I walk into the shop, take a pair of shorts out of my backpack, and show whom I believe is the proprietor the broken zipper. He says yes, he can fix it, and then asks as clear as day, "10 dollars ok?" I said that works for me. He proceeded to write up a ticket and asked me how soon I needed the job done. I said no rush. He then asked, 'Is Friday the 30th ok?' (11 days away). I also said that's fine. Next, he says 'That's 30 dollars,' but quickly corrected himself (realizing that 30 was the date he just mentioned), and now asked for $20. I said, 'But sir, you just told me the price was $10.' He became visibly angry, and said I was the one who made a mistake. While I attempted to talk, he repeatedly said "Bye" to me, so I left with my shorts. Here's the thing: I'm now Googling how much alteration shops charge to fix zippers on pants (which I assume is the same as shorts). What's coming up is anything from $10 - $25 dollars. So, I'm not complaining about the price of $20 -- I guess that's pretty standard -- I'm venting about how this gentleman made a mistake, blamed me, and angrily told me to go. I see others here have had great experiences. Glad for them. Maybe I caught this guy on a bad day.

The seamstress had some questions but we talked through them on the phone and I thought all was well. A week later my fiance returned to pick up the dress and she hadn't even touched it. Although I wanted to wear the dress that weekend I was understanding. I came in to try on the dress for the seamstress and she pinned and chalked. She didn't spare my feelings when she said how cheaply the dress was made, making it hard for her to alter (!) 4 weeks later I still don't have a dress. I called her to ask what was happening and she said she hadn't touched it because she was nervous about the stripes matching up on the dress. What?! So you just let the dress sit there for 4 weeks? Now the icing on the cake: I told the seamstress on Tuesday that after 5 weeks I need the dress by Friday. She calls 5:30 on Wednesday night and says the dress is ready. She's lived up to her promise! Not so fast. I am ready to have my fiance pick up the dress the next day but the seamstress is going on vacation and won't be at the store the rest of the week. Ok. She offers to call me when she leaves work to meet me by my house. Redeeming herself! Nope. I never received a phone call. I called her and it went right to voicemail. I had to leave a message like a dork..."give me my dress!" I understand that not all alterations are simple and some take time. But 5 weeks? Especially after she clearly stated that weeks went by when she didn't even look at the darn dress? And now I have missed 2 opportunities to wear the dress (ladies, you know how annoying that is). I can't even speak to the quality of her alterations and I am afraid I'm going to have to go to People's Court to get this resolved (kidding, but seriously). I obviously do not recommend this store.

I've been using the services at The Monogram shop for 15+ years. Sometimes I purchase products they…read moreoffer in their retail shop, but most times I find items that I want to personalize and bring them to their store for monogramming. (Most stores won't let you bring in your "from home" or store bought stuff to be monogrammed... they require you to purchase from their inventory.) They've monogrammed my gifts for graduations, newborns, Christmas, birthdays, teacher gifts, etc... They have a limited selection of styles and that can be disappointing because there are some very chic elaborate monograms that I see on-line that are very inspiring. But the flip-side is that their monograms although basic are affordable. I've occasionally forgotten that their hours are limited and found myself pulling up to the store and being frustrated because I forgot their hours of operation... but that's my fault. They offer a very basic service with reliable quality and if they don't think they can fulfill your request they let you know. (this has happened to me a few times.... they know what their equipment can accommodate.) I know that they can personalize things for sports teams, businesses and more. I've been pleased with the service and product I've received. Plus it's unique to have a mother/daughter locally owned business thrive in this world of on-line retail. I've enjoyed watching the grandchildren/children grow up from being newborns napping in the back room, to becoming rambunctious kiddos running happily through the showroom.

Yady is nothing short of a miracle worker with alterations! My wedding dress had been with (who I…read morethought was) a very reputable tailor for over two months after taking my measurements. When I finally picked it up, it fit me very poorly. I was totally panicking and unsure of what to do with less than a month until the big day. I took it to Yady as a last resort, knowing she most likely wouldn't be able to fit me in. She totally could have turned me away seeing as it's basically the height of wedding season and I was giving her three weeks. Not only did she accommodate me, she was so friendly and reassuring about it, AND she finished the dress in 2 weeks so that we had a few buffer days to make final tweaks and get the dress perfect. Yadi did not owe me that kind of service whatsoever! I was blown away at her customer service. This was a tall order for a last minute request- NOT a simple hem job. The top of my dress basically had to be completely reconstructed. She totally saved my dress and restored my excitement about the wedding in general. Her prices were also very fair for what she had to do on the timeline at hand. I couldn't recommend her enough!
