Honestly the guy lost my business and my respect upon walking in the store. I walked in and I greeted him first and he said hello back but just looked at me awkwardly.. so I began to let him no I was looking to get some jeans altered he walked around and pointed to the jeans and said "what is that supposed to be" I said there JEANS with and he quickly said "oh I see someone else worked on them there's nothing I can do with them" and I just turned around and left because I just needed my waist area fixed and he didn't bother to ask or show any concern anyways. Wouldn't recommend just based off customer service .. Sorry, not sorry. read more

Was given a short time frame to get the alterations done and completed them beautifully. Our dresses look lovely, and were tailored exactly how we wanted them. Thank you so much! read more

Its been about 2 years since I've been here. Upon entering I found the store to be arranged slightly differently that I remembered. Also, a new face greeted me! This used to be run and owned by an elderly couple (awe, cute, I know rright)... but I've learned they since retired. The new owner previously worked for Hickey Freeman. If you do your homework you'll note that they are currently the company in charge of USA Uniforms for the next OLYMPICS!!!! So, this guy knows his way around a well tailored suit! They are pretty fast here, but I always like to give 3 weeks lee-way just to be safe. Heads up- They only take Cash or Check!!! read more

I purchased a button-up knit shirt and the buttons were misaligned. I took it to this tailor and when he began examining the shirt...he let me know how cheap the shirt was. He then had me write down my number and told me he would call when ready. Its been 5 months and i have never heard from him. read more

I was looking for a tailor who could do a fast turn around order for me as I noticed that a pair of pants that I wanted to take on vacation with me had a broken zipper, so I googled "quick tailors near me" and this shop came up in my results. They happened to be fairly close, so I stopped in. The gentleman behind the counter was friendly and welcoming. He said that he could get the job done in the timeframe that I needed, so I was happy to give him the business. When I went to pick them up, I was pleasantly surprised by the price and the quality of the replacement zipper; my pants were freshly pressed and the sewing was perfect. I would recommend this shop and will definitely be back! Thank you!! read more

Huge fan of this place! The shop is located on East Henrietta with parking right outside the door. The owner/tailor is amazing, he is so good at making alterations. When you walk in they make sure to go over exactly what you want done and how much it will cost.... definitely that old school feel of a mom and pop shop. I was on a time crunch to have so changes to a bridal dress and not only did he work a miracle for me but he had everything done in just a few days. The dress came out perfect, you couldn't tell that work had been done on it! He really works with the customer, so nice to experience that! I have since gone back for shorting my dress pants...tough being short. He always hides the hem lines. They only except cask or check...not a big deal! read more

The owner is a professional and considerate gentleman. Just be sure to clearly specify exactly what you want from the beginning. He will tell you bluntly but politely if it's possible or not. I liked that. Will take cash or card (but cash is better as cards charge businesses a fee for use.) read more

I highly recommend Istanbul Tailor. The owner/tailor is very good at his job, and everything is extremely reasonably priced. Here's a breakdown of the work I got done: - One dress (straps had to be shortened) - three pairs of pants (all had to be shortened and the waists adjusted) ~ $20 each - one suit jacket (taken in a bit, and sleeves shortened) Altogether, it cost $103 for the entire set. It was a steal--and it was done very well. He takes credit card! Also, sometimes he works other hours than is listed. I called in, and was able to come after it is supposed to be closed on a weekend. I will definitely come back here for future alterations. read more

I am absolutely a fan. Their prices are way better than other places I have visited. To get my Jacket cuff's shortened, it cost $22 And to get my silk blazer taken in it cost $34. They only take Cash or Check!!! That's the only bummer, but I brought in my jackets on a Tuesday and asked, if possible, if they could finish by Friday the same time, and it was no problem! Phew!!! Nice people, very satisfied. Out of curosity I asked how much it was take to take a leather jacket in, they said around $40!!! Yay they do leather!! read more

Great service and attention to detail. Also very friendly and great value and quality work.

Excellent!!! Brought in a pair of jeans to be hemmed and taken in. The gentleman did a perfect job. They fit like a glove! He also fixed some torn belt loops. All for a very reasonable price! Highly recommend. read more

One of my pant hems came undone so I googled the places closest and got lucky. The gentleman working up front stopped what he was doing, hemmed up my pant leg ironed it to give it a fresh crease and charged me $5. I will definitely be returning and I highly recommend. read more

Excellent work and fair pricing. I brought a jacket in that needed a lot done and it was ready on time and beautifully.

I was looking for a good tailor in the Rochester area who did a wonderful job at a good price and I found one! He's fantastic and knows exactly what he's doing and does it with precision! Highly recommend read more

I cannot praise this business enough. I brought numerous dresses and pants here before I moved to Los Angeles three years ago, and the craftsmanship was so superb I decided to return for a quick alteration when I was in town for a wedding. I needed the hem of my jumper let down a few inches so I could wear heeled boots--but here's the thing, my tailor didn't just let the hems down and press the jumper, he added a strip of fabric inside along the seam to make the hem stronger (and honestly much, much prettier.) I didn't ask him to do this extra work. He did it of his own volition! It's GORGEOUS work, and he improved the quality of one of my favorite garments with his phenomenal skill. Not only this, he did it all in 24 hours and charged me only a modest fee. I urge you: if you want professional tailoring or alterations, do yourself a favor! Take your prized garments to Istanbul Tailor Shop in Henrietta, you will be so pleased you did. read more

I've been using this place for over 10 years now. Even though the older couple retired, the new guy is very nice and does a great job with my altercations and repairs. The prices are very reasonable and now I just ask how much it will cost, just so I know how much cash to bring when I pick up my clothes. read more

How lovely it was to patronize an old-fashioned European craftsman business! The family knows their trade and altered a prom dress so perfectly it was as if custom made for my daughter. The price was reasonable and the time frame was perfect! I definitely will keep them in mind when the time comes to buy mother of the bride outfits! read more
