I have taken clothes to MH Tailoring a dozen times. The…read moreritual is the same every time: you try the piece, the master kneels down and pins where he knows the work must be done, and the master lady (his wife) takes notes to calculate the cost. He barely speaks English, but he is kind and sweet and wise. Not even once he missed a spot, suggested a wrong idea, showed off or felt pretentious. For me, he is a master of the craft. I've been around, I have known many tailors, and this man is one of my very favorites. He finishes pinning, and he leaves gracefully, leaving the wonder woman to finish the accounting. There is always a SRP. She always asks for when do you need the work. They have A LOT of work, and they have a back room where many people work. If you are in a hurry, they deliver, at an added percentage. If you pay cash, "Cash is King" (her own poetic words), you get a better price. Every time they delivered the work in time. You can try the fixed pieces, and he makes sure you feel great and happy. Every time, I felt cared for and respected, almost pampered. There is the son, too. Maybe more than one working at the back. The son I know is fun, respectful and kind. Every other team member who I knew were always efficient and nice to deal with. I'm almost hoping to have another clothing item to bring to them to work their magic. I highly recommend this experience. It's, hands down, one of my favorites in LA.

I was able to find MH Tailoring & Alterations after researching reviews while searching for someone…read moreI could truly trust with my wedding dress alterations. I ordered my dress from Etsy, and it was shipped from Poland. While it already had great bones and was exactly the style I envisioned for my wedding day, it was not fitted in the way I needed -- especially the corset, which I wanted to feel structured, secure, and perfectly tailored with no looseness. I was working with a very tight budget, but I also knew that if the dress was not altered properly, it simply would not feel right for such an important day. My husband and I had an intimate 25-person wedding celebration following our NYC City Clerk ceremony, and I wanted to feel beautiful, comfortable, and confident. MH Tailoring & Alterations absolutely delivered. During my first appointment, they carefully took measurements and understood exactly what I wanted. About three weeks later, I returned for my second fitting, they made a few final touch-ups, and I walked out with my perfect wedding dress. You can truly tell they are experts in their craft. The fit completely transformed the dress and made me feel incredible on my wedding day. I'm so grateful to now have an establishment I can trust for both the big and small moments in life. Thank you again for your care, talent, and professionalism. Photographer: @lensofher

I worked with this dry cleaner for years and spent thousands upon thousands of dollars with them,…read moreso I am extremely disappointed to have to write this. Their seamstress permanently damaged two of my designer dresses during alterations. I was very clear, multiple times, about where I wanted the alterations made. Instead, she chose to alter them in different places, cut into the dresses, and sewed them into new spots that I did not approve. The result was not what I asked for, and the damage is not realistically repairable back to the original condition. At first, they acknowledged the issue and told me they would compensate me for the damage. Now, they have completely gone back on that and are ignoring me. After years of being a loyal customer and giving them a significant amount of business, it feels like they were only happy to communicate when I was paying them. They are also one of the most expensive dry cleaners I have ever used, which makes this even more frustrating. For the prices they charge, I would expect professionalism, accountability, and basic care with valuable garments- not unauthorized alterations, permanent damage, and then being ghosted when it comes time to make it right. I would strongly caution anyone from trusting them with anything valuable, sentimental, designer, vintage, or difficult to replace. I regret giving them my business for as long as I did.

5 Stars - Lifesaver Before the Emmys!…read more I came to LA for the Emmys and the night before my flight, I tried on my dress--only to realize it was way too big. I had lost a bit of weight and the fit was completely off. The dress looked boxy and frumpy, and I honestly started to panic. Thankfully, I found Lina--the amazing owner of Alterations Et Al in West Hollywood. I reached out and she invited me to bring the dress in to see what could be done. She was so warm, kind, and professional--and even with the tight turnaround, she agreed to take on the rush job. The dress needed a lot of work, but when I picked it up, it fit like a glove. It looked flawless and felt like it had been custom-made for me. Lina is not only incredibly talented, but also fast, detail-oriented, and just lovely to work with. So many people told me I looked beautiful that night--and a few even said I was one of the best dressed. That's 100% thanks to Lina's amazing work. She truly saved the day, and I'll be forever grateful. (Sharing a few pics here so you can see her magic!)

FYI as of 6/30/2023, Lina's new address is: 8961 Sunset Blvd…read more Lina is incredible! So much attention to detail and knows how to creatively solve any sort of fashion emergency! Usually I am in no rush for alterations from Lina but I had an emergency red carpet event that I needed a dress tailored in 1 week and Lina came through! I felt beautiful and comfortable, all thanks to Lina's magic touch. Although I moved across town, I still drive to West Hollywood because I don't allow anyone else to touch my clothes other than Lina. Great prices and great quality of work!

We are so grateful we found Marina's Alterations! After a few disappointing experiences elsewhere-…read morefrom uneven hems to ridiculously overpriced alterations - finding Marina was such a relief. We originally found her on Google, and she's only a mile or two from our house. Marina is elegant, warm, friendly, and very reasonably priced.

She takes her time with each client, and you can tell she's genuinely loved and respected by the community. Can't say enough great things about her. Highly recommend!

I took my bridesmaid dress here about a month before the wedding. Tried it on, pinned me up, and…read moresaid it would be done in a week (the following Monday). On Monday I started calling to see if they could ship my dress to me (I had last minute travel to Arizona). Every time I called they asked for my name and number and said they would call me back to let me know. I called almost every day that week after my dress was supposed to be ready until finally I decided to send my friend over to just pick it up for me and ship it himself. When he arrived, he was told the dress was not ready. He said they had a question for me before he could start. Mind you, I had called every day- giving them my information, and nobody had any questions for me, and nobody told me my dress hadn't been started. And nobody tried to call me to ask questions. They were waiting for me to show up to pick the dress up to tell me they hadn't started. Unbelievable! At this point, it's about 1 week before the wedding. The owner apologized to me and said they would have it done by Sunday (this was Friday night) and would ship it to me overnight so I would have it by Tuesday for the wedding on Friday. It was shipped a day later than that, so I didn't receive the dress until Thursday! I had to wait in AZ (extending my trip) until it came and missed the rehearsal dinner & welcome party. You guys, this dress was SO simple. It ended up being tight on my body and loose on top so my boobs were a problem the entire time. I've never had an experience like this where something that is normally so easy and simple became an absolute nightmare. Bill ended up being $130. $75 for dress +shipping

I've gone to this tailor multiple times because the location is convenient. He does overcharge, but…read morein the past the work was at least acceptable--so I kept going. That changed with my most recent suit. The alterations were objectively bad. The jacket was visibly lopsided: one sleeve was about an inch longer than the other, one side of the jacket hadn't been taken in at all, and the pants were tapered far too tight. To make matters worse, the elbow seam hadn't even been sewn properly. I had already paid, so when I pointed all this out, I was told to bring the suit back and they'd "take care of it." Fine. Mistakes happen--what matters is how they're handled. When I picked up the suit after the supposed fixes, I was charged again for correcting their own mistakes. That's the real issue here. They do not stand behind their work. If the outcome is wrong, the responsibility is pushed back onto the customer. That's poor craftsmanship paired with poor ethics. You don't pay for an attempt--you pay for a finished result. If a tailor won't honor the quality of their own work, that's a red flag. I'd strongly recommend finding another tailor, and explicitly asking upfront whether they stand behind their alterations. These guys do not.

Don't get fooled by the one star reviews here. Many of them are old anyway. Angel is the best…read moretailor in town. I have been going to him for years. He worked on many expensive pieces I have, suits, blazers, pants, jackets, you name it, and in a variety of fabrics including leather and Suede. He was able to do alterations that other tailors I used to go before Angel said can't be done. If you are just looking of finding the cheapest alteration, then just go to a cleaners tailor. At this place, you get what you pay for and that is impeccable work. I highly recommend Angel. Don't listen to what is being said from years ago and don't be fooled at how the place looks. Give them a shot. I highly recommend them.
