    Kyle is absolutely outstanding. He did a wonderful job on my coveralls. He did a custom Taylor fit and I'll tell you the name describes this business perfectly expert alterations.

    My shadbelly horse show coat that Kyle helped convert from having buttons on the inside to a zipper. I'm so happy! Thank you!

    I had a shadbelly horse show tail coat that was very high quality that I absolutely love, however, it was a little outdated. It had buttons on the inside which gave it a puckered look and made it difficult for me to put on while I was on top of my horse after warming up before going into the show arena. I showed Kyle a picture of what I wanted him to do from an example I found online and he was able to execute it exactly to update it. This involved taking out the old buttons and adding a zipper inside instead (which was black so it blended in with the color of my coat). His work is seamless and you cannot even tell where the old buttons were. It looks absolutely perfect and it is so much easier to put on and lays flat now. The price was very reasonable & I couldn't be happier. Thank you!!!

    See all

    The workmanship and pricing can't be beat in my opinion…read more Been going there for years and have turned on a lot of friends to their shop. Turn around time is quick and everything comes back clean and on hangers, ready to wear

    I've been going to Original Hems Studio since my high school days (to get original hem on my 7,…read moreTrue Religion & Hudson jeans..IYKYK lol) and they use to be affordable (~ $5-7 per jean or even cheaper for basic hem) for the quality of work that they did, but boy have times changed..and not in a good way, in this economy to keep customer loyalty & retention. Original Hems Studio is located in Laguna Hills, off of Lake Forest Drive, corner facing the Shell gas station. Their services include hemming, tailoring/alterations & dry cleaning. The inside of the store is modern & clean with a black, red, silver color palette. Way nicer than most tailoring places. The wait for service can be a minute (so be patient), since they seem short-staffed the drop-off & pick-up times I've gone. When my daughter needed a dress tailored (made tighter at the chest area, since she's quite petite) for her friend's upcoming quinceañera, I immediately thought of Original Hem. Based on my prior good experiences with them ~ with my jeans & dresses, I thought they would be a perfect option for the job. To say I was SHOCKED at how much they quoted me for the alteration, was an understatement. Mind you..the dress cost about $30 and the alteration to just bring in the sides a tad at the chest area cost $45..LIKE HOW DOES IT COST MORE THAN THE DRESS?!?! I get the dress had some ruching and lace..but does it justify costing THAT much? Sigh..in the end, I just gave in and agreed to pay the charge because we were already pot committed (sized and everything) and the birthday party is weeks away. I really don't have time to find another alteration place. When we picked up the dress 3 days later, the workmanship was ok, not wow for what I paid. The measurements the girl did was correct & perfectly fit my daughter, so I guess if she's happy then I'm happy. BUT, I likely won't be back since prices have gone up significantly! When I asked (out of curiosity) for a quote for original hemmed jeans now-a-days, they charge $16!!! A huge contrast to my $5 days. ASK FOR PRICES, before you decide to do any services, as they conveniently don't have them posted anywhere ~ in-store or online..since the sales gal says it varies per item (based on material & level of difficulty of the alteration). I'm super bummed to have lost an alteration go-to place, but I'm sure there are other good & reasonably priced ones out there.
