Just landed in Cleveland from California and found out my suit wasn't ready for the wedding. Needless to say, I was panicking. I went online and found Alterations Express right on Royalton Road in Strongsville, and I am beyond impressed. Susanna, the manager, was absolutely outstanding. I walked in, explained the situation, and within 15 minutes my pants were fixed and ready to go for the wedding. Not only was Susanna amazing, but her entire staff was professional, pleasant, and incredibly helpful. So no matter where you're from or where you live, if you're ever in the Cleveland area and need alterations, this is the place to go. Ask for Susanna -- she'll take great care of you. Highly recommend! read more

Alterations Express - Strongsville - My Suit is ready for the Wedding..!! All Thanks to Susana..!! - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - Strongsville, Ohio

I have been going to Alterations Express for years with great experiences- as someone who is 5'2, I am constantly getting things hemmed. However, I am now a forever customer and advocate after my experience here with my wedding dress this summer. After being literally laughed at by multiple bridal alteration shops in the Cleveland area for the timeframe I needed my dress (2 months-which, yes, I realize IS a tight timeframe) Alterations Express in Strongsville, and specifically Suhad, came to the rescue and got it done in just a few weeks. Suhad was incredible, she made me feel totally confident throughout the entire process and made my wedding dress, which was my favorite dress I've ever seen- into my favorite dress I've ever worn. It was complicated, intricate lace detail, fringe and tassels- but I knew Suhad had it more than covered. She is a true professional who seems to genuinely loves what she does, and imparts that confidence and trust into her bridal customers. Thank you, thank you Suhad for your attention to detail, professionalism, and your talent! And thank you to Sabrina as well who helped me and was incredibly kind. Do not think twice about Alterations Express in Strongsville for bridal alterations- you're in the best hands! read more

See all

Terrible!!! The cups that were sewn into my dress were lopsided after being fitted. They did not use a measuring tape to fit either. Shame on them for not refunding $20 for cups I asked them to take out! Their prices are ridiculously high! NEVER AGAIN!! read more

Wow this place is expensive and the service is not good. I went to drop off my daughters jacket to get patches sewed on and the girl at the register said she would help but then just took the jacket and looked at it and didn't tell me what the heck she was doing because I was waiting there and I guess she was calling someone else over for something. Some people don't understand the art of communicating ‍ THE SAME girl then started helping someone else and still didn't tell me what was happening and I felt DUMBFOUNDED about what was going on. Like hello? You were helping me and now you went off to help someone else. AGAIN, she hasn't said anything else and finally a woman came from the back and then gave me a quote and told me it would be done on Thursday ( a week later). So Thursday passed and I didn't hear from them. I called the business on Friday (a day after their anticipated date of completion) and they told me the jacket was done. What is happening at this business? You guys need to do better. And again, it was expensive and the stitches aren't even on the back of the jacket. Bad service Bad quality work Bad communication All equal a BAD review. read more

If I could leave 0 stars I would. I brought 3 pairs of jeans in to be altered just to pay $90 and wait 6 days for them to give me back jeans with crooked stitching, the color stitching did not match as well! Oh and upon trying them on, fit exactly how I dropped them off! Terrible business 10/10 don't recommend read more

I bought my wedding dress from David's Bridal, but specifically wanted to have it altered by Suhad at Alterations Express. Suhad is the nicest, most patient, wonderful human. She explains everything, gives great advice, and has a ton of insight to offer. Thanks to Suhad, I absolutely love my wedding dress (I liked it before I bought it, but **LOVE** it now that Suhad is done with it!!!). I just needed a little expertise. I would absolutely recommend this location for bridal gowns as well as bridesmaid's gowns-- my future stepdaughter had her dress hemmed here as well. I would post a picture of before and after of my wedding dress (because it's AMAZING!) but can't quite yet. ;) Thank you, Suhad for all you do and how wonderful you are. :) read more

I asked the 3 times to not press a shirt cause it would burn the material and of course they pressed it and ruined the shirt I will never go there and I suggest people not take their clothes there read more

I had a great customer service experience with this establishment. They had my order completed in record time and I was impressed with their customer care. I will definitely use them again for my alteration needs. read more

I brought in a dress to have hemmed for an event I have coming up. Before bringing in my dress it was in great condition, I had just bought it the previous day and had not worn it yet. When I brought in my dress to get altered there was nothing wrong with it, but when I picked it up the top of the dress was pilled and the material was pulled. When I expressed this issue to the people at the desk they told me it wasn't their fault and refused to take responsibility. After a while of back and forth, and the manager and the receptionist being extremely rude they said the best they could do is offer me half off. Never coming back here again. read more

We had an alteration emergency and Alterations Express came through! With an early AM flight to catch, we got our dress just in the nick of time. Thank you!! read more

I had a great experience with Alterations Express back in 2012 for prom. My prom dress was flawlessly altered. Because of this wonderful experience I decided to go back and have my bridesmaids dress altered here as well. This was a mistake. It cost $175 to simply hem the dress. On top of that, the customer service was awful. The seamstress did not converse with me during the consultation, ask my opinion, or anything of that nature. Furthermore, upon picking the dress up she did not ask me to try it on to see if the alterations were satisfactory. I'm very disappointed with the service I was provided and it was not worth $175. I will not be returning or recommending this place to anyone and will be using a private seamstresses in the future and recommend you do the same. read more

I've been a customer for several years but recently I started receiving other people's items when picking up my dry cleaning or tailored items. After my last pick up, I realized when I got home my suit was missing. When I looked at the tag it clearly stated their were 4 items. The suit item was circled and a note was written on the tag stating "Alteration first, will be sent later". Stephanie the store manager acted surprised that something could be lost and continued to stress that their process was flawless. That's clearly not the case as I have received other peoples items in the past. After claiming their is nothing she could do (as the store manager) I requested to speak with her manager. Her manager sits at the corporate office and has yet to return a call after two weeks. At this point, I want to make others aware that you may not get back what you take into the store and they clearly can care less about the customer. read more

I brought a suit in here for alterations. I called ahead of time and the person who picked up the phone was very courteous in explaining everything. When I went into the shop, an employee measured me for the alterations that would be needed because my suit was too loose in certain areas. 5 days later, my suit was ready and looking good! Overall, a very pleasant and easy experience! read more

I walked in and asked a question regarding the pricing for a hem and the lady behind the counter asked if I had the dress with me and I told her no, i was just passing by and thought I would stop in and ask. She looked at me and rudely said "I can't tell you anything because you don't have it with you." Then I asked about a time frame and she rudely said again "You don't have the item with you so I can't really help you." read more

Stopped in to find out about having two panels of curtains/sheers hemmed. Although the clerk was pleasant she told me that they were too busy at this time of year to do them and I should come back in the fall or winter. Really? You're a business! I could understand that they couldn't do them immediately (while I waited) but don't understand why I could not leave them to pick up later (week or so). I then asked what the cost would be and after hearing the cost I definitely will not be returning in the fall, winter, or probably ever. I'll find someone else who wants the business and doesn't turn people away. read more

I stopped by to drop off a pair of pants to have a new button put on and they did it in five minutes while I waited. And for no extra charge. I have used them in the past and was always satisfied. Highly recommended! read more
