Jean is the best! I can trust her 100% with anything I bring in for fitting and tailoring. She is not inexpensive, but if you are looking for quality workmanship it's worth it. read more

I have all my clothes tailored here. They've even tailored leather jeans for me. I've never been disappointed. I wouldn't go anywhere else

This place is absolutely HORRIBLE!! I never want to write a bad review for a business but I truly want to warn other people about coming here. I went to pick up my bridesmaids dress on they day it was supposed to be ready. When I come in, she tells me it's NOT READY...what?! No phone call before or warning. Thank goodness I planned a few days in advance. I ask her if I can come the next day and she says they are closed so come on Friday. I'm really nervous but I have already paid and have no other choice. I tell her I'll be there right when they open Friday morning. I show up Friday right at 10 (when they open)and NO ONE IS THERE. At this point I'm really freaking out-I call and text multiple times and I finally get a response back that there is traffic and they will be there shortly. 20 minutes later they finally show up. Have to take my dress out of their car which takes another 5 minutes. Dress is hung sideways on hanger and SMELLS TERRIBLE!! This place is unprofessional, EXPENSIVE, late, and does mediocre work at best. Do don't come here if you want to receive your alterations on time!!! read more

I don't know what I'd do without them. Nicest and best tailor. Instead of recycling my 20" saggin shorts, Mylinh took these down to 18.5". I don't look like an unemployed guy, I look clean and legit! The seems are stronger than the original, I'm stoked. read more

Jean's Tailoring & Alterations - Expert Seems & Stitching - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - Solana Beach, California

The date I was told our garments would be ready turned into 20 days later. Then got it home and neck is too tight. Also material is damaged close up. I don't have time now to do anything about it. I'm baffled how 2 weeks due date went 20 days after promised date. Why take more than you have ability to do and leave customer disappointed. read more

She is the best! We totally sprung a huge project on her & she rose to the occasion. I'd use her a hundred times over. If you want something done well, go to Jeans. Want something impossible done? Go to Jeans. Want some candy? Go to Jeans! Seriously so sweet, hard working and excellent professional work. Thank you thank you thank you again for making these alterations possible for our family wedding. read more

See all

The owner, MyLinh, did a fantastic job on a difficult dress alteration for me today... Not only was her work excellent, she also was able to do it the same day- as I was short on time and leaving town for a function. She also stayed after hours to finish my dress for me.... I highly recommend Jeans tailoring for any and all tailoring needs! read more

Jean's Tailor (Mylinh) is simply put, the BEST TAILOR there is. Someone recommended Mylinh to me many years ago (before Yelp!) after I'd had some not quite right experiences elsewhere and was looking for a new tailor. What a gift that recommendation turned out to be! Since then, Mylinh has done every type of tailoring there is for me and for my husband. From simple hems to tailoring workout clothes, suits, dresses, pants, ball gowns, even my wedding gown...I can't even count the number of projects we've given her over the years, and everything has always been done to PERFECTION. It is her work ethic. She knows bodies, she knows clothing and how things should fit and look and how to make that happen. She (and her husband) are quality people who are kind enough to share their skills and talents and make a humble living helping other people look and feel their best. read more

In every person's life, one needs a good hairdresser (see my previous review) and a good tailor (keep reading), esp petite women like me. I highly recommend Jean's Tailoring (there is no Jean, actually). The owner, Mylinh, does excellent alterations and she knows what she's doing. I am a lifelong seamstress and creative textile artisan, so I think I know a little about the subject of alterations. Also, I don't have the patience for fixing ill-fitting garments. My husband brought his Lululemon pants to Mylinh and she did immaculate work to make his slacks fit after 25 lbs. weight loss. He feels like he's got new clothes! Mylinh's prices are reasonable, esp considering how much time she spends making sure her customer is happy with the outcome. She does the job the way it's supposed to be done. Looking at her seams, I cannot tell that any work was done outside of the original sewing room. She's working on my garments now. I have complete faith in her needlework. read more

MyLinh is incredibly talented. We have been using her for years and she always does a perfect job. We give her challenging projects and she always rises to the occasion and goes beyond my expectations. She's fairly priced, gets things done on time and always knows how to alter our clothes. My daughter had a prom dress that practically needed to be redesigned and it came out amazing. MyLinh is so pleasant to work with as well. read more

The Best. Always helpful. Kind. But MOST IMPORTANTLY.... All my alterations are incredible. I'm a tweener between Med and Large, she alters all my clothes to fit and the result is Me looking awesome. A+! read more

MyLinh and her family run an excellent business. Their tailoring talents are outstanding and their customer service cannot be beat. I recommend Jean's Tailoring without reservation. The best. read more

I have brought in at least 20-25 pants, shirts, blazers and suits over the past 7-8 years and I've never had a bad result or poor experience. Sure, it would be great if they were open Sundays and later than 5:30 pm during the week, which would make dropoffs and pickups easier, but everyone here is impossibly nice and diligent. I don't love the location - the tower and sign are visible from Lomas Santa Fe, but accessibility is poor. The adjacent Carl's Jr drive-through is a disaster, forcing cars to queue and enter on the wrong side of the drive-aisle, and if all the spaces past Carl's Jr are full, turning around can be difficult. I actually preferred the temporary space Jean Tailoring occupied when their part of the shopping center was being renovated a couple years ago. While in the shop over the years I've witnessed many interactions with other customers, including several in need of emergency alterations or corrections. Each time, at least while I was around, the Jean Tailoring staff has tried to help. Everyone I've met at Jean Tailoring has been really friendly and helpful, especially the very nice woman who handles the front of house. I have no hesitation trusting them with my tailoring and altering needs. read more

I have all my clothes tailored here. They've even tailored leather jeans for me. I've never been disappointed. I wouldn't go anywhere else.

We have been using Jean's Tailoring & Alterations for close to 20 years, and have always been very pleased with the work she's done. Don't know why I haven't said so sooner, but after doing alterations on 5 pair of pants for me that were quite involved, I figured it was time. Jean's is the best! read more

MyLinh is totally amazing. There are not many people around these days who genuinely want to help and her talent is unbelievable. Mylingh went above and beyond to rescue my daughter from huge embarrassment when her long awaited team jersey turned up in an XS size. It was so tight and tiny and she could barely get it on. I didn't know how to fix it but brought it to MyLinh and she was incredible. She took the shirt overnight and altered it to be the perfect fit in time for the tournament the next day. I am so grateful for her help and the smile on my daughter's face was priceless. Thank you so much. We will be back !! read more

Don't use their service. My wedding dress was brought here by Mia Bella Couture for resizing. (I was not provided with the name of this shop by the bridal store.) The seamstress did not have my dress ready by the promise date. Unacceptable. Additionally, the price for resizing (minimal alteration) was absurd. If I had known that the bridal shop uses this seamstress, I would have elected to take my dress elsewhere on my own. read more

Will never set foot in there again! I have been a loyal customer of theirs for many years. I have brought my children's uniforms to them for several years, as well as any other dresses or pants our family needs altered or hemed. Today I was told that the three uniform skirts I had them alter were going to be $25 a PIECE! In total I was being charged $99 to hem 5 pieces of clothing. She ever only charged me $10-12 but today she had the nerve to tell me that the "rent had been raised" and the $25 she was charging me would not be changed. Unfortunately for them they have lost my business and that if any family member in the future. read more

MyLinh is amazing! Was my go-to tailor until I moved a long way from Solana Beach. Unluckily, found a bad tailor in new "hood; she managed to over-shorten by 1/2 inch to 1inch, or shorten one leg more than the other, 6 separate pairs of expensive pants,. After trying 3 different tailors in my new area, all of whom said pants could not be fixed, I took them to MyLinh. "No problem" she said, and there was none - and I now have my six pairs in working order. And, yes, she'll tell you if the tailoring will not be worth it, or suggest altering it in a better way. She's worth all the extra mileage! Bev F. read more

Wonderful, highly capable people who do great work and are always warm and welcoming. They are honest, reasonably priced, and can handle a wide range of jobs with excellence. read more

I've taken everything from a formal gown, casual dresses, and decorative pillows here and they have done a great job everytime. Wonderful family business, quality service, for reasonable price. They even did a bridesmaid alteration in 3 days when I called ahead. Many thanks!! read more

I called to see if they could fixed a suit jacket and have it ready the next day. They said they could for an additional fee, the price was fair and so I ran in to drop my stuff off, they were both very nice and accommodating. Got it the next day and it was done right. I'll probably be coming here more often now. read more

I use Jean's tailoring on a regular basis for hemming and repairs for my apparel business. I bring in 10-20 pieces a month and My-Linh has always done an excellent job on these items. My-Linh is friendly and fair and she does excellent work. One additional benefit is she is able to do a special stitch called flatlock that most tailoring places can not do. On occasion I will need something done right away, and My-Linh is quick to accomodate me if she is able to. I wouldn't go anywhere else for my tailoring needs. I highly recommend Jean's tailoring! PS...I read some of the negative reviews and it should be noted that ALL of them were from prior to when My-Linh took over the business. She took over in 2016. read more

DO NOT GO HERE!!!!!! I was referred to this place by the owner of Mia Bella Salon, where I purchased my wedding gown. Mailyn met me at the Salon where she did the measurements and pinning for my alterations. While pinning me, she actually looked up at me and said "You better not gain any weight". Rude. Like any bride wants to hear that. About a month later, I had to call them to come and try my dress on again. I came to try it on, and it was really really tight. I figured that it must be me (I am 5'8", 130lbs), so when I needed additional snaps put on the back, I figured it was an opportunity to watch it for a week. When I called them a week later to ask about it, she said it was not ready without even asking who I was. When I said, "Don't you need to know who I am?" She replied "I know who you are". WRONG and RUDE. I came back to get my dress and tried it on again. This time, it was just as tight, and even more uncomfortable. The tulle straps were so tight that they cut into my skin, the satin under the lace had being to ripple, and the bustle she made was so bad that it began to rip into the lace of my dress. Not wanting to deal with her anymore, I said I would take it as-is, and leave. At this point, instead of an apology I had her in my face telling me "You're fine". I am not fine! In the customer service industry, it is not your job to tell the customer how to feel, it is to make them happy by producing quality work. When it was time to pay, she said $180. I asked for an itemized receipt (not an unreasonable request), and she actually laughed at me. She said they don't do that, and proceeded to scribble down random amounts on my receipt and exclaim that "the sides took her a long time". Any LEGIT business has contracts to assure both parties are aware of the risks and have accountability. This place has ZERO integrity. After all this, I was hesitant to take the dress to another tailor. However, it was unwearable (and unbearable) and I could not imagine being THAT uncomfortable the entire time on my wedding day. I am now scrambling to get it fixed, and looking at $500 to reverse and fix all the butchering that was done to my dress. Margaret's in La Jolla has been nothing but professional, accommodating, and upfront about cost. All in all, if you don't have the skill to perform what is being asked on something as valuable (monetarily and sentimentally) as a wedding dress, do not agree to it. Mailyn was not only inept at what she does, she was shady with the prices, and unprofessional in communication and demeanor. I can't emphasize enough the importance of doing your homework with who you are entrusting you dress to. Despite being recommended by the Salon, if I had gone on Yelp first, I would never have gone there. read more

I took a couple pairs of pants here to have some seems fixed. They told me it would be a week, which was fine and they looked it over and gave me a price. Well when I went to pick up my items the price was $2 more, which isn't a big deal however when I asked why it was more they said they had to do more work. I made the comment that I thought you already looked at it and that it would be "X" price, she said it is only $2.. You're right, it is only $2 so why charge me that when you didn't quote that. I feel that could have been handled differently, otherwise the quality of work is good. read more

Unfortunately, this business does not open at 9:00AM as advertised. I finally gave up at 9:20AM to find a different tailor. Not very professional. read more

So skilled! She reworked a dress for my daughter and now it has a true custom fit, expertly done. Superior work, at fair prices, and the work is always done on time. As a bonus, the whole family are nice people and very easy to work with. read more

This is a much beloved tailor shop that's been in Solana Beach for over 20 years. The owner, a cute Asian woman named Jean, knows everything. She is simply the best for reinvigorating your favorite old garments or transforming a great bargain find into perfection. There is no one else to whom I would take my wedding dress. With her, you truly get experience and expertise. read more

Brought my Wedding Suit in for a full once over. Had great customer service and did an exceptional job! I highly reccomend them!!

Took in two $300 pairs of jeans to get hemmed. After having the jeans hemmed here, they are now about 1.5" shorter than I like to wear them. In addition, the seams on the hems are very crooked and the color of the threads does not match the seams on the jeans. I do not know how to sew yet I believe I could have done the same job with a needle and thread. Simply a pitiful job. I took the jeans back in and showed them how poorly of a job had been done. I received the jeans back with a proper hem as should have been done in the first place. read more

I've used Jean's Tailoring for years for my alterations. They do excellent work overall. Beyond the standard tailoring for me of men's dress pants, blazers and jackets, they have done simply marvelous work tailoring overcoats. One was a 1960s Burberry from my father-in-law which required extensive alterations and the other was a steal of a deal Italian coat I found in Milan, which also required much detailing. Each came out simply perfect. I wouldn't go anywhere else! read more

The worst job I have ever had!!!! Mia Belle couture sent my daughter's pageant dress to be altered here....horrible job! OVERPRICED and not in a frantic place to find a decent alterations! Going to go to XUAN in RB to fix this mess!!!! read more

We were getting ready to travel back east to VA for a wedding that my daughter was in as a Brides Maid, and we suddenly realized that her dress was too tight. We came to see My Linh one day before we were to fly back east, and she was extremely nice to fix the dress and return it to us within 1 hour. My Linh and her husband are very nice people and we will continue to bring our clothing to them for Tailoring and Alterations. We highly recommend Jean's Tailoring and Alteration for your friends and family. read more

I took a two pairs of jeans in for a simple hem. Price listed was $9-$15. Fine, she charged me $30 for the pair. She wrote on my ticket $30 and when I went back to pick up the other girl tried to charge me $45.She proceeded to walk to the back of the store to call the owner making me wait when CLEARLY it was $30. I put $30 on the counter, grabbed my jeans and walked. I will not go back nor refer anyone else to them. Mylihn was sweet but this lady was rude. read more

Have brought in several items and MyLinh has done a great job with all of them. She has also been honest when she thinks something won't come out well (such as tear which I was hoping to have patched) and has suggested an alternative solution (such as replacing that section). She and her husband are unfailingly pleasant and accommodating. read more

So frustrating. Last time I came here I had to pay 4 extra dollars because I didn't have cash and they have a 20 $ min for credit cards. I decided to give it another go because they are located by my place of work and my home. Not only did the they mess up on a hem for my pants, they wanted to charge me again to fix it! Not a good way to run a business!!! Very frustrating. read more

I have had several repairs and alterations done here. Great service and price. Mylinh was superb! I had a favorite long black Eli Tahari gown that needed a repair, and let out a bit. Mylinh came through in a pinch, on a timeline, and the dress was spectacular. Thank you so much! I will continue to drive to SB from RSF. Thank you! read more

I took a nice wool coat in to get it taken in, and the lady told me that it would be really expensive to do that. She recommended instead that I just take in the sleeves and sides. I was a little leery about doing that, but she seemed very knowledgeable, so I said to do it. I was so pleased with the result! My coat now fits me wonderfully. I'm really happy that she suggested I do the second option, instead of just letting me pay more money. I've brought a lot of clothes in for my boss, and I don't think they deserve any of the three, two, or one star reviews. read more

My Linh is a miracle worker! She can fix and alter anything and she does so with such a sweet and quiet way. Her husband is so appreciative of the work and never fails to thank you. I would not take my clothes anywhere else but Jean's and have recommended My Linh to many people. read more

I love this place. I am not going to say it is the cheapest, but sometimes when something is cheap, you get what you pay for. The service is great, they are excellent at what they do. I've taken several different kinds of items in here. Once I brought in a suit I wanted re-lined and they advised me that this wasn't cost effective. I feel like they aren't in business to just make money but do things that would benefit their clients. I have never had anything that I picked up not be exactly as I asked for it to be. read more
