John's Tailors has that much appreciated lost customer service that is hard to find these days! I appreciate the pen and paper invoices, the family ran business, transparency on pricing and kindness displayed by both employees. I dropped off a few one piece items that had basic wear and tear and the staff was clear on the timeline and also asked for what my timeline was. In addition to the normal hemming and tailoring, the shop also offers up a nice selection of suits and custom suites that can be measured and ordered in house. This is a solid business that I recommend to all. I will be returning! read more

They always do a nice job. Never disappointed! Everything is always up to expectations.

I'm very pleased with my experience at John's Tailors for some minor alterations to a bridesmaid dress. The team was quick and thorough. They needed to remeasure a few days after I dropped off the dress because they felt their initial measurements were a little off. I'm glad they did because they made a few adjustments. The end result was perfect! You don't need an appointment, which is nice. I only waited about 5 minutes after walking in for my initial visit. The staff are friendly, attentive, and very professional. The space is clean and organized. The parking lot is pretty busy, so don't expect to get a spot right by the door. read more

Words can hardly describe the amazing customer service I received yesterday at Johns. In preparation for an interview, I had to get a button on my pant repaired so I headed in the store. I was immediately greeted by the owner who came upfront to ask what services I needed. After showing him the pant, he asked if I had the button, inwhich I did. He told me he could fix, it would take 10 or 15 minutes, and to have a seat. I was shocked! So I sat and waited for my pant. After he finished, I got up to pay, but he told me this one's on me. My heart was full! If you haven't been to John's, know that work is exceptional and the owners are remarkable. Off to my interview! read more

John was so patient with us when we were waiting for my wedding dress to come in. After finally finding a dress that I loved and could take home with me, his was the first call I made to make sure that we could make the necessary adjustments. John assisted me with removing the cups from the dress (I already have shapewear), securing the straps, installing the bustle, and having a piece of fabric to cover the top portion of my shapewear above the zipper line. I absolutely love the work that he did, the attention to detail, and how friendly he was in helping my bridesmaids and my mom out with their alterations as well. I can't say enough good things about the quality of work and customer service. I will say that his pricing was higher than my original budget, however, given the complications getting the dress in time as it was, I wasn't going to scrimp on good customer service, either. read more

This is NOT John's Tailor! I have a degree in clothing design and am a seamstress, but if I had something special that I didn't feel completely competent to do well, I always took it to John's Tailor -- the real John's Tailor. About 2 weeks ago I took in a beautiful shirt to be shortened, feeling I couldn't work properly with the shape of the hem. They did a worse job than I would ever have done. I don't know how people put up with this, or how anyone can charge for such terrible work. I wasted $27 and will have to work carefully to undo and try to redo what they did. They clearly do not care about the quality of their work, like the previous owners did. I had such excellent work done for decades but the work done on my shirt is shameless. Beware, beware. They should at least have the decency to change the name, so that people aren't fooled into expecting quality workmanship. read more

PLEASE READ THIS IF YOU'RE UNSURE HOW GREAT THEY ARE!!! Highest possible recommendation! I brought "Keo" at John's a couture dress that I got a great deal online but it was a final sale. This dress was cut so wrong in so many ways! Keo was so understanding of what needed done. It had these ridiculous dolman "bat-wing" sleeves and the whole upper bodice needed several inches taken in and tapered. Then came the rest of the top ... Although it was a floor length dress, the bottom was more of a pencil fit and the top part was a looser "blouson". Well, Keo had to take the top half apart at the waist including the lining inside and remove several inches and taper that as well. She has it done in four days but when I came to pick it up, the sleeves were perfect, but the back pulled open near the back buttons and you could see skin. Keo insisted it wasn't right and wanted to take apart the whole waist with liner again and alter it more and add a hook and eye. I wasn't in a hurry so I didn't mind a few more days. NO EXTRA CHARGE!!! For anyone understanding tailoring, for the small amount she charged vs the amount of time and skill she put into this, she wasn't compensated nearly enough! She's better than a surgeon! She and the gentleman working there were patient, pleasant, easy to convey your needs and perfectionists! Don't bother going anywhere else! Thanks Keo!!! You're a Master Craft! read more

Excellent work! I needed a slight alteration on my dress and they did a perfect job on it. They're so professional and efficient. I had it back within a week. I highly recommend John's Tailors. read more

I'm a lover of fine suits and dress. I've been coming to John's for a few years now because the quality and customer service is totally unmatched. Beautiful Italian suits, pants, sport coats, and fine shirts. They understand how to perfectly tailor a coat and pants. I'm a big guy, so getting a suit tailored correctly can mean the difference between "fat guy in a little coat" and Ray Liotta in Goodfellas. This is a rather small shop but they have a bigger shop in Minneapolis. I like coming to this location because it feels quaint and more personal. If you don't see exactly what you want there, he will have as many more options as it takes over from the other shop within a day (with a few other things for you to peruse). When my wife needed her dress altered for a funeral we were heading to that same day, I called and they said they would do whatever it takes to fix the dress. They most certainly did. It was perfect. And they did it while we waited there. Customer service is above and beyond. The very finest materials. If you'd like to feel like a million bucks, let John's tailors fit you for a fine Italian suit. If you want to feel like a billion dollars, let him custom make one for you. read more

The zipper on my favorite running jacket broke and I brought it in to see what they could do. They were able to replace the zipper completely, with a brand new one and it's more durable than the previous one. Saved me from buying a new running jacket! I will be sure to use them for any future tailor needs! read more

I always struggle with trying to find someone to do alterations that I know that I can trust. I'm in my lower 20s and am in weddings what seems to be every other weekend. I'm thankful I can always go to Johns Tailors. It's in a small strip mall and it's a smaller location, I've been lucky to have been in there with only one or two other people. The second you walk in there you're greeted with a smile, which is something so little, but means so much. They explain the process to you, they mark the dress for adjustments, and you can pay that day or when you pick it up. The process does not take long AT ALL. The quickest alterations I've had done, hands down. Plus, they're so good, that it's like an extra bonus. It's usually done a week after dropping it off. I love Johns Tailors, and even though it's about a 30 minute drive away from my house, I still go to them because I know I can trust them to do an unbelievable job and in a timely manner. read more

John's Tailors literally saved the day for me, and that was my wedding day just a few weeks ago!! I would give him 10 stars if I could. If you're looking to have a garment you really care about altered, I highly recommend John's. I previously had alterations done on my wedding dress near where I live in Washington, DC, which were somewhat disappointing... On the Monday before my Saturday wedding, I was in Minneapolis and on the phone to John's Tailors to see about a rush job to fix the issues with the dress. My aunt, mother, and father all have had work done there with great success, so I was hopeful it would work out. I was able to get in right away on Monday, and all of the issues with the other shop's alterations were resolved BEAUTIFULLY by Thursday. It was such a relief to know my dress for the big day was going to look as snazzy as I had hoped when I purchased it, and it turned out even better than expected after he was done with it. The work was expertly done, and you can tell that he put a lot of care into how it would look in the end - he also noticed some additional issues that he took the time to fix up, which I think really made a huge impact for the total effect. On top of the spectacular results, I thought the price was extremely reasonable. If that all weren't enough, I found him to be thoroughly delightful to talk to and so kind! It's great to do business with talented and wonderful people - thank you!! read more

I've use John's many times and I found the service not only to be very affordable, but excellent quality. I've gotten several bespoke suits from him and am very happy with the results read more

John and Enver are incredible craftsmen and they take pride in their work. I have been going to John's Tailors on Lexington for about 30 years and I would highly, highly recommend them for all tailoring needs. John is a one of a kind professional and he is also a very kind and caring human being. This is the type of business you would want to support! They will make you happy. read more

It's winter in MN. my trusty wool coat, has a torn right pocket. Twin Cities Quilting suggested "John's Taylors" so I went in with my coat. They greeted me right away, told me the could replace the pocket within a few hours, for under $20.oo. Sure enough, they did !!!! I strongly recommed them ... Zer0 read more

Can't recommend enough! John is great and really cares about his customers. He does an excellent job every time I see him!

Best tailor in the Cities! I've been going for years and am always pleased with the services provided. Thank you, John!

John is a master at his craft! I have taken multiple suits to John and have been very satisfied with the quality of work every single time. John takes the time to listen, and always tailors your items to fit exactly as desired. He is also very up to date on the latest styles and fits. I highly recommend John's Tailor to anyone looking for a quality tailor! read more

Always excellent craftsmanship from this family-run local shop. I've had them shorten the sleeves of a leather jacket bought in Italy. Nader even shortened the zipper in the sleeves to make that work and it looks fabulous. I've had them custom make a heavy woolen winter coat and also a silk woman's shirt - both were wonderful garments I loved for years. I've also had them do dozens, if not hundreds of hems, shortened sleeves and added shoulder pads. Absolutely my go-to place! read more

I have been going to John's Tailors for 10 years for my suit, shirt, and pant tailoring needs. Without fail John delivers impeccable workmanship and quality materials in a very timely manner. I have recommended John to friends and family and they have had similar experiences. John's skill and knowledge are unsurpassed in the Twin Cities metro area. Give him a try! read more

I cannot recommend John's Tailor enough! He is no doubt my go to tailor for any of my tailor needs. I have brought to him shirts, pants, but most importantly, my Indian clothes. Traditional Indian clothes are not easy to tailor (many tailors in India don't even do a good job), but I know I can count on Nader to perfect my complex Indian outfits. My husband and I both brought our expensive wedding outfits for him to fix, and he did a fantastic job. Especially if you have something important, you want someone you can trust. It's not as cheap as your corner store alterations, but this is the kind of work that lasts a lifetime and is worth the price. read more

I wanted my strapless bridesmaid dress to be taken in a little so I wouldn't be pulling it up all day. Johns Tailors did a great job but it cost a lot more than I was expecting to pay. They don't have their prices listed on their website and they couldn't give me an estimate over the phone. I brought it in and they said it would be done in a week, not realizing that it was going to cost $72.85 just to get it to fit a little better. As I said before, they did a great job but the prices seem a bit inflated for the amount of work needed on the dress. read more

I should have taken a photo! I came to John's to have a black Vera Wang gown hemmed. John actually measured everything for me. I just picked up the dress today, 7 days later, and I am SO pleased with their craftsmanship! I will definitely be back! The length is perfect even though I didn't have my heels the day he measured. The dress and length turned out perfectly. John and his wife are friendly, knowledgable, and they get your clothes completed by the date they promised. I will bring all my stuff here from now on. I suggest the same to you. read more

I ADORE this place! Mindy Kaling says having a tailor makes you seem scary and important, and I don't know if that has come true for me, but I have been a repeat customer at John's Tailors and am always in love with the work they do! I had my wedding dress tailored here, an expensive dress for a black tie wedding, and many less fancy items that now fit perfectly. I even have a few relatively "cheap" items I've taken in but I just adore them and it's still worth it to have the perfect fit. I took in a dress recently that had a torn sleeve and they were able to remove the sleeves and make it look like it was meant to be like that. They mended a rain coat seam that was falling apart for me and fixed a zipper at no cost on a jacket I brought in. The alterations can get expensive but it is worth every penny. Can't recommend them enough, and have referred several friends to them who also have glowing reviews of their own to share. read more

Have gone here a bunch now. The first time was so that my 4 year old could get his suit tailored for a wedding and the man couldn't have been more helpful. Super happy with all the work we've had done here. read more

Finding an excellent tailor is no easy feat. I had gone to many other tailors over the years and was never satisfied with the work. Then I found Johns. My husband heard about them from a friend, and many, many garments later, we keep coming back. Nadir is friendly, professional, and always remembers how you like your clothes to fit. He has tailored at least 20 items for me over the past 3 years and he has done at least 15 items for my husband. He also tailored my sisters wedding dress and bridesmaid dresses. Everyone was pleased with the service, the work, and the fair prices. Pants, skirts, dresses, jackets, men's suits, wedding dresses...you name it, it will be done beautifully, in a timely and professional manner. Cannot recommend them enough. read more

This place is amazing! I brought my wedding dress here on an emergency basis after another place did a subpar job of altering it. John's Tailors fixed my dress in the nick of time before the big day! I am incredibly grateful for their meticulous work and efficiency.... I would recommend them to anyone in need of a good tailor. read more

John's Tailors is just simply the best!! I needed a dress hemmed for my daughter's wedding and didn't know where to go. Someone told me to go to John's Tailors and I'm so happy I did!! They are personable, professional, reasonably priced and the quality of what they did with my dress was superior. I will be totally referring my friends and family to them and even if they live in Minneapolis, it would be worth the drive to get such quality work with such lovely people. read more

A guy with a short, athletic body + a requirement to wear suits to work = an absolute need for a good, affordable tailor. John's is a high quality, family-owned and operated business and they have turned every boxy off-the-rack disaster I've brought them into streamlined works of art. Prices are moderate yet reasonable (particularly with 10% off awarded for every Yelp check-in!) and they are always finished on time. The shop is light and comfortable, parking is a breeze, and John himself has an impressive knack for remembering both his customers and their preferences. I have been elsewhere plenty of times, ladies and gentlemen, but never again since finding this gem. read more

John is amazing. Great guy, great at what he does. He's done all of my suits, pants & jackets. He's always spot on and he's been able to turn things around really quick. I drive from Stillwater to his shop as he's the best around. read more

I can't say enough good things about John. He was very professional and knowledgeable, and took care of all our needs. We were so pleased with his service! read more

The ONLY place I trust to get it right. Unlike other tailors who need to see you multiple times before (hopefully) getting their alterations right, John only requires one visit before nailing it. The tailors here truly go above and beyond. Not to mention, the customer service is superb. They are very accommodating and willing to work with you if you need an item to be finished on short notice. Staff is always helpful and pleasant. Truly cannot recommend them enough! read more

I cannot speak highly enough about my experience here. John and Ann went above and beyond to make sure I had a perfectly fitting dress in time for my anniversary. Thank you to you both! -Maria read more

John's craftsmanship is incredible! Went there for tailoring my husband's Armani suit, and it went out incredible! His in house suits also look great. Definitely will check it out first next time before going to a department store! read more

Don't go anywhere else for a tailor. Seriously. John's Tailors is amazing! John was able to fix a ruined bridesmaids dress (ruined from another tailor) and have it done in time for the wedding. I thought the dress was unwearable, and he completely fixed it! You must go see John! read more

A friend recommended Johns Tailors to me several years ago and I have been going there ever since. Their work is of superior quality, well beyond any other tailor I have ever used, and their prices are reasonable. They are professional and friendly and the work is always ready when they say it will be. I have referred other friends who have been very happy with the results. I would never go anyplace else. read more

John at Johns Tailors is so incredibly talented. I took my wedding dress here for alterations on the recommendation of my mother in law, and I was nervous at first considering I couldn't find very many reviews regarding wedding dresses. I was so impressed with John's professionalism and talent and I cannot recommend him enough! He listened to my concerns and made sure that I was 100% satisfied with the dress. He took my lace dress in about 2 sizes, shortened the scalloped lace hem, added a bra into the lining of the dress, and added a bustle. The price that I paid for such a high quality of work was absolutely worth it! read more

I recently moved to the Roseville area and needed to find a new tailor. Looking online, Johns Tailors had great reviews so I thought I would try them out. I am very short, and need almost every pair of pants I ever buy, hemmed. As such, I have been to numerous tailors to have jeans hemmed. When I brought them in, I was very surprised to hear that it would take almost a week. That was fine, I had the time. I had brought in the shoes I intended to wear with the jeans, I asked that she make them so that they were just barely above the ground, almost skimming the ground. She pinned them and I went to pay. I was SHOCKED that it cost $25 to have the original hem put back on. I have never paid more than $15. I paid it knowing that would be the last pair I brought in. When I got my jeans back, they were alomst two inches higher than they should have been for the shoes I brought in, so I had to go buy new shoes as well!! I never write these reviews, but after paying that much for a hem, I would have expected perfection. I have since found another tailor in the area who charges $16 for the same hem, and her hem is actually where I ask it to be. read more
