I've had a suit and a work uniform tailored by Simon. Both were tailored perfectly. I had my toddler-age daughter with me on my most recent visit to pick up a work uniform. Simon gave my daughter a Lego set which we built together later that day. Such a nice gesture. Simon's prices are on par for the area and his work is flawless. I'll definitely be returning in the future. read more

He is a very good tailor. He does not interact with you but he is good at his craft. My biggest complaint is he doesn't keep his posted office hours. You drive over to drop off or pick something up and he isn't open. I find this frustrating enough that sometimes I just want to find someone else. read more

Got here at 10:00 when they were supposed to open. It's now 10:20 an no one is here. Can't wait any longer. read more

Be Simon's Tailoring - No one in business 20 min after opening time. - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - Newport Beach, California

DO NOT GO HERE! I requested tailoring (very simple pants tailoring job) Not only did it come out to be just about $50.00 which is incredibly over priced the service was god awful. The man working (I assume is the owner?) DOES NOT REALLY SPEAK TO YOU. Hello? HE just grunted and motioned for my receipt so he could get my item. The interior of the store is very cluttered and awkward. There are so many more tailors in the area, literally pick any one of them. I, of course and my partner will not be going back. read more

Simon is simply an excellent tailor. We are always so happy with his work. Thank you, Simon, for your gift.

SIMON is the BEST. A Surgeon of his craft. He is meticulous, exceptional, creative with an upbeat & charming presence.

This was the worst tailoring experience I've ever had. The second I walked in he treated me like I was an inconvenience to him and he was so annoyed I even walked in. I got in the dressing room and there were needles all over the ground and he had me stand on a small book in heels to do the dress hem. Charged me $100+ for a simple dress hem on top of it. He was so rude I'm still dumbfounded about this experience. Avoid at all costs. read more

I have been twice now for tailoring pants for work and not only were they finished on time, but the fit was perfect as well.

Simon is spectacular tailor altogether! Hes very experienced (I believe he used to work at Nordstrom), creative, reasonably priced reliable & efficient. Simon has altered many of my dresses & skirts as well as pants bathing suits shorts for our 2 young adult kids. Friends who have gone to Simon love his work- he's a nice person with fun personality. He works very hard and does high quality detailed work. Simon found complimentary fabric for a memory blanket I had ordered online. He shopped for fabric and sent me pictures of options. His shop is off S. Bristol just south of Jamboree. Give him a call or stop by during open hours. Michele E. Harr read more

Here's my experience with Simon's tailoring services. I needed a suit tailored for a wedding and decided to take it to Simon three weeks prior to the event. I was told it would be ready by Monday. When I showed up on Monday, Simon informed me that he had forgotten about it and it wasn't ready. He then promised it would be done by Wednesday morning. I came back first thing Wednesday, but the suit still wasn't ready. Simon asked me to return at 7 PM that evening. Frustrated, I returned later that evening, and finally, the suit was ready. Simon apologized for the delay and didn't charge me, which I appreciated. However, on the wedding day, when I put on the suit, it was a disaster. The suit was barely tailored. It looked like all he did was hem the pants, and even that was poorly done--the pants were too short, making it look like I was preparing for a flood. It was embarrassing. The groom was also upset because he wanted all his groomsmen to look their best, and I stood out for all the wrong reasons. read more

Simon is the BEST!! He is affordable and always on time for my last minute alterations!! Super nice guy too and has an eye for the best fit.

100 stars, Simon is THE BEST. He's extremely detail oriented and has done everything from simple hems, to fixing ripped clothing, tapering jeans, to completely transforming formal outfits and sewing in thin padded cups so I don't have to wear a bra with fancy dresses. He is a craftsman and I recommend him to everyone. Love the plants and Lakers decor as well - I wish he had a tv show, he's always so interesting. Love him! read more

I don't think I've ever given a review on Yelp before but I had to come on here and say how amazingly talented and reliable Simon is and if you are looking for a tailor for all your tailoring needs look no further. I have been coming to Simon for 13+ years now and he does not just "fix" your clothing, he beautifully transforms your clothing items like a work of art. If you want that custom tailored look that the movie stars get, that's what he gives you. I bring him every suit jacket/blazer I buy and he makes them look so much better and he custom tailors my dresses. One time I had a bridesmaid dress to wear that was 5 sizes too big and he turned it into the most beautiful gown fitting every curve perfectly and all the other bridesmaids wanted to know who my tailor was and I got so many compliments. Everyone I tell about Simon has loved him and continued to use his services (my coworkers, friends and family). Thank you Simon for your talent! read more

Dishonest and poor communication. I was originally told to pickup on Monday, when Monday came I tried to call multiple times to ensure it was ready. I got no answer and decided to drive there anyways. When I arrived I was told to pickup later on Tuesday. When I picked up the items he told me 3x what I was originally quoted. As soon as I questioned it he went back to his original price. read more

I have been going to Simon for about 7 years now for alterations and all sorts of adjustments, he is great. From formal dresses to baggy dad jeans he does it all perfectly. read more

Be Simon is a tailoring genius. He is very focused on his craft. He did a great job shortening the sleeves on my leather jacket and adding a pocket. read more

I recently moved to Costa Mesa, and I was informed by a local that this place is the best of the best. I have now been getting my tailoring done for over a year with Simon and he is one of the best tailors I have ever had. He is so intuitive and knowledgeable with what needs to be done he gives you confidence, no matter the project. He has handled a full breadth of wardrobe for me, including high end, designer, formal gowns. These gowns include Bagley, Mishka, Faviana and etc. And he is great value and a generous person. I highly recommend this place! read more

Worst taylor in O.C. Not cheap at all. He gives you a quote about the alterations according to his mood and the weather outside. No explanation about it. Bring your stuff somewhere else if you don't want to see your clothes ruined because he doesn't do anything according to your indications but according to what HE thinks it's the best for your jacket, pants etc. The good reviews you see here are probably 90% fake. Never ever again. Go somewhere else. read more

Value Wow Simon is the best tailor ever! I drove all the way from San Diego to come see him for his expertise! He is amazing at improvising on the spot. I have Items that need special detail, for instance these pair of jeans were too small and he was actually was able to alter them to fit me! By adding in the side black inlays extending them so they fit my hips as you see in the pictures below. Of course my dog sat on the jeans when I laid them down to take a picture! I've already left new items for him to do and I am happy to take the drive to support his little shop and his amazing work! No less I left my sunglasses there and he had them attached to my clothes when I picked them up! He's super fun to chat with as well! read more

Simon is the best in town. He is very reliable in his own business. I'm happy customer. I highly recommended Simon!!

Normally, I really like this place. Fair prices, does a good job, he isn't the most friendly person but he does a good job so honestly I don't care. I'm docking off a star today because his store is supposed to be open from 10am-4pm on Saturday. I told Simon I was going to pick up my jeans on Saturday. I get here at 10:20ish and the store is closed. Super disappointed, I just wish this had been communicated that he was planning on not being in today and I wouldn't have driven 30 minutes out here. read more

Literally the best tailor ever- highly recommend. Been coming here since forever and will never see another tailor again.

I can't explain to you the amount of love this man gives to his craft and clients. He is a man of few words but the biggest heart! He is very good at what he does and I travel to him for loyalty Bc he's that good. This man is the real deal! From suits tapered, jeans detailed, to layered formal dresses hemmed. He has worked with famous names and won't discuss it Bc he is so humble! read more

Best tailor I ever used due to his creativity and ability to listen and solve my complicated fitting and re-design challenges. I am very petite yet ling waisted and ling legged fir my height. Clothes don't always fit me. I LOVE Simon!! There is never a challenge too great for him. From seeing my sock jokes and re-edging my wool scarf that THF new puppy has bitten through and tore through to too long crotch on jumpsuit and too long blazer with moving buttons to make room for ample bust. He is a God-send. He is always professional, on time, friendly and really a perfectionist at his job! He takes great pride in his work. So happy I found him! read more

I had a bridesmaids dress I needed last minute alterations on. I brought my dress to Simon on Saturday and needed it to be done by Wednesday. I arrive at his shop and make it very clear that I need it done by Wednesday as my flight out of town to the wedding is Thursday morning. He assures me it will be done by Wednesday at 6pm. I arrive at 6pm to his shop Wednesday and he tells me he forgot about the dress and had not done it. I told him I was leaving the next morning for a flight at 11:30am and the earliest time I could pickup was 10am tomorrow which is the time his shop is supposed to open. He tells me it will be done and I can pickup at 10am. On my way to his shop before the airport on Thursday morning at 9:50am, I call to make sure he is meeting me. I get no response from him and he does not answer the phone. I arrive at the shop at 10am right before my 11:30am flight and Simon is no where to be found. I wait until 10:25 and he walks inside slowly without hurry. I tell him I am about to miss my flight as he is almost a half hour later than the time he said he would meet me and he just looks at me. I almost had to leave without my dress to make my flight. This man has absolutely no communication skills and is extremely unprofessional. Will never be going back. read more

Simon is the most talented alteration guy out there. He can fix pretty much anything and beautifully! Nicest person and always so positive. He has become my friend now and I have referred him to all my friends. His price are fair & there is always a line of loyal customers that show up behind me. He will speak his truth and tell you NO NEED to alter if he think you don't need it. There should be more people like Simon in this world. Thanks Simon for the great job always read more

The best tailor in town. Highly recommend him. He always suggests better ways to alter things and his work is always top notch.

I came in yesterday and brought in three jeans with broken zippers. Simon fixed all of them on the spot! He's a very nice, quiet guy. One of my jeans zippers broke open again when I got home (a brand new pair of jeans with a cheap zipper, ugh) so I brought it back in today and Simon replaced the zipper for me for free, and fixed it on the spot. He's seriously so great! I will for sure be returning to him. He's a master of his craft! read more

YOU ABSOLUTELY HAVE TO TAKE ALL YOUR TAILORING TO SIMON AT BE SIMON'S TAILORING! His level of expertise and professionalism is to die for! The time he didn't charge me for a quick hem on a pair of pants was so unnecessary, but TRULY APPRECIATED! Again, just yesterday, I stopped by his shop with my daughter's leather jacket needing a button repair. When he finished and was not going to charge, I refused and left my cash for him on the counter. When my daughter saw the replaced button, she mentioned how it was reinforced with a tiny bit of elastic. I wondered what extra steps Simon was taking when replacing the button. He is a magician with his craft. You NEED to see for yourself. He is located next to Srgt. Pepperoni's on Bristol Street. Either in Newport Beach or Costa Mesa (I'm not sure). :) Amy Medina read more

Came here with my boyfriend to get his jeans tailored. It was recommended by one of his client's. He wanted the jeans to have the original hem, but Simon asked how he would be wearing the pants, with or without shoes and explained the need for original hem and if it was what he wanted. He could have easily agreed to his request and charged him more for that specific service, but he wanted him to be happy and practical with the results. I appreciate that they don't try and take advantage of you. My boyfriend's jeans were able to be picked up the next day and they looked great! I will definitely return to this place to get my items tailored now too. read more

Whoever said the price is reasonable was pretty loaded. For the average person, I would not recommend this place just for the price point. I came in for three pants to be cut in length, a relatively simple and cheap practice back home (and I feel anywhere). I didn't ask for some complicated alteration, just literally cut the length of three pairs of pants. That's it. When it came to the price he was charging $15 per pants or $45 total. In disbelief I asked again how much it would all cost because the Yelp reviews said his prices were reasonable. He was kind enough to drop the price to $40, but I'm probably never going to come back here. You cannot justify the price being $15 for something like that. I don't even want to know what his price points are for anything else. Additionally, he has no signs or anything stable in terms of price points per given alteration. It just seems to be whatever he's feeling given time constraints. But to give you a price point of comparison, this was my experience and the price I paid for this kind of alteration over the course of a 1 week turnaround. You decide what to do given this information. read more

Simon is absolutely amazing. I came in with several pantsuits and the dilemma of which size to get altered. He was very patient and gave me frank advice about what would be the most flattering and appropriate for me. He then finished alterations way ahead of when I had expected them to be completed, and the work he did was phenomenal and cost what I think is more than reasonable. Some people may have expectations for Walmart level prices to get boutique level services, but I would rather fairly compensate Simon for the level of skill he has. I have already recommended him to my friends and coworkers! read more

He is absolutely the best around! He can fix, alter, redesign anything you bring to him. He's a perfectionist. If it isn't worth altering, he won't alter. Everything he does looks amazing! Thank you Simon! read more

Brought in a simple white dress shirt to be fitted to my tall, slim body. The shirt was already slim fit to begin with, jsut needed a little tightening up. I am not too happy with the result, as the bottom of the shirt is still flaring outward. Not to mention the cost. I paid $32 for this alteration that should have been no more than $20. Won't be returning here. A refund would be appreciated. read more

Be Simon is my new to go to for absolutely everything!!!! He's talented in his field, efficient timelines on his work and price is pretty reasonable for Newport Beach. Be Simon's work is always a cut above others work in this field. He does not take short cuts. He does it right!!!! I've referred many people now to him. A+ read more

Simon is a very nice, sweat and professional tailor. He always alters my clothes to perfection. Highly recommend this place :)

Be is the best tailor in OC with affordable prices. I love that he takes his time and has great attention to detail. He even tailored my friend's wedding dress which fit like a glove! Highly recommend! read more

I've come here a couple of times now and have always been happy with the results. Tailoring is quick, quality, and at a good cost. Will be back for any other tailoring needs I have. read more

I love Simon. He doesn't talk much, but he is super focused and has an eye to detail. I sew, and I even have a serger, but I do creative things and don't want to do the routine stuff. Simon is my go-to guy to get my off-the-rack clothes to fit better, be hemmed, or even make copies of simple favorites I have. I highly recommend him. read more

This guy is rude. I walked in and he didn't even say hello, and he pointed to the dressing room for me to try on my dress. He tried to talk me out of the alterations I wanted for my dress. Charged me $100 for a hem, tighten straps, and to take in the top sides of my dress. When I picked up my dress it was still to long and he didn't want to make it shorter but I insisted that's what I wanted. Also when I went to pick up my dress during his hours the store was closed. There were people waiting outside for their things. The alterations look great but unfortunately, I will never go there again. read more
