    Added the embroidered patch to the back
    Mark K.

    UPDATED January 27, 2025 Since there are no 12-step programs for leather motorcycle jackets or custom-painted helmets, I have a problem. I recently purchased yet another motorcycle jacket, this time one that was custom fit. But the maker F'd up on the sleeve length. It was 1.75" too long, so I looked like I was wearing my father's jacket. The issue is the sleeves are zippered and have snaps at the cuffs. So I knew this would be a bitch to change. May told me she could take the sleeve apart from the shoulder, gave me a VERY REASONABLE price and I said no. It's too much work. So I asked if she could remove the sleeve zippers, remove the snaps, and do a simple cuff on the sleeve. The price she quoted me was very reasonable. So I took the jacket to her. This is my third jacket, all leather that she has altered for me. When I returned to her shop, she was still working on it. I asked if I could stay and watch her, and of course, she said yes. As I watched what was involved in my 'simple' fix I thought OMG, I know SO LITTLE about what goes into this. So when she was done, I paid her 140% of what she quoted. She tried to fight me on this and negotiate with me. Nope take the effing money May, OMG you are SO WORTH IT. If a service or product is average I don't return. I'm now a three-timer with May. That says it all.

    May did a great job, she is very professional. I'm a small lady, my suits sleeves are always too long, tried other places too, but definitely May is most professional tailor I know so far. Thanx May.

    Before adding laces

    May provides great service to my alteration request. I got this dress and the neck line was way too revealing. She helped me find the trim/lace that would go well with dress. And she's also meticulous in tailoring the outlay to fit the body shape better, it's all in the details! I love how the dress turned out and will wear on my vacation! May is very professional, prompt and have a great eye for design!

    Very attentive to customer needs. She went to my elderly mother's home to do the fitting. Very skilled work.

    I meant to post this the first time I went, but absolutely have to now!…read more The first time I went I hadn't been to a tailor since I was a kid and was a bit nervous about what to expect as I don't think I always know what "well-tailored" looks like and I'm not the most fashionably knowledgable person to say the least. I was immediately greeted by Ali who treated me kindly, professionally, and guided me through the process with the immense range of clothes I brought from pea coats to jeans to suede jackets. Everything he did was fantastic and looks like it was hand-crafted for me. All prices were more than reasonable and I got all sorts of new things to wear. I should have posted a review then but I absolutely had to after my latest. On Tuesday, I tried on a dress I was intending to wear at a wedding that I leave for on Thursday and noticed to my dismay it did not fit how I wanted and was too low-cut. I immediately ran over in a complete panic to see if it was even possible to fix in... one day. It's a silk/satin fabric with a unique cut so I wasn't optimistic. Ali took it in stride and finished it IN ONE NIGHT. He did an incredible job, was super respectful and considerate when trying to figure out what adjustments to make, and I'm so grateful! Any time I ever have tailoring, I know who to go to and can't recommend him enough. THANK YOU!!!

    I have been a loyal customer of this dry cleaner for nearly 10 years and have trusted them with my…read moreclothes for many years. Unfortunately, today's experience completely changed my opinion of this business. When I came to pick up my clothes, I brought another garment that had a tiny loose thread. I politely asked if they could spare about a foot of matching thread so I could repair it myself. It was such a small favor that would have cost virtually nothing. The gentleman I spoke with refused and repeatedly told me to go buy it somewhere else, even after I explained that I had already looked but couldn't find the exact matching color. What disappointed me wasn't the thread--it was the lack of courtesy and consideration shown to a loyal customer. After almost 10 years of bringing my clothes here, I never expected such an unfriendly response to such a simple request. Great customer service isn't just about cleaning clothes--it's about treating people with kindness and making customers feel valued. A tiny act of goodwill could have left a lasting positive impression. Instead, I left feeling disappointed and unappreciated. After nearly a decade of being a loyal customer, I have decided to take my business elsewhere. I hope this business realizes that customer loyalty is earned not only through the quality of the work, but also through kindness, respect, and genuine customer service.

    I wanted to like this place because a friend recommended them to me my initial reaction was that I…read moredid like them because they had me try on the clothes and showed me how I was wearing one wrong instead of altering so I figured wow! Helping me to save money! However, when I did come to pick up my other dress that I did leave for them to alter, they didn't do much. They stitched 4 stitches per black cup onto my white dress. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to understand that using black cups on white material means it can show easily through the dress. 4 stitches means those stitches can get undone easily, things can get caught underneath, and it can tear far too easily. I paid $45 for shoddy work and didn't feel like getting charged more. I cannot recommend this place because the quality of work is simply too low to justify paying for it. The only good thing about this place: They are responsive over the phone. Parking isn't too hard to find but it is a little hidden so keep that in mind. Edit: still comfortable with this review though appreciate the reminder there was taking in the sides. However, I was not offered a different cup color and the work is still, not great for the cup.

    Jacquie was referred to me recently by my longtime seamstress who cannot take on new business right…read morenow. I brought two pairs of dress shorts to Jacquie to see if she could salvage them as I had gained weight and couldn't wear them. With the summer here, I didn't want to lose these shorts which are part of two important summer outfits I've long-depended on. Jacquie or her assistants did a terrific job on the shorts and saved these outfits! One of the shorts is a rare Hawaiian design. I will bring all my clothes that need alterations to Jacquie and look forward to doing more business with her!

    I've been meaning to take some clothes here for years but never get around to it. As I've gotten…read moreolder I've acquired some beautiful articles of clothing that are too delicate and irreplaceable to entrust to just anyone. I was amused that this operation is patronized by some Silicon Valley giants such as Ms Sheryl Sandberg-as I've learned reading other testimonials here. Well-if it's good enough for them, it must be good enough for me-albeit on a pay day. Their pricing is-yes, to the untrained eye, a tad pricey-but you get what you pay for. For special items, this is the place to be. I brought a silk dress that needed to be hemmed and the bust adjusted. I regret not remembering the lady who helped me but she was very friendly, gave me her expert recommendation, had a little chat and she sent me away. I did ask for a quote before I left and I felt it was reasonable given the delicate material and significant adjustments. I appreciated having a private room to myself and seamstress. I noticed they had shoes available of varying heights to simulate what it might look like alog with hair clips etc. Theres a platform they have you stand on so they can be at eye level to the hem if needed without crouching too low. These ladies/ folks are the real deal. Pro tip: there is parking available for customers past their shop in case street parking is complicated.
