    I found Lena's Alternations and I had my graduation stole embroidered with both of my degrees and class of 2026!!! The service was amazing, exactly what I was looking for. And for the price!? $50 for all three which is was cheaper than everywhere else. Also I was able to pick the font and size I wanted and there was not any surprises what it was going to look like. If you need something embroidered go here. Highly recommend and will be coming back in the future !

Just picked up two formal dresses that needed alterations and they now both fit like a glove! One needed to be let out and the other needed the straps shortened. Lua altered both dresses and is sweet, personable, and talented. She finished both dresses well before their expected date. Carolina and Joseph, the owners are friendly and you can tell why their business has been around for awhile. I had my wedding dress consultation with Isis. She was very sweet, you can tell she has an eye for detail. I can't wait to come back in August for my wedding dress alterations. Will provide an update then! The seamstresses are upfront about their prices during your consultation, so there aren't any surprises. Their prices are well worth the quality of work they do.

The attention to detail was beyond anything I could have imagined, and they truly made my dress fit like a dream.

They made me feel comfortable and confident every time I came in, which meant so much during such a special (and sometimes stressful!) time. Their work is truly worth every penny. If you're looking for someone you can trust with something as important as your wedding dress, this is the place. 5 stars all the way!

We walked in to find a waiting room full of people, yet Charlene graciously squeezed us in without hesitation.

True to her word, my daughter picked up the dress on Wednesday, three days before prom, and it was absolutely perfect. Not just good, perfect. Charlene is a true gem and a remarkable talent. In one of the most stressful moments of prom season she delivered flawlessly and with such warmth and professionalism.

The space was clean from the moment I walked in, and the attendant was incredibly kind and hardworking. She stayed busy the entire time I was there, constantly wiping down machines, walking the floor, and keeping everything tidy. You can tell she genuinely cares about the space, and that alone made the experience feel more comfortable.This laundromat is also surprisingly spacious. There's a large selection of washers and dryers, so you don't feel like you're fighting for a machine, even during a busier hour. The folding stations were a standout for me: clean, roomy, and actually functional. I didn't feel rushed or cramped while folding, which is rare. Plus, there were plenty of laundry carts available, so no awkward waiting or hunting one down.Now for the downside, and I want to be fair here. Some of the machines are definitely on the older side and show wear. The sink was also an issue during my visit, it wouldn't turn off properly, and I had to fiddle with it before it finally stopped running. On top of that, I saw about three machines overflow while I was there, which caused some delays. My own wash cycle paused and had to be restarted by the attendant, which added extra time to my visit. I wasn't given a full explanation as to why, but I appreciated that she was doing her best to manage everything.Overall, despite a few hiccups with the machines, the cleanliness, space, and attentive service really stood out. It's the kind of place where you can tell effort is being put in, even if the equipment could use a refresh. With some updates, this spot could easily be a top tier laundromat in the area. Would I come back? Yes

The attendant yelled at me and accused me of causing a malfuncion in their machines by using the soap THEY provided.
