Where do I even begin with describing how absolutely wonderful Michele is?…read more I spent what felt like ages looking for a calligrapher who could pre-fill out my ceremonial marriage certificate and to do the placecards for the wedding reception. After sending many emails and not hearing back from anyone, I decided to do a Yelp blast and Michele was the first person to respond. Even though she's based on Staten Island, we were able to work out a time to meet up in the city for both drop off and pick up of my items. Throughout the entire process, Michele was amazing. She is incredibly attentive to detail, really cares about producing quality work that would fill her clients with joy, oh, and she happens to be the world's biggest sweetheart. As she worked, she contacted me to show me her progress and when I saw the place cards she made for my husband and me, I totally ugly cried some tears of joy! It was such a beautiful and surreal moment! Her prices are also so incredibly reasonable and transparent! I will definitely be working with her again in the future!

Michele was a dream to work with…read more I reached out on yelp on 12/11 and she called me within 30 minutes to discuss the project. She walked me through some options I hadn't considered (paper quality, color of ink, title, additional flourishes) without being "salesy", and she had a quote to me that evening. Her prices are comparable to other quotes I received, plus packing/shipping. I initially hoped I might be able to pick up the piece in person, but Michele is based in Staten Island and told me this during our first call. I appreciated that Michele was up front about her location, and I was happy to pay the packing/shipping fees. Michele put a lot of care into the packaging--the piece was placed within a cardboard mailer, inside more cardboard, inside a waterproof mailer with "Do Not Bend!" written on it multiple times. I went from contacting Michele on 12/11 to having the piece in hand on 12/17. I highly recommend her!

Fast Fix Jewelry & Watch Repair in the Staten Island mall is fantastic!…read more I've been here four times and each and every time the experience has been great! I've had several chains / necklaces shortened, some lengthened, and I also purchased a new leather band for my Seiko watch, which of course they attached for me. They also clean your jewelry at no extra charge, which is nice. I live in Brooklyn and usually come here first and drop off what I need to. Then, I go shopping at Trader Joe's, which is five minutes away. When finished at TJ's, I pick-up my items from Fast Fix and head home. Hiyun and Sam, the owners, are wonderful people. Yes, I know their names as I've been there many times and have had very nice conversations with them. They are very helpful, kind, friendly and are excellent at what they do. I would highly recommend visiting Fast Fix for your jewelry and watch needs. I really can't understand some of the other reviews, though everyone's individual experience is of course unique unto them. As well, some folks are just simply hard to deal with, or perhaps unreasonable, we all know people like this. I would suggest to be clear with what your needs are and what you are looking to have done, upfront. And you should ask for a price as well before any work is to be done, I always do. Or perhaps, as A.W. mentioned in their review below, folks aren't aware that this is a franchise operation and they may be leaving their review for the wrong location. I don't know, can't say. What I do know is that of my four visits here, all have been excellent. I would highly recommend, and have, Fast Fix to family and friends, and to all those reading this review. Hiyun and Sam, thank you again for all of the great work! My chains now fit perfectly.
