I found Mari's Alterations through Yelp because of the many positive reviews. Unfortunately, my…read moreexperience was not positive so that was when I started looking into the 1 and 2 star reviews on Yelp and Google. They're all saying the same thing about Maria being disorganized and unreliable, which was exactly my experience. And based on reading the negative feedback, I noticed this lady tends to deflect blame. Never her fault. Always something else. I brought in two pairs of jeans for hemming and a wool coat that needed a lining added. Price was affordable. She gave me a week timeline to pick up. I originally planned to pick everything up on Saturday, but I called the next day (Sunday) and asked if I could pick up a day early on Friday instead. She said yes. Thursday came and I called them just to remind them as I've had experiences elsewhere in the past where things got forgotten and I didn't want to make a 25 min drive and finding out my stuff isn't ready. Lo and behold, when I called to remind her I'll be picking up the following day, she said Saturday so I reminded her I called her last Sunday to change to friday. She said okay, she's not busy so she can work on it. I showed up Friday at around 11. My stuff wasn't done. Her employees were working on it. At first she mentioned pick up was supposed to be Saturday. I repeated I've made phone calls prior to change to Friday and she said yes. Then she said I came too early. Say what? We never confirmed on a pickup time. Then she asked me to wait additional 40 minutes. And she argued with me, giving me an attitude. I let her know she was unprofessional and disorganized and this was before I read all the negative reviews. It frustrated me because she had the whole week to work on them and she didn't. Will not be taking my business here again. I do not recommend her business.

Did they close?!?! Atmosphere - Small local business. Limited metered street parking. Open 6 days a week; closed Wednesdays. Service - Good, easy in and out. Drop off, and pick up a month later. Yes, they are busy. Price - $28 to replace a zipper on one of my wife's purses. Owner Comment - Not sure how long you have been here, but we (my wife and I) have been customers for almost 20 years. :)

I never leave 1-star reviews, but this place has genuinely earned it…read more I came in before my wedding to get my suit altered and brought my bridal party along. I already had suits ordered and just needed minor work done. My own tailor had told me to expect no more than $40 for what I needed. This guy quoted me $200. When I said that was too high and that I'd take my business elsewhere, he turned on me and my friends and told us we had "wasted his time." He got hostile when I declined paying an overpriced quote. My friends felt so pressured that we ended up agreeing to a smaller amount of work. Even that was overpriced. And the quality? Absolutely unacceptable. The seams were visible. The stitching was clearly not done properly. And on my wedding day, the moment I stepped into my suit pants, the hem ripped completely. On my wedding day... This man was rude, his prices were outrageous, and his work fell apart literally on the most important day of my life. If you are considering coming here for anything, especially for a special occasion, please take my experience as a warning and go somewhere else. I would also avoid the Alameda Red Hanger Cleaners on South Shore, as they appear to be connected.

Carmelia is a heaven sent! I was having such a hard time finding a reception dress but I finally…read morefound something in my closet that would work. But it was way too big and I had less than a month to alter it. It was so easy to book with Carmelia. Her space is located in an office plaza and the parking lot I front is convenient. I tried on the dress and she immediately knew what needed to be done. She took the time to measure things out and explain to me how material and design of the dress will affect how she alters it to fit me which I really appreciated! The experience I had with the seamstress for ceremony dress was vastly different -- it was as if she was looking to me for guidance when I am not the expert. I had a consultation and fitting, 2nd fitting, and last fitting when I picked up the dress. Each time she was professional, friendly, and personable. It's like she's a really good friend of yours that happens to be a seamstress! I think her prices are really fair. I'm so glad she's local to me because I plan to use her for all my alterations now!

A very reliable tailor near Berkeley, and the only one I'll be going to until I move!…read more I got my dresses hemmed and it was done perfectly. The stitching was on point! It looked as if that's exactly how the dress came in. At the appointment, the owner takes the time to understand how it's supposed look, and how you want it to fit. After the appointment, it was very easy to communicate with the owner. He responded promptly and was transparent. I had to schedule a last minute hemming request and it was done on time! If you're in a pickle, just call and see if he can do it. He will not schedule an appointment if he knows he cannot get it done on time, which I appreciate for being direct. I'll definitely come back but this time without any last minute requests!
