2 years ago, I walked into Hem Up with my older sister who was getting married in 3 days. She needed last minute alterations done and while everyone else in OC turned us away, Tina took us in and saved us! I told Tina that when it was my turn to get married, I'd come to her - and I kept that promise!! Gave Tina my wedding dress that had a bazillion layers, needed to be shorter, and needed a bustle... 1 week before my wedding. I know - I'm insane and very irresponsible. But of course, Tina saved me. She might've given me a well deserved lecture, but she saved me. Beautiful job, quick turnaround time, friendly, and reasonably priced. Tina's is the only place I'll get alterations done in OC.

i got my ao dai dry cleaned here and i would 100% come back! tina was super communicative through phone and text and was very friendly. the price was extremely fair considering my ao dai was classified as a wedding ao dai and it came back clean, free of wrinkles, and smelling great! highly recommend! p.s. her store decor was also super cute too!

I found a simple wedding dress I loved for an amazing price, but it just didn't fit the way I imagined. Since I had just moved to the area, I was nervous about finding the right alterations place--but finding Hem Up was the best decision. There's a reason it's so highly reviewed. At my first fitting, Tina completely changed how I saw my dress. She didn't just hem it--she helped me see its full potential by adjusting the straps and bodice in a way that made it feel like my dress. She also squeezed in time to fix my wife's suit after another place didn't get it right, which meant so much to us. Tina is efficient, professional, and so easy to work with. She made the whole experience feel calm and even fun during such a busy time. I'm so grateful we found her.

Second time coming to Tina and as always, I'm speechless! I needed last minute major alterations for my cosplay last minute (within a week) and Tina saved the day by squeezing me in!! I trust no one else other than her to fix my cosplays and highly recommend her! She won't disappoint!

1 star for speed. 0 stars for quality and attention to detail. Asked her to hem the sleeves on an expensive suit jacket, which required buttons to be taken up. However, the buttons are misaligned and overlap each other. Upon closer inspection, she marked the new button placement with BLUE INK, which will be fun to try to remove when I have to take this jacket to another tailor to redo the buttons. The sleeves are also flared. She won't take accountability and tried to say the jacket came like that. Look at the pictures and tell me if you think the buttons came like that. Definitely would not trust to redo.

Tina, she is extremely nice and always offers her expertises and recommendations on how to alter your clothes. For me, it was my prize possession, Kobe Bryant authentic, Mitchell and Ness jerseys!! IYKYK I trusted her for one of the Kobe jersey and it came out fantastic! The length of the jersey was too long and my concern was the patches being relocated I remembered receiving a text a couple of days prior to the ETA that was quoted for me on the receipt and in person. It came out like I bought it online or at the Laker Store in El Segundo!!! Tina won me over and I started to bring in all my authentic NBA Kobe Bryant jersey to her. I brought in a couple of jeans for her to tailor and it came out fresh! She was able to taper match and cut the length off. I will continue to come to her business. Great person, and very welcoming! Highly recommended!

I've been helped by Tina at Hem Up multiple times, twice for a wedding and once for a prom dress for my sister. Both times she has impressed me with her attention to detail and her passion for her work. I usually come in with a dress thinking I just need it shortened, but Tina always makes the best suggestions that elevate the dress from what was originally imagined. In fact it probably ends up looking better than when originally bought. She has an eye for fashion and that truly shines in her work-- she isn't just doing the bare minimum or suggesting random alterations. The product always comes back fitting seamlessly in all places despite the dress being multi-layered, multi-material, and complicated. Her pricing is always fair for her work and all that she puts in, and the turnaround time is quick as well. I really appreciate Tina and it feels like family when you're here. She's accommodated my sister and I multiple times at the last minute and always checks up on us. Thanks Co!!

Highly recommend for special occasion suits and dresses. Worth the price if you need a custom fit! Her work is chefs kiss!

Tina really took care of me. Her shop is very busy, I recommend calling to schedule with her. At times I felt rushed but in the end I just can't say enough how much she took care of me. I needed alterations for a quickly put together wedding and I was going through a few medical issues and had to cancel appointments but she still got everything done for me and I felt so beautiful. It's a strange detail but I even bled from a wound on the front of my wedding dress and she took care of it without blinking an eye and told me not to worry! She really cares about the level of her work and it shows. I can't thank her and her team enough.

I bought my wedding dress off the rack so it was really big on me. I brought it to another alteration place and while they did fix the back to my liking, I still did not feel confident in my dress from the front. It didn't look snatched and didn't feel very fitting to my body. I decided to bring my dress to Tina at Hem Up and she listened to my concerns and was very easy to talk to. She also had a lot of knowledge and understood exactly what was wrong with the dress and she saw what I saw. I felt so relieved! She fixed it to snatch the waist and show more of my curves and also fixed the boob part by taking out the stiff fabric so that my boobs didn't look awkward. She's amazing and definitely knows what she's doing! Highly recommend. I will be back for other alteration needs. Thank you Tina!
