First impressions are important. The staff at Julie's pulled something off that meant a lot in a time that mattered the most. I visited Julie's last week to drop off my work attire. I was told everything would be ready for pick-up on Saturday (as stated on the receipt) so I stopped in yesterday. The clothes are needed for work on Monday morning. When I handed the cashier my receipt, I was informed that my blouses were ready, but not my pants. I was not happy with this. The owner, Ria, approached me and said she didn't have my pants and asked when I needed them. I explained I work in Center City and wouldn't have time to come by before work on Monday. She said she could meet me at the dry cleaners today (Sunday) and provide the pants. My understanding is they don't dry clean dress slacks on premise. She took down my phone number and said she'd call me. Yesterday evening I got a phone call from Ria saying she had 4 pairs of pants ready and was willing to drop them off to me at my doorstep. I didn't know what to say. She drove from her home to get me my pants and hand them to me. The customer service blew me away. Ria said I would get a text message indicating when I could pick up the remaining pairs of pants. I'm sure you could imagine how displeased I could've been walking away from this business, but Ria was quick to turn a negative experience around and make sure I was a happy client. I can't thank Ria and Julie's enough for their dedication to their customers. read more

The only place I trust with my garments! I work in retail, specializing in designer gowns and Julie's is the only place I will go. I often send my customers to go here especially if they're in the NE area. The service is amazing, and garments are done by the date you need them! Pricing is also great, Julie's does not disappoint! I highly recommended. read more

See all

I have been going to this place for over ten years. I have been happy with the value, service, and friendliness of the staff.

I went here to get my skirt hemmed. They did it really fast and it was affordable!!!! read more

Staff was friendly and helped with a last-minute tux alteration. Everything that I wanted to be done wasn't able to and they still charge me the same price. I would go there again for simpler things and fast service on a time budget! read more

Recently we had a family wedding and my sister purchased a gown from dress up time on frankford Ave. They sent her here with an expensive gown. They ruined the gown the tailoring was all wrong. The inside seams were sticking out. She could barely move her arms. Her daughter also went there where she was humiliated by the women screaming at her that she was crazy for buying that size dress. And she proceeded to ruin her dress to. Do not go here they are incompetent and rude. read more

If I could give Julie's ten stars, I totally would. I haven't had much dry cleaning done here, but that's because I don't own many things that are dry cleanable. The dry cleaning I *have* had done has been impeccable, though, with them trying more than once to remove stains at no extra charge. They are even accommodating with my quirks of asking for no wire hangers or plastic coverings on my cleaning (I bring my own plastic hangers - save the planet, man!). What truly makes Julie's a superstar in my book is the alterations. I've had several items altered here - pants hemmed and waists taken in, and even a few more "unique" projects like adding ruffle trim to the bottom of a dress that had stains that refused to come out, and altering a fancy little girl's dress for Christmas. Ria, the owner, is always up for the challenge, and they do incredible work. I always know when I pick up my items that you would have no idea they'd been altered at all. They're that good! Always friendly, and willing to accommodate rush jobs if necessary, even at their busiest times of the year. They are easily accessible, in the same building as the Wawa at Frankford and Linden, and walkable from my house. I am super picky about alterations, and I won't go anywhere else! Go, you won't be disappointed! read more

First let me start by saying that everybody here is extremely professional and nice. The alterations myself and my daughter had on my sisters bridesmaids dresses are the reasons I'm giving two stars. We chose to go here instead of David's bridal thinking it would be cheaper. It may have been slightly less, but not much. My daughter needed to have her straps taken in. 10 minutes into the reception both straps completely broke from the dress. I had to have my straps taken in and my dress hemmed. When I tried on the dress I was still tripping over it it was so long, I had to bring it back and have it fixed again and they gave me no problem in doing so. I thought that was really good customer service, but my straps fell down all night long. Bottom line, the alterations were crappy for the price. I would go here to have things dry cleaned, but never alterations again. read more

I don't use a dry cleaning very often, but I needed a few pairs of pants hemmed and I decided to have my dress clothes cleaned and pressed since I was going here anyway. Good service, quick pickup time, and reasonable prices! Would definitely use Julie's again! read more

Five stars is not nearly enough to describe how satisfied I was with the service at Julie's cleaners. My mom, who just turned 85, needed alterations for an upcoming wedding. It was a bit challenging. Julie went out of her way to accommodate us the best that she could and she did a wonderful job. I wouldn't go anywhere else for either dry cleaning or any type of alterations. read more

I had a jacket that needed special modifications ( concealed carry). I took the jacket to this establishment and spoke with a gentleman from India who spoke in broken English but seemed to understand my needs. The price quoted was extremely reasonable,and he also asked if i wanted him to press it,no charge of course I said yes. I admit I was a bit skeptical because of the language barrier. When I picked up the jacket the work he did and it was by hand,far exceeded my expectations. Flawless, sturdy work done by an extremely friendly and professional gentleman. read more

Fantastic! I currently live in Maryland and was coming home to Philly for an event and I had a pair of pants that needed some last minute alterations. I dropped my pants off at Julie's at 8:30 and they were ready for me by 11:30, which was 2 hours before my event, giving me plenty of time in between. They demonstrate excellent customer service and all around great work. Will definitely be returning for any future needs! read more

I've been a customer of Julie's for years and years. Her shop is attached to the Wawa at Frankford and Linden. Julie herself is almost always there, and she's a really pleasant woman. I think her son works there, too, as well as a few other people, and they're always really nice. The store is small and not much to look at, but it's a dry cleaner's, so it doesn't need to be fancy. What's important is that my clothes always come back fresh, clean, and perfectly pressed in no time flat. Her prices are really reasonable. My favorite service is the tailoring. I always take clothes to Julie for alterations. She does a perfect job, even on difficult thing like hemming a pleated skirt (yes, back in the day, I went to Catholic school). She's also really good at cleaning weird fabrics like suede. She should get 6 stars, I like her that much. read more

Normally does a great job fitting gowns. But last gown both my friend n I got fitted for wedding was too long n we asked to b hemmed she thought it would b fine said it was sweeping the floor it was not fine we were tripping over the gown the entire wedding. N our bust was taken in and that was loose during wedding and we did not loose weight. I was beyond disappointed because i was uncomfortable due to this issue and i recommended so many people:( read more

Who would drive over the bridge just to go to Julie's Cleaners? Me! I love Ria and her helpers -- have been going there for close to 20 years. They are unbelievable at alterations and repairs. If you have something special or sentimental, bring it here. You can trust them with it. They even preserved my wedding dress. They are also very reasonable. Can't recommend them enough! read more

I waited to the very last minute to have a dress altered for an event tonight. They saw me at 2, I just picked it up at 4. It's beautiful. They did an awesome job and were very nice and extremely accommodating. Will DEF go back read more

Great shop! This place is top notch and the customer service was some of the best I've had. The owner was very sweet and talked my wife out of dress alterations that weren't really needed. I was glad to see that an owner wasn't just out for money. If you need alterations done, go to Julie's. Solid 5 stars read more

Very personable owner, Ria. She's always on point, reasonable pricing, quality and timely service. Definitely recommend!

Great cleaning, great alterations, great prices, great staff. I love this place. I had my wedding gown taken in here and they did a wonderful job. read more

These people are GREAT! Hard working and precise! The bottom of my pants pocket just tore out, from carrying too much stuff. I took them in, and didn't know what to expect. They put a new pocket in, and it is BETTER than it was origionally. I would not THINK of going anywhere else! :) ~Cindy! :) .. read more

I had my daughter's prom dress altered here and they did a great job. The dress needed to be taken in and it had an open back so, it was a little tricky to get it right but she did. We also had bra cups sewn into the dress and the entire dress was beaded and she fixed all the loose beads(there were a lot, we bought it second hand) for far less than any of the other quotes I had received. I will go back to her for all future alterations. read more

I just got a bridesmaids dress altered by Julie's cleaners. I brought it in about less than a week and a half prior to the wedding and I was worried because it needed a bit of work done to it and was also 100% sequins. The owner and manager both told me not to worry about it and had it back to me with plenty of time to spare. And on top of it it fit amazingly and was exactly how I imagined it would be! I will absolutely be back!!!! read more

Fast, friendly service with a smile! Julie is super nice and has been doing the dry cleaning and alterations for my fiance's family for years. When I started working nearby his mom recommended Julie's and now I come here for all my dry cleaning and repair needs. She has done a great job getting spots out of silk blouses and handling delicate items with care. There is ample parking and it's easy to get to off I-95. Can't beat it. read more

I got two dresses altered here and was amazed at how well they turned out. We were on a bit of a time crunch and Julie was very professional and accommodated my needs. She knew exactly what alterations needed to be done without direction. She definitely knows what she's doing. Very grateful for her work! read more

We have been using Julie's for a while because they got great reviews and we needed a dry cleaner that also does good alterations. We were very happy until recently. First we gave them a shirt with a stained collar - they didn't get the stain out after two tries and didn't say anything about why; just gave the shirt back as if they had cleaned it. Then I asked for the hem on a pair of pants to be fixed - the pants were dry cleaned but the hem was never fixed (even though I paid for the repair). Then I went to pickup some dry cleaning yesterday - the employee at the counter seemed confused at first when I gave him the ticket but then handed me six shirts and charged me 7.95. I thought I might be missing a piece from my order but I left anyway. Halfway home I remembered that I didn't get a sweater back. I called right away and I spoke with the manager who also seemed confused. She asked if I needed the sweater that night - I told her said no and when I asked when it would be ready, she said she would call me back. My husband called today and found out that she gave the sweater to another customer. She told him she needed a few days to get it back - she apologized but didn't offer any consolation for the trouble. Needless to say as soon as we get the sweater back (IF we get it back) we are finding a new dry cleaner. read more

I have been a customer of Julies Cleaners for the last five years and I am always satisfied. Everyone at Julies is great and very helpful, especially Ria the owner! She knows everything! I am extremely picky with my clothes since they are all designer and I trust no one else in the area. They even do a great job with alterations! read more

Julie's had really good reviews and that was the reason I went here for alterations to a bridesmaid dress. I needed the dress to be taken in a bit and I wanted it hemmed (it was an awkward length). The fee for taking the dress in was reasonable, but they wanted to charge $30 for a simple hem. This was very disappointing because although I wanted the dress shorter, I ended up having to opt out. I asked her why it would be so much and she told me it was more work than it looks like. Then, I told them I needed the dress by a certain day, and to my concern, the woman told me it would be ready that day (which obviously worried me in case there was an issue or they didn't finish it on time). But she insisted it would be ready, so I took the gamble. When I went to go pick up the dress, the woman was on the phone and ignored me for about 2 minutes before deciding to acknowledge I was there. In terms of the actual dress, it came out fine. But their customer service caused me to not want to return. read more

I took a beautiful black and white gown to get cleaned and when I got it back the white part of my dress was not white anymore. The black bled through to the white. I took it back and the person at Julie's told me it happens and nothing could be done. I don't understand if the dress was dry cleaned how a material would bleed. He said it happens. Well if you know it happens why not tell me that When I dropped it off to get cleaned and let me make that decision whether to get it cleaned or not. What once was beautiful dress cannot be worn again. I will never go to this cleaners again. read more

Julie is the only person I trust with alterations!! Slacks, Jeans, and dresses are taken to her for alterations, always comes back perfectly. Treats all the customers friendly and polite. Dry cleaning always comes back pressed to perfection and fresh. Also has the convenience of a Drop Box when your on the run. Highly recommended. read more

I love the new 24 hours drop off box they just put it because I can drop off my clothes whenever I want and I can get them the next day, I've been a customer for a very long time and they are the best, they have great prices, and do great alterations! I am always happy with the work they do on my clothes. read more

I always liked the quality and pricing. The thing which sets Julie's apart is the personal care they take with each customer. One small example was when I left BOTH of my daughter's uniforms at Julie's the day before her first day of high school. I remembered them 2 minutes prior to closing. Not many businesses would answer the phone on their way out the door LET ALONE wait an extra 15 minutes for a freaking-out mom...but she did! I will never go anywhere else. read more
