I can agree... her work is immaculate…read more When I found my wedding dress it was the last one, it was on clearance, and it was too big (by a lot). I loved the dress so much that I bought it. I really wanted to change the neckline from a straight across strapless to a sweetheart, but David's Bridal wouldn't change the design, so I started shopping around. With all the layers and the beading everyone was quoting me at $600-$700. Then my friend told me about the place she just took her dress too (she did a ton a major changes) and said it was a more reasonable price. I saw her before and after photos and was stunned. I took my dress in and got it taken in about 2 full sizes the first time, then since I lost some weight had it taken in another size. Had the neck line changed to a sweetheart, had the length shortened, and had a bustle put in. My dress has about 4 layers that had to be altered and she hand placed the lace and beading for the new neckline, and on top of that she said some of the beads were loose so she tacked them back down. All for $375. I was amazed!! Now my dress fits like a glove and I am ready for my wedding in 18 days!!!

When I purchased my wedding dress off the rack at Magnolia, they recommended me to A-Z alterations…read more(along with a couple other local shops). She was quick and responsive when I called to schedule my first fitting. The first fitting went perfect, she was super helpful and made some recommendations to make the dress easier to bustle/ wear throughout the wedding. We scheduled the second fitting for about a month which was like amazing turn around! When I arrived to the second appointment she was not there. I stood in the drizzle for 15 minutes and called like 3 times before giving up. I called multiple times the next few days and never heard back (super anxiety enduring for a bride)! My (now) husband ended up stopping by her shop during regular business hours and managed to get her to call me back. Turns out there had been some mishaps with her keys and she locked herself out of her store. We were able to schedule the 2nd fitting and everything went well. I did loose a little weight though and she recommended coming in a week or so before the wedding for final alterations in case I lost more or fluctuated again. I called to schedule something about 10 days before the wedding and she was shocked, saying it was not a lot of time but she would do it. She ended up turning it around in a weekend and the dress fit perfect! Her quality is fantastic, but communication wasn't my favorite. Generally cost was about what I expected for the area and luckily I got my dress on a fat discount so I had the wiggle room. I don't think my experience was the worst case scenario and probably not the typical - overall I would recommend but maybe only planning your appointments during her normal open hours!

Walking into Min Kim's I was pleasantly surprised by the artistic, clean, and fashion chic decor…read more I've been to other alteration shops which look like a tornado hit the inside. However, at Min's I felt like they really take their business seriously and take pride in the quality of their work, seen from the clean alterations but also by the manor in which they keep there office looking so cute and organized. There's attention to detail in everything. The ladies at Min Kim have an artistic eye for knowing how clothes should be altered and fitted! I wanted to get one of my blouses for work altered the, they suggested it didn't need altering (loved the honesty). They were not pushy or intrusive in any way which was refreshing. Overall GREAT SERVICE and REASONABLE prices for alterations! Will definitely come back!!

Min Kim is around the corner from my Office. When I'd drive West on upper Lighthouse, I'd…read morefrequently find myself parking in front of their beautiful shop to admire their clothes and scarves. Each time I walked by Min Kim, I always stopped to look. I was riveted and impressed by the clean classic lines, impeccable finishing and the sheer beauty of their clothing. I figured they must be very expensive. I lost out for over 2 years due to this uninformed assumption. I finally walked in to ASK about their alteration prices. They were authentically warm and welcoming. I felt treated as an honored guest in their home. The shop was delightfully clean, with not a pin out of place. I'm petite. Consequently, I'd roll up most of my jeans so that I wouldn't trip over them. My other jeans featured hems that dragged on the floor. I asked Min Kim what thy would charge to hem them. Then I asked the same question about hand hemming. I was surprised to find that there was no additional charge for hand hemming. I was also surprised about how very affordable the quote was. So surprised that I queried, "For each leg?" It was per jean. I brought 2 pairs in for hand hemming. They were pinned with care and excellent communication about length. They asked me when I needed them. Even though I'd said, "No hurry," the beautifully hemmed jeans were ready for pickup inside of 2 days. They had me try them on to ensure I had exactly what I wanted. I did - in fact, so much so that I wasted no time in bringing in 8 more jeans to be hand hemmed. Because of the extremely affordable price for their artistry and impeccable labor, I all but had to arm wrestle them before they'd accept my check on which I'd gratefully added in more than the price of their bill. Min Kim did a flawless job on all the jeans (and at an unmatched great price!), They more than exceeded my expectations. Ever since then, I've been able to feel comfortable and have full confidence while entrusting them with my clothing. I'm delighted with the care and attention they've given to all of my clothes. The've expertly shortened and altered my dresses, slacks, shirts and blouses, turning each piece into bespoke clothing. My next job for them: replicating one of my favorite dresses that had an unfortunate encounter with my favorite pink lipstick in the dryer. The lipstick won the bout. Mea culpa. I'm thrilled with the quality, prices, expertise and superb customer relations that I can always count on at Min Kim. I've lived on the Peninsula since 1983 and been to many dressmakers. Min Kim has earned my loyalty and business for life.
