Great tailoring and dry cleaning services! He can fix anything and gets everything done quickly.

Stephan has altered my boyfriend's suit and lengthened my jeans. Both were done perfectly. I highly recommend Stephan for alterations.

High quality service and very friendly owner / tailor. Have been coming here for 6+ years given his expertise for very reasonable prices. Stephan always lets you know when your clothes will be ready and meets expectations. Great job! read more

I had a pair of jorts I found and loved but were waist 34, when I was a waist 30. He transformed them in no time to my size. Get your stuff fixed here they do the best work. read more

Paid $28 for a dry-cleaning service. The results were unacceptable original stains remained, and the suit was covered in lint. When I brought this to their attention, the solution offered was to simply "come back in 30 minutes." For the price, I expected a professional, finished job. I do not recommend this business and will be taking my future business elsewhere. Save your time and money . read more

Stephan's Cleaners and Tailor's Cable St. OB In excess of 25-30 years this merchant has always been considered as belligerent, argumentative, hard to get along with and as being hateful towards the younger Ocean Beach community. I, felt it was important to let go of the angst and start from new. THIS BUSINESS PERSON PROVED HE WAS INCAPABLE OF ALLOWING FOR THAT TO HAPPEN! Suggest you explore the business located at SC n Narragansett if you feel your business needs are appreciated or that as a person you are respected. has any importance to you. read more

I love this place.! The owner is so ki d and friendly and does an amazing job! They have been in business for a long time and I get it! I keep coming back! read more

I put three stars as a neutral review because I didn't have any work done. He's a nice guy and looking at his price list. I assumed he could re-glue the soles on my rubber boots. When I got there, he said he only works on leather shoes. Just an FYI. read more

Stephan is the nicest guy & does a fantastic job. I've been going to him for the past few years & I'm always more than happy with the results of his work! Would 100% recommend read more

Excellent service. Stephan is also a very friendly person. He was able to get a tea stain off a white almost $200 hoodie I got from a Travis Scott concert with no problems. I was very pleased and will be going back to him whenever I have any more expensive clothing items in need of professional cleanings. 100% would recommend. read more

I would highly recommend this business for all your tailor needs and dry cleaning services..I've been going to this business for years and all I get is impeccable customer service and the best quality service..Stephan is so friendly and personable with amazing attention to detail especially when it comes to tailoring y expensive jeans and pants!! He's the best!! read more

Stephan is so friendly! Great customer service. It's so nice to have a good dry cleaner in the neighborhood. :)

I had a few items altered here and while the results were decent, Stephan's prices are pretty high. I live in OB so it's super convenient, but I found another tailor in PB that has more reasonable prices. read more

The owners are very sweet and they did cut and sew some dress pants the same day within an hour! I was so happy with the results! I'm glad that i found this cleaners!! Great job! Thank you so much! The only issue was the parking around the cleaners but that is okay, it isn't their fault. Thank you again! read more

Stephan does a fantastic job! We feel so lucky to have him in our neighborhood. Our clothes always look fantastic and he is so wonderfully kind! If I could give him 10 out of five stars I would. read more

Stephan is the go to guy for advice and tailoring work. He repaired some of my much loved clothing when I thought they were too far gone. He is reasonably priced and "on time"! read more

Stephan's shop has been here for many years; he's a fixture in O.B. He can do anything; clean and repair shoes, clothing, you name it! His skills are impeccable. He is also very kind and extremely honest. Five stars for the best alterations and dry cleaning in Ocean Beach. Thank you, Stephan! read more

I had a fantastic experience at Stephan's Cleaners and just had to write a review. I recently moved to San Diego and needed a new dry cleaner and am so lucky that I found Stephan's! I don't know what this guy's secret is, but my clothes come back cleaner and more neatly pressed than ANY dry cleaner I've ever used. And that says a lot, because the work that he puts in, is amazing. I've gotten a lot of outfits cleaned up at this location, and I'll keep coming back. read more

I've been coming here since I started working Ocean Beach....a LOOONNNGGG time in other words. Stephan is a very nice gentleman and a very talented tailor. I've never once been unhappy with any work he's done for me --sewing repairs, alterations and dry cleaning included -- and I refer all of my friends here for service as well. And his prices remain reasonable. Stephan has found his calling and he is clearly happy to be doing what he does...even though he works 6 days a week! More people should have a work ethic like his! read more

I've lived in OB 4-yrs now and keep my business local every chance I get. With that being said, I do that until a standard expectation (concerning alterations mine aren't high) is not met, and my last experience totally let me down and have already changed shops I go because of it. I took in a brand new $50 North Face (thin performance fabric material) hoody, from store to shop knowing I need the sleeves shortened. He had no hesitation he could do the job. I picked it up a week later and when I got home was stoked to try it on. **I have used him 5-6 other times for standard material items (denim/cotton etc) and been fairly pleased so felt no need to check shirt in-store.** This time the seams were further back then we agreed on and they weren't even close to parallel, and had 10-12 lines of sharpie marker that were not there upon drop-off. I immediately drove back, asked if he could fix the sewing errors. He said he could and didn't know how the marker lines got there but it didn't happen in-store. Corrections took a couple days, picked up & checked in store this time with him. All kinds of exposed holes from the removed seams, it was closer to the end but still not totally straight. Brought up the marker line topic again and he still denied anything to do with it. I took it elsewhere and they did a pretty good job, luckily it's a blue marker on blue shirt so doesn't stand out there bad but a $50 shirt quickly became $80 with extra alterations; but the holes obviously compromised the structural integrity and still have the marker issue. Reminded of the hassle each time I put it on. I do echo what everybody says, he is a very nice guy. I've been pretty happy with the jeans, shirts, shorts I've taken there before so I expected the same result with this. I looked the shirt over before taking it in so I would've noticed any sort of markings, which there were none. So as a PSA if you have performance/workout type fabric items be absolutely sure the machinery is equipped to do what you're expecting. read more

Stephan's Cleaners and Tailoring - Exposed holes, blue marker lines and semi-parallel seams - Shoe Repair Near Me - San Diego, California

Just picked up my bridesmaid dress today, and it fits perfectly -- way better than I thought it could ever fit, actually. And I was a bit worried because when I tried it on for him a week ago to see what alterations to make, another customer came in, so he quickly marked some areas on the dress and that was it -- I was in and out in less than 5 minutes. I also brought in a pair of wedges with broken straps for him to glue back a few months ago -- I wear them all the time, and they're still intact. Although the prices are a bit higher than expected, it's worth the extra money to be assured that you'll be happy with your alterations and repairs. To top it all off, he's so nice! read more

Stephan is a hilarious gentleman that knows what he's doing! He was giving me all kinds of advice about keeping my dress shirts from getting stained around the collar and what not... Right now his business is taking a hit because of construction. So you gotta maze your way in there; but don't let that stop you! San Diegans unite and support Stephan's Cleaners!!! read more

One of the kindest business owners I've ever met. Repair quality excellent, highly recommended. read more

I rarely use dry cleaning but I had a wedding and since I couldn't go into the store to buy a suit due to COVID I had it shipped to my home. Well it came all wrinkled and literally the wedding day was in 3 days. Stephan was able to deliver it the day before in the afternoon. Came out looking nice and clean. read more

I took my Cole Haan chukka boots in for a clean up and polishing. Stephan told me that there was only so much he could do to my heavily banged up boots. According, I didn't expect much when I went in to pick them up. However, upon retrieving them, they turned out as good as new! Amazing job! 5 STARS!!! read more

I had a zipper broken on a pair of pants that I needed done same day. The man in the shop was the sweetest person ever! He had them done in an hour. I told him I wanted to wear the pants that night (that's why I needed them done same day) and he pressed them for me without me asking. He said he wanted to make sure I looked nice tonight. It was $10 to fix which I couldn't believe how cheap. I highly recommend coming here! Great service, great price! Will definitely be coming back anytime I need anything done to my clothes read more

Love this place! I've gotten items dry cleaned and tailored and each time they've done a great job! Also pretty fast. Would definitely recommend. read more

Would make any excuse to come back here. Stephan is a JOY and darn good at his craft.

Like all the other reviewers, I agree that Stephan's is a great local business. He's a nice guy who does great work and always goes the extra mile for you. One time I dropped off a really nice comforter for a cleaning, and then summer started and I promptly forgot about it... for THREE years! (Literally. I know that's ridiculous - I actually went on a year-long deployment in the middle!) Anyway, I just assumed that the comforter was gone forever, and I chalked it up to the ol' Idiot Tax rearing its ugly head. But I stopped into Stephan's just to check, and guess what? Not only was the comforter waiting for me wrapped in clean plastic, but it was sitting RIGHT NEXT to the counter. Like three feet from the register. Three YEARS later. That's crazy! Serendipitously good service like that definitely deserves a shout. read more

Last week I realized that I'd be a great candidate for an episode of "Queer Eye For The Stragiht Guy" when the following conversation took place as I walked towards the laundry room with a new dress shirt. Danny's roommate: Dude, you should really get that dry-cleaned. Danny: What's dry cleaning? Ok so I was half joking. I know what it is, but I rarely use it because I always feel like I'm getting ripped off. Fashion really isn't my thing and I just don't know any better, so I consulted with a "Queer Eye" friend who confirmed. "Dude, get that shit to the cleaners!" That's when Yelp came in. The first place that popped up on my search was not only walking distance from my crib but all 5 star reviews. I walked in with a bundle of clothes and a pair of jeans to be tailored (also roommate noted and "Queer Eye" audition worthy) Two days later my gear was looking GQ and I quieted all of my style critical friends. It was about 50 bucks total, but for the amount of stuff I brought in apparently I got a steal. If you're like me and clothing is about as high on your priorities as a "meter maid appreciation party", you can trust these cleaners to touch up your threads. I just hope they do wolf shirts, cuz I got a gang of those. read more

I came here on a recommendation from a friend of mine and am totally thrilled with the work this guy did! I needed my dress altered for my sisters wedding (I was the maid of honor, so it was pretty important). I had definite opinions about what I wanted fixed. He took a different approach and told me what HE would do to change it, and asked me if that was alright. I kinda had reservations, but figured he knew dressmaking better than I. And he was right. It only took a few days, but when I got the dress back.....it was PERFECT! He took in the sides, reinforced the straps, and somehow made it so I seemed 'perkier'...if you know what I mean. And it was under $30! (and was ready in just a few days!) I don't have too much need for alterations or tailoring....but next time I do, I will be back here for sure!!! I also hear he does amazing work on shoes....will have to check that out as well. read more

Stephan is a LIFE SAVER!!!!! I had to alter a dress for my friend's wedding and OF COURSE, I waited to the last minute. Stephan was able to make the adjustments beautifully to the seams and you couldn't even tell any work was done! He had the dress altered and cleaned within 3 days--wowzers! He's a miracle worker and to top it off, it was so affordable! I highly recommend!! read more

I don't take many items to the dry cleaner (too much effort) so only very delicate or very dirty items make it. I decided to try this place out because it's close to home and I was very pleased. I brought in a silk shirt with a mysterious stain that had been there for an indeterminate amount of time. He warned me that the shirt might be damaged but I figured why not? Who wants to where a shirt with a weird stain anyway? It turned out like new. I was totally impressed. I also brought in a pair of heels to get new tips and they came back all shiny and wonderful. Next time I need a dry cleaner, I know where to go. read more

Stephan's is great in so many ways. Very friendly service and so many different services to offer! From dry cleaning, to alterations, to shoe repair & more! read more

I have tried many cleaners in SD and he is by far my favorite. He has altered jeans and slacks, cleaned my "fancy" wear and fixed heels and straps on shoes that I thought were beyond repair. Granted he has a person he sends the shoes out to for fixing but the work gets done with the same care and special attention he puts into his sewing and cleaning. I have had him clean a shirt twice (at no extra cost) when it wasn't up to his standard of cleanliness. On a personal note, Stephan is very pleasant and happy. He always makes me smile just be being in his presence. I LOVE Stephan and the work that he does. I highly recommend him! read more

Stephan's cleaner is my go to dry cleaner and for alterations. I love the customer service. He is always greeting me with such a big smile and so happy to see me. I feel very welcomed here. The prices are fair and the quality done is great. I highly recommend Stephan's cleaner. read more

Stephan's Cleaners and Tailoring - Price List 2019 - Shoe Repair Near Me - San Diego, California

I cannot stress how amazing Stephan is! I've been going to him for years now and he is the most friendly, professional and dependable person I know. He takes great pride on his work and is a kind person too. read more

Take 1: Walk in and then turns around "Stephan." (You think to yourself is this guy for real?) It is like a scene right out of Zoolander meets 'Queer Eye for the Straight Guy' - "Hello (in a high pitched voice), how may I help you?"... But slowly, for some reason, you start to warm up to him and get sucked in. Stephan is just generally a really nice guy who tires to help people (by making them look better!) I need to get some jeans hemmed & patched. The hemming was $18 per pair of jeans & the patches were only $8... This is steep but I have been told that his work is well worth the price so I went for it. I came back 3 days later (YES, that is right, I said THREE DAYS - not three weeks, or 3 months but 3 days) and all three items were taken care of. And again, it was done with a smile (somewhat of a creepy smile but a smile). The GOOD: STEPHAN is worth it - drive to OB and get your items hemmed here! He has high quality work, a great personality, & does his work FAST. The BAD: The prices are a little steep but if you go to a denim store for jeans, you are going to pay close to this anyways... The UGLY: OB during daylight... Try to come right before sunset, pick up your items, and them head down Newport Ave for Happy Hour. Bottom Line: This guy knows what he is doing & he does it well. I WILL be back! read more

Stephan is a magician!! He'll perfectly alter the clothes, and the best part is that you won't be able to tell whether he has done any work or if the clothes was made to fit me perfectly from the beginning. He especially did a fantastic job on my mink fur coat. He took everything apart and made me a new shawl. it is so much prettier than the ones at Bloomingdale!!! It is not the located in the best of San Diego, but because of the amazing work he does, it is definitely worth the drive to Ocean Beach/ Point Loma. read more

The guy who owns this place loves life. I mean, the guy has a perma grin. He either partakes in OB's finest, or is just a really happy dude. Or, perhaps, he is a really happy dude because he partakes in OB's finest. I'll never know, unless, of course, I ask him one day, which I won't... Anyhoo, he does all the normal cleaners type stuff. You know getting stains out, fixing rips, attaching buttons, fixing shoes, etc. If you need cleaners in OB, drop by Stephan's, the prices are reasonable and the perma smile is free. read more
