Very professional and efficient. Quick to respond to the bid request and very knowledgeable.

I'd never been to a tailor before and was a little nervous. I'm picky and expected someone trying to upsell me on everything. Ali was nothing like that. First few visits, I'd bring something in looking for changes and he'd just tell me it looks fine. I was new to wearing nicer suits so wasn't sure what the fit should be like. No pressure, I was the one searching for things to alter. That told me everything I needed to know about him and left a great first impression. He did two suits during a really busy season, no issues. Then recently turned around a suit and a dress shirt in two days when he had a full week to do it. Even the initial week timeline was short, considering my alteration requests. Everything comes back steamed and neatly packaged. He gives honest advice, takes measurements, and doesn't charge you for every little thing like some places do. The details really make the outfit, minor adjustments across all my nicer clothing really brought everything together. I'm grateful I found this spot, it's fair and great value. Exactly what you'd want from your tailor. read more

I was so impressed with Ali!! I brought my dress to him on Sat as I needed it for this Wed 5/20, he did not disappoint!!! My dress was ready today Mon and it was perfect!!! I needed at least 3 inches cut off and hemmed. It looks just like it came from the store but better since it's tailored!!! Definitely recommend!!! read more

I needed my dress altered for a wedding I am attending, and unfortunately I procrastinated really badly on getting that done, but Alitailors came in clutch and was able to take my dress in! I needed the dress to be roughly 3in shorter because I am on the shorter side and also opened up the slit by 1.5in, normally this would take 2-4 weeks but because I was in such a rush, I was able to pick up my dress the next day! It was $125, I was honestly expecting it to cost much more because I thought that there would be a rush fee (there wasn't). The dress looks amazing and you can't even tell that it ever got altered. I would 100% come back here again at a more timely manner if I ever need something altered. read more

I honestly and generally appreciate their work came into repair a damaged and loosen threads on an old Louis Vuitton gym bag, and I brought it over had it fixed expeditiously Thank you very much for your service. read more

Professional tailor with amazing quality. Came in 10 minutes before closing and he was still willing to help me last minute with my bridesmaid dress. Price was reasonable and the quality was perfect. I will be going back to get other clothes tailored here. read more

This has to be the best tailor ever! I brought in a pretty difficult project with not a ton of time remaining and they got it done perfectly. I recommend them to everyone now. read more

Alitailors - the dress - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - Hayward, California

Ali is absolutely amazing! Two days before my wedding, I needed alterations done on my dress, and he came through quickly and flawlessly. The fit was perfect, and his attention to detail gave me complete confidence on such an important day. Not only was the quality of his work exceptional, but his customer service was outstanding as well. I've now been back to Ali three times, and every experience has been fantastic. He is professional, reliable, talented, and genuinely cares about his clients. I wouldn't trust anyone else with my alterations. Highly recommend Ali to anyone looking for excellent workmanship and outstanding service! read more

I called in a mere 4 days before I needed a dress for an event. I had an evening gown that's zipper ripped off the dress. AliTailors immediately responded to my request on yelp & had me scheduled for an appointment the same day. They did an excellent job repairing the zipper, letting out some fabric, & shortening my dress. The dress fit great after the alterations. I really appreciate their timely communication & the ability to get the alterations completed on a short timeline. read more

I've been waiting forEVER to get my joggers sewed up - they had the tiniest hole in the middle, just enough so if I'm gymming or whatever I can feel a slight breeze down there. I was across the bridge n called the first tailor that populated, and they quickly sewed the joggers up. No hassle, nothing complicated. It took about 10 minutes, as the dude was sewing something as I gave him my piece, so it was quick, simple, and get this - it was free!!! Plus, they have a bird! Cool place, if I happen to have something with a hole and I'm on this side of the bay, I'll be here again. Thanks! read more

Ali is a craftsman at what he does. Superb communications and understands the various needs of the customers he serves. I highly recommend calling first since they are busy serving the whole of the Bay Area as an atelier and tailor. I had a few pieces done with only minor modifications done in a hurry/short turnaround. Excellent value for the craftsmanship. Dresses and suits lined his incoming and outgoing work, Ali and family are great people to have for your clothing. read more

I know the standard advice: never mess with tailoring shoulders--just buy a jacket that fits. Totally fair... unless you stumble across an amazing Shanghai Tang piece that's one size too big and priced so well it feels like highway robbery not to buy it. Enter Ali. I brought the jacket in fully expecting a gentle "this is a bad idea," but after the fitting he just nodded and said he could handle it, no hesitation. The quote for reshaping the shoulders, taking in the back, and cleaning up the sleeves was definitely on the higher end but after seeing the finished result? Worth. Every. Penny. The jacket fits like it came off a bespoke pattern. Clean lines, perfect balance, no weird pulling. Honestly, I couldn't believe the transformation. I still wouldn't recommend shoulder tailoring as a first resort, but if you ever find yourself with a too-good-to-pass-up piece that needs serious work, Ali is absolutely the guy you want in your corner. Highly recommended. read more

Very quick and professional. Did a same day alteration for some pants and it was very affordable.

Fast and convenient! I needed 2 pairs of pants altered (shortened) and wasn't in a rush to get them back. I brought them in and said I could pick it up the following week but it was ready the following day. The hem was clean and you couldn't even tell it was done. Very nice work. read more

I had such a great experience here today. I called around 5 p.m. to ask if I could stop by with a pair of pants that had a broken zipper. When I arrived, the tailor took a quick look and immediately explained that the zipper actually wasn't broken. He adjusted a few things and fixed it within about five minutes. He also did not charge me anything as it was such a quick fix. I really appreciated his knowledge and honesty. These are my favorite pair of pants, and I had accidentally messed up the zipper earlier at work, so being able to wear them again this week honestly made my day. Also--don't forget to tip your tailors. They are lifesavers! read more

I wish I could give more than 5 stars! Ali was able to save the day since I needed same day alterations. I needed a hem on a jump suit pant and he was able to finish in lightning speed! The craftsmanship was phenomenal and the cost was very reasonable. I will definitely be using Alitailors for any and all alterations in the future. Thanks Ali! read more

The work on the suit was amazing, but it would be nice if the prices were discussed prior to asking what is needed and making out the bill.

Long overdue review. This is your local mom & pop alteration shop. I've been here twice and they never disappoint. They even remembered me from when the first time I came in. Very affordable compared to most places & the turn around time is very quick! I've gotten a lehenga altered for a friend's wedding and I had to come back to get my wedding dress altered. :-) Both attire fit like a glove after alterations. Service is great! The owners are super sweet and friendly. Cash or Venmo only! There is a tiny parking lot. Parking can get tricky because the shop is located on a busy street. 10/10 would recommend. read more

Highly recommend Alitailors! They do a great job with alterations and customer service has always been 10/10.

Very professional, good quality work, and reasonable prices. They contacted me that my dress was hemmed and ready about a week sooner than anticipated. I would definitely use them again. read more

Came in Monday the 6th and my dress was ready the following Monday! I tried it on and the length is perfect the sizing is just right. Communication was efficient. Payment is taken after measurements are completed. I got exactly what I wanted in time for a wedding I'm going to this Saturday. 10/10 recommend and will definitely keep supporting this business read more

They are the kindest! Always does great work and I only go to them. Everyone should bring their business to them.

Brought in my dress to have the thick straps shortened for a wedding. He did a wonderful job. Was charged $50 and when I came to pick up the dress, it was steamed, pressed and ready to wear. Would definitely use again for my tailoring needs! read more

Ali did a wonderful job tailoring a pair of knee-high boots for me. They were made of stretchy material and far too big for my short height and small calves, so I knew it was an unusual request. I left it up to Ali to let me know if it could be done, and he explained what the outcome would be, which sounded promising. When I picked them up just a couple of days later, they looked amazing--you'd think I had bought them that way. The finish was beautiful, and I couldn't believe how well they turned out. Thank you, Ali! read more

I've had two alterations done at Alitailors and I've been totally satisfied both times. The first was a tuxedo jacket I bought on ebay that needed the sleeves lengthened and the second was a Western-style shirt that was too baggy for my frame. On both occasions the fitting was professional and efficient, the work was done well within the promised timeframe, and my clothes came back with a perfect fit. I will be back for sure! read more

I had a great experience at Alitailors! I brought in my two wedding dresses to get a quote for my September 2026 wedding. I have been to other seamstresses/tailors to get quotes and Ali really stood out to me. At other places, I felt judged and pressured whereas with Ali he was attentive and answered my questions with patience and not once did I feel judged for the things I wanted done to my dresses. I loved that he suggested alternatives and showed me what a potential alteration would look like in the mirror. Alterations are extremely stressful for a bride, let alone 2 dresses and I felt like I was put at ease after my experience at Alitailors. I originally came just to get a quote but after my experience I decided to pay up front and leave both my dresses after my less than 30 minute appointment. :) I'm looking forward to seeing my dresses in 4 months! read more

Family run business where everyone, including their young daughter, is an expert on custom tailored clothing. I brought my daughter here to get alterations on her prom dress. They were very friendly and amicable over Yelp messaging, and were able to accommodate us the week before prom. Once we got there, they were helping 2 other women, but we were in and out of there in under 15 minutes. Their system is efficient and well run; they gave me a day and time to come back that worked with our schedule, and they texted me 3 days before the promised time to let me know the dress was ready for pick up. My daughter was thrilled by how much better her dress fit! Fast, friendly, efficient, and knowledgeable; Alitailors is a great addition to the Hayward area! read more

This gentleman is a true master of his craft. I trust him with any project. He's done sport coats, dress shirts and even a pair of swim trucks for me. read more

They tailored my daughter's dress for my brother's wedding. They were super quick and extremely friendly!

Beyond impressed with Alitailors! I took a Patagonia jacket with my boyfriend's school logo embroidered on it to be removed here so I could keep the jacket without the gaudy logo. They were upfront with me about how it may be a bit harder for them to do so since some of the embroidery was still going to be stuck in the jacket. I didn't have any expectations since it was a jacket given to me anyways. I didn't have a timeline so they mentioned they'd get to it within 3 weeks. By the second week, I received a text it was done and when I picked it up, there were just minor fuzz and threads in the jacket that mostly came out within the second wash. I had lowered my expectations since I really thought they weren't going to be able to do it based on what they had said but they executed and delivered nicely and now I have a Patagonia I technically invested only a quarter of the price in thanks to their skillful embroidery removal. read more

Alitailors were so quick and helpful when I brought in my husband's pants and my son's school uniform pants for hemming! They were finished early which was so helpful. I also brought in a jacket that I thought the zipper needed replacing but he fixed it without replacing the zipper and didn't charge me for it! Coming back again to get some more pants hemmed! read more

I highly recommend them - I went to Alitailors to get my wedding dress hemmed and take in. They did an excellent job at a fair price! My dress now fits like a glove. Ali and Naheeda have excellent craftsmanship and are skilled professionals. On top of that, wedding tailoring is super stressful and they both brought kindness, honest, and calm energy to the process. Other tailors I spoke to in the East Bay were rude and dismissive, not taking clients unless they exceeded $x of spend and could be fit into their schedules. read more

I came here to get a bridesmaids dress altered with very little time. He was able to get the job done within a week and it was perfection! I highly recommend this place. The price was very reasonable and he does great work. read more

Super prompt response and service! Friendly family and greets customers kindly! I could tell some people were repeats. Ali was kind enough to demonstrate the options I wanted and was nice to let me know the outcome if I was to close the dress in the back vs leaving it open. I'll have to post pictures during the event, but thank you so much for the last minute request!! read more

Update 5/16/24 Wow!!!! I am super impressed by the quality of work by Ali. First of all, my jeans were ready by Wednesday even though he said he would have it by Saturday. He got it done well over the time estimate he gave me. Amazing. Secondly, the fit is perfect. I mean look at the comparison here of the before and after. It's literally night and day. From 4 sizes too big and literally falling to my ankles to perfectly fitting and sitting perfectly. Lastly there overall quality of work is just well done. It looks like a design on the pants that it came with. I love it I'll definutely be back here for more alteration needs. Thank you!!! read more
