I think she did a great job of hemming my new jeans and they were done the next day. Good price, too.

Good quality work is most important so I give them 4 stars. If you want it back in a hurry...maybe 3 stars. A good and convenient tailor.

Quick quality work and a fair price…read more Nothing more to say but Yelp requires more characters.

I found Mari's Alterations through Yelp because of the many positive reviews. Unfortunately, my…read moreexperience was not positive so that was when I started looking into the 1 and 2 star reviews on Yelp and Google. They're all saying the same thing about Maria being disorganized and unreliable, which was exactly my experience. And based on reading the negative feedback, I noticed this lady tends to deflect blame. Never her fault. Always something else. I brought in two pairs of jeans for hemming and a wool coat that needed a lining added. Price was affordable. She gave me a week timeline to pick up. I originally planned to pick everything up on Saturday, but I called the next day (Sunday) and asked if I could pick up a day early on Friday instead. She said yes. Thursday came and I called them just to remind them as I've had experiences elsewhere in the past where things got forgotten and I didn't want to make a 25 min drive and finding out my stuff isn't ready. Lo and behold, when I called to remind her I'll be picking up the following day, she said Saturday so I reminded her I called her last Sunday to change to friday. She said okay, she's not busy so she can work on it. I showed up Friday at around 11. My stuff wasn't done. Her employees were working on it. At first she mentioned pick up was supposed to be Saturday. I repeated I've made phone calls prior to change to Friday and she said yes. Then she said I came too early. Say what? We never confirmed on a pickup time. Then she asked me to wait additional 40 minutes. And she argued with me, giving me an attitude. I let her know she was unprofessional and disorganized and this was before I read all the negative reviews. It frustrated me because she had the whole week to work on them and she didn't. Will not be taking my business here again. I do not recommend her business.

VIP service comes with a price, but in this case - worth every penny. You get more than what you…read morepay for. If you are a bride, bridesmaid or have an important dress/outfit needing expert alterations, this is the place. I can't believe how great of a job they did. I asked them to hem, and do "work on my bridesmaid dress" to cover my cleavage and shorten the straps. The expert seamstresses came up with an idea to reuse the hemmed fabric to add a much needed inch to the draping of the bodice to cover my over exposed cleavage. They were able to do a rush job turnaround in a week, and the results were stunning. I would have been embarrassed to show so much skin, but they did such a beautiful job that the bride loved the dress on me even more. And their store location is beautiful. It was truly a VIP experience. See my before selfie. I'm quite exposed. And then the end result with a more modest finish.

It's been almost 7 years since I started coming here and I can't believe I haven't posted a review…read more Jila is one of the most attentive and passionate tailors I have ever met. Her attention to detail and knowledge of fabric, cut and style is impeccable. If I need something to fit me like a glove, I do not go anywhere else. I trust her with my everyday items, casual, business, etc. i'm so thankful for the day my husband introduced me to her. Her boutique is quaint and pretty and has a curated selection of clothing and accessories from all over the world. She made me look beautiful on my wedding day and did a great job of altering my Anthropologie gown.

NADIA, thank you!! I felt like a total spaz of a bride the entire time I was working with Nadia on…read moremy alterations and she was the BEST. The dress is a fit and flare Martina Liana, and during the wedding planning stress I dropped a few pounds unintentionally. Nadia's insight and recommended adjustments were spot-on. The dress fit perfectly, the bustle was five points to support the train and it was very strong (held the entire evening) and the straps did not slip - I felt secure in the fit. Thank you Nadia for being so kind, talented and easy to work with!! You made my wedding dress shine even more.

I used Nadia because she was recommended by Garnet and Grace. I wish I would've shopped around…read moreinstead. Nadia is professional but not necessarily friendly. She is also pricier than other seamstresses I've shopped around with. She has a limited schedule. When I did my initial fitting she kind of waited for me to tell her what I wanted fix. I knew dress didn't fit perfectly but I couldn't pin point how to fix it. The seamstress I worked with for my reception dress was a lot more helpful in guiding me on what should be done. The one thing I did ask for (tightened straps), she didn't recommend because she thought it would cut into me when I moved--I was constantly pulling them up on my wedding day. One thing really bothered me. When I booked, she stated there would be 2-3 fittings. However; when I asked when I asked when my 2nd fitting would be she said she was fully booked. Like I said earlier, she has a limited scheduled. I was really nervous, but I was able to book at G&G instead of at her house so I was able to get my second fitting. It food well enough that I didn't ask for any adjustments because I was already frustrated with the situation. The hemming and bustle she did were okay. The extra breast cups she put in were loose and could have been done better. I think Nadia was a skilled seamstress but I would choose someone else if I could do it all again. I would have preferred to use the seamstress I had for my reception dress. The communication, scheduling, and pricing was much better.

Foroogh is one-of-a-kind! Her skill, talent, and creativity go above and beyond. She has altered…read moreseveral items for me - pants, dresses, and jackets. The two most important pieces were the gowns for both of my children's weddings. She completely resized one gown from top to bottom in addition to doing a hand-stitched hem. For the other gown, she resized the top portion, redesigned the pleating at the shoulders, and hemmed it perfectly. Everything she did was beautiful--she truly turns store-bought gowns into custom designs. Perfection. Beyond her incredible talent, her patience and kindness are so genuine. She loves what she does and is sincerely invested in your special occasion. She even recommends what color shoes to wear and what shape purse to carry. She pays attention to every detail from design to accessories. I'm so happy and grateful to have found Foroogh and for being able to trust her 100%. It is a true pleasure to work with her!

Foroogh did an excellent job on the formal dress I bought for a wedding I am attending…read more I knew it was more complicated than it looked because of the layers and the way the dress flows. From the beginning, she responded very quickly to my request and the dress was ready on agreed day & time and it fit perfect! My mother was a seamstress. I could tell after talking with Foroogh she had an expert eye for detail and would do a great job. I highly reccomend Foroogh. You will have peace of mind you picked the right person for you alteration needs!

Tina was amazing from beginning to end. I was able to text her to inquire when she could get me in…read moreand she was very responsive. I had two dresses that needed the length shortened due to it being so long on me (short girl problems). I also needed the dresses back ASAP because I was wearing them for a wedding happening that weekend. Tina was able to make it happen without charging me a rush fee. She was very transparent about her pricing and I was able to pay when picking up the dresses. I would definitely return and would recommend Tina for any of your alteration needs! Thank you once again Tina!

I've been searching for a reliable tailor in the San Francisco area, and Tina's Alterations was…read moreexactly what I was looking for. I had four dresses that needed alterations for several upcoming weddings and initially sent Tina photos of all of them. Rather than accepting every project, she carefully evaluated each dress and agreed to work on only two. She explained that while the other two dresses could technically be altered, the fabric and fit would make it difficult to achieve a result that met her quality standards. I greatly appreciated her honesty and professionalism. Many businesses would have accepted all four dresses, but Tina was focused on delivering work she could confidently stand behind. Her transparency and commitment to quality immediately gave me confidence in her expertise. During my first visit to Tina, I brought both my dresses to try on to assess the alterations that I needed done (mostly hemming). She provided a quote at that time, and stated that payment could be made at pick-up. I found her pricing to be very reasonable given the complexity of the dresses (material and multiple layers). The two dresses she altered turned out beautifully. The craftsmanship was excellent, and the fit was exactly what I wanted. The turnaround time was about two weeks from drop-off to pickup, which I found very reasonable (especially since I had told Tina there was no rush). She clearly takes pride in her work and pays close attention to the details that make a difference. One thing to note is that English is her second language and Mandarin is her first, so there can be a bit of a language barrier. If you speak Mandarin, communication will likely be even smoother. That said, I found Tina to be thoughtful, professional, and genuinely committed to achieving the best possible result for her clients. I would definitely return for future alterations and would highly recommend Tina's Alterations to anyone looking for quality workmanship and honest, trustworthy service.
