I love local businesses that care about their customers! I needed hemming for my pants, and they took care of me right away. What I love most is that you can bring your clothing back within 5 days if it's not a perfect fit. They guarantee their work and the girls that helped me were quick and efficient. I highly recommend. read more

Hemster - Got my pants altered last week! - Sewing & Alterations Near Me

See all

I honestly had the most amazing experience with my wedding items that when I got a coat I was so excited to get it fixed up with hemster, but it has been a nightmare. They do not list the items they are offering on their website so I paid for a video call just to be told they are unable to do what i needed. I then reached out to their customer service and the person continuously said they would not refund me even though I showed them where their website was lacking to share their available alterations to their customers. I'm so bummed, I feel like I was stolen from because they are severely lacking with the needed information to make an appointment. It seems that their business model is to steal video call fees from clients because the person who was "helping" me was firm even after showing how they gave no information for me to know better about what services they were offering. Highly would not recommend using this service online at least. Go to your local tailor who will actually treat you like a person and not steal money from you for 0 services. read more

I've been putting off dropping my clothes off at the tailor's for a while now since it's hard to find time around work and school so I was super excited when I heard about Hemster from my classmate. The girl who picked them up was punctual and personable, and my clothes were returned faster than other places I've been to. Honestly, the convenience alone will keep me coming back to them. read more

I bought a suit and pair of slacks and was referred to Hemster for tailoring. BreAnda was so easy to work with and made me feel comfortable with the process - she came to my home (on time), was professional yet friendly, and helped me get a good fit. She made adjustments with pins, took notes, then scheduled me for a follow up appointment at which time she returned with the tailored slacks...a perfect fit! BreAnda did a great job! read more

Hemster is sooo easy and convenient. Jillian did my fitting and BreAnda dropped it off and I didn't need anymore alterations. Both ladies were lovely and professional. I'll definitely use this service for all of my tailor needs! read more

After my review, and after reaching out to customer service again on my own... I heard back today and they again offered me $15 off future orders You have to be kidding me! There will be no future orders. Not only were my clothes ruined and my time wasted, but the management and customer service of this company is absolutely horrific. I have now been going back and forth with customer service for a month. They keep saying someone will call me and they never do. Instead, I get a different customer service people giving me vanilla responses everything 3ish days. Not even enough respect for their customers to have one support person follow through and make sure this issue is resolved. read more

Great customer service, my dress that was altered that I paid extra for still didn't fit 100% the way it was supposed to and they missed an area as well. But, customer service was great and I needed a fast turn around. I would use them again but give yourself some time Incase you need additional alterations. read more

I was skeptical about this service, but I have to say I was super impressed by both Hemster and my fitter BreAnda. She made the whole process seamless (no pun intended) and friendly while delivering top-notch tailoring. I had 6 items tailored from minor repairs to completely changing the fit of a pair of trousers and I was very impressed. I would definitely use Hemster again, and request BreAnda! read more

I first heard about Hemster at my bridal appointment with BHLDN. We then heard about Hemster while scouting bridesmaid dresses at Reformation. For someone with a schedule like mine, an in-home fitting is a dream come true! I was lucky enough to have been scheduled with Mimi. My bridesmaids and I can't say enough positive things about her! She was friendly, knowledgeable and a joy to invite into my home. My wedding dress and bridesmaids dresses came out PERFECTLY with minimal fitting appointments. I also had my rehearsal dinner dress hemmed with them and it also came out perfectly! Highly recommend this service and highly recommend Mimi!! Thank you Hemster for helping contribute to the wedding of my dreams! read more

AMAZING SERVICE!! This place came in very clutch...I needed a dress hemmed for a party I was attending over the weekend and I couldn't figure out a time I was going to be able to make it to a tailor. I work all day during the week and when I get off work all the good tailors near me are closed. With Hemster, Alex came to my office during my lunch break and fit the dress then did the delivery to the tailor and back to my office. The price for the dress alteration was pretty similar to other tailors in the area but with the added convenience. All in all it was an awesome experience and good quality tailoring! I will definitely be using Hemster moving forward. read more

Editing AGAIN to add that despite multiple emails from me and multiple responses from Cameron promising to refund me the cost of the destroyed dress, plus the cost of the alterations, 20 days later, this is STILL not resolved. I would like to point out that they agreed the dress was destroyed as indicated by taking the dress from me and keeping it, asking for photos of pre and post, and then promising me these credits. Also, I wore another dress for the first time that they altered for me and saw that it was taken in way too much. Do yourself a favor and NEVER use this company. They will destroy your clothes, and never refund you your money. :( read more

Five stars to the superstar that is Jillian! Not only does she obviously know what she's doing inside and out, but she's also just a pleasure to hang out with while going through the measurement process. She will drop all sorts of zero waste knowledge on you too if that's something you're into (I am and learned a whole bunch more during our meeting). read more

Hemster is the real deal!! Their service allows me to wear tailored jeans. What's great, their prices are very reasonable. I mean, where else can you get fitted in the comfort of your own home. Cecilia measured my jeans to a "T". The fit is just the way I like. Cecilia is great! Thumbs up to the entire Hemster team! I definitely will be using their services moving forward. I strongly recommend Hemster! read more

Love the service. Always have had trouble finding a tailor I love and the convenience and quality of Hemster can't be beat. I've been working with Jillian who has been amazing. Finally wearing the half of my closet that now fits me properly. read more

Mimi IS THE ABSOLUTE BEST. My wedding dress happened to have a fussy plunging v-neck that I needed covering up. She never gave up, was extremely attentive, and genuinely made it feel as though I was hanging out with an old friend laughing and joking as we tried to fix my darn dress, which she and her team were able to do successfully. I really could go on and on about how amazing the experience with Hemster was BECAUSE of MIMI. But in a nutshell, if you have a formal- semi formal event ask for Mimi, as well as any other trailering need you may have. **pricing was fair **on time and great with communication. **professional with a "mom and pop" customer service vibe. read more

I had a ridiculously long pair of jeans that desperately needed to be altered. The Hemster team measured it and hemmed it up perfectly. Now I'm not tripping all over myself! Great service and great team! read more

Hemster did good and quick tailoring work for me on my suits and tuxedo. BreAnda was friendly punctual knowledgeable and very helpful! Would use again!! read more

Woohoo first review! It was such a pleasure working with Hemster! As a pretty busy lady I never have time to get new clothes hemmed. But with Hemster, Alex came to my office, did a complete fitting and then I had my clothes back in two days! She was so sweet and accommodating and made me feel very comfortable throughout the entire process. Hemster is already established up in SF but I am so glad they are expanding here in LA! I will for sure be using them the next time I need any more alterations. read more

I was introduced to this service when my husband bought a suit and the store recommended Hemster to him. I just had 3 skirts with elastic waistbands altered and a small hole in my husband's coat mended. BreAnda was the person who took care of this for us. She is an absolute delight! She was prompt and listened carefully to what I wanted done. When she brought them back, she had me try them on to confirm it's what I wanted. I so appreciate her energy, professionalism and her effervescent personality. I highly recommend this service and BreAnda in particular. read more

I highly recommend this place! I had a couple pairs of pants done with a raw finish and they nailed it. As the other reviews have mentioned, I didn't have to go to them, they came to me! So convenient. There is a fitting fee but I thought it was totally worth it considering I didn't need to take anytime out of my day. read more

Mimi is absolutely amazing! Very professional throughout each of her visits with me and my fiancée! This was my first time having my suit tailored and the process has been nothing short of spectacular! For anyone who is wondering who to look for I strongly recommend Mimi as your go to person! Exceptional work and an exceptional person! read more

I used Hemster to take in a few of my pants and they did a great job! When I booked them online I was apprehensive to have someone come over but when Crystal came it was like greeting a friend. She was so friendly and knowledgeable! I ended up taking in three pairs of paints and hemming a dress. The turnaround was quick too! I would def use hemster again! read more

Using Hemster was such a seamless process. I needed a pair of workout leggings shortened so I went to the concierge at my apartment building and they recommended I use Hemster. Since I knew it was going to be a simple alteration, I did the fitting myself then simply dropped the leggings off at the concierge desk. I paid with the concierge a $10 charge because I did the fitting myself. Hemster came to my building and picked up the leggings then sent me an invoice and a deliver back date which was one week later. A week later I picked up my leggings at my concierge and it was all done. The leggings looked great and I didn't have to make multiple stops to see a tailor which saved me so much time especially here in LA! read more

I'm short 5'4 to be exact and most if not all my clothes always need to be taken in. A friend used Hemster and referred me and it was the best! No more going in to a tailor when they come and fit for you and deliver! I actually pay more taking my things in to the cleaners. I tried out a pair of pants for my first order and I'll def be returning. read more

I'm giving three stars because the quality of the tailoring was good, however I probably wouldn't use Hemster again for a few reasons. One, the convenience of having them come to your home is outweighed by the fact that it takes way longer to get your clothes back than just going to a local tailor. It's also more expensive. I understand the higher prices if you're paying for the convenience, but the long wait time makes it no longer convenient. Also the company seemed pretty disorganized to me. My appointment got rescheduled without asking me, then I got a call the next day to ask if they could do the rescheduling that they'd already done. There was also a billing error where they tried to charge me even though I'd already paid. Customer service resolved the billing issue, but combined with the rescheduling and a couple other issues I haven't mentioned, they seem like they really don't have it together, which makes me not want to use them again. read more
