Very nice lady who works out of her home. She hemmed some work pants for me and they came out nice.

I called Kim and she answered right away. She was very sweet and responsive to my questions. I asked if she had time to hemmed two pairs of dress pants, how much it would cost, and what an ETA would be. I got two pants hemmed. 15 cash each. She got them done before my asked deadline. Kim has 40+ years of experience working as a tailor from her mom. Parking is a bit tough but just be on the look out. I needed to walk anyway. She's a sweet Cambodian lady who works pretty much every day. Just give her a call. read more

I'll start by saying that I was excited to give her a 5-star yelp review upon meeting her. She reminded me a lot of my mom, who does alterations from home, with decades of experience as a seamstress. Her reviews have been excellent, and I love to support small, local businesses. Unfortunately, when I received my new pants today, I was severely disappointed. I have had innumerable pieces of clothing altered since I was a kid, mostly by my mom, but also from other professionals. Seeing my pants today, I thought, "I have never seen such shoddy work in my life." These were a brand new pair of pants that were expected to last me for many years to come, as they are durable and made for rock climbing. I can no longer fully open my right back pocket and now have these asymmetrical vertical lines behind me. For some odd reason, she created two pleats in the waist, so when I wear these pants, I have two bulges pressing in to my lumbar area. Nearly all of my pants have been altered at the waist, and none of them have been altered in this manner before. And to top it all off, the pants are now too tight for me to wear. I took a chance with Kim, looking to support a local business. She charged me $15, which is more than I've ever been charged for a simple reduction in the waist, and the quality of the job was poor. Although I am pretty bummed with this result, I am glad others have had good experiences with her. I just can't recommend her to anyone. read more

See all

Called Kim around noon & said she'll be able to do same day service if i dropped off my jumpsuit asap & pickup by 5pm, i arrived to her address & realized it was a family owned duplex. she then came out to open the gate for me. We then went in her home & she had me go change in her restroom to try on the jumpsuit, she then did her measurements . since all i needed was the pants hemmed she charged me a total of $25 due to the material of the jumpsuit. she does CASH ONLY. shes a retired sweet lady who tailors from home. parking can be abit tricky. i'll definitely be back read more

Kim always does a great job tailoring my clothes she's friendly and has my clothes ready pretty quick.

The only person I trust for tailoring is Kim. She does an amazing job in making sure she does exactly what you ask for and has it ready very quick. She works from home but she is very nice and her prices reflect her work so I will never haggle over her hard work. I can't recommend her enough! read more

I was looking for a last minute alterations for a dress. Tried calling other shops and they were all booked for WEEKS until I found Kim and called her. I called to see if she was able to do same day alterations and she said yes! I took my dress in the morning and received it by 5pm I am very happy with her work. I highly recommend Kim she is a sweet lady who gets the job done. -I struggled a bit to find the address, maps might send you to a different place but it's closer to the Taco Bell. I'm so glad I found Kim!!!! read more

Thank you for whoever created this account for Kim! I'm so happy to have found her. I will now only go to her. I needed two pairs of dress slacks shortened ASAP. Of course, I waited until the last minute to find someone to get this done. Found her page on yelp, read the reviews, saw she lived super close by, took a risk and called at 7:45pm in a Sunday, got her on the phone immediately, dropped off the pants at 8pm, she called for me ready to pick up Tuesday morning. Yay! Couple things to note and be aware of: Pros - can call her day or night, she's always working - works out of her house. living room is a super spacious dressing room. Just be comfortable showing some skin - quick turnaround time - super friendly and sweet - very fair pricing Cons, but not really - parking is hard to find at night since it's all neighborhood street parking, daytime super easy to find parking. She'll let you block her driveway, if needed. - cash only. she'll tell you your total at drop off so you have plenty of time to run to the bank - her English isn't perfect. But you still won't have any problem communicating what you need done read more

I was in need of wedding dress alterations desperately. I waited til the last minute to get my dress altered so of course I was paying for it I went to 3 different alterations places & none of them could fix my dress. I went to David's bridal, they could do it but they wanted $350. I called Kim the day I was supposed to go to David's bridal. She was able to see me, she took my dress & had it ready in time for my wedding. Kim works from home but she's extremely skilled, she has about 40yrs of experience. Her prices are really reasonable too. She did a great job, I was too frazzled to take before & After pictures but she saved my Wedding dress. See Kim for your alteration needs! read more

I just moved into the area so I was looking for a tailor nearby and Kim was the perfect person. I needed my pants hemmed, and my friend that I brought needed her dress hemmed. We came to her on a Friday and told her we didn't need them done until the following Thursday and she got them done by Tuesday! Kim did a great job and she was super sweet. Like the other reviews said, you do change into your clothes in her living room right in front of her, but she didn't make me uncomfortable at all. If anything she was extremely welcoming! read more

I'm so glad I found Kim's Tailoring! She's super nice and always does a fantastic job altering my clothes. She's very flexible with measuring and pickup dates and times and even did a rush job within a couple of days. read more

Tailored an oversized dress I bought online because my size wasn't available. Fits perfectly!

Kim is incredible! She tailored my suit to perfection. She is also incredibly sweet. I would give her 10 stars if I could.

Kim did a great job and was very understanding! I needed a rush job on two dresses and she had them done faster than any other tailor I've gone to. She works out of her home and there was plenty of street parking in the day time and even at 7pm. You can always park at the lot of the little plaza nearby and walk over if you can't find street parking. read more

Really glad I went to Kim to tailor my clothes. She was super quick and relatively inexpensive, but also did a really good job, it didn't seem like the job was rushed. She told me she's been tailoring for 30 years and it's obvious she has a lot of experience. Will definitely be returning to shorten the legs of all my pants. Kim does work from her home, but if you give her a call at (562) 209 6129 during her hours, she'll come let you in. read more

Responded quickly. Nice lady. But working out of her home and she has cats. Folks clothes hanging all over the living room. Cat hair everywhere. So. It was a NO for me. I actually considered it and even tried my dress on in her living room. Then I kept looking around and was like, no no no, I easily and carefully took my dress off, back in the bag it went and I bounced out of there. read more

I just left from and. Kim's residence for an alteration and she is the SWEETEST lady. Total grandmother vibes but very professional. I will warn you that she does invite you to get undressed and to try on your garments right in the living room so please be prepared lol. She also has a restroom for those who may be uncomfortable. She has been sewing for about 60 years so your items are in the best of hands. Her pricing is extremely reasonable as well. Enjoy! read more

I'm here to tell you that Kim is still tailoring! She is very kind. Does a great job. Does it fast. And does it for a great price (simple men's pants hem is 8 bucks, for instance). Is very accommodating and things are just all-around awesome! The address is her house just south of the All 8 Motel (the very first house). Give her a call to let her know you want to stop by! I park right in front of her gate since I'm not there long and it works just fine. *Cash only!* read more

*** UPDATE *** This business has relocated to: 1784 Junipero Avenue Signal Hill, CA 90755 The new phone number is (562) 209-6129, and you should now call for an appointment. *** END OF UPDATE *** This tailor is the best kept secret in all of Long Beach. The inside and outside might not be all that much to look at, but Mrs. Kim does excellent work, and best of all, her prices are the best in the area. To shorten a pair of men's or women's pants, she charges $6.00. And to shorten the sleeves on a suit coat, she charges $8.00. She also does blouses, skirts, suits, shirts, chair covers, drapes, and curtains. Kim's Tailoring has been at the same location since the 80's and been in the business for 40 years, so I'm sure you'll be as impressed with their work as I was. If you are going to stop by, the shop is open until 6:00pm during the week - just knock on the door if the lights are on and Mrs. Kim will let you in. read more

Wow. I found Kim off of yelp. I was a little hesitant at first to go to someone working out of their home, but I'm so glad I trusted the stellar reviews here. Kim did an excellent and very affordable job of tailoring my pants. I'm a bigger guy with slim legs who prefers a tapered pant and it's basically impossible to find anything off the rack that fits right. She marked my pants within 5 minutes and finished tailoring all 5 pairs in less than a week for $10 each. Best clothing investment I've ever made. I will absolutely be returning and recommending Kim to friends! read more
