I came here with two suits to alter: one for going out and having fun and one to celebrate starting a new job. This was off just having a terrible experience with some shirts getting butchered by the local dry cleaner, so I wanted a more professional take. I walked in completely clueless on a whim, tactlessly not making an appointment, and even though it was Juan's lunchbreak he still immediately took the time to see me and work with me. That said... let the man eat. Don't interrupt his break! I still feel bad about it!!! About the tailoring: Juan is just That Dude. He WILL make you look better and point out ways to make the clothes better compliment your body that others don't even know about. The pricing felt extremely fair and not at all like I was being overcharged for the amount and quality of work being done. Not only that, Juan did me a solid by getting the alterations done in-time with a big move out of state. Last minute, off of a random walk-in, and brother still treated me like I was a long time regular. And matter of fact, even though I'm going to be living down south I WILL still be getting my nicest clothing tailored by Juan. That's what his work is worth to me. 10/10 will be making sure I get my nephews' first suits tailored by him too read more

Excellent experience! Juan Cuello was incredibly professional, friendly, and attentive to every detail. He clearly takes pride in his work and made sure everything fit exactly the way I wanted. The quality of the alterations was excellent, the service was efficient, and the whole experience was easy and pleasant. It's not always easy to find a tailor you can trust in NYC, but Juan definitely earned my trust. Highly recommend him and Alterations Dot Com Tailor Shop. I'll absolutely be coming back! read more

Super helpful in hemming a pair of jeans I had that couldn't be hemmed from the bottom. Their work feels very professional, and I like that they can take on challenging tasks and tell you if things are or aren't possible. The additional 6 month guarantee is really nice as well, which might be something I'll be using out. I do wish there was a bit more pricing transparency, seemed like the price just was thought up on the spot. My situation was a bit unique, though, so it probably was. read more

If you're looking for a top-tier tailor in Midtown Manhattan, Alterations.com should be at the top of your list. Head tailor Juan Cuello is exceptionally skilled and relentlessly professional--he simply won't stop until the fit is perfect. Over the past six years, I've brought him around a dozen off-the-rack suits, and he has consistently transformed them to look and feel like high-end made-to-measure pieces. The difference in drape, balance, and overall silhouette is remarkable. I've used other tailors for alterations, but none come close to Juan's level of precision, craftsmanship, and attention to detail. He takes real pride in his work, and it shows in every finished garment. Juan is truly one of a kind. read more

I cannot recommend this tailor enough! I came in with two suits and a pair of trousers that desperately needed fitting--and on a very tight timeline before a wedding. Not only did they deliver in just a week (truly saving the day!), but the work was absolutely flawless. The fit was perfect--sharp, comfortable, and better than I imagined. On top of the craftsmanship, the tailor was personable and genuinely funny, making the whole experience enjoyable rather than stressful. It's rare to find someone with this level of skill and such a great personality. If you need a tailor who's reliable, talented, and a joy to work with, look no further. Highly recommended! read more

The owner just said I have never been there. Your shop is inside of a building where the elevator was never working. You altered a lot of pairs of pants for me. Your place is the correct place. You are very expensive and I had to come back several times because of uneven pants that you hemmed. It was you! read more

I love this place. They did a great job altering the jacket of my seersucker suit last year. They were so good I went back again for a small job on another jacket today. This time, Juan didn't even charge me. I can't say enough about this place. I'm here to stay. read more

I found Alterations Dot Com Tailor Shop through Yelp's Project feature for wedding dress alterations and my experience was great from the beginning to the end. I called same day and was able to be squeezed in right before the shop closed. Once there Juan was absolutely lovely. He took great care to make sure my dress didn't get dirty while trying it on and he gave me advice on how he can style a belt that I wanted added. He finished the alterations in about 2 weeks, the alteration price was very reasonable for a wedding dress, and the dress looks fantastic. Can't wait to update this review with photos :) read more

I recently brought in two nightgowns and a pair of jeans for alterations, and everything was completed within three days. You can tell the owner is genuinely passionate about his craft. His workspace is very clean and organized, reflecting the same care he puts into his work. Not only is he professionally dressed in a suit that fits impeccably, but his approach to serving clients also shows a deep respect for every garment. From the moment I walked in, it was a great experience. I told him I'm traveling internationally and need the work to be done in 10 days. He offered to finish In 3 days and not charging me an expedited fee, he handled some pretty complex alterations and delivered results that exceeded my expectations. Every piece was finished to perfection. Although his shop is a bit tucked away on the second floor in the building, I wholeheartedly recommend making the effort to find it--you won't regret it! I'll definitely be bringing all my future business here. The pricing is very reasonable too! read more

I browsed here in Yelp for the Best alterations place. I came across Alterations Dot Com. I spent time reading all the reviews and its pictures. With all the places that respond to me in regards to my Pink Suit, My instinct says choose Alterations dot com. The place is in Turtle Bay area. Easy to find. Inside was noticeably clean and spacious. It's best if you make an appointment. Safety protocol for COVID-19 was followed. Tailor and owner name was Juan. Expert and professional. I told him what I want in alterations and gave his expert advised. The suit came out perfect. Professionally tailored with love and precise measurements. It is one thing to give great reviews but picures tells it all. This place may cost you a bit compare to other tailor shop but one thing for sure, You will definitely be satisfied with how Juan put his effort in making you look brilliant. Your suit will look like a Million Dollar Suit. (Just kidding). I highly recommend this place. read more

overpriced. too expensive. better to buy new outfit than to alter one. no value in altering anything.

I've brought clothes to this tailor shop twice (I brought two items each time) and all of the alterations turned out great. I've had two suits, a jacket and a sports coat tailored. The items fit me much better now and they were altered pretty quickly (within 2 weeks). And the owner, Juan, is easy to work with and very good at his job. The alterations may be pricey depending on your budget. They can add up because each specific alteration to an item carries its own price (for example, if a jacket needs its length shortened, its sleeves shortened and its sides taken in for a slimmer fit, each of those alterations has a specific price). But the quality of the alterations is top notch and you're probably expecting to spend some money if you go to a tailor with a midtown location. Plus, the shop's website has a list of prices for its services, so you can estimate what your request will cost beforehand. So I recommend this shop. read more

Juan's work is outstanding. I have had several jackets altered by him to bring them up to more contemporary fashion standards (shorter hem, trimmer sleeve lines, etc) and each one has turned out perfectly. These were all high quality pieces in excellent shape, but they represented a design style from the 1990s (I'm an old guy). To replace them would have cost thousands of $$, but Juan brought them back to life for a fraction of that. I recommend him enthusiastically. read more

Juan was responsive and helpful when I needed a dress quickly altered. I had considered a few different tailors in the area and I'm so happy I chose here - the dress was ready within a couple hours, it looked great, and the price wasn't outrageous. Keep in mind I just needed a hem on a single-ply chiffon dress. read more

Dress altered and completed in just a few days! I would recommend coming back here in a heart beat. pulled up the straps and put darts to make the top fit better. He did a beautiful job read more

After receiving a poorly crafted suit from indochino (who supposedly used my measurements to make it), I was panicking to find a tailor to fix the damage. Came across Juan on Yelp and he wrote back almost immediately. Came to him on a Saturday at 10am. Mind you, he doesn't open until 10:30 but since I wasn't able to come after 10 he opened shop earlier to accommodate. Had a bunch of issues with the suit but Juan assured me everything will be just fine. Left the suit with Juan and came back the week after (always be sure to make appointments!) and wow was I amazed. Juan fixed every problem I had and I couldn't have been happier. Keep in mind Juan has a 2 year alteration warranty, NO QUESTIONS ASKED. If you gain weight lost weight or just decide that you want to alter something, Juan has your back. Now, Juan will always be part of my suit journey. A good tailor is just as important as having a good barber. So please do not try to cut corners to save money on a tailor. Cutting corners in alterations will indeed lead to a pair of pants being ripped when you sit. Thanks Juan !! read more

Juan is a very kind soul. He was able to make alterations to my dog's rain suit. Most tailors would not do the job because it was for a dog and not a human. We have a very big dog and most of the rain outfits are way too small on her. Juan was able to make the rain suit we liked bigger. Living in NYC rain gear is a must and we are grateful he was able to make the alterations. The business space is also very clean and well kept. read more

Juan is incredible! I had a very last minute tailoring need for my wedding second look dress. It was way too long and too loose in the waist. He did an amazing job shortening and taking in my dress to make it perfect in record time. He is so reliable and made the dress perfectly fitted to me. I would definitely trust him with any of your tailor needs. I will be going back and telling everyone I know!! read more

Just picked up my suit - Juan is a gifted man! This suit was taken well care of and is a beautiful piece of art. If art galleries contained suits, they would only contain Juan's work! I'll be back again. Thank you very much! - Joseph Ramirez read more

The best tailor service in the city. I have been going there for more than two years now, following them to different locations they had. Juan is amazing, he is patient and able to understand what a customer wants. The service is fast and you receive all the attentions you deserve. You can definitely bring in that item you want to wear but needs some alterations! I definitely recommend! read more

Juan is amazing. Is he cheap? No. Is he affordable? Absolutely. High value for the price. I have paid more money at Alterations.com to get an item tailored than what the item originally cost me. Best thing is to learn to accept this - its about valuing workmanship and labor. Your clothing was originally made by mass production in an assembly line, to a few standard sizes. Juan and his team make your clothing look great on you. I ordered a dress from Europe, couldn't get the sizing right, and it was too tight in the rib cage. Juan magically found extra fabric in this dress, redid the seams, and it feels great. He's a miracle worker. Shirt - Bought a button down shirt with a collar that fit great in the shoulders, but otherwise was too big. He did his magic, now I can wear it under a suit jacket or by itself, looks great. Pants - he knew exacltly what to do with the hem for maximum flexibility. And he is so nice! The atrium at 805 is a big cavernous, looks like its from another era. Make a right off the escalator, you'll find Juan! read more

This place is the real deal. Honest and passionate for what he does. Saved me a bunch of times in recent weeks due to accidental damages I caused myself. But they were able to take me in and helped get my shirts fixed and tailored perfectly in short time. New clients might get thrown ofd by them having their website "alterations.com" which i thought was some commercial chain. However, this place is as bespoke and personalized as they come. read more

There are so many good things to say about Juan and this business. As soon as you walk in, you notice how clean the store is. When you see Juan and see the tailored suit that he's wearing himself, you know that he's serious about his craft. On top of that, he is also incredibly friendly and attentive. I came to Juan with a pair of suit pants that I wanted hemmed and tapered. I'm not good at verbalizing what I want when it comes to tailoring so I brought him a picture of what I wanted. He observed the photo for a few seconds and immediately knew what to do. After determining the hem length, he was incredibly thorough with how he was going to taper the pants, looking at it from all possible angles. He asked about how I thought it looked and he also offered insight into what he felt looked right. I picked up my alterations today and they fit EXACTLY like how it looked in the picture that I showed him. He even had the suit waiting for me in the fitting room before I showed up, which shows that he's prepared for every client. I would 100% come back here to get more tailoring done. ----------- Logistic Info Juan works with his clients by appointment so that he can give you his undivided attention. Appointments are easy to make on his website (which is also really nice). When he's done doing his measurements of your clothing, he accepts your payment (cash/credit), and then schedules your next appointment for you to come pick up your clothes. When you pick up your clothes, he'll have you try them on again to make sure you like what you see and he also answers any questions. I had my measurements done on a Monday and I picked up my clothes on Friday in the same week. read more

At 25 years old, I had never had a suit tailored and really wasn't sure what the experience would even entail. So I took to my trusty Yelp app to find some places in NYC and using Request a Quote, sent a message to Alterations.com to see what it would cost to have my suit jacket and pants altered. This place - pricey, though not sure what the standard for alterations is - has become my go-to in the city for all of my suit tailoring needs. The reviews don't lie. You can book an appointment through their website (and you should, because they will give you a discount) so you can bring in your suit and have a free consultation. The space is in a suite in Midtown and is nothing fancy, but that's not important. JD took my measurements and made sure to ask questions, to show me pictures of what my suit could look like, to make sure I was comfortable with what he was doing, and I felt confident a.) he knew garment construction and b.) my suit was going to look its best after we were done. Once you're done with that, they'll give you a date for when you need to pick it up and you'll pay. I brought my suit in on a Tuesday morning and told him I needed it by Sunday, so he assured me it would be ready on Thursday to no extra charge. When I picked it up, I tried on my suit again and was so happy with how it looked. The best part? They have a lifetime guarantee on their work, so if you gain weight, want a different style, etc. they'll alter it for free. For a bunch of work to my suit jacket and pants, the total came out to around $250, which is definitely worth it to me. ***Make sure to book your appointment on their website and check in on Yelp to get about $20 off your total***. I'm super happy with my experience and my new suit, and will definitely be back in the future. read more

He did an amazing job shortening and taking in my dress to make it perfect in record time. Overall good.

Juan and his team were amazing and provided such a refreshing experience. Juan really walked me through what to look for in the right fit. I tried my suit on at the pick up and I was already happy and Juan said "No! It's not right" and they stayed late to make a last minute adjustment, which I did not notice. Thanks again to Juan and the Team for a really amazing experience. read more

They were able to fix my item in a timely manner. Friendly man with decades of experience. I will go back.

What a great experience this was! I'm having three pairs of work pants hemmed and the tailor could not have made the process run more smoothly if he'd tried. Reasonably priced and a solid turnaround time (less than $110 for three pairs and a one week turnaround). Can't beat it! Looking forward to continuing to utilize their services. One thing I'd note: turn up the AC-- it was really hot and humid in the store. read more

Omg I am so happy with the work. Just fantastic. Initially, I only wanted to taper the bodice and bring in the waist but the dress still didn't look right. We realized I wasn't wearing the dress it was wearing me so after consultation Juan showed me that with more emphasis on shoulder it would balance my hip. That was the special touch it needed. He added a beautiful shoulder detail with pleat in the sleeve that complimented the waist gathering and tapered the side seams to create waist shape. Also the sleeves were shortened and the center front v raised for more modesty. Essentially Juan made this #BA&SH dress even more glamorous. Thanks for rushing it so I could wear it for my anniversary dinner. Juan is such a craftsman. Thank you. read more

I'm very happy with this organization's follow through as I was already happy with the quality of their work. The owner reached out to me during his personal time in regards to a suit jacket that wasn't originally completed to entire 100pct satisfaction even though I was okay with accepting and paying for what I had gotten. Even after I told him it wasn't that big of a problem, just a minor set back, he made sure that my garment was taken care and even more impressing was that he provided this level of customer service while half way across the world on a personal trip. He had personally saw that the project was done to specification and fitted me with it and went even further to ensure that I continually come back to the alterations.com read more

I recently had a new and pretty expensive shirt ruined by a different cleaner, who returned the shirt with two large tears on the sleeve. I brought the shirt to alterations.com on 545 5th Avenue. The guys here were extremely professional and did a great job repairing the shirt as much as possible given the circumstances. The shirt came back with the large tear hidden well, and they suggested other alterations to the shirt which made it fit better & look better than it did to start with, as well as hide the tears more. Very professional and high-quality service, would happily recommend these guys to others. read more

I'd been using Juan for years prior to Covid for pretty much everything. Now, 3.5 years later, my daughter was getting married and no tux fit right. So I knew what to do: buy a good tux with a decent shape and bring it to Juan to do his magic on the jacket and pants (including narrowing the legs). I also had him alter the tux shirt to make it snug and perfect sleeve length. Well, Juan once again killed it, making both pieces fit like a glove! I was the hit of the wedding (well, after my daughter and wife lol), and I got more compliments on my tuxedo and shirt than I could count. It felt pretty good as an older man to still get compliments, and it really was all due to Juan's magical skills. Thanks Juan! read more

New management, same great service, quality & best-in-class warranty. Juan always takes care of me and is always professional/punctual. Prices are reasonable and what makes it the best value I've seen in NYC is the warranty. If you gain weight, lose weight, clothes shrinks, etc. they won't nickel & dime you. Juan aims to build a long-term relationship with clients and he's taken care of several of my jeans, slacks, dress shirts, coats and business suits. Picked up a pair of pants (that I've had revised 3x times for no extra charge) this past weekend and the slim fit I requested was perfect. read more

I've had the luxury of getting my clothes altered for free because my mother is a seamstress. When I bought my anniversary dress to her to get fixed before my vacation she told me no. She didnt have time. That's where Alterations com came into the picture and they did NOT disappoint. I dropped off my dress on Wed and it was ready that Saturday. It fit perfectly not to mention the service was courteous and professional. They are worth every penny and I highly recommend them. read more

These guys give great service. They treat each client the same whether you're an Hollywood A-lister or a random Joe Blow on the street (like me). Bottled water is offered as you wait. They try to keep to the appointment as much as possible but always caters to you if you're a few minutes late or early. I had a suit tailored that required alterations on three parts of the jacket. Needed it tucked and cuffs shortened. I also had my pants shortened as well. During my first fitting after the alterations, the pants were a little short so they had to add another half inch without a problem. The suit and fit came out great. For all the alterations done, it cost $150. With the yelp check-in discount, it came out to $138. Small price to pay to look good for a wedding. These guys are professionals and I will never go anywhere else for alterations. read more
