    Original Hem on my jeans that were too long. Looks great and they were professional.
    Christopher C.

    Did a great job of hemming my jeans with original hem. They were professional and prompt.

    Uneven hem and terribly poor stitching.
    Nora B.

    I brought 2 very expensive dresses here to be hemmed. To be clear when I say expensive, I mean $1k+ designer gowns you keep for many years and wear many times. One came out perfectly, the other was such a hot mess I don't know whether to laugh, cry, or vomit. The problem is that the dress is full length, Etro, jersey print and it has been cut. The back is a full 2+ inches shorter than the front. Not only that, the stitching is horrendous. I can only imagine that one dress was done by the tailor himself, and that the other was sent out. I really wish I had waited until my usual tailor returned from vacation, but this tailor got such high reviews I wanted to give them a try. I saw several men there having suits fitted and that seems to be their specialty. If you value your dresses, take them elsewhere.

    Check out the elementary job of sewing the inside sleeve on my suit jacket!

    I found Tina earlier this year when I wanted to close a slit I had on my graduation dress. When I…read morepicked up my dress from her, I couldn't even tell where the original slit was. Her work is so good! Recently, I came back to get my bridesmaid dress hemmed and it was perfect. A few days later I noticed a stain and didn't know where it came from. So I messaged Tina regarding the stain and how to remove it, and she let me come in on her day off to remove it. (I was too scared to do it myself, in case I potentially made it worse). It's looks brand new again! I was seriously stressing with my friends wedding in less than 20 days! Thank you Tina!!!

    Brides Beware: I am going to make this review as kind as I can...but for brides who need to get…read moredresses altered I do not recommend coming to Tina's. Please go somewhere else. I am also writing this knowing there will be a reply blaming me somehow, and I truly just want to help another person who has never been to tailor before. I came to Tina's looking to hem my dress, adjust the waist, and adjust the top of the dress. It seemed like a complicated series of alterations so the price of 500$ seemed justified - especially if Tina was the expert. I read reviews and pictures looked fantastic. I am a bride on a budget for a small backyard wedding. When I came to pickup my dress I tried it on and the bustle looked great. The waist seemed perfect and while the top felt weird I blamed my undergarments. I should have brought someone with me. People also tell you to not freak out if the dress fits a little different compared to when it was clipped at the bridal store, so I paid in full. After trying it on in my room again days later...something did not feel right and I decided to get a second opinion from a bridal salon. After their head seamstress looked at the dress on me she recommended I ask for a refund. She was shocked and claimed it was unacceptable alterations. The hem IS COMPLETELY uneven. I did not notice but one side is higher while the other touches the ground. Not only this but the top needs to be redone. My dress is going to be extremely difficult to fix, and overall I will be paying more than the price of the dress just to make it not look embarrassing. I am a non-confrontational person and I am not asking for a refund; but I am only writing this so that if you are like me and on a budget trying to make your life easier, just suck it up and go to a boutique. Bridalzilla is a term everyone wants to avoid but I wish I followed my gut. If your alteration is complicated go somewhere else. Looking back there were several things that should have made me leave: 1. She is working from her home so it can be awkward. 2. I was not correctly measured 3. Pins at the hem did not go around the entire dress. 4. Several people showed up at the time I was told to arrive. Things were awkward and I felt rushed

    I have brought several items to them during prepandemic times and most recently, and their service…read morehas always been impeccable with reasonable prices and short turnaround around time. I brought a cheap floor length trench coat to them and asked them to build me an inner lining so it would become slightly more wind proof. I knew it was going to be a challenging job since it would likely mean partially deconstructing/taking apart the jacket so the inner lining can be attached from the inside. Within 3 weeks worth of time, they had sewn in this beautiful silky satin lining with matching color. I wore it over my sweater and long sleeve shirt in a brisk afternoon, and sure enough having the extra lining completely helped! I also asked them to hem several pairs of thrift store pants with frayed edges. They did a beautiful job with picking out matching thread for hemline without significantly shortening the length. During my pick up I gave them additional jobs to repair several moth holes I discovered in a couple of wool items, including a beautiful tweed blanket I bought from Falkland Islands (I almost donated it). While I eagerly await to receive these items back I am confident that their work will continue to showcase the fine craftsmanship they always deliver. I cannot recommend this place enough! Their location is close to the Montgomery BART/MUNI station which is ideal esp if you're dropping off before or after work, coming from East Bay. The entrance is a bit hard to find but just make sure you ring the right door bell and they will buzz you in.

I would've gone too short, and she insisted I not do that. She was right, and I'm so grateful she cared enough to ensure I had the right length, not the wrong length I thought I needed. She knows what she's doing! They are quick and very reasonably priced. I am only coming here from now on.

I was taken aback by her continued kindness. There are plenty of kind people out there, thank you for being one of them. I will definitely be checking them out for my future alteration and dry cleaning.

    This was my first time ever having something dry cleaned. I called and spoke with Jay about a…read moretuxedo jacket I needed dry cleaned. I let him know I had worn it for the first time on 5/26/25 for a wedding, about five hours straight. There was no damage or visible stains, but the inside of the jacket, specifically the armpit area, had a little deodorant/sweat odor from wearing it for hours. Jay reassured me they could take care of it. I had originally gone to another place first, I walked into SF Green Clean, which said they couldn't remove armpit sweat odor with dry cleaning. (To be fair, the woman I spoke with there was very sweet, so no complaints on her customer service.) That's how I ended up at Sonia's Dry Cleaners. Jay told me they'd be able to handle it, and if I wasn't satisfied after the first attempt, they'd clean it again at no extra charge. He mentioned if needed there were other chemicals they could use to get a smell out if needed/depending on the material of the jacket and that prices would vary if needed, but he looked at it and quoted me when I dropped it off for $25. I dropped it off on 5/28/25 with no rush order. When I picked it up on 6/9/25 and checked it, the odor was still present. I went back inside and spoke with Mary at the front--she was VERY kind. I pointed out the specific area I was hoping they could focus on, and she told me it would be ready by 6/12/25 and that they'd call or text me when it was done. On pickup day, I called ahead and spoke with Jay again. He was EXTREMELY kind and made it clear they truly wanted to earn my business. He even said they'd be willing to clean it a third or fourth time if necessary. That level of care and professionalism really stood out. I expected I might have to ask for a refund or run into a problem, but instead, the whole interaction was handled smoothly and respectfully. When I picked up the jacket, the smell in the armpit area was completely gone. It looked and smelled brand new, bagged and ready for the next event. It was in a clear bagged packaging and had a metal copper hanger (the copper hanger was encased in a wrapped paper like material but seeing the metal iron worried me because I've had old copper hangers rust/leave the copper residue on materials, thankfully this one didn't, but I also assume since it's wrapped that it's not meant to be hanging on it long term, but just an observation for someone who might worry like I do) I was originally leaning toward a 3-star rating because I had to return for a second cleaning and didn't receive the call/text updates I was told to expect (Mary did mention their system may have been down). But their exceptional customer service, especially the way Jay and Mary handled everything completely won me over. That extra effort earned the business 4 stars. (The dock was having to come back in due to it looking/smelling the same which was mentioned my main concern, and them not contacting me when they said it'd be ready both times) I don't know the price of more dry cleaning items but thankfully I don't do dry cleaning so often. I'll definitely be back and will update my review after my next visit. Thank you!

I first met Sandra about two years ago when I needed a rushed alteration on a complicated designer dress. She was incredibly meticulous and made it fit me perfectly. Since then, she's done many alterations for me and created several custom pieces for my wedding and bridal events. She made my bridal reception dress inspired by Vivienne Westwood, altered my actual Westwood ceremony dress, and designed my fully custom rehearsal look, along with two sexy black dresses, one for my bachelorette and one for New Year's Eve. She just gets it. Everything fits beautifully, feels considered, and is executed at a really high level. Sandra is skilled, attentive, and genuinely enjoyable to work with.
