I met Jessica on 6/10 needing two dresses hemmed up for a wedding in September…read more We had our fitting scheduled for 6/11 but it was rescheduled on her end for 6/20. We had the fitting at her home where she conducts her business. She was very friendly in person. On 9/9 I texted her asking if she had time to fit another dress in for a hem job to be completed by 9/29 as I was going on vacation and wanted to wear the new dress I bought, knowing it was only a few weeks- I asked if a last minute hem was possible, she said it was and we arranged for it to be dropped off 9/10. I picked up my initial two dresses 9/25 with no problem and confirmed the third would be ready 9/29. On 9/29 I messaged asking when I could come by to pick up the dress to which she replied she had not started it and could have it done by 9/30. I was unable to pick up 9/30 as my flight left the country then. So I told her I'd pick it up when I got back into town- disappointed I wouldn't have my dress but not the end of the world. I got back into town and texted 10/17 asking when I could get the dress. I didn't receive a reply, I messaged a week later 10/23 when I could get the dress, and if it wasn't ready I still wanted it (at this point it had been almost a month since it was initially due to be done). She replied that I could come 10/24 to get the dress, and asked "if she was able to hem it, did I want her to do so". After almost a month of having my dress she hadn't even touched it yet, despite her offering to have it done by 9/30 I told her if she hadn't started it don't worry about it- I'll come get it anyways, planning to take it elsewhere. She messaged me 10/24 telling me she did in-fact end up hemming it and I picked it up that day. While she did apologize over text for not having it done by the due date back on 9/29, she did not mention or apologize in person for it being a month late I understand the fall is considered "wedding" season but over-committing and not meeting pick-up dates despite assuring it would be fine, and not even doing the hem until the night before I told you I wanted to pick it up is super frustrating. Communication wasn't great either, often waiting awhile to hear back over texts despite it being her preferred method of communication. While my first experience was good and everything was done in time, the second experience did leave a bad feeling about going back for future alteration needs.

I cannot recommend Valentina enough! Valentina is a true master of her craft--her work is…read moreimpeccable, and my experience with her was nothing short of amazing. I contacted her a few weeks before my elopement after realizing my dress needed hemming. She called me back immediately and fit me into her schedule the next day. During both our phone and office consultations, it was clear she genuinely cares about her clients. She completed the alteration in just a few days, which was such a relief during the busy wedding prep. When I later asked if she could adjust the back length, she kindly accommodated me without hesitation. Even fitting me in on her day off to make sure everything was perfect. The final result absolutely blew me away. What I thought was impossible, Valentina made happen, and I was nearly in tears seeing my dream dress brought to life. Valentina's skill, flexibility, and genuine kindness are unmatched. I will be bringing all my future alteration needs to her. If you're looking for the best, look no further, you'll be so glad you chose Valentina!

I initially found them after posting an…read morealterations project on Yelp, and Jimmy C responded super quickly with helpful info about when their alterations expert would be available. He also provided pricing upfront, which I found very reasonable. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with friendly smiles! Since moving here this past September, I've been searching for a reliable dry cleaning and alterations spot -- and I think I may have found it. Morgan took care of my dry cleaning ($6 per garment prepaid -- love that!), and Michael helped me with my alterations. He was incredibly helpful in walking me through what was needed, what could realistically be done, and even left the pins in a few garments so I could go home, think it over, and move around in them before giving the green light. I really appreciated that thoughtful approach since I'm still on the fence about altering a couple items I didn't spend much on to begin with. Turnaround times are also great -- dry cleaning by tomorrow and alterations by next week. I'll post updates once I pick everything up! So far so good!!!

Poor laundry service, Poor customer service, and Lies…read more I won't be going here anymore... I used to bring them my button down work shirts, $100+ Ralph Lauren polo shirts. They charge you in advance to get Fukked. I pay for laundered, pressed, No Starch and No Dry Cleaning! I got starched shirts back and they circled "light starch" on the ticket after the fact, my copy read "No Starch", Total dishonesty. I wanted them redone. I got attitude from the Hispanic girl. Picked them up today; I got back crispy shirts that the Owner, Jimmy Chianis, "Dry Cleaned" himself. The same girl said he tried to call me, but he did not call me, that was a lie. Cleaners get so many items that they often make mistakes. Don't be dishonest and lie about it. Admit your mistakes and correct them right away or lose customers.

All they needed to do was sew alone that white line -that's all and then return it to me! But the female owner, put her hand up in the air while making a face, as if she was flicking away a fly to me??. She said, "no no -you do -no no!" WHAT the heck?!? She does not know me or who I know! If any of my employees treated anyone like that- they would have been fired!!!!!! It took me about 20 minutes to find the parking space to go downstairs underneath the building down the hallway near a knife shop to even find their hole in the wall. I took it to the the Martinez Cleaners near State Street and they were so sweet and said they would do it no problem. They love the idea that my grandson will have my giraffe T-shirt when he comes to visit as a night shirt To have this couple treat me that way and tell me to go away... Was very insulting! I have friends that do own businesses from Thailand, China and Japan and have only been treated me and others, sweet and kind and with respect as I give them. It was as though I was in the middle of a Seinfeld episode with a soup Nazi saying "no soup for you, go away, go away" - I stood there, totally in shock and I said paused and said in my heart- I will never go back and I will tell other people-stay away, they're not nice! !!" so I will take my money somewhere else where it's appreciated!. Stay Away!!!

She only accepts cash to keep her costs down. What I went there for: Get my pants hemmed. For folks worried about getting their nice suit hemmed, have no fear. I brought over my new Bonobos suit(pants). This is part of a $600 set that I saved up a years worth of clothes money first. I trusted Chi with these and she did not fail. Cost: $10. Prices are not listed, but at least this will give anyone an idea about one item. Could be more or less depending on the mood of the owner. Call beforehand, let her know you're coming in. She's working with your prized fancy positions, just be smart about it.

I highly recommend Tailoring by Chi! I will be bringing her all my items I need tailored!
