    I was getting married and went to the Men's Wearhouse to get a "custom" suit. This was my first suit experience, and long story short what I got from them would make MC Hammer proud (this isn't a review for how bad Men's Wearhouse is, so I will keep it relevant, but my experience was so bad I did not want to take it back to them to have them "fix" it). After looking at yelp for tailors I came upon Adam and his shop in Burlingame, and I am never taking clothes anywhere else again. From the beginning he metaphorically tore the suit apart, outlining everything that was wrong with it and all the corners that were cut. All he was saying was "shame, shame," like I was Cersei in Game of Thrones. The cherry on top was when he showed me the made in China label next to where the "custom" label is. After spending a out an hour taking measurements he told me he would have it ready the day before I was flying out for the wedding (approximately 30 days). I received a call after about 3 weeks that the suit was ready, and my expectations were blown away. My wife and I got married in Cancun and I literally would have been blown away if I kept the suit the way it was, and Adam not only took care of that but had me feeling like I was James Bond. Grade A guy, Grade A service. 10/10 will go back

    Tailored by Adam, thank u so much it fit like a glove

    Excellent, skilled tailoring. The prices are high, but worth it if you can afford the best. He's a nice man, too.

    Finding a tailor and cobbler you trust is tough, so I'm happy to say I think I've finally found…read moremine. I had the pleasure of working with Jay, who was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and easy to talk to. From the moment I walked in, he took the time to understand exactly how I wanted everything to fit instead of rushing through the measurements. I brought in quite the assortment too: a Filson trucker jacket, a pair of raw denim jeans, and my Red Wing Iron Rangers. He was confident in his recommendations while still making sure the final result matched what I was looking for. You can tell Jay takes pride in his craft, and that level of experience gave me a lot of confidence leaving my favorite pieces in his hands. Customer service like his is hard to come by, and it made the entire experience enjoyable. The only reason I'm giving four stars instead of five is the price. The total came out to around $340, which definitely caught me off guard. To his credit, Jay was kind enough to give me a discount on the jeans and only charged me $300 cash, which I really appreciated. Quality craftsmanship isn't cheap, and I understand you're paying for experience. If you're looking for someone who knows what they're doing and treats your clothing and footwear with care, Jay is someone I'd recommend. Just be prepared for premium pricing.

    Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this business…read more I took my shoes in for repair and they told me they would be ready the next week. Unfortunately, because they are only open during regular work hours, I wasn't able to make it on the day they said they would be ready. I came the next day at 3:30 when they supposedly close at four, but they were already closed. I came back the next week at 3:30 and again they were closed. I returned the next day on Saturday around 11 AM and again they were closed. I finally was able to pick them up three weeks later and when I arrived, I was chastised for having left my shoes there for so long despite having tried to pick them up three times already. They told that I have to come on the day they say they'll be ready for pick up which is impossible for me since I work at a 9 to 5. The WORST PART is that in addition to the difficulties of obtaining my shoes after repair, they aren't even fixed. The FIRST time I put them on the glue came undone. See photo. So now I paid $30 for nothing

    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.

    Tina did a great job of shortening my wedding dress! She was quick and easy to communicate with.read more

    Marcela is a miracle worker! I can't thank her enough for saving my wedding dress. My dress was…read morecustom made incorrectly twice- first in the wrong fabric, and then in the wrong size- which meant I received it just three weeks before my wedding, four sizes too big. The tailor originally recommended to me by the bridal shop wouldn't even accept the dress; they said it would require a full remake to fit me and would change the composition of the dress, since it had been ordered incorrectly. Marcela took it on without hesitation. She custom re-made the entire bodice, including redoing the complicated pleating, to make sure it fit my body, and the dress ended up fitting like an absolute glove. She also hemmed it and even made me a custom veil to match it perfectly. In just three weeks, she completed three to four fittings and turned around the perfect dress. Not only did she get the job done on an emergency timeline when other tailors refused, she's also extremely kind, warm, and fun to work with. She treats you like a friend and is genuinely invested in the success of your dress and your big day. Thank you so much, Marcela!

    UPDATE: my daughter review is also posted. We didn't use another business as noted by Marcela…read more I had a terrible experience here. I believe Marcella states that she had someone else work on my daughters dress but when we picked it up another customer was there and the three women spoke to one another in another language and not really taking to time to actually interact with us. Nordstrom did their best to save this dress and it's nice to know they will work on items you didn't buy at Nordstrom's
