I have used Chin Alterations for many years. It wasn't until recently that I learned Chin and his wife retired and closed their shop. I'm happy for them as they worked hard for so many years. I am beyond sad for myself! I am very particular with my clothing regarding precise fit, drape, length, etc. Never once was I disappointed in Chin's expertise to address any alteration for any article of clothing I presented to him. He and his wife were always so nice, so accommodating and always delivered perfect results on time as promised. If I happened to need an alteration quicker than his standard one week turn around, Chin would do it for me. At no extra charge but I tipped him for going above and beyond. I will miss this fabulous service and the very humble and kind people he and his wife are. Enjoy retirement, Chin. read more

OMG!!! I just came by and the doors are shut and locked. I can't believe it he's no longer working here they are closed down what am I gonna do? I have come to him for over 30 years are used to be a hairdresser that worked across from him and we would see him busy busy busy he was the best he will be truly missed. Him and his wife had a great business I hope they enjoy the rest of their lives and finally relax because they were always working . I just wish I was around to say goodbye to them.Wishing them the best they did a great job on everything I brought to them. read more

The Chins always do great work. When comparing prices they may be on the high side but you will not be disappointed.

Have been taking my clothes to his shop for years. Aways polite and professional! When he says it will be finished in a week, it's ready. I'm 5 ft tall, so he alters my pants, jackets, full length and street length dresses, blouses, and even a bathing suit bottom. He shortens tops from the shoulder, brings them in on the sides, & shortens hem/sleeves. He's even opened up the darts on dresses when I gained weight! Haha! I have no hips, so he narrows my pants, dresses, skirts. He tapers the sides of my pants when I need to shorten the length. He listens to what I want done and agrees with me or makes a suggestion. He does everything to my clothes so they fit me perfectly. read more

I took my wedding dress to Mr. Chin in the past. He did such a wonderful job that no matter what I need tailored I take it back to him again! You can't go wrong with using his special skills at tailoring. read more

Took in some dress pants for alterations and explained what I wanted. Got pants 2 days later with an additional fee for an event the next day. When I got there he told me he only accepts cash but didn't bother to tell me when I dropped them off. He was very rude and unprofessional. He was upset that I didn't see a small sign on the wall. The pants were not tailored correctly and I asked to him to fix it but he said he couldn't until next week. I went in the next day and paid for the pants that were not done right. He used profanity when I told him I was not happy with the pants. I don't recommend this alteration business. He is not professional and doesn't understand the meaning of customer service. He his very disrespectful if your item doesn't meet your expections and he doesn't bother to make it right. read more

Asked him to shorten Blazer sleeves to show shirt cuff. He measured, I left Blazer returned in a week, picked up Blazer as agreed. He only accepts cash payment. Doesn't tell you that until pickup. Got home tried on Blazer. Sleeves still too long no shirt cuff showing. Returned next day explained and showed him problem. Would only fix if I paid again. Good bye! read more

Chin's does a really really good job with alterations. If you want your jeans made smaller, he will do it perfectly and you wouldn't know to look at them. Slacks also done perfectly. He does a gorgeous dress alteration as well. Very professional job. I have tried other Salinas and Carmel tailors and Chins is far and away the BEST of the lot. read more
