| - Stupidly, I took several things into this place to be altered and was only happy with the results of one pair out of four.
None of them were ready when they said they would be and I only got excuses when I asked why they weren't ready on time. If you decided you do want to go here, I suggest you call first to be sure your items are finished.
Initially, when I wanted the owner to measure each leg of the pants I wanted altered, instead of making both legs exactly the same, he refused to do it and made a chalk mark from the floor up on the second leg. When I finally got them back, the legs hung very uneven and I had to go back and have him redo them again. He told me he was going to use the original hem of the jeans, because they were distressed looking, and he didn't do as he said he would. He ended up just giving me a pants hem with the same color thread as the rest of the seams.
Then when I asked for a pair of knit pants to be shortened and asked that he make the new hem look the same as the original, he cut off the original hem and shoddily sewed it back on in a way that you could see every zigzagged stitch through the fabric. I took these back too and asked to have them done the right way. I got more excuses about how much time it would have taken him to do it the way I wanted it done, compared to only the few minutes it took him to do it the first time. I guess if it's going to take more than a few minutes he takes poorly crafted short cuts and hopes you don't notice. He should have told me he didn't want to make an original hem in the first place and I would have taken them someplace else. My suggestion is to find another tailor if you want something made properly and you want to get it back on time. I certainly won't be going back.
BTW, while I was there waiting for my things to be ready, another customer came in to pick up a jacket that was being tailored and it wasn't ready on time either.
The reason it got two stars instead of one is because they use green cleaning products.
I think the second review of this place was written by the owners.
