    Tailored suit
    Steve H.

    Bought suit from Nordstrom. Nordstrom did initial alterations, but I still wasn't happy with the fit. I went to Express Tailor and Hanif took quite a bit of time with me. His prices aren't cheap, but you get what you pay for. He's a tailor, not someone that works in a dry cleaners doing alterations. If you have a quality garment that needs alterations, he's your guy. Also, give him enough lead time to do the job right. You'll be extremely pleased with the results...I know I was!

    I can't speak enough about how great my experience is here. I showed up with a vest that needed my club patches sewn on and even during the prom surge I was able to get not only a quick turn around but extremely well skilled work done. No lift on any edge of any patches. Thank you very much and I've already passed on the knowledge to others in the 2 wheel community that we have a great source to getting our cuts done proper locally. Service, quality and price all very top notch. I will definitely be back!

From the very beginning, he was super upfront, honest, and transparent about everything, which I really appreciated. Wedding planning can already feel overwhelming, so having someone I could fully trust made such a difference. You can tell right away that he's incredibly skilled and truly knows what he's doing -- the fit turned out absolutely perfect. One thing I especially loved was how helpful he was with my bustle. I had no idea what direction to go in, and he took the time to walk me through different options and explain what would work best. His recommendation ended up being exactly what I needed -- both practical and beautiful. Beyond the actual work, his support throughout the whole process honestly took a huge weight off my shoulders. I always felt taken care of and knew I was in good hands. So so grateful I found him -- thank you again, Mo!

From the very first fitting, it was clear how meticulous and detail-oriented he is. Whether it was a simple hem or more complex work, he treated every piece with incredible care. What truly amazed me was the alterations he did on my wedding reception dress. After I lost some weight, the entire dress needed to be restructured. Mo carefully took it apart and put it back together so it would fit my new measurements perfectly. The result was flawless! It looked and felt like the dress had been custom-made for me. Mo is patient, attentive, and great at addressing all of your concerns. He takes the time to listen, explain what he's doing, and make sure you feel comfortable with the plan. He truly cares about his craft and takes pride in delivering beautiful results. If you're looking for someone you can trust with your most important pieces, especially something as meaningful as a wedding dress, Mo is your person. I highly recommend him for all alterations!

The quality and service and customer service all went downhill with the new management. One event that I remember was I called them on a Saturday to complain about white stains on my items that I just picked up. It only shows up on the black clothing of course. The lady who answered the phone was rude and put me on hold. I waited on the phone at first for 10 min then it last up to close to an hour!! I hung up, and called back again an hour later. This lady kept the phone off the hook. lol I called all day until before closing and phone was still off the hook. I told myself I wouldn't go back. However, I did go back. Yet again, when I picked up my items, white mark or whatever it is on my black clothes. I told the lady who was there one day and she took it and idk what she tried to do but it was there or she prayed and wiped with water which is what I do myself. Why are there white marks on my clothing after getting dry cleaned?? This never happened before with the previous owners. Next incident was when I came in the afternoon to bring in a paper of pants to get hemmed. Mind you, I come from Vallejo just to come all the way here cause it's the only place I know. I get there and the lady at the front attempts to take the measurements and she had no idea what she was doing. From the way she was folding the pants, to it being an uneven fold. It was a frustrating experience. I told her I'll come back a different day. She said she was just helping out because the person that normally does it, wasn't in. Ummm, maybe have someone there all the time who does this? People go out of their way to come here or put a sign when hemming person will be in! That was the last straw and never again. Luckily I tried a new place by my house and so far so good. Crossing fingers.
