Wow. 5 stars. I always love to praise excellence and love to give a good review for great quality…read moreand effort. I remember asking around so many different places if they can shorten the length of yoga/stretchy material pants and so many said no, and other places said they have to see the pants in person first. Some places don't even answer the phone no matter how many times you call! BUT Kailua Tailor & Alternation goes above and beyond. Anytime I call, they answer immediately. I asked if they can do the yoga pants and they said yes. I asked where they had been because I hadn't seen them last year, but they are new and opened up about a year ago. This store is exactly what we needed in Kailua. Although a bit pricy ($26 for 1 pair of pants), they have excellent customer service AND they get it done FAST. Usually at other places I think it can take a week. But this store they said it would be like 3 days. They gave me a day and said it would be ready for sure on that day. And it was! They are also very nice. I am very glad to see they are also busy. Clothings ready to be picked up on the rack. And they are still fast! Anyway, I love my 2 yoga pants now because without them I probably would've had to return them, and I didn't want to! They are the perfect length now. Thank you SO much guys!! I will definitely be back.

After paying all that money I had put it thru my machine on delicate and wash it just to show that it wasn't there prior. I came to yall trusting that my items would be protected and didn't mind paying watever it cost but it seems as if y'all like to be dishonest. If your workers noticed they did something wrong when it came time to drying ironing, steaming whatever it is you do, they should of immediately brought it to someone attention and fixed it immediately, not give me my shirt looking the way it did especially when I know I didn't give it to you in that condition. That's being dishonest and trying to get away from your error. I gave them only 2 white shirts and I get it back with stains on it, the rest of the shirts were all black. 11 shirts but in all total 16 items. I checked every single item throughly before giving to the lady at the front and mention to her about a jacket that had chocolate on the sleeve but never ended up giving it to her cuz my son said he will just wash regular cuz it was like a rain coat type zip up so it would came off easily which it did when we took it home. Who ever took the time out to dry and press or iron my order should of had curiosity and respect that you clearly LACK to put it back through a clean and fix what you created. Especially knowing that you created the problem but instead you like be sneaky and not mention it when I pick up my items hoping I'm not paying attention and think it was already like that nope run them cameras back cuz that shirt was not stained when I went thru every item I gave to the lady and laid each item out on that table one by one. People pay attention if y'all see similar stains don't think it's already from you giving it to them they did that mess and my pictures show proof. How a fresh dry clean shirt got stains but I come home and gotta wash it to prove it wasn't there prior now. I waste my money paying for service that clearly wasn't great, where's the Aloha? I guess this is what you get when you paying 50% more for a 2 day rush service job smh.
