I went in here after seeing it was super near my house to have them fix some work pants on which I'd broken the zipper. I was expecting to need to have the zipper replaced but the gentleman somehow just zipped it right up as if it had never been broken. He then put some thread into the zipper so it would not come off again and that was it. He did not even charge me. What wonderful customer service is all I can say. read more

I had my wedding dress altered here for 5x less than what I was quoted for the same job at the bridal shop. My entire dress needed to be altered to fit my shape since the size I bought was way too big. It had to be taken in along the form-fitting seams, the heavily beaded straps needed to be shortened, it had to be hemmed, and finally bustled. I am very picky about how the waists look in dresses because when I have had them altered in the past, they always look puckered or slightly off. They did a wonderful job here, though. They even redid the bustle for me when I changed my mind from a center bustle to an off-center one. I went there 3 times for fittings so I could get everything perfect, and he always let me take my time showing him what I needed. I was sure he would charge me more in the final bill than what he quoted me initially since I had bugged him so much--but he didn't. The end result was amazing, and the price was even better. So happy I went here! read more

I altered both of my wedding dresses here. The shop does not look like much from the outside but the quality of tailoring is excellent, alteration time is good and the owner made me feel really comfortable. read more

This is my third time coming to Arya. Last minute unreasonable request - alteration of a sequined bodice - in 4 hours. I was prepared for a no, sorry. Got a yes! He always does a great job. I wouldn't go anywhere else for alterations. Thanks again! read more

I brought two suit jackets in to be tailored and they know modern style and do great work. My suits looked amazing and it was for a decent price. I will definitly use them again for other alterations I may need. read more

This man is so nice! I've been going to him for two years, since he altered my brother's graduation gown to fit me. He also went out of the way to find the piece to fix my 2 favorite bras that had been discontinued. I go to him all the time to alter jeans that are too long. He never over-charges and is very polite. I hope he stays in business for a long long time. read more

I came here based on the yelp reviews. I had already spent a lot more on my dress than I planned and didn't want to get sucked in to the over priced alterations at the bridal store. My dress needed a lot of alterations - I'm usually about 2 sizes smaller on the top than the bottom! I had also lost about 15 lbs & I'm really short. The dress was all lace and the hem had beautiful detailing on the bottom that I didn't want to lose. He was able to take the lace off and re-attach it. It also had to be taken in on the top which was also covered in lace and there were a few other little details that needed fixing. When the dress was finished, it looked like it had never been touched and was a perfect fit! I had to ask for a couple little changes here and there, but there were no extra charges and he was always so patient with me, even with my family taking tons of pictures during the process. It also took less than 2 weeks for the whole process. My Husband is such a procrastinator and ended up ordering his kilt jacket from England which arrived about a week before the wedding! He took it in just a few days before the wedding and had it altered as well. They finished it very quickly and the prices for the coat as well as my dress were very reasonable! I added a few guest pictures from our wedding that show a little bit of the lace incase anyone wants to see the detail work he did. We will definitely stick with Arya for future alterations! read more

Amazing work! I was on a time crunch and needed a my bridesmaid dress taken in by the end of the week. I usually am able to do small alterations on my own except taking them in - not my area of expertise. I needed someone that was meticulous and quick. They got it done in a week as promised and it fit amazing! I also got the neckline changed to a sweetheart. The work is impeccable! All for $50! What a bargain especially since I know another bridesmaid that paid more than that for the same services. read more

I've had them hem and take in numerous pairs of pants and shirts, and the work has been fine. I'm glad that other people have had 5-star experiences, but I think they're just okay. They are friendly, the prices are wonderful, but I had a pair of pants that I had to take back because the seam looked weird. They also used black thread on a grey pant. Not a big deal because it was hidden on the inside, but it still felt a little less professional. I will use them again, mainly because of their pricing, and because I'm waiting for my 5-star experience! read more

I take ALL off my work pants and dresses here. He does a fantastic job. if there's tweaking to be done he takes care of it and finishes the alterations pretty quickly given all the other custom work he's working on. read more

I bought a new suit that needed the pants hemmed and the jacket taken in around the waist. He got the pants right but butchered the jacket. After a month's time and the third botched attempt (and me throwing some extra money his way because I felt bad at how much time he was spending) I had to just take it from him and find another tailor to fix it. It sounds like he's adept with wedding dresses and basic men's alterations but if you require a true pro, this is not your place. The prices were certainly great though if you want to take the gamble. In my case, I lost. read more

Aryas Alteration is the best!!! I bought my wedding gown, it had to be taken in alot, and the bridal store was going to charge me a fortune to have it done. I brought it to Aryas Alteration. Prices are very good. Hes work is even more amazing! He's very passionate about his work and very professional. Thank you so much!!! read more

This place is the real thing, and the owner, Nabi, is pretty much a badass. I live on the Northern Peninsula and have easy access to all the alterations shops in SF, but instead I get on the BART and take the long trip to Concord to come to Arya. On my first visit, I took in two pantsuits that were much too big because I had lost 20 pounds. Alterations to fitted jackets can cost the earth and be really fussy to boot, but he was confident that he could cut them down to my new size. On my second trip there, the day I went to pick up the suits, I also took a pair of corduroy jeans and an evening gown (a very lucky thrift store find) to have them altered. Mind you, I didn't have shoes yet, so I asked him to hem the dress for 1" heels. When I tried on the jackets, we agreed they needed a little more work, so he held on to them. The pants were fine -- they're easier to size down -- so I took them home. Today I picked up the whole bundle. The cords make my butt look great, if I do say so myself. The jackets fit perfectly, and so does the gown. Even better, I found shoes a couple of weeks ago, and when I wore the dress with the shoes we found that the length is precisely right. IT'S LIKE MAGIC. For all of that work, he charged me $210. I feel really good about the cost and would use this shop again in a heartbeat. Nabi's customer service skills are excellent and his work is first-rate. Highly recommended. read more

My husband and I have been getting our clothing tailored here for over a decade, and are consistently pleased! Nabi has fixed, shortened, embellished, customized anything from suits and gowns to plain jeans. He's taken dresses and tailored them down several sizes (which is tricky), and you'd never be able to tell. For the complaints I've read, it seems they didn't try the pieces on before they left - anytime I've wanted more of a touch up, Nabi has taken care of it promptly. He has many, many years of experience and is so reasonably priced! read more

I have gone here a few times for minor alterations, and every time I couldn't be happier with the results. The work is impeccable and neat, and they are always flexible and timely with my orders. Thank you!! read more

I had my wedding dress altered here for fraction of what the bridal shop where I got my dress was going to charge me. he did an excellent job. he is professional and friendly. I was extremely happy with how my dress turned out. Recently I went back for a maid of honor dress fitting and alteration. He once more did an excellent job and I love their new location. he's super friendly, professional and reasonable. will be going back for any other future alteration needs. read more

This tailor is amazing! I used to live in the east bay and would go to him regularly. I recently moved to SF and I still drive to concord to have him alter things for me as his turnaround time is quick, he truly takes his time with each customer, and his prices are incredible. I had to get a dress taken in last minute in SF and it cost me $45. He charges $10-15 for the same service. I was also in a bind and needed to pick up a few things from him right before the bay bridge closed for Labor Day weekend - he stayed open until 8 one evening so that I could drive from SF when I got off of work to pick up my things in time for my upcoming vacation and before the bridge closed. Basically, he rushed to finish my alterations early based on my situation. Super nice man. Amazing customer service. Amazing prices! Definitely 5 stars! read more

Excellent job. Excellent price. He tailored my bridesmaid dress within a reasonable amount of time. Plus he stayed at work a little later so I can pick up my dress. He is a true business man. I will be back =) read more

Absolutely great tailor! Seamless work (pun intended). I mean, I have him hem some pants, or bring in the sides of a big jacket, and suddenly they just look better! As if I bought them that way! Couple that with great prices, good turn around times, and you've got a winner. Highly recommend. read more

If you ever need alterations this is the place to go! My wedding dress needed to be hemmed, bustled and a change of sash. The price was much much less than what Davids Bridal quoted me and he was able to do them in all one week!! All brides have no stress in alterations for your wedding dress! Take them here, you won't be disappointed. read more

This guy is super chill, nice quick and affordable. Awesome clean work and gets it done asap! I've used this place 3x now and super happy with the workmanship and ease of everything. A great place to get alterations. 2 thumbs way up! read more

I'm very happy with the work of Nabbi, the tailor who works here. I've been steadily taking pieces to him on a weekly basis now. Every week I would bring him an item to have altered, and pick up something I dropped off last week, and I have never left his shop disappointed. He's done a number of alterations for me including slimming shirts, shortening sleeves for my shirts, taking out the inseam on trousers, taking out the waist, bringing in the waist. When you bring something in, he'll let you know what the price is upfront and tell you when you can pick it up (usually 5-6 days for single item/small jobs). He only takes cash or check, but that's not a big deal to me. I've made it a habit to bring my checkbook with me every time I go into his shop. read more

Brought a bridesmaid dress in a few weeks ago after a friend's suggestion to see Arya and he did a great job! Fast, reliable and the dress fits just how I want! read more

I've used Arya in the past with wonderful results! This time my husband and I both needed alterations done prior to our daughter's wedding. One formal gown and a suit jacket. Not only was Navi friendly and professional, the job was done in an amazingly short time! Price was very fair. If you need alterations, this is the place to go! read more

Took in 4 dresses for different types of alterations and not only did he do an amazing job, but was quick and reasonable.

This guy was amazing! I live in Sweden (but originally from the Bay Area) and had my wedding dress totally screwed up by a seamstress in Sweden. I got to California 2 weeks before my wedding and went directly to him and he totally listened to what I wanted and not only fixed the dress (the previous seamstress made the dress 2" shorter on one side) but made it better than before! I can't recommend him enough! read more

I had a problem with a stuck zipper on a jacket. I dropped in and he took care of it in a few minutes, on the spot! We definitely found our tailor! read more

To be completely honest, I was drawn to Arya first because of Game of Thrones. I'm they caught my eye because their work is beautiful. I just picked up my wedding dress from them earlier today, and was brought to tears by the craftsmanship. I would definitely recommend them to anyone! read more

I had a great experience here. I think I paid like $35 or $40 for an alteration on a bridesmaid dress. I have four stars because I felt like it was still a little too loose and he could have tightened a bit more, but overall it was so affordable to have the alteration after losing a dress size. He had it done in 5 days so that was a plus. Nice guy too! read more

It is strange the level of my disappointment with this seamstress considering the rave reviews. I paid $65 for a simple bridesmaid hem and the entire wedding was tripping over my dress. I told Arya to hem it for FLATS so there wasn't any miscommunication misestimation with heel height. In fact, even using heels, I was still tripping over my dress. It was miserable and dangerous. Terrible experience. read more

I had a zipper added to my Drysuit undergarment. I could hardly believe how good it looked. It was better than the manufacturers zippers. This place has all my business going forward. Outstanding workmanship! read more

Nabi is the model tailor that you hope for. Genuine person, outstanding service, and incredible results for anything you ask him for. I will drive a longer distance just for him because I trust what he does. He brings peace of mind that I can leave my clothes that have a lot of meaning to me, in great hands. Thank you Nabi - you are simply the best! read more

Incredibly polite and professional. His prices are so reasonable borderline crazy cheap! Like seriously who hems wedding dresses for $50+!?!? This place is a serious gem! read more

This is now my go-to tailor!! He is so professional and genuinely kind! I only had a few days before I leave for a wedding and needed last minute alterations on my bridesmaids dress. He made my dress fit PERFECTLY in only a few short days (other places wouldn't even do it in less than a weeks time). He did a GREAT job!! Also, prices are very reasonable :). Extremely satisfied customer. Thank you again for fixing my dress! I will definitely be coming back and referring family and friends! read more

Professional, at times he is a little slow (esp around the prom season). Highly recommend him!

I needed some scrub pants tapered and he did it very well. I wish it was a little more tapered from the knee down but when I need some more scrubs, I will come to this shop. The guy is very nice and prices are reasonable; however, it did a few days to be completed. Nonetheless, recommend him! read more

I like to wear my shirts untucked. They are too long so about 6 months ago I had them shorten them up. They came out GREAT.. Very good prices also. That man knows what he is doing. I have done about 12 shirts so far and they all came out perfect and look NICE read more

Have been going to Arya for years, and every time have been so surprised with how good of a job he does. Brought 3 prom dresses here in high school which all turned out perfect. Brought in a dress for my baby shower which needed to be longer, he managed to take the material from another dress of mine and sew it to the bottom of the dress to make it long enough, and no one even noticed that it was 2 dresses. He's amazing. read more

Nice guy, seems to be very honest with pricing. And does a good job on alterations.

In a line a buildings that are under construction near Taco Bell - Small place ... but service was excellent. Had to check this place out after seeing the review of someone getting excellent service for an emergency suit tailor for a funeral. Got 4 designer pants altered (worth over $500 in total) so I was scared. But the results ... Perfect fit. Good place if in need of some alterations near Concord. read more
