I needed a dress tailored for my daughters prom. It was too long so I gave John the Tailor a visit. With everything being n a rushed I can tell you that he did an Amazing Job!! The Best Tailor in WHITTIER!! read more

John altered some jeans for me and they came out great! He took in the waist and it was exactly what I needed. So kind, finished them for me quickly and did not take up too much of my time when I dropped/picked them up. I will be coming here for alterations from now on! Thank you John :) read more

Had pants done... one came out perfect the other pair was slimmer and smaller in the crotch area.... Price was fair, not cheap. And he was kinda rude... He seemed annoyed that I was asking questions, I guess he is under the impression that is such thing as stupid questions... Anyway, wouldn't have minded him being annoyed at me if the work was flawless. Did not make me feel welcome. read more

John does excellent work at a very reasonable price. I'm quite picky and I've had no complaints.

John has been our family tailor for years. He does an amazing job every single time! I came to him once, after another tailor butchered my bridesmaid dress, he literally re-did all of the work and made it look PERFECT (might I add he did it all in 1 day). Anytime I get a chance to go to him in Whittier I would. read more

John fixed my daughter's prom dress In a few days and it was perfect!! Had to lift it from the waistline due to scalloped lace on the hem- looked great ! read more

John is the best tailor around. I've been coming here for over 7 years now. I have weird body measurements so clothes don't fit perfectly from the store. John tailors then perfectly every time. He can do everything from suits to jeans and even scrubs! read more

John is the only tailor I trust. My sister and I have been going to him for approximately 8 years now. He always does a great job and charges a very reasonable price. I have taken him anything from my work slacks to formal dresses. John can do it all. If you every need anything tailored I would highly recommend John. read more

LIFE SAVER! John saved my dress for the GRAMMYs! I found a dress right before leaving to NYC and only had a few hours to get it tailored. I discovered John via Yelp and WOW am I glad. He adjusted my dress to the perfect length and closed up a very revealing slit to look elegant. ALL WITHIN A FEW HOURS. So thankful for this man. Excellent quality and service. read more

John is always there in a pinch and he does a great job. Everything is always done on time and his ability to fix a complicated dress is amazing. My family has been going to him for years and we will continue to. read more

I had a last min request and saw the reviews so I made it early in the morning as soon as he opened. All I can say is Tony did not dissapoint, he took care of my suit in a timely matter and tailored it perfect. Thank you for taking care of me, great business. read more

This is my second time coming here and so far so good I will be bring more clothing here to get done I would recommend this place

John ROCKS!!! He does a great job in a timely fashion, I would absolutely refer him to others. Will surely be coming back. read more

This is a great place for all your tailoring needs! Fast, easy to work with and reliable!

Great work, fast turn around and reasonably priced. The only place I go for all my tailor needs!

The first time I came here he did an ok job. Th second time one item was done and one item was hanging on the rack unmarked and forgotten. The third and last time I went he did a poor job on one side ten and lost the other. He said he'd look for it and call. Of course he never did. I won't be back. read more

I took two different pants to get tailored by John. I was extremely happy with the results. Pricing is fair and John's work really impressed me. Highly recommend. A+ read more

I arrived at 6:05 on a Wednesday. Came with not just one but 5 pair of pants in need of hemming and dry cleaned. Place is in busy street, parking is funky. I get close and it's locked with a cage and it says on the door close at 6:30 no sign of emergency leave or anything. Great reviews don't know from where?... new to the area so was chosen this for first try as a new future customer. I was very disappointed and bothered but your loss is someone's else shops gain. Not true to hour time or days. read more

He simply knows what he's doing. I took my husbands pants in for alteration and needed it back within 1 day and he was able to make it happen. read more

John has talent, there's no doubt about that. He has an eye for altering. I took my brides maid dress to him that needed length taken from the bottom and from the waist. His prices are reasonable and quality impeccable. I paid $70 for all the alterations and he got it done within two weeks, I'm sure he could have done it earlier but I had a lot of time to wait so there was no rush. read more

He may not schmooze you like you're the next biggest act out of Hollywood or advise you about your love life the way a good bartender can but if you want to look the part, this guy will come through for you. He's been at this gig for quite some time and knows his stuff. I hear he can blindstitch with his hands tied behind his back. j/k I've had a lot of work done by him (at least 30 pieces) and I am always satisfied with his work. He's helped me with basic shortening dress shirt sleeves, hemming pants and taking in (or occassionally taking out) waists to working on fancy designed shirts that require recutting/resizing it for a better fit. It turned out great everytime. Can't say enough about him other than wish he'd move a little closer to our area. read more

John the tailor should change his marquee outside to "John the asshole". My fiancé and I went to him off of his stellar reviews here on Yelp! We went in to have one of her dresses taken in. He rudely snatched it from her and looked at it and said he couldn't give an estimate until he saw it on her in the dress. Understandable. She puts it on and he said the alteration would be $55. From the time we walked in to the time he gave us the estimate (5 minutes) he made us feel like we were a nuisance and were bothering him by inquiring about his services. Poor customer service isn't a smart thing to do in today's market place ESPECIALLY with review services like Yelp! I don't know if he raised prices and became a prick recently, but he was not affordable nor pleasant. Not a smart move John, we are local and would've gladly given you more business and recommend you to others. read more

Best place!!! I came in this morning wanting my dress tailored and finished in a couple of hours. The dress ended up being more complicated than I thought and he told me it's gonna be a bit pricey to fix it. He then offered me another suggestion in fixing it, a cheaper way, AND told me he could get it done in a couple of hours!!! YAHOOO! He was VERY helpful and so smiley and im definitely coming back! great customer service. Thank you John!!! read more

We have gone to John the Tailor twice. The first time for my daughter's prom dress which had a very difficult hem that needed to be raised. John was so knowledgeable and told me and showed me before hand why he had to do the hem a certain way. I was so impressed with his knowledge and work. Recently, my daughter and I had to take our Friday party dresses to him for alteration and hemming. Again, John was so knowledgeable and explained everything to me beforehand. The dresses were complicated to alter. John did a fantastic job. He is a true artisan and will continue to take all of our tailoring needs to him. AND his prices are so reasonable especially for the work he does. read more

Amazing experience. Referred by a friend for a bridesmaid dress and he went above and beyond altering a dress that was multiple sizes too large for my pregnant wife and it came out looking amazing. He even added little unnecessary touches here an there to make sure she, "looked like a princess." Cannot recommend enough. read more

I am utterly disgusted with the quality John does not provide. I brought myself and my family to John when we were departing on a cruise. There was a two week deadline. He promised we'd have our clothing in a week, he was a week late. We were leaving the next day and upon picking up our multiple garments, they were tailored in a horrible manner, they were crooked, the seat of the pants were baggy, etc, etc. I told him how displeased I was he said sorry can't help you. Please beware, he will promise you the world and deliver a rotten egg. We ended up having the garments properly tailored on the ship at a very steep price I might add. Even the ships tailors were laughing at his work and amazed how he calls himself a tailor. What a horrible experience from a scheister. Oh yes, if you do use him, enjoy picking up your garments on used old, bent wire hangers with no plastic protection, etc. read more

I went here earlier in the fall for my bridesmaid dress, it was long and had a slit which the dress overlapped the hem was crooked, and unbelievably long in the front I was uncomfortable the entire night having to hold my dress and almost tripping anytime I put it down. Also ruined the belt that was shortened he put the buttons back on incorrectly so I had to remove the belt! Also he ruined the bust line, it was extremely tight which i had questioned (as I did go to fashion school) when he was making the lines to make it more tapered from the underarm area into the breast area as it was loose in the corner, I said the lines looked like it would be too small in the breast, he said it would be fine. It wasn't I basically bought a bigger dress to accommodate the size of my bust for it to be pointless, and one more thing to feel uncomfortable about. He tried to fix it and had it another week, by the time I had it I could not get it dry cleaned and it had a makeup stain on it as it was a floor model dress from the bridal store. It was unbelievable, they were honestly simple fixes, and ruined my dress. I threw it away after the wedding it was that bad. read more

Came to this tailor on the advice of a close friend who lives by the shop. Just a little background of my sitch, I'm husky with a big ass. Buying your everyday pants at JCPenney will not always cut it. Constantly having my pants drag or look like bellbottoms. Started taking my pants to Jon and BAM! Problems solved. I take every pair of pants here to adjust to ME! Yay it might be $20 per pant, but well worth it. He even does shirts too... Arm lengths are never a problem any more. read more

This guy saved my life. I have become a sausage and had to squeeze myself into a bridesmaid's dress that would not close at all. I took it in 4 days before I needed it and was hoping for a miracle. He said he couldn't do anything with the dress because there just wasn't enough fabric to do so. It was true, he was grasping at filiments. But after saying that it didn't have to look perfect and it just needed to look decent he went ahead and did it. He made it perfect! He let it out and had to use some extra fabric that almost matched but it was hidden underneath so it was ok. It fits fantastic and you can't even tell that anything was done to the dress. He's honest and does quick work. Will be coming back in the future soon. read more

John is amazing. I needed my wedding dress altered and john took care of in 2 days. It came out amazing. If you are in need of a tailor go see him. read more

I only had a pair of jeans hemmed but I was pleased with my experience and would defiantly go the again. I was helped immediately so it was a quick drop off and I was given a claim ticket. They were ready within a few days and the pants looked great. read more

John is always eager to deliver the product that he promised, in the time frame he promised. He is the go to spot for all of my military uniform items. Need something in a pinch, John will do everything he can to make sure your uniform squared away before heading to base. read more

Great service. Never dissatisfied. Full alterations done, zipper replacement and suits altered. Fair prices. Check them out.

I decided to visit this location based on the good reviews on yelp. I just wanted a sundress taken in. Firstly, he didn't even acknowledge me when I walked in the door. There was no one else in his shop. I went in to ask how much it would be, and before I could even turn the dress right side out he ripped the garment from my hands. Then very rudely handed the dress back to me and told me he could not give me a price without seeing it on me (understandable). I asked if I could use either dressing room and he rolled his eyes and motioned toward them. After seeing the dress on me and quoting an outrageous price, I left John the Tailor without my business. He is a very rude man with poor customer service skills. Rating one star because I can't give him none read more

I've been bringing my clothes here for probably 15 years. Really nice, hard working guy who knows his stuff. Always has the clothes ready and waiting when he says he'll have them.Best place around. read more

John did an amazing job taking in a dress on short notice for us. He was polite, professional, and reasonable ($45 for major alterations in two areas of a dress with lace overlay). We got the dress back on the day promised, and the fit was perfect. read more

He tailored a couple of my jeans already and it is save for me to say that he did a great job in a very quick period of time! He is able to shortened my jeans and also make the bottom slimmer without making it look odd. read more

Brought in a suit (pants and coat) and they were ready within 3 days. Quality has held up over multiple wears and washes. I have no qualms about the work done. It was top notch and done in a timely fashion. Suit fits much better now and if not for this work, it would literally be un-wearable for me. My only complaint was that the tailor pretty much chastised me like he was my dad or something for buying a suit that was too big for me. I, personally, can do without this type of side comments. It's really none of his business why or how I acquired this suit that needs to be tailored. If he thinks that it may look a certain way or if the product is beyond reproach, then tell me that in a business-like manner. I do not need to feel punished or criticized for my personal decisions, especially when those decisions are giving you business. By all means, this review is not meant to be a therapy session. But for anyone out there who values customer service, especially as a potential deal breaker when all other factors are pretty much equal, then I hope this information is valuable. read more

John the Tailor has done a great job so far on all the pairs of pants I've brought in. What I especially like about him is that he patiently waits for me to change into each pair of pants, folds, and marks where he is going to cut and hem. This is what sets him apart from other tailors in the area, who usually ask you to mark your pants yourself, which sometimes causes the tailor to cut in the wrong area. He is also very timely and I appreciate his clean work. read more

With the limited time he had, he turned my baggy suit all fitted right and tight. Great customer service and I was so happy with his services. I highly recommend this place. Super quick, clean and he knows style. Thank you John!! read more
