    Had a suit jacket taken in. They were reasonably priced at $20. It took about 3 days. Downside they only take cash.

    Amanda is the best! I came to Lynchburg from out of town for a wedding and realized that my matron…read moreof honor dress was 8 inches too long! I definitely would've been tripping down the aisle. I came in on a Tuesday 15 mins before they closed asking for her help. The tailor shop is really cute and ran by Amanda & her husband. Amanda was very sweet and had me try on my dress so she could hem the perfect length. When I told her I needed the dress by Saturday, she sweetly said "Oh my gosh! I'll call someone in tomorrow to work on it." She called me by 10am the next morning to tell me my dress was done! I just picked up my dress and it is beautiful!!! She did a perfect job!! Thank you for saving me from what could've been a very embarrassing walk down the aisle! You're the best!! On a side note, I think this business used to be called Alter Ego which also had 5 stars on yelp. Look it up for more info!

Tried to pay right then but "Amanda (and her husband) both said no, no pay when you pick it up"... so off I go. I get a call in like two days that the pants are ready... $72. I'm like what happened to the $30 I was quoted? I got an immediate attitude and when I went over there they play the amnesia game. "We have never done pants for less than $12". Well, that may be the case, but you certainly told me it was $5 each. Even if you meant each leg, it was still not what you quoted. They did decent work but the job doubled in price- buyer beware. My fault for not having her write it down at the time she quoted it. Buyer beware- avoid unless necessary.

    My husband has been going here for years with no issues, so I thought it would be a.good place to…read moretake my new wool blanket to be cleaned. However, it came back covered in long dog or cat hair. He took it back. They cleaned it again. It still had hair on it. We tried to lint roll it at home and went through 2 lint brushes trying to get the hair out. Still hair on it. I went in to nicely speak to the owner about it. She rudely stated that there's nothing they can do about and do I want my cleaning refund or not. If you have no issues, it's a great place. If there's a problem, the customer is left to deal with it. Would not recommend.

    Poor work but what made it worse was the customer service. I brought in a brand new suit on…read moreThursday to be pressed for my son's wedding. I went to pick it up on Saturday morning as scheduled. When I looked at the suit, I noticed the jacket had a crease pressed into the lapel, and as you will see in the pictures, there were other areas that look like they had just been missed in the pressing. I spoke with Julie who with her husband Andy are the owners. My family was scheduled to go out of town on Monday. Julie recognized that the jacket needed to be repressed and said that her husband Andy must not have inspected it when it was pressed. Julie said that they could get it re-pressed and either delivered to me by noon on Monday or I could pick it up from the store Monday morning by noon. She said that they would make it right. I felt that Julie was trying to do the right thing and mistakes happen. about an hour later, I got a call from Andy, her husband, who said that there was nothing wrong with the jacket, that he had pressed it himself, and that Julie, and two other customers said there was nothing wrong with the jacket. (Why other customers would be sharing their opinions is not clear to me. I think the pictures speak for themselves.). Andy also said that he couldn't get it re-pressed by Monday morning. He told me I either needed to pick up the jacket by noon on Saturday or that they would be open at eight on Monday and I could pick it up then. He said they would refund my money, but that they would not fix the problem. I told him I was not happy but he wasn't giving me any choice. I drove back on Saturday to get the jacket which ruined my planned Saturday morning breakfast with my son and family. On the way, I called Julie, told her I was coming back for the jacket,she said she had refunded the payment. I expressed to her that what really hurt was that her husband who had never seen the jacket said there was no problem when both she and I had seen the jacket and she had acknowledged there was a problem. When I got back to the store I told Julie that my breakfast with my son had been ruined. Her whole attitude had changed. She said she didn't want to hear it, what I had said was inappropriate and to get out of the store.
