I was a loyal customer of Kim's for over 8 years. She handled countless alterations for me and was…read moreincredibly skilled, detail-oriented, and fairly priced. As a very petite shopaholic, I kept her busy, and she never disappointed. After Kim retired and sold the business, I decided to give the new owner a chance. Against my better judgment, I brought in a pair of $250 designer joggers to have the original hem shortened. I specifically paid extra to preserve the original hem. When I picked them up, I was shocked. The original jogger hem with the branded drawstring detail had been completely cut off and replaced with a basic flat hem. The owner admitted he couldn't find the pieces he removed and only located one of the original hem after searching. To his credit, he attempted to fix the damage, but I had to source the correct drawstring components myself and wait over two weeks for repairs. He reimbursed me for the materials, but that was the extent of it. I finally wore the pants for the first time, and the repaired drawstring immediately broke. Now the pants are essentially unusable. Mistakes happen, but this alteration permanently damaged an expensive garment that cannot be restored to its original condition. Please be cautious if you're bringing in specialty, designer, or high-end items. I won't be returning.

We were sad to see that Kim sold Casa de Oro Alterations in 2025, but we were glad that a new…read moreTailor bought the place and we decided to give it a try. The tailor was very nice and eager to please. Since the place was under new management, we made sure to inquire about the pricing for hems, darts, tapering, etc., prior to leaving our garments. The prices appeared to be reasonable based upon industry standards. Since then we have been using this tailor for the past year and I also had a couple of custom projects that he was able to complete. I did have a few garments that needed to be readjusted and he did so without charge. If you have a rush, he can usually accommodate your request. On occasion there might be a bit of a language barrier, so I simply use the iPhone translate feature if necessary. Overall I would recommend this tailor.

A…read morevery nice (and chic) woman greeted me and told me the work could be done; just to allow a couple of hours. Super! Upon my return, the patches were sewn on exactly where they needed to be and looked awesome! For this speedy work, I only had to pay $14 total. Since I don't sew, this is a great price. When I get the other patches to complete the outfits, I'm definitely coming back. By the way, there are some gorgeous embroidered scarves at the front counter. I didn't ask if they were for sale, but they may give an idea of the quality of work done there.

It was my friends wedding and I needed my dress altered. My friend, Jennifer, was recommended…read moreAlteration Center by another friend, so in the interest of ease I came here too. When I first walked with Jennifer, who had an appointment to pick up her dress, the owner was in the middle of helping another customer and didn't even greet us. The other customer was getting her slacks pinned for alteration. She asked the owner to complete it a certain way she liked it done in the past and it quickly became a very uncomfortable confrontation between what the customer wanted and what the owner decided she would do. When we were finally greeted and told her why we were there her demeanor changed and she was cordial until the previous customer left. Then she proceeded to talk mad trash about her! To her new customer(s)! We decided to let it roll off our backs and my friend tried on her already altered dress, which did look fantastic. I put my dress on and told her what I wanted done, which included putting a slit in the side. When I went to pick up my dress the slit was not done, it was not taken in as much as shown, and the owner threw her staff under the bus for those issues. Yet, she still decided to charge me the full previously agreed upon price even though all the alterations were not done as agreed upon. Both encounters were so uncomfortable.

Her passion shows in her work that she takes a lot of pride in. She did a phenomenal job transforming my wedding dress from a dress that I liked to a dress that I LOVE. She had a vision and it delivered perfectly-- and on-time for my wedding in 3 short weeks! Aside from her fabulous work, she is honest, she has a pure heart, and has good energy. I saw some people complained about her having a cash-only policy, but who cares. There's an ATM 2 minutes away walking distance. To top it all off, she is reasonably price compared to other alteration stores-- especially considering the work she does. I cannot recommend Amy enough, 100/10!!

I told him that and I told him I'm trying him out for the first time. I looked at these fake ratings he has here and trusted this place. So I went to pick up the items I come home and EVERYTHING SHRUNK! His pants were shorter then my husbands ankles and his shirt sleeves and the length of the shirts were all shrunk big time. I was in shock my husband was so mad and so we called the place right away he says gets aggressive and says I don't believe it being them in. So I brought them in and show them and he just kept arguing with me. Coincidentally there was a lady behind me and heard the conversation we had she whispered to me and said I just had this issue here too, and that's why I'm here as well. So i told him and he wouldn't do anything about it. So I reported him to the BBB and they will be hearing from them. A lot of money on clothes ruined for a place that I trusted. Do not come here, I would never Make a review like this but I don't want anyone to have what happened to me happen to them. He tried to give me credit to bring my other clothes LOL. I said like what are you saying?! first I'd never trust you second you ruined all of our expensive clothes what credit?! You owe us money and he wouldn't do anything about it so I reported him.
