I can't recommend NK studio enough. Nena's attention to detail is absolutely unmatched--every stitch and every adjustment is done with incredible precision. She has a true eye for style and knows exactly how to make each piece fit perfectly. She's not only amazing at tailoring blazers, pants, and jeans with flawless precision, but she also completely reworked a dress for me for a party--and it fit like it was made just for me. The transformation was incredible. If you're looking for someone who combines skill, style, and genuine care for her clients, she is simply the best. read more

I am extremely disappointed with my experience at NK Studios and with Nena. In less than a week, I spent over $500 on alterations because I wanted to support a local business. Unfortunately, one of my dresses was altered incorrectly not once, but twice. The shoulders were fixed the wrong way the first time, and after it was "corrected," the hem was returned with loose threads, unraveling, and visible damage that was not there when I brought it in. The dress was falling apart where she hemmed it. I noticed the damage as soon as I got to my car, so I immediately walked back into the store. Instead of apologizing or offering to make it right, Nena insisted that the dress had been brought in that way and refused to take responsibility. The conversation quickly became hostile. She threatened to rip the dress if I didn't stop talking, and she made offensive comments about Greek people that I found completely unacceptable. What upset me the most wasn't just the damaged dress--it was the way I was treated as a customer. Mistakes can happen, but professionalism is shown by taking responsibility and trying to fix them. Instead, I was met with blame, hostility, and disrespect. I genuinely wanted to support this business. I expected quality workmanship and courteous customer service in return. Unfortunately, I received neither. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend NK Studios. Note: this dress is not suppose have a fringe. She ruined the dress. Completely inexperienced, despite her claims. Believe the bad reviews. No loyalty either I was going to her for over 2 years. All she had to say is oh sorry let me fix it. Instead she attacked me. Notice how miserable and depressed she always seems? It's cause she's terrible at her job. And she knows it. Tries to take as much money as she can. read more

Nena does absolutely beautiful and excellent work. She totally helped me redesign my Jenny Packham formal beaded dress for my son's wedding. It fit perfectly and work was flawless. It's not easy to find someone you can trust with all alterations. I have been going to Nena for over 10 years. From hemming my trousers to custom tailoring all my clothes. I highly recommend her.

I have been a happy customer at Nena's store over a decade now. The attention to detail is exceptional, it fits perfectly great almost every time. Once a while, it does require additional adjustments and I'm always pleased by her professionalism. I had two dresses altered last month. Both required intensive labor work. (altering size 6 to size 2 evening gown) I'm impressed with the results. Each one fits me beautifully now. Turnaround times are reasonable, and the quality is always worth it. I highly recommend this store and will definitely return soon. Vicki O. read more

her customer service and behavior towards her customers! she is rude and nasty ! reliabilty .. our drrzses were not ready with only 3 days left before our affair . dont use this business its too risky read more

I highly do not recommend for alterations. I went to have alterations on a gown and had a terrible experience. The first time I went the alterations were not done well. The second time I went the owner Nena helped me and I explained what was wrong. She said she would fix it and since I was highly overcharged there would be no charge. She asked if I could come back in 2 weeks( which seemed like a long time).I went back and it was still wrong. I was so upset. I took the gown to our wonderful cleaners Tres Bon Dry Cleaners 1085 Willis Avenue Albertson, NY, and Vicki who is a wonderful tailor fixed it for me at a fraction of the price. read more

Never in my life have I been spoken to the way the owner of this place spoke to me. I went to pick up my items five days after my scheduled pick up date and 2 out of 4 items were not complete. I told her I would come back the next day to pick them up. After inspecting the items the owner said she does not want me to come back because I'm too demanding. I didn't realize demanding meant having the items completed at time of pick up. I didn't argue with her, I didn't say a word even though the stitching was very sloppy. If you would like your mood and items ruined then this is your place. I'm completely shocked! Would give it zero stars if I could. I should've read the reviews prior to going to her. read more

5 STARS GIVEN BUT ONLY 4 showed up- I would give 10 if that was an option! ********** I fell in love with a dress for my daughters wedding but it had many fit challenges and I really wasn't sure if it could be altered because of them. I was referred to NK Studio by the associate at L&T in Garden City who helped me. I brought the dress in to make sure that all the fit issues could be addressed otherwise it would have to be returned. Nena assured me that she could make everything fit perfectly...and she did! I could not be happier with the results- Nena is a gifted dressmaker and I am lucky to have met her. read more

I've gotten a shirt, jacket and dress altered here. They did an excellent job! Also, everything was finished very quickly, and the prices are great. This was a great find and I am definitely going back! read more

Well we walked in with arms filled with fine men's sport jackets and pants! We we were not greeted and when we said HELLO the response was ....wait a minute! She appeared and told us there was a long wait of 2 1/2 weeks because she is very busy... And I told her we could come back in a couple of weeks and she told me it will be the same situation. So basically she told us she was not interested in our business! And we will NEVER GO BACK! Poor business skills and she basically told us to go take a hike! I will tell all my friends not to go to her tailoring sto read more

I have patronized this place several times in the last year. Each time the service and the quality of the work was exceptional. The owner/seamstress is very knowledgeable and truly took her time to understand what I wanted done. I am definitely going back! read more

I went in with a silk Tucker dress that I wanted shortened and hemmed. When I asked her how they would do the "work", in terms of cutting the silk and hemming (by hand or machine fie example). She said defensively we don't tell people how we do our work and "I don't have time to teach you." I said I wasn't looking for an education I just wanted understand how they were going to treat the material and hem the dress and she said "we don't have time for that". I had the impression that she thought I was challenging her and that was coming from her perception of why I was asking the question. I realized quickly that I didn't have the energy, nor did I want to spend the time to try to turn the conversation around for her to understand where I was actually coming from so I just simply left. I just moved to Stamford from New York City and I've had many things altered there and I'm used to the tailor actually asking how would you like the hem for example, couldn't understand how she was interpreting me and and why it was not OK for me to ask questions. So confusing. read more

I called on Friday for an appointment with Nena, she was very firm that I come in on Monday at 1:30 because she was leaving for NYC at 3:00. I respected her schedule and came in at 1:20, however, the girl she has working there said she just left for the City. We called her on her cell and she said- she was stuck in traffic and didn't know when she will be back, hmm something doesn't add up. Ok so I take a deep breathe and decide I will have the other woman help me with my alterations. I tried on the first pair of pants to be altered and hemmed, 3 times she pinned the hems so they were dragging on the floor, and only repined the back and one side, not the entire hem. Nope she didn't measure a thing. Looks like from the reviews this place is hit or miss. Good Luck if you go, read more

Nena is a true professional. It's hard to find a seamstress who does quality work. She can get busy, but that's what happens when you are so good. I try to make appointments whenever I can so that I don't show up last minute. Whenever I make appointments, everything is done on time to perfection. I'd definitely recommend her read more

Better off going to a tailor that wants your business. I have been asking around for a price quote, which many places have been able to provide me with after I've given them the name /style number of the dress and told them exactly what needed to be done. She laughed at me and said she couldn't tell me anything without seeing the dress. I'm not asking for the exact cost, just an estimate! She ended up hanging up on me mid sentence. Horrible customer service and you won't find me stepping foot in her establishment. read more

I called last minute to get my daughter's prom dress altered and she took us right away and will have the dress ready in time. I would recommend her to anyone. The shop is pretty too!! read more

I have gone to Nena at NK Studio for years and usually she has done excellent work and I liked her! There have been a couple of times, however, when her work was either not what we discussed or done taken short cuts ( I wonder if maybe her assistant did the work those times). I never said anything (it was too late to fix). Her prices used to be reasonable, but they are now high priced. I have made appointments for fittings and she has forgotten. The final straw, was when I had an appointment (day and time) for me to pick up a garment and I made a special trip to the shop. Nena knew I did not need the garment for a while, and told me it was not ready. I suggested that she could have called me to let me know and I would have been happy to accommodate and reschedule. Instead, she started screaming and yelling that she would not make the alterations. I will never return to her studio and she can keep the garment. Keep away. read more
