I used Ankine for tailoring my wedding dress. She was knowledgeable and thoughtful in her consultation, including suggesting alterations I had not thought of. It was easy to communicate with her from scheduling through pickup. When I came to pick up, the dress looked great and was a great fit. Thank you, Ankine! read more

My experience with Concierge Cleaners was awful. I found them to be incompetent, dishonest and unwilling to reimburse for clothes they ruined. Here is why: Our home was damaged in the Eaton Fire. Our clothes were smoke damaged and had to be professionally cleaned. Our remediation company recommended Concierge Cleaners. In hindsight, I suspect they got a kickback "Shane," (as he calls himself, is apparently the owner of Concierge Cleaners) picked up the hundreds of items to be cleaned. We were unable to live in our house for months, so the transfer of clothes was chaotic. After numerous requests, "Shane" finally gave an estimate which was far less than the amount ($2,533) that they ultimately billed. Among the clothes Concierge took were several expensive coats and suits. We obviously expected them to by dry cleaned. Instead, Concierge threw them in the wash with the underwear and t-shirts. Literally, they were put in a washing machine which ruined the fine wool, then put in a dryer which shrank them. Then they were tightly folded and wrapped with the laundry. The suits and coats were obviously ruined. When we informed "Shane" what happened we assumed he would act professionally and offer to compensate for the damage. When mistakes happen people with integrity take responsibility. But integrity is not "Shane's" strong suit. First he denied ever having the suits and coats. Then he claimed they could be fixed by dry cleaning them. That did not work since the fabric was already ruined and the suits shrunk two sizes. I told "Shane" we would be satisfied if Concierge paid just a fraction of the cost of replacing the suits. We have a lot going on trying to make our house habitable after the fire and don't have time to mess with an incompetent and dishonest dry cleaner. Unfortunately, Shane stopped responding and is now unreachable. So now we have to haul this clown into small claims court to get him to pay for the damage he caused. I have lived in the Pasadena area a long time and know there are good and reputable dry cleaners. Concierge is not one of them. If you want someone who does not know that fine wool suits have to be dry cleaned, lies about what happened to your clothes, and refuses to compensate you when he ruins your best clothes, then you will love "Shane" and Concierge Cleaners. read more

I decided to give Concierge Cleaners a shot after reading some of the reviews, as well as contacting other dry cleaning services in the area. First of all, the prices are pretty reasonable, being much lower than some of the other options in the Pasadena / Altadena area. When I called Concierge to inquire about prices, the man on the phone told me Men's Suits were $17 and dress shirts were $5. It sounded like a pretty good deal compared to other cleaners, so I dropped off two suits and two dress shirts on a Tuesday afternoon. The woman at the counter was very friendly and gave me a receipt ticket in which she instructed me to "ignore the date on the ticket" and that I "would receive a text when my items were ready for pickup." A few other women were in the small storefront having alterations done, should you choose to utilize that service offering. Two days later, on Thursday, I received the text that my clothes were ready. I headed over to pick up my clothing and inspected everything. The dress shirts looked fine, pressed and hung neatly. One of my suits had a small white powder stain on the front sleeve, but it came off quickly with a moist towel. The other suit looked great and everything seemed to be fine with the rest of my order. However, the final bill was $49 plus tax ($50.72 all in), which didn't match up precisely with what the gentlemen quoted me over the phone. However, it was close enough so I decided to pay the bill and not make a fuss. Obviously, there is some discrepancy with the pricing, as it wasn't listed online. I could have been a stickler for the extra $5, but I decided not to make a big deal of it as one of the other dry cleaners nearby quoted a price of over $40 for a suit cleaning. Parking is sometimes difficult in the small strip mall, with Fluffy Puppy and Captain Tobacco customers. However, there is a dedicated two spaces directly in front of the store for a quick in-and-out visit to the Concierge. A good option for dry cleaning in the area for a first visit. read more

On 10/29 my husband bought me a pair of wide leg pants I needed to wear at event on 10/31. I took them in to Ankine on 10/30, she was extremely busy: but because of the urgency of my situation, she had them ready at the end of the day! The pants fit perfectly!! The outcome was worth the $20! read more

Today I picked up my wool coat I had dropped off 1 week ago to have dry cleaned. When I initially dropped it off I noticed the collar tag was very dingy as you can see in the picture. I noticed the dinginess on the collar tag was still there when I picked it up today and when I asked the young lady why was it still dingy she said that part did not come off cuz it's stained. I was not satisfied with her answer and when I got home I attempted to wipe off the collar tag myself with bar soap and water and the dinginess immediately came off. I'm so disappointed with place had to leave a bad review because i have taken 3 different coats in the past and now I can't help but to think they did not even dry clean them correctly. read more

Relatively the price for hemming was considerably less expensive than the neighboring cleaners.

I've brought a few items here, including a vintage leather jacket that needed a button tightened down and cleaned. They outsource the leather cleaning and it isn't cheap, but they do a wonderful job. The leather cleaning takes a week. They do have a tailor on site which is super helpful and she also re-attached a few buttons on a wool coat for me. They're courteous here and I've really liked the work that they do. The location is convenient as well - there are other businesses right around there that serve good food in case you get the munchies while you are doing errands. read more

I've had excellent experiences getting alterations done at Concierge Cleaners. Ankine is friendly, helpful, & kind. I'm disabled, and she is patient. Highly recommend! read more

I brought in a vintage wedding dress that was completely yellow and they made it bright white and got the stains out! I'm so excited to be able to wear the dress of my dreams!! I won't need the dress for about a year and they also provided a special bag so it won't yellow again, I'm so grateful! read more

My assistant took several new, custom-made dress shirts to this dry cleaner. This one is near his place, so he went there. These shirts had been worn once. How does this cleaner get good reviews? Two of my shirts had the top button either broken or burnt off; it's hard to tell. They said nothing when he picked the shirts. I found out when I went to put one on, then inspected the others. Never again with this place. read more

Came here based on their excellent reviews. Needed to get a gown hemmed. They did an outstanding job and the price was so reasonable! So glad I consulted Yelp and found this place. I highly recommend. They also have designated parking spots in front of their business which made it very easy to park in a crowded lot. Thank you Fellow Yelpers for a great recommendation! read more

So I recently found a black suede jacket in a vintage store over in Claremont Village .... super cute and it fit perfectly, so it was meant to be. The only issue was that it had a funny odor, and it had a couple of areas that could use some additional cleaning. So I called around to several places and surprisingly not too many places clean suede and leather anymore but I contacted this place and they quoted me a price of $50. So I took it in along with a few other items that needed some dry cleaning, and I have to say they did an amazing job on the jacket. The smell was gone, and it almost looked brand new. They also did a great job on the rest of the items I brought in, so I definitely will be giving this place some repeat business. read more

Man, there's a few issues with this business. The front desk worker declines to answer any questions about your items if something is wrong, she basically blames it on the fact that items don't get cleaned at this location and that the owner isn't here so whatever you're asking she answers "I don't know" and she just brushes you off and gets angry. The main thing for me is I hate dishonest businesses. If you messed up admit it and don't make things up that are irrelevant to cover up your mess. Plus the photos in the gallery aren't even real, so it was my mistake to just go by good reviews, my advise is to always look at the gallery to see the before and afters before you drop your items off because otherwise you're risking getting your stuff damaged without getting a refund. read more

I decided to go to this place because of the high reviews. The first time went fine. But the second time I brought in a heavy jacket. When I got it back, it was stained on the front so the jacket now had a light green discoloration. I inquired with the person there, and she refused to do anything about it. Instead, she said the jacket looked good with the discoloration. read more

The tailor here, Ankine, is magic! I needed two dresses altered for my engagement photos in a short time frame, one of which was a vintage 1950s dress. She had great ideas about how to make the dresses flattering and how to preserve the integrity of design in the vintage dress. She completed the alterations in time for the photo shoot, and I was thrilled with the results! It's tough to find a good tailor, and often tailors at dry cleaners can be subpar. But Ankine is really talented and a cut above! So kind and friendly too! I have also used the dry cleaning services here and been really satisfied. read more

This review for Ankine She is AMAZING. I went to her for a last minute tailoring for a dress for a wedding that would be in three days. She hymned the dress, closed an opening in the bottom and one from the top In less than 24 hours with an amazing price. Very kind and professional. Highly highly recommend her read more

I honestly don't know how this place has 5 stars. The front desk person was so unfriendly and had this attitude like 'what do you want?'. I was a little taken aback considering most dry cleaning places are super nice. Kinda wanted to walk out at that point but felt like I walked in here and now I'm stuck. It was my first time there and she asked me to write my name and number to create an account then as she entered my name into her computer, proceeded to get it wrong like 5x!!! Like what is wrong with this lady??? And then she said it'll be done next week. I asked when next week? She said I don't know, sometime before the end of next week. At that point, I was just done with her. I took my clothes and said it's fine, I'll just take it somewhere else. She shrugged and said ok and I walked out. read more

I have gone to a few dry cleaners in Pasadena, most were poor to average. When Concierge took over from the previous owner, who was horrid, I figured, why not give them a try. They are awesome! They do really nice sewing repairs and can clean even the toughest stains on silk. This place is terrific. read more

Asked them to have items ready on a Friday morning - they agreed and even listed Thursday on the pickup time on receipt. I show up FRIDAY 11am and lady says no it won't arrive until 2pm. I tell her that's not what we did discussed and SHE gets upset. Says "Is this your first time here?!" Not sure what that matters...instead she never apologized and says if you want it now you need to drive to Montrose a couple cities away. So here i go wasting time and gas because it's their fault. The worst part of this was no apology, she basically scolded me for thinking it would be ready. Crazy how this woman handles it. Her last words were "the boss is over there you talk to him." read more

I stained a White Christian Dior sweater from dye transfer from a new luggage that I bought. I was a bit nervous about who to bring it to for cleaning because it's a pretty high ticket item. After looking up reviews for dry cleaners I chose Concierge Cleaners. I spoke with Alex he told me it would be ready in about 4-5 days since it's a delicate item. After 4 days I received a text saying that my sweater was ready for pick up! It looked brand new! The total costs on it was only $15. So it was very affordable! read more

Since changing ownership,these newbies had some pretty big shoes to fill and then some.Who was to take Alex The Rockers place? Will the seamstress be as good as the last?To tell you the truth,I wasn't going to come back but a twist of fate brought me here once again.I had ordered a limited edition pair of joggers on line but what the company site failed to mention was the pants were only for individuals as tall as Shaq and there was no returns on special orders.So either I try to fix them or try to sell them. So I came back to a once familiar but new place to try to fix my misfortune.I told them what I wanted done to them and I would be back in a week or so. I came back to pick up my threads and I was totally blown away on how great they turned out.I was so pleased with the work,I actually got teary eyed.Now I could sport my new digs to b-boy competitions and to my non dressy Dj gigs.The shoes have been filled.Shane's customer service skills are top notch and their seamstress is a true professional,miracle worker and I highly recommend her for any kind of alterations.The same great service and quality of work still lives on through new ownership and that's my take and experience of the Concierge,Peace out read more

All of my experience with this place have been great!!! I used their tailoring service and she is so accommodating and quick! She tailored some pants and a jumpsuit and both came out with the perfect fit. Will continue to come here read more

I go occasionally for dry cleaning but I go more for alteration, Ankin the sewing Lady is very expert,on top of regular alteration services she did change my clothes and turned them into fun wearing pieces ,some boring dresses Ankin turned them into different designs, all professionally done with excellent finishings. She never says it cannot be done ,"no"is not in her dictionary,she could even manage to repair clothings u love and cherish and give them back to you brand new ,like one time my faux furr white jacket that was stained by red lipstick,she helped me to find a matching patch and was able to replace that ruined shoulder patch and I got my beautiful furr jacket back like a brand new one only for $20.Her prices are so reasonable all listed in details at her place .I highly recommend this place excellent customer service, smily faces ,I feel like home. read more

I needed my wedding dress pressed and I am so glad I picked concierge cleaners! They did an amazing job, had reasonable prices, and finished it quicker than their original date estimate. They even packaged it in a special way so it wouldn't wrinkle when I transported it to my venue. Thank you! read more

Just moved to the area and took in a very tricky outfit to have fully redone. The results, customer service and kindness of the tailor were wonderful. It's nice to have a really good tailor at your disposal that you know will do a very good job. I'm definitely going back! read more

An alteration place that does not charge an arm and a leg! Super fast, great customer service! Ankine is amazing! Perfect alteration!

prices are outrageous! $12 to clean a sweater? when I asked the people working there couldn't even explain to me what they are charging so much for. I have been going there for years but the fact they acted dumb like they had no clue what they are charging their customers for makes me feel like they are either incompetent or ripping me off, both reasons to never come back again and warn others. it shouldn't cost $150 to clean 9 pieces of clothing. unreal read more

I have tried a few places and also called around. Finally found Ankines, she is is accomodating, very precise, and fair price. Finished my job before the date is was promised and the work was wonderful read more

10/10 always!!! My friends and I are ALWAYS raving about this place and Ankin, and how she is THE BEST! We hit the jackpot with finding this place and Ankin. Thanks so much!! Great business owners as well, super helpful, friendly, warm and welcoming, and great energy. We live to support businesses like this. Thanks guys! read more

Phenomenal service! I had a suit jacket that was altered at another location and I was really unhappy with it, I brought it here and they fixed everything and made it look beautiful! I was able to get a quick quote from them on yelp before coming in too. Their prices are completely reasonable, and the service is excellent! Don't go anywhere else, this place is great! read more

Ankine is the BEST. She is so good at her work, happy to do it, fast, and reasonably priced! I came to her with what I thought was going to be impossible especially because I needed it done in 3 days. Well, she did it and it turned out so much better than I expected! It was my first time there and now I am more than happy to take her all of my alternation needs. I wanted a Britney Spears dress and I got one :) Oh, she also did my boyfriends jeans for the same event! read more

Excellent customer service! A friendly smile, a helping hand and good communication made a great impression from my very first visit until now. I've brought in just about every type of clothing: wool sweaters, dresses, silk blouses, slacks, suits and ties. Each piece of clothing appeared to be cleaned with care. For example, when I had a few fuzz balls pilling on my sweater, Alex (the owner) took the time to remove them. Tissue paper is often found stuffed into the shoulders and arms of my long sleeved items to help maintain shape. My clothes come back looking perfectly pressed and like-new each time. One thing that sets this cleaners apart from others is the level of attention each customer receives. I am always helped with carrying the hanged items to the car at time of pick-up. I also get calls when my items are ready, and helpful advice on how to better care for delicate fabrics (I'm very rough on my clothes and often spill food or drink on them, oops.) If Alex has a concern about the condition of my dirty laundry, he calls me ahead of time. I appreciate that he cares about my expectations and quality of service. 5 stars. I highly recommend Concierge Cleaners for your dry cleaning needs! read more

I brought in a tie for cleaning. Concierge Cleaners offered a good price. It was ready the following day. Efficient and courteous is how I would explain my experience. I recommend this business. read more

UPDATED: I just wanted to update this review to say that Shane reached out and was truly excellent in coming to a resolution about our suits. We look forward to bringing clothes back in the future. honestly could not be more disappointed in this cleaners. This used to be our go to location but when I went to drop off a batch of dry cleaning a few months ago we learned it was under new management...and apparently it shows. I would suggest everyone take the time to inspect every single piece of clothing before you leave this location. I didn't - I just took my husband's suits and hung them straight in the closet. He took both out of the dry cleaning bags today to wear to a wedding and found them both destroyed. I assume the answer at this point will be that they don't have any liability, so we are pretty devastated to be out two expensive suits. DON'T MAKE OUR SAME MISTAKE! read more

My expectations were beyond exceeded! I highly recommend this place. The customer service and entire process was flawless and perfect. I brought my items in and felt very comfortable and secure with how it would go. My results were everything I wanted and more. This has, by far, been the best service I've received. read more

This place is amazing for alterations and cleaning! What a great find! Ankine's work is highly professional, timely and overall excellent! I have found my new favorite place in the Pasadena area!! read more

FIVE-STAR REVIEW FOR THE TAILOR, ANKINE: Quick background: Clothing often don't fit me off the rack, especially suits. In the last several decades, I have worked with many tailors in the LA area and have been willing to drive further if I meet one that does a great job and knows the craft. I've been recommended to many tailors that are known in their field in Beverly Hills, San Marino, low key family-owned shops, areas with good pricing and skills, and MANY others where I've paid anywhere from tens of dollars to hundreds per jacket/item and have many times felt the pain of my wallet and vowed to never buy anything that doesn't come close to fitting me, and resort to only buying custom tailored suits. There are some good tailors out there, but eventually I stopped going to them usually for the same reason - they tried selling me on tailored items that didn't create the fit that I want and kept trying to sell me their craftsmanship when there were clearly mistakes that they've overlooked and did not focus on customer service consistently. Consistency is key in any business. I have always been appreciative of tailors who meet the intentions we aim to achieve, ie. We get clothing tailored to a reasonable degree, the tailor agrees to the job (and assuming we don't gain or lose a ton of weight), we should expect the fit to meet the desired standards. Ankine, the tailor who works inside this local dry cleaning spot is worth every penny. She is so highly skilled in everyday hems and suit tailoring, as well as ladies' dresses or gowns. Most importantly, she CONSISTENTLY delivers on her craft. I'd drive miles across town to go to her. It's been almost 7 years and still counting. Unlike other tailors, her pricing is unambiguous, fair, and there is a small sign with pricing on her dressing/closet door for transparency. She's also quick with turnaround times, is not entitled or trying to sell you her craft (her skills speak for itself), and I absolutely love her as a kind person. For those of you who have already paid $$$$ for amazing suits, don't feel like you need to go to dad tailors in BH. I purchase custom-tailored suits that utilizes top tier fabrics - Loro Piana, Zegna, Italian mills, etc. Since our bodies will change shape after years of not wearing the old ones, I adjust things from time to time. Other times, when the suit is done from the original maker and I don't want to go back and wait for a month to only fix the sleeve length, Ankine perfects the suit, and keeps its shape the way it's intended to be. She also has a fashion sense and knows how things should fit so you won't have to explain 10x. I also drop off clothes for the dry cleaning side and they have been my go-to for years as well. I specifically ask them not to press on my shirt collars and they will remember to do so, which I appreciate. I wish Ankine a ton of success and may God bless this woman. I know I talked a lot about suits but I've also dropped off a ton of jackets (bombers too), jeans, shirts, and everyday items for her to fix. I'm a happy customer. I HIGHLY recommend anyone looking for a reliable, consistent, and kind tailor to bring their clothes to Ankine. read more

Next Door Cleaners did what I thought was impossible- take out a black sharpie stain on my cream wool Maje sweater !
