’s where he knew he had me. He had a secret weapon…
This is when the magic started. Mind you… they are now closing — it’s 6:00pm on Sunday. The salesman asked me to wait while he went and spoke to a slight little elderly gentleman with the traditional tape measure draped leisurely over his shoulders. After a few moments, up he walks and motions me to step up onto the tailors platform facing the 3-​way mirror. I reiterated my faux pas and reminded all within earshot that any suit they were going to sell me needed to be ready not later than 6: am — or preferably that night. He said it would not be a problem… He would take it home with him and that I could pick it up at 9:00pm. Hot damn! I thought… What was sure to be a lousy, lonesome and depressing dinner turned out the be the celebration of hospitality that I though was gone forever… The triumphant return of a feeling lost. Something my dad used to tell me about… I was experiencing REAL customer service.
So in a daze I walked out the door and found some local Irish fare as I celebrated my little victory by myself. Content, I sipped my suds and found my way through a doozy of a chicken pot pie (O’Faolain’s). Great … now the pants wouldn’t fit. About 8:45 I called Mr Azar to see how he was progressing. Expecting a bait and switch job, I was pleased to hear him declare — in his broken English — the job was complete, and said I should come try it on and pick it up.
I arrived 10 minutes later at his humble Northern VA suburban tract home where he invited me in. Yes… his home! He escorted me back to what was once a garage now turned into an old-​world, behind-​the-​scenes tailor shop. Old, sturdy sewing machines with thick needles and lots of mileage. Pictures of his beautiful daughters with their families hung on the wall. I asked him about his family and the place he had come from. Lebanon, he said… 12 years ago. He then began bragging about each of his 6 daughters and his one son and their families. He is truly a completed man. Is it any wonder, I thought, why he was made to learn to sew? Necessity is the mother …
Any way, you can guess the rest; this is where I tried on the suit and it fit better than any I had ever worn, etc… I thanked him profusely, paid and tipped him handsomely and tried to relate that service like his was a rarely-​seen bird in this country and he was the kind of person that makes the world a better place. Indeed, makes being a man a wondrous thing.
So remember, you read it here first:
«If you find a great tailor… you’ve found a man’s hero.»
Thanks Mr. Azar. You’re my hero.
