(This place has moved! So it is not closed, I posted their new info at the bottom of my review)…read more This is not my first time here. (I found this place after a yelp search) I saw photos and reviews of future brides literally trusting this place with the most important clothing item in the world.. their wedding dress At my first visit, I brought in a Versace cape. it was on sale, except it was 3 sizes too big. I was a little nervous since this cape did have embroidery and heavy detail on the sides, so I knew it was going to be hard to do, but she said it wouldn't be a huge issue. But she did see it immediately and pointed out she could only take it in so much so it didn't ruin the embroidery pattern. She gave me a quote that was under 100 dollars (so, it was totally worth buying on sale even though I knew it was 3 sizes too big and would need altered) (she literally saved me thousands) She called me about 2-3 days later for pick up, and she knocked it out of the park I came back in for more alterations and I was immediately greeted by the owner,Kim, who is so warm and friendly. She's extremely honest about what CAN and CANNOT be done. And, gives you honest prices. She really aims to get the job done and up to everyone's standards to make sure everyone is happy. She's so professional yet so warm and friendly. I seriously love how talented, Kim is. I brought in a Gucci cardigan that had a little snag in it that was turning into a BIG snag. She was honest about the fact she couldn't do much. I told her it did not have to be perfect, I just did not want it getting worse. She actually called me same day and told me it was ready for pick up. The job she did was FLAWLESS! And she charged only 20 dollars Then, my third visit. I needed these items done. -light blue dress that needed taken in because it was a size too big -a sheer maxi dress that needed taken in all over and about 9 inches taken off the bottom -blazer style dress that needed taken in And a couple other items. However, I noticed the owner, Kim, who was there for 20 years had already moved. Please, spread the word. If you or anyone you know, needs some tailoring by highly qualified professional with tons of experience and family owned. I'm extremely sad this tailoring staple in OC has moved due to the rent almost doubling. They have been around for 20 years. She did say she would be doing some work from home and at other locations (fountain valley) -I'll definitely bring all my summer dresses that need fixed *their statement We have relocated to a private Fountain Valley studio! We are open via appointments only. Please schedule on our website tktailoring.com. If you have any questions, please reach out to our number at (714)848-3132.

Visiting Happy Hem alterations location in Huntington Beach was an absolutely fantastic experience! The staff were incredibly sweet and patient, and they truly listened to me when I discussed what I wanted to have altered. One thing to note is that this place is cash only, so make sure to bring cash with you. I was a bit short by 10 dollars, but they kindly allowed me to pay the rest when I picked up my clothing items. While the location doesn't have a sign on the building yet, it's easy to spot - just look for the signs on the windows. It's located next to the smoke shop. Despite having to drive a bit further from Irvine, I have to say that the alterations staff here are well worth the drive! My dress came out the perfect length, and the price was more than fair given the amazing job they did. Overall, I would highly recommend the Happy Hem alterations location in Huntington Beach. The staff were so sweet and patient, and the quality of their work was truly exceptional. I wish I lived closer so I could come here more often! read more
