The "hemming" I received. DO NOT GO HERE!
Amy T.

Usually I'm a huge supporter of mom and pop shops, but I cannot give my stamp of approval for this place even if I tried. I brought in a wedding guest dress to be hemmed. They quoted me 2 days for the alteration which is standard. When I picked up my dress, I noticed that the edges were raggedy and uneven. It looked as if the seamstress took a pair of scissors to it and cut it. I asked for it to be hemmed and was not informed the dress material could not be hemmed when I dropped it off. The inner layer was untouched. When I brought the dress back, the gentleman confirmed that the edges were not fact straight, took a ruler to the dress and said the dress lies in a circle and could not get straight lines. This was completely unprofessional as he was putting the blame to me for their shoddy work and did not take ownership. I could have took a pair of sharp scissors and cut it myself. I trusted the "professionals" for a service and they did not deliver. My $500 evening gown is ruined. Their lack of craftsmanship and customer service deserves zero stars for me and I certainly won't be returning. Take care of your clothes. There are other trusted alterations in the area.

Three of our gowns altered in length by Huong.

Huong has been my go to seamstress for at least 20 years. This review is long overdue. If you're looking for a bourgeois fancy storefront, you won't find that here. Huong works out of her home partially made into a little shop- on a busy street facing King Rd. Huong has altered jeans, pants, and dresses for myself and my family. This is a family run business, and they hustle. Huong gets the job done and works around time you need it by. I completely trust her with altering any items of clothing. Most recently celebrated my daughter's 18th bday cotillion--needed all 8 girls in her court dresses altered, my own formal gown along with my daughter's gown. She took care of all of it. Pricing is reasonable- she charges up to half or what you'll pay elsewhere. You'll often see Huong's husband working as well- both are helpful and kind. I recall a time when I hadn't picked up an item timely and they called me when they would be going out of town to ensure I was able to pick it up. Not sure if other businesses would do that. Huong will always be our go to seamstress! Grateful for the work they do!! Thank you

They're super professional and skillful. I went for prom dress alterations since it's too long. The lady gave professional suggestions and the lower part of the dress turned out perfect :) Totally recommend ~ On the left is the original one I bought on the right it's the result :)

See all

Ask the Community - One Hour Alterations

Can you sew on patches on a karate gi? One patch goes on the jacket and the other one on the tie on belt.?

I'm pretty sure Hoang can do this. Best bet would be to take it in to show her yourself-- sewing patches seems like it's right up her alley.

Are they able to fix tears in jeans?

Probably.

I was referred to Holiday Cleaners by my friend Jackie, and I'm so glad I followed her…read morerecommendation -- I've been a loyal customer ever since. It's a family‑owned business, and no matter what time of day I stop by, Irene always greets me with a warm smile and a kind "How's your day going?" On some days, I'll also see her son David, the owner, working on customer orders. He's just as friendly and welcoming as his mom. They've taken excellent care of everything I've brought in: clergy vestments, Filipiniana and barong attire, Ao Dais, wool jackets, and other clothing. The turnaround is quick, and everything comes back beautifully pressed. I've also had alterations, hems, and even custom zipper work on bags done -- all completed to my standards. I haven't needed to bring in blankets or leather or suede jackets yet, but for nearly all my clothing needs, they're my go‑to. The text notification when my order is ready is an added bonus that I really appreciate. Thank you for consistently wonderful service and competitive pricing!

I cannot recommend this dry cleaner enough. I took my mom's engagement dress from 35 years ago to…read morethem. It had a large coffee or tea stain and multiple others said it would be impossible to remove fully. David and his team worked on it for days and tried three different times to remove the stain, while keeping communication with me, making sure I understood the risks of further treatment, and sending progress photos. At the end of their efforts, the garment is completely clean and I am able to wear it to my engagement. I am so happy and grateful to them!

NextGen absolutely saved me!! I am attending a wedding this weekend and after some dead ends ended…read moreup getting a last minute dress this week and needed urgent hemming. I reached out via Yelp Connect and NextGen was the only place able to accommodate my request in time! Very professional, kind team who got me my dress back before the estimated timeframe.

I wish I could find the photos I'd taken back when my partner picked up our faux feather bed…read more(earlier this year) from NextGen, but alas, they're nowhere to be found. What I'd like to point out first, is that the super kind human who took our order was absolutely that: super kind. My partner and I felt good about our research and choice of NextGen, and the wire rack piled to the top with comforters, mattress pads and other bedding only furthered our confidence. Sadly, once we removed the bed from the bag, I felt confused that perhaps the wrong item had been picked up. It looked nearly identical to when we'd first brought it to NextGen, but with quite a few more strands of (different lengths) of hair stuck to it throughout. Secondly, almost every quilted square of the bed had faux filling bunched up in a variety of balls--I had originally purchased the square patterned bed to avoid this problem once cleaned. :( I wanted to bring my item back immediately, however, my health at the time did not allow it. I gave two stars for the kind atmosphere. P.s. I am attaching a very faded receipt, with the word, "wait" written at the top, because I felt it so important to write a review. Especially if it helps future costly mishaps occur.
