I am extremely disappointed in our treatment, the lack of professionalism and the constant…read moredismissive behavior that we were rendered on Saturday May 2, 2026. An experience that was supposed to be memorable, ruined by an employee who was more concerned with upselling a used tux than helping my son find something for his first prom. The lady that was there was kind and welcoming. Unfortunately we were helped by an older man who had locks and glasses. Never did extend his name. (Edit looking at other reviews his name may be Dew or Drew) When we first got there it was super busy. This is understandable considering the size of the store and only two employees on the floor. My family and I patiently waited for 15 minutes to let the man know why we were they, in which he says we are late prom people and we should have gotten a look together weeks in advance and that the rental requires 30 days in advance and they would not be able to receive it. We were told we would have to find something in the store , he points to a rack against the wall. I was under the impression that these were rental tux's. He never took time to explain any of it. After being there for another 45 minutes of waiting to get help because he kept saying he would be with us but then taking people who came in after us, we finally got to the point where he talked to me and told my son to try on the tux we found. It was perfect. Looking at it, it didn't need anything done. Mind you I'm thinking this is a rental because there is not a price on it, the size tags are ripped off and you can visually look and see it's been worn, not to mention the bow tie in the pocket. When my son comes out of the dressing room, he ignores my kid and has small talk with a lady who came in with her kid. When he decides he is finished with the conversation, he looks at my son, and says ohhh you found something. It's $450. I said this is not a new suit and where do you see $450 because there are no tags on this and the size patch was cut out, this tux is worn. I said I thought this was a rental? He then says well the rentals are basic, I can go get you a catalog and walks off again. I am highly upset and I wanted his first experience to be special. It was not. Trying to support a black owned business and got treated like a peasant in the process. The funny thing is, if he knew who I was and what I did for a living, I guarantee he would not have done all of that. Treat people right! You never know who could be a blessing to you. I really do hope the owner reaches out to me. I would love to have a conversation. I have attached pics of the "basic tux" we wanted and the timeframe on the website that we would have indeed gotten the tux on time. Update: I wanted to reach out to them on their business page on Instagram to let the owner know about the interaction. I will include photos. I was blocked from their page after sending the message.

Sadly, I cannot recommend this business. We were excited to support a Black-owned establishment,…read morebut unfortunately, their commitment to genuine customer service is lacking. While they do have some amazing employees who clearly care and do great work, the leadership and ownership do not seem to share the same dedication to customer satisfaction. Their selection of tuxedos and suits is extensive, which is a definite plus. However, if you plan to rent a tuxedo, be prepared to pay around $250, plus a $160 deposit, with a requirement to return the rental the very next day. For that $250, you receive only a jacket and slacks--no shirt, shoes, tie, vest, or pocket square which makes the value questionable. At that price point, I strongly recommend investing in your own tuxedo or renting elsewhere. Many other places offer complete tuxedo packages (including all accessories) for under $200, with a more reasonable 2-3 day return window and a stronger commitment to valuing your time and money. #SadButTrue

But it was what I'd chosen for a black-tie optional event, so I was hoping for a miracle. I tried it on in the shop, Reza studied it for maybe thirty seconds, took some measurements and made suggestions. No fuss, no upselling -- just a calm, knowing confidence. When I came back to pick it up, he brought it out and I immediately knew...it was beautiful! What had been a visibly misfitting dress, was turned into an elegant gown! I walked into Reza's shop with a problem dress and walked out with a lovely gown I can't wait to wear. That says everything. Thank you Reza, I am genuinely grateful.
