This is my 800th review and it goes to Dana's Tailoring. It's rather fitting (no pun intended) to…read moregive a 5 star review such a milestone spot. Recently, I lost weight. It wasn't long before my jeans became too loose in the waist to be worn any longer so...time to go shopping for new jeans. As I've been a fan of LL Bean, I headed to a store. Even though a few years ago, LL Bean screwed up the pockets in their women's jeans, I did like the way they fit me. Once I had the new jeans, I set out to find a tailor who could fix the pockets by making them deeper. Much to my surprise, many of the tailors in my area don't do that work. Finally, I emailed 2 tailors to ask if they did such work. Dana was the first one to respond. She told me to bring them to her and she would see what she could do. FWIW, the second tailor answered much later to say she did such work, too, but by then I had gone to Dana. When I brought the 2 pairs of jeans to Dana, I was sure to bring along an older pair of jeans that had good pockets so she could see how deep I wanted the pockets to be. She was glad I had brought the old ones along. Then I hit a roadblock---she asked if I had brought along fabric for the pockets! Given that I hadn't used a tailor since I was in my 20s and that was to hem a dress, I was clueless. So...off to Jo-Ann Fabrics to buy material. Researching the subject, I bought a yard of cotton/polyester blend. I washed the fabric, then brought it to Dana. She said my jeans would be ready in two weeks. While I had hoped for faster turnaround, I know Dana is busy. I picked up the finished jeans yesterday. Today, I wore a pair and was wowed by the work Dana had done. They were done in such a way that they appear to be seamless. Plus they are slightly deeper which I don't mind at all! When I buy jeans again, I'm taking them to Dana. I had leftover fabric from the pocket material so that's one step saved. Even though from start (buying the jeans) to finish (getting them back), it took a month, it was worth the wait! Dana is very skilled and it's clear that she does a lot of business. When I picked up the jeans, someone was walking out with her finished items. Inside, there was a woman wearing a gown and waiting for Dana to take measurements. I highly recommend going to Dana if you need new pockets or any other tailoring work as her work is very high quality!

My friend and I went to several stores/boutiques and experienced the grueling act of trying on dress after dress only to find overpriced bad quality dresses or nothing at all. My friend purchased a dress she felt was "a steal" because she was told it was designer and loved it. Afterwards they added so many charges for every little item that she left with her dress trying to think of solutions. We found ZAKAA and found their atelier was on site - the designer helped my friend to rework her dress into what she wanted and when we got there we realized just how much she got ripped off when we compared her "designer" dress to ZAKAA's beautiful gowns. My friend could have purchased 2 customized dresses by a real designer than what she left with from this other store. ZAKAA even worked in an alteration package for my friend which let me tell you NO ONE would ever do especially for a dress that isn't theirs! She came up with money saving plans and work to make this dress my friend's dream dress. She literally took a piece of fabric dress that didn't even have boning into a masterpiece! Another upside to this experience was when it was my turn to purchase a dress I knew exactly where to go. I was able to put together a customized dress with the designer and have a packaged alternation deal, flat price for everything, that was VERY fair based on the insane amounts others quoted us. And don't let the front fool you, there's more items in the back as well! Thank you Zakaa and team

It's been almost three years since my wedding but to this day I can't get over what happened. To…read morestart, I had a very bad sales representative who took incorrect measurements, gave me incorrect information and started this mess which the owner and designer had little intention of fixing. The measurements for my bust were way too small. My chest was spilling out during the wedding and even after attempts and requests to fix the issue, the designer told me if I made any further alterations it would become a completely different dress than her design concept and would not do it. The sales rep told me the alterations were included , it was not, although I did like my seamstress and she did her best. Still it was on Me for not reading the contract, because it clearly was not included. The sales rep was incorrect in the timeline which made this all rushed. She said it could be done in 3/4 months which I was later told was very uncommon and likely lead to some of these issues. The sales rep I initially worked with was fired, but Zaaka had little interest in making up for these issues. What bothers me is all this with the veil cost almost $10,000 which is a lot for a dress and in the end, I didn't look great. The entire wedding I felt insecure because of the spillage in my chest, and the bodice being too tight. It was just too expensive to three years later still wish I went in a different direction.

It was muuuch more expensive than Costco but in my opinion very worth it since they are on my face basically every waking hour of the day. People recognize me by my glasses. They compliment them frequently. It's great. I came in today a year after I got them, and John (I'm pretty sure i have his name right?) immediately recognized me (possibly because of the awesome glasses) and fixed the minor issue i had been having. Very very thorough and awesome through the whole process. I recommend them if you've got the money to spare and you're looking for something unique!

During the facial wax, my face became extremely red, painful, and irritated, and I later required professional medical treatment where I was prescribed burn cream. There was no skin assessment or consultation before the service. When I expressed concern about how much my face was burning and how red it had become, I was told to apply cold water and was reassured that my skin was "just red" and not burned. I was also told it could be related to my menstrual cycle, which did not feel like a reasonable explanation. Wax was left on my nose ring and earring, and I had to remove the wax from my nose ring myself at home while my skin was still very inflamed. After filing a complaint with Fairfax County Consumer Affairs, I learned that the individual who performed my wax did not have a cosmetology license at the time of my service. This was a painful and distressing experience, especially for a facial treatment. I'm sharing this so others can be cautious and informed about who they trust with their skin.
