I've been searching for a reliable tailor in the San Francisco area, and Tina's Alterations was…read moreexactly what I was looking for. I had four dresses that needed alterations for several upcoming weddings and initially sent Tina photos of all of them. Rather than accepting every project, she carefully evaluated each dress and agreed to work on only two. She explained that while the other two dresses could technically be altered, the fabric and fit would make it difficult to achieve a result that met her quality standards. I greatly appreciated her honesty and professionalism. Many businesses would have accepted all four dresses, but Tina was focused on delivering work she could confidently stand behind. Her transparency and commitment to quality immediately gave me confidence in her expertise. During my first visit to Tina, I brought both my dresses to try on to assess the alterations that I needed done (mostly hemming). She provided a quote at that time, and stated that payment could be made at pick-up. I found her pricing to be very reasonable given the complexity of the dresses (material and multiple layers). The two dresses she altered turned out beautifully. The craftsmanship was excellent, and the fit was exactly what I wanted. The turnaround time was about two weeks from drop-off to pickup, which I found very reasonable (especially since I had told Tina there was no rush). She clearly takes pride in her work and pays close attention to the details that make a difference. One thing to note is that English is her second language and Mandarin is her first, so there can be a bit of a language barrier. If you speak Mandarin, communication will likely be even smoother. That said, I found Tina to be thoughtful, professional, and genuinely committed to achieving the best possible result for her clients. I would definitely return for future alterations and would highly recommend Tina's Alterations to anyone looking for quality workmanship and honest, trustworthy service.

I brought my silk duvet in for dry cleaning and was unable to pick it up right away due to a move…read more When I came back, the owner said it was still in storage and asked me to give him more time. Since then, every time I've shown up in person to get it, I'm told to "come back later" -- this has been going on for over a year with no resolution. I've lost confidence that my duvet still exists or will ever be returned. Be cautious leaving valuable items here long-term; communication and follow-through have been a real problem. Update: I received a call from the owner stating he has my duvet and it's ready for pick up. I was excited and went to go pick it up. When i looked at my duvet, it is covered with mold. He insisted to tell me that it came with mold, excuse me? The audacity. It didn't come with mold. The mold build up was due to my duvet being in his storage for year and half. Instead of patronizing and gaslighting me, he could of simply tried to at least returned it clean as courtesy. I paid and again left frustrated. I don't understand how anyone does business like this. I called him as to why he would give it to me back like this and he said oh, i can clean it again. Absolutely not!! I feel this was a retaliation for my review. I just went to another cleaner and begged them to help me. So I'll be paying double to clean up his mess. Unacceptable.

I found Hester through Yelp when I desperately needed to alter my wedding dress neckline. Although…read moreshe only had a few wedding dresses in the Yelp photos, her 25years of experience and skills of working on customized costumes assured me that she'll do a good job. She works in her home and is very professional. She responded quickly via Yelp messages and made sure we both agreed on the work to be done documented in a signed contract. She finished the alteration on the agreed date, and she charged me based on the difficulty of the job. She did an amazing job with my dress, and she didn't charge me "extra" because it's for a wedding. I paid less than half of what I would've paid in a specialty seamstress, but I got the exact changes I wanted. Thank you, Hester.

I cannot recommend Ariana Sewing Shop highly enough…read more I purchased what was essentially a ready-to-wear floor sample that was nearly two sizes too big, but he transformed it into what truly felt like a custom couture gown. From our very first appointment, he listened carefully to my vision and immediately understood exactly what I was hoping to achieve. He completely reimagined the dress by reshaping the neckline, removing the cap sleeves, and tailoring every detail until it fit me perfectly. It was a significant alteration project that required multiple appointments, yet he never once inflated the price or surprised me with additional charges. His honesty, professionalism, and attention to detail were remarkable. On my wedding day, I felt absolutely incredible. The dress looked and fit better than I ever imagined, and so much of that was because of his talent. He didn't just alter a gown. He helped create the dress I had envisioned from the beginning. If you're looking for someone who is exceptionally skilled, patient, fair, and genuinely invested in bringing your vision to life, I wouldn't hesitate to trust him with the most important dress you'll ever wear. Thank you for helping make my wedding day so special.

I ordered my wedding dress online, and it arrived only a week before my wedding day. Unfortunately,…read morethe dress was much too long and needed significant alterations. With just days to go before the wedding, I was incredibly stressed and worried I wouldn't be able to get everything done in time. Thankfully, Mo came to the rescue. He was able to take my dress in right away, listened carefully to all of my concerns, and understood exactly what I wanted changed. Despite the tight timeline, he completed the alterations quickly and with great attention to detail. I just tried on my dress, and it's exactly how I envisioned it. The fit is beautiful, and I couldn't be happier with the results. I highly recommend Mo for any alterations, especially if you're working under a tight deadline. Thank you, Mo, for your expertise, kindness, and for saving my wedding dress!

I was in need of a Filipino Barong for an upcoming wedding I'm attending and decided I wanted to go…read morewith something traditional, put Filipino Barong into a Yelp search, and Pioneer was the first one and pretty much only spot close to me that sells Barongs. I tried purchasing one of Etsy, and that was a debacle and wasted money. It was a reminder for myself that shopping local (especially clothes) is the way to go because the care and time the owner spent with me to describe the different fabrics and sizing is just something you can't get in the online shopping space. The owner is a one woman show and she's the designer of all the Barongs in her store. We tried on a couple different ones, and I was able to find exactly what I was looking for. Mine needed some alterations and she was kind enough to include it with the purchase. The place is cash only, so definitely be prepared with cash on hand. If you are looking for a spot to grab a Barong, this is a spot to check out.
