    They were super helpful! My dress alteration was done very fast, and for a good price. Would definitely recommend, and they are so nice!

    I had several pairs of slacks hemmed. She measured and pinned them, and I told her to err on the…read moreshort side if necessary. I made SURE everything was pinned at the length necessary before I left. I was there for quite a while! I went back to get the pants and one pair was WAY too long. I showed them to her and asked why they weren't hemmed to the correct length (they were almost 2" longer than all the other slacks she had done). She INSISTED that I was wrong, telling me that when I was there originally that she told me this length was too long but that I kept telling her I didn't care and I wanted them this way (too long). WHAT??? That made absolutely NO sense, but she dug her heels in and kept refusing to admit the error or offer to fix it. After a few minutes I said to heck with it, paid for all but that pair, and told her to hem them CORRECTLY this time. I showed her the CORRECT length, took pics on my phone for comparison, and I left. My husband went to pick up the pants a couple days later and the woman said there was no charge for the hem - not because she screwed it up to begin with, but because, "the lady was so angry, I feel bad." UGH!! We are NEVER going back there. I'll make the extra drive to Valley West from now on; they do things correctly the first time! UPDATE: She keeps editing her comment back to me and changing her story because she knows she was wrong. The other reviews show what her work really is like and that my experience was NOT an exception to the rule!

    Great job!!! Great prices!!! Great work!!! The shop is a little cluttered but that isn't really an…read moreissue it just shows you how much business she does! The owner is super friendly! And her prices are reasonable! Only $13 to hem my jeans and if looks nearly like the original hem! And she will tell you if something cannot be done! Like my jacket could not have much let out in one area so she didn't charge me for the little she did let it out. Which it looks great!!! Turn around time is great. Brought in on Monday and it was done by Saturday! Very good work and reasonable! I will be coming back with any other items that need taken care of!!! She definitely has pride of work!!

    I have finally mustered up the courage to warn others about my experience. Tran ruined my favorite…read morepair of jeans that cost me over $300. My biggest regret is not sending them to get professionally altered, I should've known better but i didnt know just how badly a simple request could go. I didn't want to wait the shipping time so I chose to support local and I hate to write a bad review of a mom n pop shop like this so I even went back to tell them I was unhappy with their work and all they said was "sorry. Go elsewhere then" with an angry cold glare and blamed me for requesting the original hem. Little did they know I already went to another alteration specialist and they told me the bottom was sewn too tight, that's why it looks so ugly and crumpled. Not to mention when I was still sitting there clearly upset, Mr. Tran kept asking me about my race. I'm not here to make small talk buddy I'm here to see if these people know how to make it right and the answer is no. I believe this was not a mistake, just a lack of skill. I wish someone had warned me out of the kindness of their heart not to trust Tran with expensive clothing that I can't afford to replace if ruined. I have attached pictures of the exact same pair of jeans below with the same alteration requested shortened and you can see the difference between Tran's work and a professional's. And this is after I even ironed them to try to make it better but clearly the damage is done. When I wear it, it looks permanently crumpled. The bottom of the wide legged jean was the most unique and beautiful part of the pant and now it is hideous and butchered. I am completely and utterly heartbroken. I had to save up to buy these jeans and now they are permanently ruined. Heed the 1 star reviews. You were warned.

As a woman over 6'2'', it's always been a struggle to find dresses/pants long enough for me. She has altered numerous pairs of pants to fit my long legs, AND she added 5'' to my wedding dress!!! I used to try on hundreds of items before finding something that kind of fits, but now I find things right away because I know Tran can make it fit me perfectly. She can do it all. She is absolutely one of a kind, and I am so incredibly grateful for her craft!
