    Worst alternation quality ever encountered, stitches were not straight and she also caught parts of my pants into the stitch. Truly terrible workmanship and expensive too.

    My go to place for alterations in San Diego. I haven't gone anywhere else, so that's not saying much but I've had no reason not to come back. The prices are decent and there's a reasonable turn around time. Friendly service.

    Off centered and uneven scoop hem? Not too happy.

    Nancy did a fantastic job hemming and adjusting complicated straps on a long gown. Quick, good value, and well done!

    Others wanted to charge $15-$20 or more to hem up a pair of scrubs (not even fancy pants) but Nancy charges $9.

    I'm not someone who leaves bad reviews unless I genuinely feel a business deserves it…read more I called on a Thursday about a tie that had twisted stitching, causing the front blade not to lay flat. I actually had two ties with the same issue. He said he thought he could fix them, so I drove over to give him a chance. He told me to leave one tie first, and if I was happy with the result, he'd work on the second one. Fair enough. He asked me to come back Tuesday. The shop itself was also concerning. It looked extremely cluttered, with clothing and orders piled everywhere. It honestly felt more like a hoarder's house than a tailor shop. Before I left, I also asked if he could make a tie skinnier. He said yes, for $45. No problem. I came back on Wednesday and asked for an update. He told me he hadn't even started because he'd been too busy. I looked down, and my tie was still sitting in the exact same spot where I'd left it, untouched, on top of a pile of other clothes. I wasn't upset about the delay. Things happen. He started giving me his phone number so I could call him later, but I told him I already had it. Then I tried to hand him another tie that I simply wanted made skinnier. I couldn't even finish explaining what I wanted because he kept cutting me off and assuming it had the same repair issue as the first tie. I repeatedly tried to explain that this was just a standard alteration, but he wouldn't listen. Instead, he insisted he wouldn't take the second tie until the first one was finished. That made no sense to me. If it's a service he offers, why not just accept the tie and work on it whenever he has time? At that point, I took both ties back and decided to go somewhere else. The whole experience was a waste of time. Poor organization, rude communication, and an extremely messy shop. His prices may be reasonable, but that's not enough when the customer experience is this frustrating.

I've gained weight recently and wasn't sure what would look good on me. Hasib, the owner, immediately put me at ease. He showed me their collection, let me try a few different styles, and even mentioned they could order from their catalog and have a dress ready in just a few days -- which was a lifesaver for us procrastinator girlies. But here's what really blew me away. Hasib actually picked a dress for me himself, and it fit like a glove. It complimented my shape perfectly and was absolutely stunning. This man has a genuine gift for knowing how to match a dress to a body. On top of that, they do in-house alterations, so everything is handled right there. He ended up dressing half the bridal party, and we are ALL obsessed with how we looked. The entire experience was seamless from start to finish. I honestly can't say enough good things. I'm already planning to bring my daughter back for her prom dress next year. You're a magician, Hasib!
