He is incredibly talented and truly listens to what you're hoping to achieve. Every dress he has resized for me fits beautifully, and you would never know it had been altered. He has also brought dresses back to life that I thought were ruined because of broken zippers. His craftsmanship is exceptional, and the quality of his work consistently exceeds my expectations. On top of that, he offers dry cleaning, which is such a wonderful convenience to have right in the neighborhood. It's rare to find someone who combines this level of skill, attention to detail, and genuine care for their customers. His work is worth every penny, and I recommend Lu the Custom Tailor without hesitation. If you're looking for someone you can truly trust with your favorite clothes, this is the place to go.

I signed up for a class in March but requested to cancel or reschedule before the course date. I…read morecalled with no response and followed up with an email. Eventually, I received a text from someone at the shop. Unfortunately, it became clear that customer service is not a priority here. The person who texted me told me to just reschedule, but there was no follow-up or flexibility offered. Later, I was automatically enrolled in a class without being consulted, and the date didn't work for me as I was out of town. I'm now moving back to my home state and can't attend any future sessions, but they refused to offer any refund--even a partial one. While I understand this is a small business, the lack of communication and unwillingness to work with customers is disappointing. I'm now out $195 with nothing to show for it.

She did it again making alterations for my daughter's baptism...for my entire family! I witnessed firsthand that she can work on any type of clothing/material, cultural wear, and otherwise. She also adds things where you need them and removes them where you don't. She didn't show an attitude or irritation that I had brought her a few rush jobs. She was so pleasant and the experience made me grateful that there are still good, decent people out there who value their craft. She is honest, incredibly kind,and genuine. AND her prices are reasonable! If you're looking for the best tailor in the area, visit her! You won't be disappointed.
