SUMMARY: Do not go to this place. 1) Discriminatory pricing, 2) Always over sells you, 3) Doesn't like to fix his alterations.
Andy, is the name of the owner of this tailoring shop and he is the reason for the poor rating. Andy's pricing is not consistent and he basically gives a price based on what he thinks you are willing to pay for his tailoring service.
I have actually used Andy for awhile, but I hadn't been into the shop for quite some time, so I called to confirm the price of a hem. I was told $10 on the phone, but when I went in, Andy told me it was $12.99. When I told him he told me $10 on the phone, he said that was his old price and that his prices have gone up due to his expenses going up. To quote him, "he said because gas is so expensive" he also has to charge more. GAS IS $2.20 as of the day I am writing this review. But Andy has always used "gas" as his reasoning for his pricing, especially if you ever ask for a discount.
I made the mistake of asking for a discount and I was yelled at in front of his other customers. Rude. Andy is happy as long as you pay him what he wants.
Also, Andy will never give you true advice about clothing/tailoring. I took a pair of pants in (the same pants actually that fueled this review) and I asked him if they needed to be taken in in the thigh (in addition to the hem). ANDY WILL NEVER RESIST THE CHANCE TO MAKE MORE MONEY ON YOU. He, of course, said "yes, they are a bit baggy....$25 to take that it in."
Oh and lastly, God forbid if you ever need an adjustment to an alteration he has done. You have to fight tooth and nail to get him to fix it. He will make every excuse in the book, "oh it looks good the way it is" or "you told me to make it this way" or "it was too long ago" (1 week). I only had to have him adjust an alteration once, and I got all of these excuses for the same jacket. He did not want to redo anything. So, I had to pay twice for the same item as I needed the item quickly.
So, as of today, I use a different tailor. Close by and much cheaper. Oh and they didn't think that the pants needed to be taken in the thigh area.
