I came to this tailor about five years ago and had my Valentine Vegas wedding dress altered here back in 2020. They did such an amazing job at the time -- the fit was perfect, and I was really happy with how everything turned out. I recently came back to have a wedding guest dress tailored, but unfortunately, my experience this time wasn't the same. I requested a specific dress length, but when I tried it on, it wasn't altered to the length I asked for. On top of that, the price was much higher than I expected. It seems as if they just come up with random high prices. Because of this, I'll likely continue going to my other tailor moving forward. read more

I had a dress for a wedding I was in that did not zip up all the way in the back, it was slightly too small! I had no time to order another dress and it was a miracle the work they did at May Alterations!! The dress fit perfectly when I picked it up and it looked like it did when I ordered it. It was an expensive fix, but well worth the money spent for the incredible work they did. Highly recommend read more

I'm so disappointed with this business. I arrived to get my bridesmaid dress tailored. After being told one price, I was told another upon payment. After some back and forth with her coworker, they brought the price back down. When I went back to pick up my dress, there was an ink stain. I've NEVER worn this dress before and made sure to inspect before bringing it in. They were dismissive and told me there's nothing they could do and insinuated that I must have brought it in that way. I already didn't feel great dropping my dress off and to have to entire process end like this is unacceptable. Would NOT recommend this business if your are looking for professionalism and quality. read more

They tailored my son's pants. I love their service. I've been going there for years. They can fix anything!!!!

I have been coming here since I was in high school, and have had several ball gowns hemmed here. However, I would not call this alterations, it seems they only do hemming. The last time I came here last year to have a belt added to my dress and the lady in charge kept saying no, but the lady that helped me said she could. They had a discussion in their language and the lady that was helping me told me she would do it. And she did a beautiful job. And here we are again. The main lady there told me she couldn't do alterations to my dress. So it seems she prefers only doing hems and things of that nature. So please don't rely on them cause they seem do only do one type of alterations. read more

They've done great job on my alterations. I'm in disbelief and disappointed that May told me she can no longer alter my pants befits too many inches to take in. I told her I no so I'm will to pay more. She has refused, I'm well aware that she can do that. I just hate that her reasoning. She says I won't be able to pull my pants up. I told her , I was born with this shape and have been tailoring my clothes since I was 20, I'm 54, I know what to do and will not and have not returned to her if my zipper breaks. I know how to alter that myself. She still refuse me. read more

The stuff there is very nice and accommodating, always have my clothes ready on time I highly recommend this place

No time to chat, the employees are all busy helping customers. I took my dress to be hemmed, and before I could say anything she was escorting me to a dressing room. . She took the time to measure exactly what I wanted. A little pricey, but great work!! read more

They do an amazing job on whatever you give them. I've been using their service for the last 10 years and no compliant.

May Tailoring has been my favorite Tailoring since the 90s. I recently had to 3-piece suits tailored due weight loss. They did an amazing job as usual. I highly recommend May Tailoring!! read more

AWESOME!!! I ordered this very expensive dress. The material is "bandage." The seamstress here added a split in the back of the dress. ABSOLUTELY LOVE MY DRESS!!! The split made it easier to walk in and added an extra bit of sexiness to the dress! -Fast service - Great customer service -Very patient read more

She was the only local place I found that was open on a Saturday and that would do a same day skirt hem alteration. And I'm not talking about a regular simple skirt. We had a very flowy skirt for a Mexican folklore dance recital that needed to be hemmed. It was definitely work! But she had it ready for me within hours and I'm forever grateful because my daughter got to participate in her recital without any issue. I will definitely go back to her for all my alterations. read more

I decided to come in to ask questions. I had a few since I wanted to make an outfit for a specific event. I asked my first question and the person at the counter said it could be done. I asked a second question and she said no. Then she immediately started tending to other customers and ignored me. I waited at the counter. Then when she finished with the customers in the dressing room she walked past me to the people behind me and asked what she could to to help them. I said "Ma'am, I still had questions." She said "No can do." I said, "Thats fine you cant do that request but what about the first one I asked?" And she begrudgingly turned around and said, "Okay what do you want?" I don't understand how I could be standing there trying to get information for her to just walk past me and completely ignore me because she couldn't do a single one of my requests. I am honestly heartbroken. I've never been treated this way by a tailor. I have a hard time with social interactions because of my disability and so it was a very difficult encounter. I had to say "Never mind, I don't want your work" and walk away. I was going to start crying and needed to leave. I'm typing this from my car still shaken. I'm sure their services themselves are great considering everything I've heard, but I just can't understand that treatment. read more

I called in a panic to get a pair of pants hemmed for Christmas Day, and the owner delivered. I thought I would have to come back the next day, however she told me to come back in 20mins shocked I was... needless to say I was able to get some last minute shopping done and get my pants hemmed I will be back for sure. Thank you read more

Got a pair of work pants hemmed for $10. Got a zipper on the side of another pair of work pants added for $16. Quick service, took around 4 days, pick up was smooth and easy, well packaged. They charge $3 for card though, so I recommend bringing cash. Will be my go to tailor for the time I live in this area. read more

They lie and say they can't do any alterations that they can really do!! This place is suppose to be highly recommended! I can't believe the service I received and get turned away. I had this VERY stretchy formal dress w/zipper hard to zip up (one of those) and she said she could not zip it up and that I should get a bigger size dress! WTF!!! And what about changing the zipper? These formal dresses always have zippers that are hard to zip up! It had NOTHING to do with getting a bigger size dress! The material was very stretchy and zip could still sit comfortably in it OR even do cartwheels and somersaults and it still won't tear or break!! In this case, the alteration lady don't know what she's talking about! Zipper doesn't zip up- get a bigger size dress. Zipper no good-- Cannot change it!! So WTF??? I am not fat, obesed or have Dolly Parton breast! I mean do I have to have a flat chest or look like skeleton so they won't have a problem altering my dresses & make their job the easiest in the world? I TOO DAMMN TIRED & STRESSED OUT! I GUARANTEE I WILL FIND ANOTHER ALTERATIONS PERSON TO FIX THIS!!! read more

I paid 52.00 dollars to have 2 jumpsuits hemmed. One was not short enough it it needed corrections. They tried to charge me an additional 20 dollars for their mistake. I explained to this lady that I should not be charged period since she measured me wrong. Then she says $15. I paid in all $67 dollars for 2 jumpsuits to be hemmed which is absolutely outrageous. There is a cleaners on Sepulveda in the Home Depot, Albertsons shopping center in Carson that is much cheaper and more accurate with their hemming. Plus better customer service these people act like they don't want to communicate with you all they care about is money. I would not even have given them one star the deserve 0 stars. Learn better customer service please! read more

Efficient, Quick turnaround time, Excellent customer service. My family has used May for many years

Have to do this later. They just marked the hem of the dress for a wedding. Have not yet seen their work. They were recommended by the bride and my girlfriend who are both picky so i image they will be good. Good to know they are located by the south entrance of Carson Mall, right as you walk into that door. It is also close to the Food Court. read more

GOT FOOD OIL STAINS ON MY DRESS!!!! Came to this establishment to get a bridesmaid dress altered for a wedding that I'm in at the end of the month. There were three ladies in the back eating when I walked in. My dress was fresh out of its packaging when I brought it to the store. One lady did my measurements and all went well until I was checking out. After I took off my dress, I gave it to the seamstress while I continued to get dressed. When I came out of the dressing room, and was getting ready to checkout my dress had what appeared to be large oil stains on the front. I questioned the seamstress on what happened with my dress within the minute of me handing her my dress and me finishing up in the dressing room. The seamstress implied it was just water that came from the counter top and it was also was a stains from my hair. The stains clearly smelled like grease and WERE NOT there when I handed my dress back to her. In clear site, looking in the back at their work stations I can saw containers of Wing Stop!!!! I confronted them about the food in the back and they DENIED IT and continued to deny it and blame it on me. There was an extreme lack of professionalism and this whole situation was disastrous. read more

I came to get my bridesmaid dress altered because it was too long. I proceeded to give deposit from my card but yvonne asked me to go to atm to give cash which i was ok with cuz I banked at Wells Fargo. So i withdrawal $40 and have Yvonne the $40 and she said it was gonna be $25 deposit. So as she's writing on the receipt of what i was giving. i asked if I could send the rest of the bridesmaids there she said yes and proceeded to give me business cards but i told her I would take a pic of one and send to the other 10 girls via text. Walking away I realized once i got back to work when i didn't see any cash in my wallet that Yvonne never gave me the change. I looked in my wallet and saw she gave me the receipt but no change. I called her to tell her and she tried to say she did. Now I got ripped off by a old lady memory for $15! If that's the case i could have went to David's bridal and paid the $60 to them originally. She lost out on $450 from the rest. Smh. If I didn't have to get to work I would have drove back read more

My daughter told me about this place. She was a last minute replacement for a bride's maid. The other bride's maid wore size 12 and my daughter wears 5. May Alterations took the dress apart and re-sized it for my daughter. It was a perfect fit! So when I needed some repairs, I decided to drop in at May. I stopped by today to have a quick repair to my cycling jacket with zip-off sleeves. The zipper for the sleeves needed to be resown. I was greeted with a smile and, since she was waiting on another customer, she said she would be right with me. Music to my ears! Acknowledge my presence! She quoted me $5 and said she could do it right now. Great! I did 10 minutes of window shopping and returned to two nicely stitched zippers. read more

Incredible work. They have made a name for themselves in Carson. They have been in business for almost 30 years in the mall. Service is quick and afforadable. May is the sweetest and most honest lady. She will tell you if something is UGLY and will not repair it LOL I appreciate her honesty because they aren't all about the money. It's about their customers and that's why they've been in the mall for so long!! The Best!! Highly recommend read more

This place sucks! Don't make the same mistake I made. I had 3 pairs of trousers hemmed to 28 3/4" inseam. Paid $7.00 per pair. When I picked them up and tried them on, one pair was perfect, 28 3/4". The other two pairs were too long. One was hemmed to 30" and the other pair to 29 1/2". When I requested the owner to fix them, she raised her voice and told me that I had to pay, again, to fix them. I wish I could give this shop zero star but one star is minimum. AGAIN....DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY IN THIS SHOP. read more
