    Great job but charged way too much money for the clothing fix. He is personable and skilled, but you'll pay a lot for it.

    I came in to ask a question about a hem, he was very rude and dismissive. I was disappointed because I had read all the good reviews.

    Not only was Bilal friendly, he really talked me through the process so that I knew exactly what was going on.

That being said, I was not happy with the overall result of my wedding dress, especially for the high price which I don't believe matched the service. For almost $1900 in alterations, my dress was not steamed before any of the appointments. One of the stitches on my wedding dress that they said they reinforced came undone shortly before I walked down the aisle. Also, I mentioned multiple times during my appointments that I thought the dress been taken in too much and was too tight, which was pretty much disregarded and they told me that's how it was supposed to be. The day of my wedding I ended up having to change out of my dress by the end of the night because it was too uncomfortable. Additionally, the bustle ended up being way too long and was held up by only one button, not enough support for the heaviness of the dress and made dancing difficult. Overall, I wanted to love Alts but was very disappointed by the quality of the work. I would not recommend paying a premium here, and I think you can find better quality tailoring for a better price.

This was off just having a terrible experience with some shirts getting butchered by the local dry cleaner, so I wanted a more professional take. I walked in completely clueless on a whim, tactlessly not making an appointment, and even though it was Juan's lunchbreak he still immediately took the time to see me and work with me. That said... let the man eat. Don't interrupt his break! I still feel bad about it!!! About the tailoring: Juan is just That Dude. He WILL make you look better and point out ways to make the clothes better compliment your body that others don't even know about. The pricing felt extremely fair and not at all like I was being overcharged for the amount and quality of work being done. Not only that, Juan did me a solid by getting the alterations done in-time with a big move out of state. Last minute, off of a random walk-in, and brother still treated me like I was a long time regular. And matter of fact, even though I'm going to be living down south I WILL still be getting my nicest clothing tailored by Juan. That's what his work is worth to me. 10/10 will be making sure I get my nephews' first suits tailored by him too

The additional 6 month guarantee is really nice as well, which might be something I'll be using out. I do wish there was a bit more pricing transparency, seemed like the price just was thought up on the spot. My situation was a bit unique, though, so it probably was.

    First off, I need to say that the guy that runs this place is a really nice guy. He was very…read morecommunicative & very amiable. That being said....his fees are unjustifiable. I've lost a significant amount of weight over the past 3 months & needed to have 3 2-piece suits taken in. He had me try on all 3 & was really thorough with the measurements (so I thought anyway). His initial estimate was $780.00, $740.00 if I paid cash. In my mind at the time I thought this was still pretty good considering 3 new 2-piece suits of the same brand would cost me around $1500. $1200.00 if they were on sale. He asked when I wanted them back. I left that up to him because I wanted him to not be rushed so he can do a thoroughy good job on them. He gave me a pick-up of about a week & a half. This is fine for me. I came to pick them up & I gave him my CC to swipe & charge. I somehow don't need to provide a pin or sign anything & he gives me a copy of the CC transaction receipt wrapped around my card & I didn't think anything of it. When I got home & dug into my wallet to unwrap the receipt from my card so I could put back my card where I always place it I see he charged me $813.00. This put things into a whole new perspective for me. Where did this extra $33.00 come from? Tailors in NYC don't charge sales tax. Then I actually did the math. That's an average of $271.00 a suit. Mind you he's not adding fabric to make it larger. If anything he's decreasing the amount to make it a smaller fit. This & also allowing a week & half's time. This wasn't like a 72 hour time limit. This was a full 10 days. Baffling. I'm now finding little attention to details he missed. One pairs of pants the waist is way tighter than the other two. Almost to the point of not fitting me. One of the jackets is clearly not taken in enough, dare I say, if at all. Another pair of pants a belt loop is half attached so it's just flip flopping around. I just wanted these suits to be taken in because I was tired of looking like MC Hammer at work & I wasn't really thinking how much it could cost. Now that I'm seeing things more clearly & with some of the imperfections I'm finding, I just think $271 for alterations on a 2-piece suit in 10 days time is exorbitantly high when I can just buy a brand new one at Macy's for $400 - $500. I get he's on the UES & he needs to make rent on his space, but....really?

    Everything that was tailored came out perfect! Will definitely be coming back! The staff was very…read morenice as well.
