To be honest, I initially chose Daniel's Tailor Shop because it was close to where I live, and conveniently located on Spring Garden Road. However, I cannot express enough how happy I am that I did end up choosing this establishment, as the service was incredible, the price was more than fair, and the quality of work was second to none. I met with the owner the previous day to determine costs for having 9 pairs of pants hemmed. He indicated that I would need to bring back my clothes the next day, as he measures them on my person. Having never experienced a good quality tailor before, I simply assumed he would measure my leg and attach the same length to each pair of pants I brought him. Instead, he had me try on each pair individually, and told me for each pair the best solution and length given the amount of damage to the bottoms of some of them (and one pair in particular was VERY damaged). He even made unique recommendations for some that would be difficult to maintain a reasonable length ("Shorts?"). Overall, the owner was extremely soft-spoken and courteous, which is nice in today's fast-paced retail market. He made me feel very important, even as he busily made his way around his shop making sure everything was done properly for the customer's that would follow me. The second you enter the store, you feel like "one of the group", so to speak. One last thing I will point out is that initially he asked for a week for the pants to be finished. When I showed a slight hesitation, he took the initiative to offer that I pick up the pants just 3 days later - something I would never have expected. He stayed true to his word, and I picked them up this morning. Upon arriving home, I tried on each pair and inspected them scrupulously. His work was even better than I had expected, and now I can proudly wear nine pairs of properly fitted pants for less than the price than one or two pairs of new designer pants. I STRONGLY recommend this service provider to anybody in the Halifax area. read more

I've used Daniel's services several times. At first, I was a little hesitant based on some poor reviews; but based on the convenience factor, I was willing to take my chances. After above expectation results on a couple of simple jobs, I trusted Daniel with more challenging tailoring jobs. My suits are top tier and have zero margin of error from my tailor however work needs to be done on garments from time to time. Each time I've used Daniel, they have delivered the results I wanted at the price they quoted. They didn't call me when me job was completed. They didn't have the best info when I called in for a job status. Both were frustrating aspects but the results they delivered were as expected at the quoted price. And the work was top notch. Too many people have the ability to destroy a small business with their reviews without having any understanding of how a small business works. Owners and their small staff wear too many hats due to financial constraints. That is not an excuse for delivering bad products or services, but unless you have run a small business and understand the reality of operations, reviewers' comments should be taken with a grain or two of salt. Small business owners will not excel in every aspect of operations no matter what the industry. If however they are able to excel in their craft, give them the benefit of the doubt. I would have never given Daniel one of my suits to alter on day 1, but at this point I am confident that he will deliver the results I need him to deliver. If you need a heartwarming feeling, buy a Hallmark card. If you need a callback, call the front desk. If you need a tailor to perform the alterations that you need, go see Daniel. read more

Whether you are travelling, on business, or fortunate to call the area home, this very conveniently-located family business offers us all easy access to Masters in the fine art of tailoring. In times long past, they were regarded as such, by all. My own personal experience as a newcomer to Halifax and with a project I thought too time-consuming for such a busy operation, I summoned the courage to ask if a quilt could be mended and salvaged. The gentleman beamed and, in his words, "I am happy to help". As time unfolded and as various circumstances developed, it was a great comfort to me personally that this albeit very amateur project was in the hands of a kind and caring person who appreciated its sentimental value, truly. The story is a lovely one, ending with a beautifully finished work now a salvaged and strengthened keepsake. I could not have done this myself, most certainly and my deep sense of gratitude shall be never-ending for such a touching addition to a labour of love. A heart-warming experience to share approaching a Season of Holidays, and hopefully one that may give us pause to extend our very best and sincere appreciation to those in professions that touch our every-day lives. Respectfully submitted, read more

Daniels tailors saved me in a time of need. After getting my wedding suit back from the tailors a week before my wedding I discovered the arms were still too long. I called a Halifax clothing store and they confirmed they could do a same day tailor job to fix it a mere two days before my wedding, but when I arrived to have the arms of my jacket done I was turned away. Frantically I went to Daniel Tailors. When at first I asked him to do my jacket that day he told me it was impossible because he was simply too busy, but once I explained my situation he calmed me down, worked through his lunch hour, and had my jacket done wonderfully in a matter of hours. Not only is he affordable and professional, he has a heart and cares about his costumers. Anytime I have any tailoring to do in Halifax I will only take it to Daniels Tailors from now he. Thank you so much!!!! Ben read more

Daniels Tailors exceptional service and ability to adapt fashion to my special needs as a disabled individual keeps me in fashionable clothes and with a confidence that I blend well in the fashion of the day. Recently I took a denim jumpsuit to Daniels Tailors with the intent of finding a solution to removing the button-style opening to something I could manage. I full length zipper was placed with adequate reinforcements at the waistline. An amazing solution to what I suspected to be the impossible. This is one example of many fashion glitches I have met up with and have found Daniels Tailors to be most sensitive and capable of resolving any problems I present........a satisfied customer......M.P.

This is not my usual tailor, but I needed a pair of pants hemmed the same day (and on a Saturday). I called to ask if it was possible, and was assured it would be easy. They made the measurements, and when I asked when I should come back, the tailor replied, "do you mind sticking around the mall for a few minutes?" I had to clarify with him: "Are you telling me you can do these while I wait?" I was floored. As it happened, I had to run another errand and told him I'd be back in 30 minutes. When I arrived back 30 minutes later, there were my pants--done and waiting for me on the counter. $11.50 and 30 minutes later, my pant crisis is resolved! Suffice to say I'll be back. read more

I am getting married in one week and picked up my wedding dress from my tailor and nearly cried when I saw what he had done to my dress. After a sleepless night, I called Daniel's Tailor shop in a panic and explained what I didn't like about my dress. He told me to bring it in and he would see if he could fix it. Not only did he completely fix the problem but he touched up something else that the original tailor had done quite lazily, and with an incredibly fast turn-around time. I can't recommend Daniel's tailor shop enough - beautiful work, full effort, and super friendly. My only regret is that I didn't take my wedding dress to Daniel's in the first place!! read more

This has been my second time at Daniels Tailors and I cannot say anything bad about this place and the wonderful service I received. Today I visited their store to see if I could get a dress I want to wear for NYE taken in. They were so helpful, provided honest feedback and suggestions about the dress, and also went out of their way to ensure that I was satisfied. I needed a bra cup added to my dress to give it shape and since the ones they had were a little round for the style of the dress, he told me that he was going to go out and buy a shape cup that would match the dress. I was so happy leaving the store and I am so excited to see how it turns out. read more

Daniel's Tailor Shop is a great place to get your clothes fixed! They are the nicest people and did a great job! They altered a dress for me and my sister's wedding dress, and both turned out fantastic. Their work on wedding dresses definitely deserves a standing ovation; my sister's dress was very complicated and we had to go down for several fittings but it turned out absolutely beautiful. They took the time required to ensure that the dress turned out perfect! They work hard and take pride in their work. They even gave us a discount! I have nothing bad to say about this place! Try it! :) read more

This was the only place that actually answered their phone when I needed my maxi dress shortened the very same day. The place is clean and welcoming, and Richard is fantastic at what he does. He was incredibly helpful, professional, and made the whole experience so easy. I trusted him to decide the perfect length for my dress based on my height and the style of the dress, and he absolutely nailed it. I couldn't be happier with the result. On top of that, the prices are very reasonable. This will definitely be my go-to tailor in Halifax from now on. Highly recommend! read more

Bought me this too cool uber expensive dress shirt in Paris. Knew it would need tweaking to fit correctly. Took the Coast Best of Recommendation and was walking in there thinking "I hope these folks know what they are doing"... Well let me tell you.. "they really know" what they are doing in there. Amazing customer service from Richard.. and then recommended how they could shorten the overall length as well the arms to make it fit perfectly. I was really impressed with the final result and worth every penny. They will get all my business.. and my Coast vote! read more

This place saved me!! The tailor that was suggested for my wedding gown alterations was awful, ( I wont mention names here) in a last minute panic I walked into Daniel's and he saved the day! The staff were so understanding and kind, I am sure they were busy but he found time to fit me in. He took the time to make sure that my wedding dress was beautiful for our big day. Service like this is hard to come by, he puts his clients first!!! Definitely recommend this place to others. read more

Had just purchased a new suit, and as always, the pant legs were too long. I was in a hurry on my way out of town and needed them done quickly. I phoned a number of places; but they couldn't have them done on time, or couldn't confirm they would. I phoned Daniel's he said to drop by and he'd have them hemmed in ten minutes. Dropped in; got fitted; mall-crawled and got on the road on time. All my tailor needs are now going to Daniel's. Great Service!! -A read more

I would recommend Daniel's Tailor Shop to anyone & everyone. They were more than accommodating when I came to them with two microfibre (couch) cushion covers that had water stains that needed to be dry cleaned. It is not something they advertise but they were more than confident that they could get them clean, clean, clean! They even got them back to me within 2 business days. Wonderful service and quality of work. 5 stars. read more

I recently lost some weight and wanted to have some things altered to fit my new size so I went to Daniel's with two pairs of pants and a dress to be taken in. They were very patient with me and made very good suggestions on what could and couldn't actually be done. It was very expensive ($160!) but worth it so I can now wear these clothes again and they are more flattering. read more

Daniels is absolutely the best! I have been going for years, and now my daughter is going for her tailoring needs. Richard tailored my daughter's prom dress and as always, he was nothing but professional and made the dress fit to perfection. You are treated like family and you will be very well taken care of here. It doesn't get better than Daniels. read more

I went to Daniel's Tailor Shop to get my wedding dress altered and I was extremely satisfied with the service and results!! They gave me the individual attention that I needed and my dress was absolutely perfect! It took several fittings for such an intricate wedding gown, but I preferred to have it this way rather than one drastic alteration. read more

Consistent, top of the line quality tailoring and courteous service. Lived in different areas of Nova Scotia, France 5 years and spent a few years each in Red Deer Alberta, Kingston and Toronto Ontario. Not possible to surpass Daniels Tailors workmanship. Highly recommend to all for their meticulous, friendly service. read more
