The sweetest woman ever! I have had high end tailors/seamstresses before and her work out does theirs. She's very thorough and meticulous. Her rates are very reasonable. I highly recommend giving her a try read more

Lady is alright. I think she might be too pricey. She doesn't necessarily make any other conversations, it's straight to the point with what you need done which is ok, smiling and appreciating customer's support would be nice though. I've had many of my pants tailored here. read more

I've brought my pants to her for fixing several times. The thing is, it really depends on her mood. If she's happy that day, she's okay with fixing what I ask. But on other days, if she's not in a good mood, she often says no and only wants to do things her way--not the way the customer wants. I'm currently still her customer--I just want her to see this as a reflection. If you know a better place, please let me know. read more

The owner/modiste's name is Grace. She is very good at altering clothes, and a very nice person as well. I used to have all my alteration needs done by her when I lived in Rowland Heights. I now live outside the US but I am in LA now for a visit. I may go to her soon with an alteration job. I truly love her as a professional and as a person. - Teresita Sabella read more

Colima Expert Alterations - Such an amazing job! - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - Rowland Heights, California

Grace came to rescue my dress right before the big event that will take place this weekend. I can't thank her enough. She is the best!

Amazing tailor located in Rowland Heights! She is located in the same plaza as Rite Aid and Shabu 88. I needed dress pants hemmed for a wedding ASAP and was able to find this place on Yelp! It is owned and operated by an older Korean lady. Even though English is not her first language, I did not have any issues communicating with her in basic English. She is very friendly and helpful. I brought my dress pants in and changed in the dressing room (she has 2 dressing rooms). Once I changed into the dress pants, she measured out the length. Afterwards, I left my pants with her and she gave me a ticket to pick it back up in a few hours. She works quickly, but is very professional, experienced, and meticulous. I could tell that she has a lot of ongoing projects, especially as it is wedding season, but she never made me feel l was not an important customer. I would definitely come back here for any future tailoring projects! read more

Colima Expert Alterations - Outside the tailor shop. In the corner next to Shabu 88! - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - Rowland Heights, California

Took my oversized hoodie to Grace, she measured me up, then helped shortened both sleeves from the shoulder seam, and tightened up the sides from the chest down. It came out like it was tailor made for me, it was perfect! Very very reasonable price. Yes she's definitely an expert. Thank you. read more

Grace is a pro at alterations - she's really good at what she does and it shows. My mom introduced her to my sister and I. She does a great job with your desired style and meets the deadlines you request. I will be coming here for any future alterations and you should too. We altered dresses, jumpsuits and pants. All done with great care and quality. Support small businesses! Thank you grace!! read more

A nice Korean lady helped me altered my several pair of pants. She's always doing her best job! Highly recommend!

Small place and the owner was super nice. It felt like I was supporting a small business This was my first time tailoring anything. I hemmed pants ($10) and a skirt ($15), and they took about a week. Cash only read more

First, let me say that the Yelp address is so wrong. GPS took me to the post office, but her shop is actually in the corner of Snowy Village. It's on the other side of Rite Aid. I brought in a bridesmaid dress to be altered 1.5 months before the wedding. The Korean lady figured out what I needed to be fixed and quoted me a minimum of $58. I needed the bottom trimmed because it was too long. I also needed the top part of the dress tightened from hip up. She actually told me to come back later - partly because the due date was far away and partly because she wanted me to bring the shoes I'd wear with the dress to estimate how much to trim. I came back 2 weeks before the wedding with the shoes, and she quoted me $60 total. Two dollar difference from her estimate - that's fine with me. She told me she was really busy since it was Labor Day weekend and said I could come back in 8 days. I came back in 11 days, but she told me to come back in 2 hours. I had to ask two different people to pick up my dress because I couldn't go myself. I was worried that I couldn't try it on to double check her work. I wasn't very happy with that, but when I got the dress back, it was perfect. I was very satisfied with her work, and I was relieved to get the dress in time for the wedding! She closes early on Saturdays, is not open Sundays, and is CASH ONLY. You also have to pay up front when you drop off your clothes. I didn't have cash on me at the time, so she let me pay when I picked up the dress. read more

Okay, so the lady doesn't speak much english. However, I think she does a really good job. I've been here twice with three different clothing pieces. A blazer, jeans, and yoga pants; they're all done well. I think the most important is that whenever I get my clothes back, I can't really tell that someone worked on it. It looks like it was always that way. Prices are good too. She's great. read more

The sweet lady here has altered my items by the date promised each time and has done great work each time. The stitching matches the original and she has a lot of skill. Pricing is very affordable. Would highly highly recommend. read more

I went there for the first time just to get my skirt hemmed on my Star Butterfly's cosplay dress that was too long down to my mid-legs that covered my Star Butterfly stockings too much so I took it there and paid $25 to get that Star Butterfly cosplay skirt trimmed and hemmed a little shorter. The cosplay dress of Star Butterfly was actually Star Vs. The Forces of Evil I bought it from EBay shopping website. After the entire 1 week until I got there from last Tuesday to next Tuesday for me to go get it. When I arrived there and tried it on, it turned out to be perfect than I expected. I thanked the lady for her helpful service and I decided to leave a great positive feedback about her skills, service and her tailor shop. read more

She was really nice, and hemmed my pants really quickly and it was really inexpensive! Only 8 dollars to get a hem job. It only took 30 mins for her to hem my chef pants, and the stitch is perfect, and so professionally done!! Update: She upped the price for hemming to $10, but it's still more than worth it for a professional job. Update: My mistake.. I think pricing depends on the type of pant. My work pants (Chef pants) have been and still are $8 to hem, Dress pants I brought in several months ago were $10. read more

She was very nice and easy to talk to. Got the job done fast . Perfect job she's done on my work uniforms. I appreciate her business very much. Very professional. Thank you read more

I have been going here for probably almost a year now to have different items of clothing altered and she always does such a good job. She is very busy and works a lot, so I always try to give her plenty of time, but if I need something done by a certain date she can meet it. Excellent work and very reasonably priced! read more

For many years, this is my "go to" place for any clothing that was still functional but needed some quality repairs, minding or alterations. Nice service from the lady who always deliver with reliable turn around time. read more

Very professional and clean work!! Highly recommended! I've been going to her for years & she has helped me construct multiple pieces from scratch. Her workmanship is impeccable. read more

Nice and sweet lady who is very honest. If she could not do the alterations correctly she will let you know.

This wonderful Korean lady does an amazing job! Her work is prompt, reasonably priced, and top quality. She is my go to whenever I need anything altered or hemmed. read more

Went here on a Friday with three pairs of jeans that needed to be hemmed. I was in and out of there probably in 15 minutes because the sweet lady who works there obviously knew what she was doing and I trusted her without even having to say much. She told me that my three pairs would be done on Tuesday and she charged me $26. Not too sure on how the pricing works since she didn't really explain but each of my jeans were around $100+ so I didn't think it was too much to spend about $8.60 each to love my jeans even more. I just picked up my jeans today and they are exactly how I wanted them to turn out. She is quick, good at her job, and reasonably priced (IMHO). Definitely check her out! Will be coming here again! read more

This has become my go-to spot for alterations. Excellent prices ($7 for jeans) and turnaround time. I've had jeans hemmed, and they also fixed a pair that I had gotten hemmed elsewhere and didn't turn out well. I'm about to take in a shirt that needs to be taken in, and I'm confident I will be happy with the results. Cash only; pay when you drop off. read more

This place is the best. The name is incredibly accurate: the lady who alters is an expert! I've heard many alteration places refuse to do certain jobs because they claimed it was impossible, but this lady can do them! The reason is (I asked her) is because she knows how to construct clothes from scratch. She knows how clothes are supposed to fit. I go to her for any and every alterations job I need and I feel confident when I go shopping that I have a reliable alterations expert on my side! *CASH ONLY* read more

A true miracle worker! My bridesmaid dress seemed to be a disaster because it did not fit and it could not be returned or exchanged due to time limits on shipping. The dress was very complex and the color was impossible to match, yet Grace was able to get the job done just in time. She is very skilled at her work. I will gladly bring her business because she is so good! read more

Prompt service. She did exactly what I asked and it only took 4 days and then I was able to pick up my dress. Great price as well. Thank you! read more

Grace is awesome! I had her tailor multiple dresses. She finished them by the agreed time. Very nice lady and I would encourage everyone to get their alterations here :) I'll be back! read more

I had some motocycle jeans that need to be hemed. It was inly 1 day to do the job cost me 8.00 bucks not bad.

I have the best experience at Colima Expert Alterations and I recommend them anytime. I walked into the shop desperately needing my dress to be altered for a wedding, the tailor promised me that she'll have it ready by the date I requested (in 3 days). Her price was VERY reasonable. The best part, her tailoring skill is AMAZING! I was so impressed when I picked up my dress. I tried my dress on and it fitted perfectly. I didn't even notice the area she fixed. She's really an expert! She mentioned to me later that the dress was more difficult to alter than it looked. Oops.. Even though, she didn't charge me extra. A very honest tailor with excellent skills. read more

Expensive place its same as Downtown Santa Monica I guess will be cheaper if i go to normal department store if anything harder lady wont do my dress cost 50$ when i ask if she can alternate she said 75$ its not even that hard work to do now i take my clothes to local alterations place and its still much better and cheaper read more

I'm a strong supporter of most moms' and pops' business not limited to just my neighborhood. So when i discover new spots I am happy with , im pretty much a lifer. And this obviously applies not just to restaurants but to other private business/services. I typically use my regular dry cleaner for simple hemming of pants/slacks/skirts etc. They do tend to get pricey if I ask for them to do a little more like adding a strap to a sleeveless dress etc... So I knew it was time to explore a real alteration shop. I yelped and yelped. And next city over my hood, I find this place tucked away next to the Royal Vista Golf Course inside a huge and busy shopping plaza. A very sweet and friendly Korean lady runs the place. Very pleasant. Gives you precise pricing. And prompt with her work. And her work is amazing. I've had no complaints thus far. She's tightened the back of a few dresses, added straps, etc... I have been very pleased with her services these couple of years and I don't think I ll go elsewhere. She is conveniently off the freeway with plenty of parking outside her shop. She is open everyday but closed on Sundays. #thankful#for#moms#&#pops read more

This little alteration place is being handled by a sweet Korean lady. Her work is fast--I brought in a pair of denim jeans to be hemmed (only $7) and it was done the next day. Craftmanship is up to par. No loose threads, the thread color matched completely and really sewed on well. I will be a returning customer and would highly recommend this place!! Tips: This place is in the same plaza as the Rite Aid and Greenland grocery store on the corner of Nogales and Colima. See pics I took as to where this shop is. Also, it looks like her place will be closed on Sept. 18, 2015 to Oct. 10, 2015. She's going on vacation. read more

Ever since I found this place I can't imagine going anywhere else! This location is on the route of my weekend commutes and I will always wait til I have a commute over to bring my alterations over! Why do I love this so much? 1. Amazing customer service! She's so friendly and kind and I don't ever feel like she'd take advantage of me! I trust her work and fairness! 2. Great quality! She really took the time to help me figure out the best ways to alter my clothes! The first time I came I brought with me 13 dresses (yup, I know. I should've had them altered much sooner)! Each dress came out perfectly and now they all fit like a glove! :) 3. Reasonably priced! Best price for the quality work, turn around time, and service! She doesn't do wedding dresses, but she's done amazing work on my dresses, rompers, tops & skirts to help them fit me perfectly! :) read more

I have a habit of stopping in at dry cleaners and alterations shops to ask the price for hemming jeans. I once took a couple pairs to the local dry cleaner, and they used thread that did not even attempt to match the ones used in my jeans. I stopped in here and the price was $1 cheaper than the other places, so I thought I'd give her a try. The alterations expert is the sweet korean lady who was quick and professional. She always had my pants ready by the next day, and she does a great job, too! I would recommend this place to anybody who needs some alterations done! Next time I am bringing my dress pants in, we'll see how it goes! read more

She is a very skillful tailor who saved my favorite travel vest, which no longer made, beautifully!

Mrs Kim did great job on shorten my dresses. The most impressive thing is she got them done the next day! Will go back again if I need any clothes or dress alterations in the future. read more
