    She put 1 black and 1 brown button with a white streak on it. Total joke!
    Armande M.

    Truly awful experience here. I dropped off a suit jacket to have 2 buttons replaced. This was at around Noon. I told her I could return the following day at the same time and she said okay, it'll be ready, since that process only takes about 10 minutes. I came by at Noon the following after leaving work and when I came in she scrambled over to my jacket which still wasn't fixed. She then started to fumble around with a box of buttons and starting to attempt to fix the jacket right then. I was in a rush and expecting it to already be done, we had already discussed that it would be. I told her I would just return on another day. I was too busy to come by the shop again for about a week or so. I received no phone call informing me of the status of my jacket but I assumed it SHOULD be done after a week. I just picked up my jacket today and I'm floored. One button is distinctly brown and the other is jet black. This suit jacket is unwearable. I was initially shocked but bite my tongue on chewing this "seamstress" out until after I left. She was kind enough not to charge me for her incredible work. But once I left I called the shop to tell her how disappointed I was and she offered to "fix it for me" and lamented that she didn't have 2 same color buttons. Sheesh, she could have called and told me that a week ago! Instead of putting 2 different color buttons on my jacket! What a HUGE waste of time. The woman I dealt with seemed "nice" enough but this was an absolutely horrible display of incompetence and I strongly advise against using this establishment. What a joke!

    Dress after it was altered (straps and length)

    Lily is such a nice person, and her work is incredible. As a guy who ruins a lot of clothes, she puts them back together like new :)

    Not sure what all the negative reviews are about. I've been patronizing this business for four…read moreyears now, and am highly pleased with their work. It's a dry cleaner, not the Marriot. I come here because they clean my vintage clothes, wool jackets, and men's suits flawlessly. I took a faux fur jacket to a different cleaner in the past, and they burned it; I had to give up that jacket and was so disappointed. I brought another faux fur item here with trepidation. Not only was it thoroughly cleaned, it was beautifully brushed into the correct shape. I was amazed!! They clean my vintage wool items with great care. I will always bring my dry cleaning here as long as I live in San Diego County, and they may cost a little more, but I am definitely getting what I'm paying for. And if you want someone to pat you on the head and tell you how nice you are, go to a therapist, not a dry cleaner. Come here if you want a good job on your special garments!

    After years of receiving an attitude by the staff I am officially done. Every single time I've gone…read morein to use their services I have been met with a curt and dismissive attitude. I don't understand what the issue is, and I don't care anymore. Today I told the employee (older woman with brown hair), exactly what I just said. Every time I come in here (or call to see if someone's there) I feel like I'm an imposition. Now, she did act sort of surprised, but I find it hard to believe that she's been complimented on her "sunny disposition." I'm taking my business elsewhere.
