The layered prom dress for my granddaughter was ruined. It was not hemmed as directed and hem was various lengths. Since they were not able to complete till the afternoon prior, the dress was not put on till night of prom, sadly. I went back the next day with pictures. Before I could even explain, both Mike and his wife screamed at me, waved hands in air as to strike me, and ordered me not to return. I was in shock, as I approached in a calm manner asking what they could do as far as a fair reimbursement. I did not request any amount, but I did share that the dress could never be worn again. I had hoped for return of the service $150 I would encourage you to notice the quick temper of these owners prior to giving them your item to alter. Possibly simple hems, but they did not appear experienced to handle these new formals with multiple layers, or at least was not able to properly hem this one. So sad to see a beautiful dress, with a gorgeous young lady attend her first prom and feeling awkward about her crooked hemmed formal. Pictures show gown from formal shop with even hem. Other photo with red line shows hem dragging on ground on the back and left side. Right side is correct length, but back and left falls several inches below. Horrible! read more

Did not complete my alteration by the date he said it would be ready. Very inconvenient to come back twice to pick up my clothing. Also very expensive. read more

Nice guy. Great prices and timely service. He keeps it simple here and does good work. Thank you.

Mike is a very good master-tailor. You will pay a bit more, but it's definitely worth it!

I have taken several of my suits to be altered here. I needed them to be taken out a bit. I guess the suits shrunk. They did a great job. read more

I needed a new lining in an old comfortable leather jacket that I've had. I took it to Mike's and they did a fantastic job. I also had them put a new zipper in because the old one was marginal. Not only did they do a great job, but I had the coat back in a week. Unbelievable! I figured they'd have it for a month. Great service! I would recommend any tailoring you need done, be done by them. read more

The BEST. Amazing service and quality and I am so happy to have found Mike's tailor shop.

Have many suits in the closet, but most of them fit "large" like 10years ago. So bought a new suit, size smaller, and needed the pant legs hemmed. Went to Mike and before I knew it he ran up a $140 bill on me for tailoring! His price to hem the pants is $25 while most places I checked later were around $15. Bottom line, does good work, not that fast, but very expensive (and drives a Mercedes). read more

Been going here quite a bit lately and they always take good care of you. Once he was late with my tailored item, but it was no big deal. Great tailoring work. read more

When I picked up my new suit from Macy's I discovered that the tailor hadn't followed all my instructions- and she wasn't available to talk to. After asking around for a good independent tailor, I discovered that Mike's has a great reputation, and the shop is only a few miles from my home. The tailor I spoke with immediately understood what I needed, and had my suit ready in four days. The price was very reasonable, too. I'm taking all my suits and coats there from now on. read more

When Ali (the Birmingham Tailor) was written up in Lucky Magazine all of a sudden everyone knew who he was--- and wanted to go to him. Mike's is my store's go-to guy for tailoring. He knows how to deal with delicate fabrics, can do just as good as a job on the jean hems as Ali, and is super nice (not to say that Ali isn't)! His stand alone store is located at 14 and Woodward-- not far from downtown Birmingham! He is reasonably priced, ridiculously talented, and I trust him with my clothes (see: Douglas Cleaners yelp). read more

Props to my Yelp brothers and sisters for steering me to Mike's. I came there to get some suits altered. I was impressed not only with Mike's technique but with his demeanor. He is a very nice man. He speaks softly and treats customers kindly but still gets the necessary information across. This was a real relief after my recent experiences with tailors who are officious, derisive and dictatorial. He asked me how things felt instead of telling me that they were as they were. When I came to pick up one of the pants, I found that I wanted a little more room in the waist. Mike was very obliging (again, unlike other tailors who would insinuate that you were wrong to want that). He made an adjustment that was perfect. I will be coming here for my tailoring from now on. read more

Exceptional! Husband needed suit pants altered in a hurry. I was so happy to find a tailor nearby that was so accommodating and that did such great work. Next trip in I brought a sport jacket with sleeves to be shortened and received the same professional service. Highly recommend. read more

Great service. Mike and his wife are super nice. They do all of my alterations. Prom dresses, dress slacks, anything you need altered. I love them!!! read more

I took a dress that was not well-altered by another seamstress. Mike's employees saw that I was pretty frustrated with the whole situation and offered to expedite the work. Instead of getting the dress back the week after the Dream Cruise, I already have it back and it's 100% wedding-ready for my position as matron of honor in my brother's wedding. It's also very reasonable. Just be warned that they only take cash! read more

There is absolutely no one I trust more with my alterations. I've recommended Mike's Tailor Shop to many people who have all come away happy and with well fitting clothes. read more

Am always treated right here. When I've made the mistake of getting things adjust elsewhere, I've brought it here to fix. Great quality!

Expertly tailored 38" pants down to 34" in an emergency situation, which quite frankly is amazing. They're not cheap, but there's a reason for this: they're the experts and your clothes will look a million times better than other tailors. You can always rely on Mike to do the best job. read more

I recently had a bridesmaid's dress altered here. I wasn't sure where to go or what to expect as far as cost, since I haven't used any tailors in the area or had any alterations other than basic hems done in the past, so I turned to Yelp for ideas. My sister had similar alterations done on her dress in Lansing at Lett's bridal for $75, so when Mike quoted me $75 I felt like it was expensive but that it must be about average for that type of work. The dress had a sweetheart neckline and needed to be taken in on top. Instead of taking it in on the sides or back, he wanted to take it in in the middle, in the front of the dress. I thought this was kind of odd but trusted his expertise. He also hemmed the dress. The dress ended up fitting well; however, the sweetheart neckline was definitely distorted and looked noticeably different from the other girls' dresses (picture a heart, if you cut a strip out of the middle and then put it back together- the rounded parts of the heart shape would be closer together). I feel like he took it in in the middle because it would have been more work to take the sides in, but the design of the dress should have been considered. Besides, taking in side seams is not that big a deal for an experienced tailor. On the plus side, when the dress was shortened it made the sides stick out, and he took those in at no additional cost. Also, the service was good and they had the dress ready fairly quickly for me. I would consider returning for other alterations depending on what the price quote was. read more

I just moved to Ann Arbor and I have a suit that needs tailoring. I'm going back here to get it done. I'm very particular with the way my clothes fit. Mike makes sure you get the fit that you want. These are some of the things I had done with Mike... Denim/pants: hemmed, legs tapered, waist taken in/out, seat taken in/out Shirts: hem shortened, sleeves shortened, sides/sleeves taken in, darted Suits (jacket): waist taken in, sleeves shortened, length shortened Outerwear (lined wool overcoat): sides taken in, seam repaired Everything has been done to my liking and finished within a week. Sometimes I needed a quicker turn around time and he made it happen. I'm not sure if I'll ever be able to find another tailor I can trust. read more

Premium quality, total professional, wonderful service, accurate delivery dates, but prices to match. I'm a tall skinny guy and I have a really hard time finding clothes that fit right. I have used Mike's on three separate occasions and have always been pleased with the results. The first was to take in a (fat guy sized) pea coat that I got on clearance at Banana Republic. He made it look great and the price was around 70 bucks. That got me a stylish high quality tailored wool coat for around 160. Score. The last was a Thrift Store tuxedo for a costume that needed to be taken in and have the sleeves let out. That was a bit more. Like 90 bucks. Waaaay more than I paid for the jacket. Way more. So, I'm a little wary of his prices, but his quality is high and I suppose you get what you pay for. He repaired the sleeve on my 60s biker jacket, a rip in the armpit from front to back. I forget the cost but remember it was a little steep. Still, great work. He will try to talk you out of things if they're oddball, like with the tux I wanted the sleeves mid-palm (it was supposed to be kinda tim burton-ish). Of course, if it were a real tux the sleeves would be shorter, so he had my best interest in mind. Just saying. He thought I was out of my mind. read more

I went to a few other tailor shops in the area, but none are as good as Mike's. My first experience was having my pea coat taken in on the sides, shoulders, and sleeves. It was a fairly complex deal and I had expected to pay quite a bit, but Mike finished it in a couple of days, the fit was perfect, and he charged me an extremely fair price considering the extremely high quality of work. (It seemed like the coat was brand new- just smaller!) Since then, I've taken everything I needed altered to him, including pants, leather jackets, and even shirts. He provides fast service, great hours, and a nice professionalism. My best experience with Mike was a few Saturdays ago. I had recently moved to Chicago, and was back in town for some business. I didn't realize that my pants were torn (in the crotch) so I took them to the shop and within a few hours, Mike had them ready for me knowing that I needed them- same low price, even with the rushed schedule. I'm so loyal to this place that I drive all the way back to Chicago just to have him alter clothes. read more

Mike's service is unbelievable good I needed three pants hemmed for an event right after the holiday weekend and mike and his wife stayed after hours to make sure that I would have my pants before the long weekend. Great service! read more

Mike's Tailor Shop is a place where you can take an expensive piece of clothing and TRUST the alteration is going to be done perfectly. I had an uber tight deadline. I called and talked to the person on the phone and explained how my wedding shower was the following day and how I needed the straps altered so I could wear the dress to the shower. I was nervous going to this place as I am new to this side of town, but after reading the reviews on yelp, I gave it a try. The people who run this store are professional and very good at what they do. My alterations were perfect and I looked amazing at my shower because of them. I will be using them going forward. They have my full recommendation. I am not an easy person to please and there is no question about them, they are awesome! read more

I wish I could give this place more than 5 stars. Mike is an absolute perfectionist, and I will forever take my business here. He tailored a 3 piece suit for me in less than a week, and it fit better than I could have ever imagined. In my experiences there, I dealt with his wife (who was a total gem), and his son (who was very kind). I have already begun to send my friends there, and will continue to recommend Mike's services to anyone who will listen. To Mike and his family, thank you so much, and I'll see you for my wedding suits soon. read more

Fantastic job to Mike's Tailor Shop for the recent alterations I had done on two pairs of jeans. I'd never had anything altered before so of course had no clue where to go. I turned to Yelp for some recommendations. I'm so glad I did! Customer Service was excellent, was promised they'd be done in a week...they were! Friendly...they are! Seem to care about the Customer and their requests...definitely! What stands out to me, in addition to those mentioned above, is...I didn't realize at the time of pick up that they don't take debit or credit cards, (only cash or check). I wasn't prepared to pay either way except for debit. After he informed me that he didn't take credit or debit, I said I hoped I had enough cash. He said if not to not worry and just mail him a check and he'd trust me to do that. WOW! How many places let you, much less TRUST you to do that? I was happy to find I had the right amount of cash after all so could pay him on the spot. But I do appreciate his trust in me. THAT is Customer service!! Would I go to Mike's again if ever I need alterations done? YES, no doubt about it. Thanks for your great service, keep up the good work, I will for sure be recommending you to anyone I hear of that is looking for a great tailor. read more

I have been to a few tailors in my day but it wasn't until I stopped into Mikes I knew I found my tailor. Mike and his family to an excellent job. They are friendly, courteous, and take a lot of pride in their work. I found Mike back in '02 when i needed some quick "adjustments...." and he was able to get them done over night. When I picked up the pants the next day there was no extra charge and they fit great. At that point I found my man. I highly recommend Mike to anyone needing a tailor for any men or women's alterations. Keep up the good work Mike!! read more

These guys are truly as good as everyone else has said. There craftsman, super highly skilled and can fix everything from a mundane pants cuffs, that needs to be shortened, to a leather jacket that needs all of the lining replaced. We've had both of these done and the work has been extraordinary. read more

Mike is a consummate professional. He and his son are gentlemen and superb tailors. I've used his services for years and have never been disappointed. read more

Experts at what they do. Very reasonable prices family owned business in Royal Oak. It's a tiny shop inside and parking can be tricky.

A truly embarrassing experience. Not all body types are created equal. Instead of repeatedly telling someone their dress doesn't fit them and commenting on their "arm rolls" maybe you should try and offer some solutions. I was willing to be a paying customer, but ended up crying in the dressing room and leaving. read more

When I need something tailored I go to Mike. He's fast, he's courteous and he does a great job. He hemmed a bridesmaid dress I had to wear and mine was the only one that didn't come undone by the end of the night. read more

The tailor is a sweet man who does great work. I had a formal dress hemmed and a somewhat complicated straps shortened for $50. He did a phenomenal job. read more

People like me because I am rarely late and because I'm known to wear a nice pair of slacks. Most of that credit goes to Mike and staff at Mike's Tailor Shop on Woodward. They tailor more than slacks. I've had them tailor jackets, and jeans. I assume they tailor other things like shirts, and women's clothing. There are likely other comprehensive lists of tailorable items I'm not aware of. This is a pretty wild thing. So if you have ill-fitting clothes, come see Mike. His prices are solid and the work is more solider. read more

My hubs brings his jeans here to get them hemmed with the true cuff. It is a bit $$ (like $25), but they look flawless. So I brought in my 7FAMK jeans and a coat. The coat had those metal floppy buttons that would NOT stay on for the life of me. I was walking around like Paddington Bear. No joke. I already had them taken to 1 tailor & reinforced, but they kept falling off. I went to pick up my jeans & coat from Mike's, and I called at 6:45 pm to find out they closed at 7 pm. I couldn't make it by then, so I told them I'd be in the next day. The lady told me they would stay open for me to pick up my things! And to "not hurry, drive careful!" Can you believe that? What customer service! And my jeans & coat look flawless! So send your friends, family, and bad arse self here, because not only is their work impeccable, their customer service is the best in the area. read more

Nothing fancy, just plain old good service!

Where to begin, terrible customer service, called to let him know I was referred over by a local cleaner to which he seemed annoyed that I didn't just bark out what I needed done. Asked if I could potentially get a quote on a simple zipper fix on a parka, then asked me what it was for... again a zipper for a parka. He then proceeded to tell me it could be $30, 40, 50 maybe even more, again we're talking about a zipper on a coat. I asked how the price could get so drastic to which he told me he basically deems if a job will be lucrative or not. So, if you have a quick fix the price will be inflated because "it's not worth his time to work for $40" in his words. Just avoid unless you have money to throw away. I recommend Camelot Cleaners in Berkley, always done cleanings and alterations for me and my family for over 20 years while being fair with prices and not rude. Would leave zero stars if I could. read more

So thrilled. Rush job on two jackets- his work was of the highest quality, can't even tell alterations were done on a fairly tricky job. You get what you pay for, that's for sure. Would highly recommend. read more

I walked in today with an immediate need. They were very accommodating and resolved my issue in under 5 minutes. Very professional, reasonable price and excellent service. Please patronize this local business. It is deserved. read more
