    First time with Shyam; tuxedo for daughter's wedding. Could not be more pleased. The look and fit was spot on.

It was both too much fabric, and weird pulling on the center seam. Stitch N Ready not only turned around the alteration in effectively a day (picked up next business day), but it lays even better than expected. SO happy and appreciative for their service.

    Came here to get a dress altered and overall the actual alteration work was done well. I needed the…read moredress taken in slightly around the bust and waist area and it cost me $90. The dress fit perfectly afterward and they completed it within a week, earlier than the pickup date I had asked for. The main issue for me was the organization during pickup. I received a text saying my dress was ready, but when I arrived they brought out a completely different piece of clothing even after I clearly described my dress. Turns out they had mixed up the name tags between my dress and someone else's. I ended up going to the back with them and immediately spotted my dress myself. I pointed it out and they asked if I was sure it was mine, which was a little strange. Then they asked me to try it on. At first I thought they just wanted to confirm the alterations looked right, but it turned out they wanted to see if it fit me to determine whether it was actually my dress. Thankfully it fit like a glove. Even after that, they still seemed unsure so I showed Yelp messages I had previously sent with photos of the dress, along with my receipt and even how much I paid. I usually throw receipts away, so thank goodness I still had it. After confirming in multiple different ways, they finally let me take my dress home. Another woman was also there picking up clothing after receiving a text notification and they were struggling to locate her item too, so it didn't seem like an isolated issue. Overall, I think the tailoring work itself is solid, but the shop felt pretty disorganized. The guy working there did apologize before I left, which I appreciated, but the whole process of having to repeatedly prove the dress was mine was definitely frustrating.

    Buyer Beware Our…read moregroup needed 2 bridesmaid dresses tailored for an upcoming wedding. Akram Hanna told us that walk-ins were welcome and accepted the dresses for inspection to determine a price. During this interaction, no consultation fee was mentioned, no credit cards were taken, and no agreements were signed. Note that there is also no service fee or consultation fee mentioned on the company website. However, upon receiving a call with the estimate, the prices were far above what we were willing to spend, so we let them know that we'd shop elsewhere based solely on the cost of the alterations. Unfortunately, the dresses were then, for lack of a better phrase, held hostage. The company's response was that "for wasting their time" $60 per dress needed to be paid before getting our property back. No tailoring had been started, and again, no previous mention of added cost had occurred. After significant back and forth, a member of our group went to collect the unaltered dresses in-person. The company still refused to return the expensive dresses and out of panic, she ended up paying $20 per dress for their safe return. During this process, the staff berated her and were extremely unprofessional. This unethical business practice borders on thievery, and we now feel completely taken advantage of, and frankly, extorted. I would recommend everyone to stay far away from Akram Hanna unless you enjoy exorbitant hidden fees, shockingly rude staff, and a ransom for the return of your unaltered property.
