They have a pair of 3-4 inch heels to give you an idea of how much you need removed, but you should bring your own shoes if you have them ready. Needed about 3 inches off the bottom since it was too long and costed $50. A little higher than what I expected but the results are great, very clean stitching, can barely tell it was altered in the first place. It was ready in a couple of weeks. Thank you!

(Also you do not need to bring the hangers with them, they end up giving you some sturdy ones at pick up) After a bunch of research this was the closest I could find that I felt was right and sometimes you gotta trust your gut. I took my suit and blazer in for a clean on a Tuesday and was quoted to come back on Friday. Luckily I didn't need it right away but that should give y'all an idea of how long it could take. The kind man helped me and made it seamless and easy. Picked up my stuff Friday afternoon and it was a lady this time who was soft spoken and also helped me with my questions such as alternations as I need to do that at a later time. Overall I'd come back again and hopefully get my suit altered too to see how their quality is

If you are an East Bay resident and need alterations performed, please read the rest of this review before scheduling an appointment with this establishment. I've been going to Eileen since December 2024. Online reviews looked good, and her shop was near my house, which made it convenient for me. I encountered an odd issue with her during my first visit. She had informed me my pants were ready for pickup, and I specified the day/time I would be coming in. When I went to her shop for pickup, I called, and she informed me she had gone to deliver an order for someone else because she didn't think I would appear on time. I was completely baffled as to why she reached this conclusion and why she admitted it verbally. Between September and October 2025, I had requested that she perform alterations on some pants. On this occasion I was charged the day I left the articles with her and was assured they'd be ready on the date she had specified. Prior to picking them up, I called Eileen and informed her I was on my way. When she answered, she told me my pants were not ready and that she hadn't even started working on them. I was quite upset over this since more than a week had passed since I'd left the pants with her. About a month later, I brought in a blazer she had worked on previously and asked her to reattach the buttons, as some of them had come loose. Although she did not charge me for this, she assured me the blazer would be ready on time. She failed to have the blazer ready on time when I went to her shop. I went to go run some errands for about an hour, and when I came back, she had finished working on my blazer. This indicated that she did not need more than a week to work on my blazer and had procrastinated or otherwise failed to make good use of her time. What frustrated me, however, was the condition in which she returned my blazer. It was covered in lint/hair/debris and had a strange odor to it. I had dry-cleaned it prior to leaving it with Eileen, and her utter lack of regard for keeping it clean really upset me. Most recently, during December 2025, I requested an appointment two days in advance. I wanted her to hem some pants I needed for work. She had agreed to meet me at 11 am on a Wednesday. On the day of the appointment, I called her to let her know I had arrived. When she answered, she told me she had mistakenly marked my appointment for a different time/day and had left to attend to another client.

I would think she's the professional and I've noticed that more recently she will say she doesn't know in a tone that she doesn't even care and told me to tell her what I want and she will do it. Her service has become pretty rude. I am looking for another tailor shop.

First few visits, I'd bring something in looking for changes and he'd just tell me it looks fine. I was new to wearing nicer suits so wasn't sure what the fit should be like. No pressure, I was the one searching for things to alter. That told me everything I needed to know about him and left a great first impression. He did two suits during a really busy season, no issues. Then recently turned around a suit and a dress shirt in two days when he had a full week to do it. Even the initial week timeline was short, considering my alteration requests. Everything comes back steamed and neatly packaged. He gives honest advice, takes measurements, and doesn't charge you for every little thing like some places do. The details really make the outfit, minor adjustments across all my nicer clothing really brought everything together. I'm grateful I found this spot, it's fair and great value. Exactly what you'd want from your tailor.

Really unprofessional behavior…read more 1) took off her mask and breathed all over me, didn't even ask if I was ok with it 2) did not know to to subtly hem my dress 3) told me it was impossible even though the store I bought it from (BHLDN) said that it was 4) acted patronizing when I showed her pictures of other hem jobs ("sweetie, there's no way that this was hemmed") Long: I got a wedding dress from BHLDN. Usually these dresses are made long to accomodate different heights, and BHLDN assured me that it could be shortened subtly for my height. When I took my dress to Haydee she said this was impossible and made me feel stupid for even bringing it up. It's a popular dress, so showed her pictures of the same dress in the same size being modified to fit someone shorter than me. She claimed that it must have never been hemmed and that I was being tricked. Haydee almost convinced me (saying there wasn't enough time before my wedding and that I should book her NOW) but my mom insisted on taking me to get another opinion. We called the BHLDN store and they again told me that it was designed to be hemmed (as all their dresses are). They recommended me someone else, who showed me how there are these flaps that are built into the bottom of the skirt so that when you do the hem job, they can hide the sewing. They said this was really common for wedding dresses. I thought this information could be useful for Haydee in her future work and to let her know I was going with some else (which I know can be awkward but I figured was better than ghosting her), so I texted to let her know these things, but she turned pretty rude - see attached screenshot. As a pretty important aside, she also took off her mask and breathed all over me during my appointment with her. When I prodded her about it, she said it was just too uncomfortable. Great, I hope I didn't catch Covid her...
