    I had several pairs of jeans altered and hemmed keeping the original bottoms on some. They did fantastic work.

    Excellent quality alterations and fast turnaround. I needed hems done quickly and they delivered. Price was high but worth it.

    Ask the Community - Ritz Tailor & Alterations

    I have some pants that need to be let out a little. Can that be done today?

    Not sure but give them a call.

    How much would it be to alter the length of sleeves in a suit jacket?

    $30 - $40 The price ranges due to the difference in style (buttons, stitching, etc.).

    Is there an email address I can try and get a hold of this business at? I tried calling but line is down/busy?

    I called the number posted in the window and was able to speak to the staff: 510-350-6617

    Is it walk-in only, or do they take appointments/reservations?

    Both! I usually call ahead so they know I'm coming. Sometimes you might just have to wait if you do walk in. It's a pretty small store.

    From start to finish, I tried on the dress, Yim measured it and asked me to come back in about a week.

    Quick quality work and a fair price…read more Nothing more to say but Yelp requires more characters.

    I found Mari's Alterations through Yelp because of the many positive reviews. Unfortunately, my…read moreexperience was not positive so that was when I started looking into the 1 and 2 star reviews on Yelp and Google. They're all saying the same thing about Maria being disorganized and unreliable, which was exactly my experience. And based on reading the negative feedback, I noticed this lady tends to deflect blame. Never her fault. Always something else. I brought in two pairs of jeans for hemming and a wool coat that needed a lining added. Price was affordable. She gave me a week timeline to pick up. I originally planned to pick everything up on Saturday, but I called the next day (Sunday) and asked if I could pick up a day early on Friday instead. She said yes. Thursday came and I called them just to remind them as I've had experiences elsewhere in the past where things got forgotten and I didn't want to make a 25 min drive and finding out my stuff isn't ready. Lo and behold, when I called to remind her I'll be picking up the following day, she said Saturday so I reminded her I called her last Sunday to change to friday. She said okay, she's not busy so she can work on it. I showed up Friday at around 11. My stuff wasn't done. Her employees were working on it. At first she mentioned pick up was supposed to be Saturday. I repeated I've made phone calls prior to change to Friday and she said yes. Then she said I came too early. Say what? We never confirmed on a pickup time. Then she asked me to wait additional 40 minutes. And she argued with me, giving me an attitude. I let her know she was unprofessional and disorganized and this was before I read all the negative reviews. It frustrated me because she had the whole week to work on them and she didn't. Will not be taking my business here again. I do not recommend her business.

    Disaster. Waited 4 weeks for an appointment at this place. Told the tailor exactly what we needed…read moreover the phone - a dress needed to be tailored to fit. Gave her the brand, size, etc. she quoted us $160. Steep, but reasonable given the quality of the dress. She took measurements. After the fitting, she told us the cost would be $400. $400 to tailor a dress?!? That's more than most dresses cost. Why? She said, "wedding dresses cost more." We explained that it wasn't a wedding dress (I'm already married!). But she wouldn't change the price. It felt strange and uncomfortable and kind of awful to be called a liar. Walked out and found another tailor who did an epic job for $120. Went to the party (NOT A WEDDING) and felt fabulous. Skip this place. p.s. Apparently this owner gaslights customers. To clarify: 1. I definitely called in advance, 2. I was definitely overcharged, 3. It was definitely Lily from Irena's studio. Not confused, and not a mistake. Avoid avoid avoid.

    Irena's Studio is a gem!!! I was initially hesitant to trust someone in general with something as…read moreimportant as my wedding dress, but Lily (the owner) did an amazing job and knew exactly what alterations would flatter my body. During our first meeting, Lily was thorough, clear, and explained each recommendation and steps of the alteration process. I loved how for each visit, Lily took a step by step approach to alter my dress so that she could confirm that I was happy before moving forward to other aspects. I also appreciated that if I had a recommendation or question, Lily really listened and did not make me feel rushed during my appointment. I received so many compliments on my dress during the wedding and my photos came out so good as well. I'm so grateful for Lilys expertise and would highly recommend her!

    I can't say enough amazing things about Ms. Louise! I was referred to her through my cousin, who…read morewas getting married in Europe back in December, and I was a bridesmaid. When I got my dress, it was entirely too small and I was in full panic mode. Ms. Louise was upfront about what she could and couldn't do, which I really appreciated. She ended up opening the dress and adding fabric to the side panels so it fit my hips comfortably--and somehow made it even more beautiful than before! She did all of this within about a month while also working on my cousin's (the bride's) dress. On top of that, she altered a second dress for my reception at the last minute and had it ready in less than a week. I was able to pick everything up just in time before my flight the day after Christmas. Truly a lifesaver! Ms. Louise is the best--so talented, professional, and reliable. I'm beyond grateful and can't thank her enough! Highly recommend!

    I can't say enough wonderful things about Louise! From the very first time I heard her voice over…read morethe phone at 6:30 in the evening, I immediately had complete confidence in her--and after meeting her, I knew my instincts were right. Louise is an amazing seamstress! Her talent and her eye for even the smallest details are incredible. She didn't just alter my dress--she paid attention to everything, right down to recommending what undergarment I should wear and helping me with the right choice of shoes. That kind of knowledge and attention to detail was absolutely priceless! I needed my dress altered on a very short timeline, and Louise had it beautifully done for me in just 6 days! She was accommodating, professional, and genuinely cared about making sure everything looked perfect. I honestly felt like I hit the lottery when I met Louise! Finding someone this talented, knowledgeable, and trustworthy is rare. I will definitely be going back to her and would recommend her without hesitation. Thank you, Louise, for making me feel so confident and beautiful in my dress!
