Blessed with a fun-sized proportional body, majority of all my dress pants have to be hemmed. My…read morenormal alterations lady went on vacation so I was forced to search the city for a basic hem service. This is my story. One particular day, I called about seven dry cleaning and alterations stores and they either replied with a kind "don't-do-that-here", "it will take 2 weeks for completed service", one didn't answer...Then my last call to a well-known dry cleaning place picked up. (Side rant, why did it have to be my seventh call?!?, why couldn't it had been my first call", talk about endurance being tested...). Unfortunately, they too couldn't complete the service in the time I wanted HOWEVER, they recommended Gino's Tailors on Lee Trevino. I drove to Gino's place which is TUCKED in a corner of a strip mall across the high school. Walked in (with a mask of course) and waited for the older gentleman to finish helping his young clients up front. This gave me comfort knowing that there's some public support for this particular location. If I didn't see some sort of foot traffic, I would probably be nervous about giving them my business, you know what I mean? My turn. At the counter I explained what I needed done and seeing as he looked experienced with his "widgets" on his wrist and his measuring tape around his neck, I figured I challenged him with an extra service request: add belt loops to my dress pants. I tried both pants on and he marked all the necessary marks on the fabric. Odd thing, he didn't pin the pants would needles. I thought that was a default thing you do since "my lady" often does it. He gave me ticket and I was in and out real quick. The whole service : two dress pants hemmed and added belt loops to one of the pants. Total $30.00. This is affordable as most hemming services are about $15/pants. Also like to add that I dropped it off on a Wednesday and it was ready to picked up on a Friday. So affordable and quick! At pick up, I was very pleased with the stitching and the added belt loops! To end my long story short, would I recommend this location? Absolutely!

We had some pants that needed to be hemmed and after over a month and 4 visits, we asked for our pants back since he never got to them. Every time we would go, he would state that he would place them on the table to get them done ASAP. We would go back and they still weren't finished. The last time and I do mean the last time we were there, the customer before us was also not happy and told him she had been going there for years but she would never go back. That makes 2 of us.

I picked up my shirts and they still had stains on all the collars, on all of my shirts. It's as if they just took the shirts and hung them back up and then gave them back to me on the pick up date. When I dropped the shirts off, I specifically pointed out the stains on the collars and ask they be treated. I don't understand how this is so difficult because my podunk dry cleaner in Hawaii was able to take care of these shirts with no problems, consistently, and we live on an island with limited resources. You get one chance to get it right. If you can't even provide the service as requested, then that's it. You know it's bad when I have to take time out of my busy schedule to write a review like this. Every time I see my shirts hanging on the rack with the stains on them, it bugs me enough to warn people about the lack of service this establishment provides.

Proximity makes it easy, but there is another tailor across the street - if it were that terrible. I left some items to get items sewn on. They had a plan to have the work done and ready for pickup within 7 days. The items were ready when I came to recover them and I had the next item ready to drop off - for pickup in another week. The true test is what I get back this second time. I left an AGSU jacket for a patch sew on. If you know the belt is probably the most important piece of that jacket... you lose the belt, you can assure yourself of having to get another jacket. Anyways, mine is sewn onto the jacket... I took a photo, if I don't get it back, we might "have a problem, Houston." Sarah worked the desk when I came in, and she was very helpful in getting my items to me. She also helped me hunt down my unit insignias for the shoulders. So, I was impressed by the friendliness and courtesy shown me by the staff on the two times I've been. PROTIP: If you remove your own old patches and velcro, you will save yourself some cash, as there is a charge to remove those items before sewing the items you do want on. Parking is a little weird, if you approach from the north, you may have to navigate around the building to get access to the parking lot. So far, I'm pleased with this sew shop.
