    2 years ago, I walked into Hem Up with my older sister who was getting married in 3 days. She needed last minute alterations done and while everyone else in OC turned us away, Tina took us in and saved us! I told Tina that when it was my turn to get married, I'd come to her - and I kept that promise!! Gave Tina my wedding dress that had a bazillion layers, needed to be shorter, and needed a bustle... 1 week before my wedding. I know - I'm insane and very irresponsible. But of course, Tina saved me. She might've given me a well deserved lecture, but she saved me. Beautiful job, quick turnaround time, friendly, and reasonably priced. Tina's is the only place I'll get alterations done in OC.

    i got my ao dai dry cleaned here and i would 100% come back! tina was super communicative through phone and text and was very friendly. the price was extremely fair considering my ao dai was classified as a wedding ao dai and it came back clean, free of wrinkles, and smelling great! highly recommend! p.s. her store decor was also super cute too!

    I found a simple wedding dress I loved for an amazing price, but it just didn't fit the way I imagined. Since I had just moved to the area, I was nervous about finding the right alterations place--but finding Hem Up was the best decision. There's a reason it's so highly reviewed. At my first fitting, Tina completely changed how I saw my dress. She didn't just hem it--she helped me see its full potential by adjusting the straps and bodice in a way that made it feel like my dress. She also squeezed in time to fix my wife's suit after another place didn't get it right, which meant so much to us. Tina is efficient, professional, and so easy to work with. She made the whole experience feel calm and even fun during such a busy time. I'm so grateful we found her.

    Two dresses she tailored

    I've been helped by Tina at Hem Up multiple times, twice for a wedding and once for a prom dress for my sister. Both times she has impressed me with her attention to detail and her passion for her work. I usually come in with a dress thinking I just need it shortened, but Tina always makes the best suggestions that elevate the dress from what was originally imagined. In fact it probably ends up looking better than when originally bought. She has an eye for fashion and that truly shines in her work-- she isn't just doing the bare minimum or suggesting random alterations. The product always comes back fitting seamlessly in all places despite the dress being multi-layered, multi-material, and complicated. Her pricing is always fair for her work and all that she puts in, and the turnaround time is quick as well. I really appreciate Tina and it feels like family when you're here. She's accommodated my sister and I multiple times at the last minute and always checks up on us. Thanks Co!!

    I needed a cosplay costume altered within a few days, But Tina immediately took my worries away and fixed my costume before quickly!

    Second time coming to Tina and as always, I'm speechless! I needed last minute major alterations for my cosplay last minute (within a week) and Tina saved the day by squeezing me in!! I trust no one else other than her to fix my cosplays and highly recommend her! She won't disappoint!

    Marked with dark blue ink.

    1 star for speed. 0 stars for quality and attention to detail. Asked her to hem the sleeves on an expensive suit jacket, which required buttons to be taken up. However, the buttons are misaligned and overlap each other. Upon closer inspection, she marked the new button placement with BLUE INK, which will be fun to try to remove when I have to take this jacket to another tailor to redo the buttons. The sleeves are also flared. She won't take accountability and tried to say the jacket came like that. Look at the pictures and tell me if you think the buttons came like that. Definitely would not trust to redo.

    Authentic Mitchell & Ness, Home Jersey 96-97 Lakers Kobe Bryant

    Tina, she is extremely nice and always offers her expertises and recommendations on how to alter your clothes. For me, it was my prize possession, Kobe Bryant authentic, Mitchell and Ness jerseys!! IYKYK I trusted her for one of the Kobe jersey and it came out fantastic! The length of the jersey was too long and my concern was the patches being relocated I remembered receiving a text a couple of days prior to the ETA that was quoted for me on the receipt and in person. It came out like I bought it online or at the Laker Store in El Segundo!!! Tina won me over and I started to bring in all my authentic NBA Kobe Bryant jersey to her. I brought in a couple of jeans for her to tailor and it came out fresh! She was able to taper match and cut the length off. I will continue to come to her business. Great person, and very welcoming! Highly recommended!

    Tina really took care of me. Her shop is very busy, I recommend calling to schedule with her. At times I felt rushed but in the end I just can't say enough how much she took care of me. I needed alterations for a quickly put together wedding and I was going through a few medical issues and had to cancel appointments but she still got everything done for me and I felt so beautiful. It's a strange detail but I even bled from a wound on the front of my wedding dress and she took care of it without blinking an eye and told me not to worry! She really cares about the level of her work and it shows. I can't thank her and her team enough.

    Made a custom suit from a suit 3 sizes too big

    Highly recommend for special occasion suits and dresses. Worth the price if you need a custom fit! Her work is chefs kiss!

    The "finished" look with the other alteration place. After many appointments, I still did not feel confident so I decided to go to Hem Up
    Delina V.

    I bought my wedding dress off the rack so it was really big on me. I brought it to another alteration place and while they did fix the back to my liking, I still did not feel confident in my dress from the front. It didn't look snatched and didn't feel very fitting to my body. I decided to bring my dress to Tina at Hem Up and she listened to my concerns and was very easy to talk to. She also had a lot of knowledge and understood exactly what was wrong with the dress and she saw what I saw. I felt so relieved! She fixed it to snatch the waist and show more of my curves and also fixed the boob part by taking out the stiff fabric so that my boobs didn't look awkward. She's amazing and definitely knows what she's doing! Highly recommend. I will be back for other alteration needs. Thank you Tina!

    See all

    Hamilton Cleaners did an amazing job preserving my daughter's wedding dress. they communicated…read morethrough the time the dress was being worked on and included photos of the progress. I would highly recommend.

    Finding a good dry cleaner is like striking gold…read more Let's be real, nobody likes to take things in to be dry cleaned. It's such a hassle! But, I think dry cleaning reviews are extremely important. Especially if you are trusting them with an expensive item or something sentimental. I found this place randomly after having an IV that went wrong at UCI. There was blood on my legs, the floor, all over my arms and unfortunately, my coat (it got all over my pajamas. But I was not worried about that) I immediately looked up places on yelp and dropped my coat off on the way home. Not going to lie, I was sweating while dropping this off. This is one of my go to coats and it can't just be replaced. It was a huge investment piece I read their reviews and liked the photos they posted. I dropped it off on a Thursday and it was ready for pick up on Tuesday. (It ended up being done a day early) When I dropped it off They asked me questions like how long it has been since the blood got on my coat (less than 2 hours prior) They ended up texting me photos as well. Showing before , during the process and then the final product The price of getting the blood out and dry cleaning the whole coat was 55 dollars. It included getting the blood out and cleaning the whole outside of the coat. It ended up looking amazing, you can't even tell it had blood soaking in it. When I came to pick my coat up, Jamie remembered the coat and the stain. she immediately asked me if I was feeling ok now and if I was healthy now. This was just the second time seeing her, and for her to remember really means she's great with customer service and actually cared. After picking up my coat, jamie sent me a text a few hours later thanking me for my service and they appreciate their customers This place is located in a little strip mall and does not look like much, yet they do specialize in very high end pieces / wedding dresses. I don't even mind coming from Long Beach to this place. It's hard finding reliable services. (The person who tailors my clothes is also based OC) So, when I came to pick up my coat, I ended up dropping off more items Which were -Balmain cardigan -Versace cape -Ramy Brook dress. And these are all light colors. So you could see all the wear and tear. For me to trust a place with my capes, that's saying a lot, lol. When it came to my cape, she even sewed the buttons on since they were loose. I did not even ask her to do this. I was blown away by her attention to detail I'm really glad I had the chance to speak to Jamie Whether dry cleaning is part of your daily / weekly routine or if it's something you do once in a blue moon, I highly suggest this locally owned and operated / family owned and operated business. Jamie is amazing pros Private parking lot The prices were really reasonable The people are extremely friendly and highly knowledgeable!!!! They offer laundry pick up AND drop off They have a drive thru for pick up they also offer organic dry cleaning They have a huge list of fabrics they work with, like leather and suede They also clean couches, rugs and big items This place also specializes in wedding dress cleaning. Which if someone trusts them with their wedding dress? It must be good! Great customer service! I can't stress how great, Jamie was I think it's safe to say, I will not go anywhere else for my dry cleaning needs. My coat looks brand new! I plan on dropping off - Gucci cape - Gucci loafers - Gucci handbag - Valentino cape - Gucci cardigan For next time I'm in the area. Jamie will blow you away!!!! I LOVE how she keeps you in the loop with photos. Thank you Jamie!!!!
