After several times of going to Eve's Cleaner (just down the street) and being dissatisfied with how my clothes were NOT clean, I decided to try Hilda's Cleaners. I'm very glad I did! They are very helpful and efficient; your clothes come back in pristine condition. They always inspect things before returning them to you- and have no problem looking at an item and saying "that doesn't look good enough." If that's the case, they clean it again. The fact that it is cheap and they take VISA/MC is amazing. Now I can trust my clothes are actually clean and don't look like they were simply shook out and ironed. read more

I chose this dry cleaner because the prices were reasonable and the lady who runs the store is really friendly. We dry clean our suits and quilts here. In the future, we are going to bring in some things to alter. They also do alternation here. read more

I took a few items to get dry-cleaned there and they came back looking beautiful. The woman at the desk was extremely friendly. When I picked up my items she told me that she went ahead and fixed the hem on a dress I had left. She complimented me on the dress and told me she really enjoyed fixing it for me, free of charge (I threw her a little extra for it, though)! I thought that was super nice of her and will definitely continue to bring my things to her from now on!!! read more

Wonderful service, very affordable, and always reliable. Everyone I've talked to who works here is friendly, cheerful, and extremely helpful. I once brought in a garment on a Friday morning that I needed altered by that evening for a wedding, and they had it ready and looking wonderful by 4pm! So glad to have this place in the neighborhood. read more

They did a really great job on my suit. The worker was very nice and friendly. I thought.the price was reasonable too which is always a plus. I like that they were open early on Saturday too so I could drop off early. They had it done within three days, read more

I really, really like this place! She does such great work, and she's super friendly. I brought in a dress that I was going to have totally redone, but then decided just to hem it. However, she explained what she thought would work best if I totally altered the upper portion of the dress. I really appreciated how much she understood my want to salvage the dress. Do take your items in advance. If you take something in that needs altered within a few days or week, chances are she'll be too swamped to do it. I'd recommend 2-3 weeks for a simple hem and 1.5 months for a larger alteration. Prices are pretty reasonable as well. The major alteration of the top half of my dress plus the hem was going to be $70. The hem cost me $30, maybe $35. read more

Mary, you did great on my pants & i will be coming back with more pair's for you to do.I'm so glad i decided to not by a sewing machine to try and do it myself.YOU ROCK. read more

The woman who works here is so incredibly friendly. I brought in a bridesmaid's dress to get altered and even though I came in a minute before they were supposed to close, she still happily measured me and didn't rush me out the door. When I came back to pick up the dress, I brought in a crochet sweater that had a huge tear right in front . She actually sewed it while I was trying on the dress and didn't charge me for mending the sweater. The dress fit perfectly and the sweater looks great. It takes me 30 minutes by bus to get here but it's the only place I take my clothes to get altered :) read more

7 items: 1 great, 3 need to be redone elsewhere, 1 destroyed beyond repair, 2 not done at all Having moved, I was looking for a place in the area. Because of the 100% 5-star reviews, I took many items at once-very foolish of me. I think the 5-stars ratings are for their cleaning services, not the alteration services. I've never had such issues anywhere else. Maribel measured me and seemed more knowledgeable and skilled than any place I've been to before. I appreciated her taking time to thoroughly explain what she was going to do to each item from top to bottom. Her people skills were so great that I had complete trust in her. Her prices are about 10-15% less than others. My order was split into two: 5 items due in 1 week, 2 due in 2 weeks. As the 2nd order was for winter wear and it's summer, I said she could take longer if she needed but she assured me they would be done at ticket time. THE FIRST ORDER: 1) Full-length satin skirt: shorten, trim waist and sides. She tailored for my thinner waist and hips and shorter height, but didn't trim the bottom sides, so this skirt looks like a narrow bell. Instead of being sleek, it's ballroom gown looking (not the same as the original or what was discussed). 2) Velvet jacket: pockets were beginning to rip where its stitching was becoming frayed; patch and sew. The job is so bad that someone notices something is wrong with it several feet away. (No one ever noticed the small rips before.) 3) Knee-high skirt with zig-zagged lace pleats: shorten and trim sides. She let me know that it would be difficult to match up the pleats and the lines may be off slightly. As it was mentioned, I wasn't upset that it looked ridiculous-but it wasn't because of the pleats (which were lined perfectly), it was because it was shaped like a triangle: the two bottom sides stuck out like long points about 3" out on each side. She ironed it in the opposite direction, which made it look better. However, as there's too much material in that area, it reverts back to the way it is made when you wear it-looking like a triangle. 4) Knee-high blue skirt: shorten and trim sides. She stated it would bulk out at the hip due to the zipper. The skirt turned out great, including the zipper area. 5) Full-length skirt comprised of an outer semi-sheer burgundy skirt with a black second skirt underneath that. The black skirt is 1" longer than the other to create a bordered illusion. Through the years, the delicate burgundy skirt shrunk a bit and the black skirt underneath was hanging out too much (about 2") and exposing its hem stitching. Needed the hem shortened back to a 1" border. When I received the skirt it had no border at all. She said she could cut the burgundy skirt shorter (which would shorten the skirt to an unattractive length for me). She said she kept the material and would sew it back on. I thought she should replace the entire black skirt because I didn't know how she was going to sew the trim back on without the stitching hanging out. She said it will be fine and I could pick it up with the 2nd order. I remained pleasant about all of these items and accepted 4 of them, allowing her to keep and fix the burgundy/black skirt. However, I will have to get the 3 items re-done elsewhere. THE SECOND ORDER: I went a week late. After she searched the entire shop, she finally found my order in a bag under the counter. Instead of apologizing that she forgot about it, she blamed me because I mentioned she could take longer and that's why it wasn't started-although she confirmed twice thereafter that it would be ready in 2 weeks and it was 3 weeks now. Also anyone with basic customer skills would call a customer letting them know their order won't be ready. On the bottom of the burgundy/black skirt, she sewed layers of material about 4 x's thicker than the rest of the skirt which created a big bulk. All the stitching was exposed making it look as if my slip was showing-which is why I wanted it fixed in the 1st place. The burgundy skirt sticks to the black hem and won't lay flat. She removed a large v-cut section of material from the back of the black skirt up to my upper thigh-which was never discussed. As the burgundy skirt is semi-see through you could see all this mess and my exposed legs (which looks like I used the bathroom and forgot to pull my skirt down correctly). Also due to the v-cut there is a 5" gap of missing black border in the back. She even stated it all looked horrid. She said she could try to fix it by removing the hem and resewing the v close. She didn't want to replace the black skirt. Not once did she apologize for destroying my skirt or hacking it up without my authorization or knowledge even. She refunded my $10-taking no responsibility for utterly ruining my unique, 25-year old, classy, irreplaceable skirt. I took the 2 items that weren't done back as she messed up 92% of my items, so it's pretty much guaranteed they will be too. read more

Brought in two pairs of pants to be hemmed because they were too long and a dress that was too big in the waist. One pair of pants turned out just fine. The other pair is a mess. The seamstress told me they were sitting too low on my waist, so instead of taking them up, she would take in the waist. I get lots of pants hemmed, and this has never been offered as a solution to me, but I am not an expert, so I said OK. Now that I have gotten them back and tried them on, they look weird at the waist because they are too tight compared to the rest of the pant, which has a loose fit and give me a muffin top and a pot belly that I don't have and have a general mom pant look. And the kicker? They are still too long to wear with the the same shoes I brought in with the pants. The alterations weren't super expensive, but they weren't cheap, either. And now I don't think I can wear the pants, even if I do get them hemmed, like I originally wanted. The dress fits me snuggly when I put it on. I wore it to a tea. If I consume ANY amount of food, it becomes unbearably, painfully tight. I mean, I was at a tea. How much food do you eat at a tea? By the end, by lower back and stomach hurt because the dress was so tight around my mid section that we actually needed to leave early. WHAT?! And the dress is super cute, and again was not cheap and brand new. Not returning here. read more
