Sana is the lovely proprietress, and she greets everyone with a smile and can-do attitude. I have had multiple pairs of jeans hemmed here, and zippers replaced on items from skirts to my favourite wool winter jacket. Sana will put a rush on anything you need if necessary, though I have never needed anything quickly. She is capable and pleasant to deal with. Replacing a small zipper will run you around $8-10 and having some small alterations done will likely be around $10-$20. You can ask at the time if you're concerned about cost, though I have always found it to be very reasonable and much better than messing it up myself! You can also pay when you drop your items off or when you pick them up. There's a curtained off dressing room if you need to put on trousers before hemming or get advice on other alterations. I highly recommend this place as it's efficient and inexpensive!

I have brought all forms of clothing to her, from casual dresses, to dress pants, to jeans, to bridal gowns, to suits. As well as, brought clothing to be dry cleaned. The service is always amazing, timely, prices are fair and the fit of the clothing is always what I wanted. Janice is extremely friendly and kind and over the years she has made an effort to build and grow a rapport, which I really appreciate. Janice provides quality work, very knowledgeable and able to work with you and guide you on what's best for the fit of your clothing. I no longer live downtown Halifax, but any alterations, tailoring or dry clean needed, I only make my way to Janice. I strongly recommend. Keep up the great work Janice!!!

The man working was very professional and I was able to try on my pants in a little changing room so he could pin the correct length. The quality of the work done was great. The only reason I'm only giving 4 stars out of 5 is that I was told my pants would be finished two days later by 11am (I said I could pick them up in two days before noon, or I could get them the following week as there was no rush). I arrived to pick them up at 11:35am while on my way to work, and I ended up having to wait 5 minutes while he finished one of my pants in front of me. It wasn't a big deal, but if I I had come at 11am when he said they would be done then I would have waited 40 minutes or I would have had to come back to get my pants on another day. I would recommend this tailor, but I would suggest giving them more time to finish your items, even if they sound confident that they will have it done in a couple of days.

"Eek!" is the right descriptor here. Kim had a big ol' meltdown on me…read more Mike and I have been taking our dry cleaning and alterations to Kim at Fred's Tailoring for quite awhile now. Her work has always been good and she's always been friendly if a bit difficult to understand (she's Korean). However, we had our first problem with her work today and because of the way she handled it we will definitely not be returning under any circumstances. I had brought her a pair of dress pants last week to be hemmed and taken in at the waist. When I tried them on she first brought them in too tight and I asked her to loosen her pins, which she did. She marked them with chalk and pinned them. However, when I tried them on after the alterations, they were way too tight. I very politely told her so. Rather than simply let them out a bit, she LOST IT. I mean I wonder if I seriously witnessed a breakdown. She became very, very upset and kept repeating that she pinned them where I told her to. She rephrased it various ways, but all she was really doing was blaming the customer. For all I know she altered them along the first line she had chalked on my pants, which I had told her was too tight. Then she kept asking me over and over "How many inches? How many inches?" Meaning how many inches did I want them let out. Her English was becoming unintelligible by this point. I told her I don't know; I don't know how many inches she took in! "Half inch, three-quarter inch, HOW MANY INCHES???" I was torn between lighting into her (I was royally pissed by now) and backing away from the crazy. I chose the latter and picked three-quarter inches. She insisted on altering them again while we waited. Mike and I said nothing. She wanted me to try them on again. I said no thank you. She said "You okay, me okay." I said nothing. I chose not to poke the crazy. I paid for the alterations and got the hell out of there. Her prices are fair and her work is good ... but god help you if you have a problem. Heed my warning!

That tailor shop is painfully overwhelmed with work. Don't expect your pants to be done on time but you can expect to be overcharged for a simple hem. Fred's tailors is located in the Sobey's across from the Halifax Shopping Centre on Mumford Rd near the NSLC entrance. The prices much more reasonable and the work is just as good. My pants were always ready to pick up when they said they would be and I never had to bring anything back because it was done improperly. That makes them #1 in my books. They will even do a hem while you wait.

My grandmother used to take things here…read morewhen I was younger so when I needed a quick alteration done on a dress for my best friend's wedding I went here. I have to say that I've waited almost 6 months to write this review because I was just too angry to write it before - it wouldn't have been fair and I wouldn't have given the good and the bad. But here it is now... I needed some quick-ish work done on my dress. It had to be taken in 2 sizes (woohoo, weight loss!!). I had 3 weeks until I needed it back. The woman there said no problem, and "not expensive to do!". In retrospect I should have asked for an estimate but when someone says "not expensive" I anticipate it won't be expensive. So I went in, tried it on for her and she proceeded to pin it for me. The whole time we were doing that we kept getting interrupted by other customers coming to get their orders. I know she's running a business but when I'm standing in the middle of a tiny store, where everyone can see me, with half my dress pinned and I'm holding the other half up, I don't want to wait 10 minutes for you to serve someone who came after me. Take the two minutes, pin my dress, and THEN serve them. After that she gave me a slip, said 2 weeks and I went off. Two weeks later I came back to try on my dress. Well, it was too tight. Not too tight that I couldn't fit but tighter than I wanted. No matter, it wasn't a huge deal. She then proceeded to tell me how it was "much more work" than she anticipated and she had to "take it all apart" to take it in. And it would be "a bit more". By this point I was just ready to be done so I told her that was fine and asked what I owed. Brace yourself... $140. That is neither "not expensive" or "a bit more" than not expensive. That's almost what I paid for the dress itself!! I couldn't do anything except tell her I was disappointed and pay. She had my dress, she had done the work and now I owed her the money. I took my dress and left. On the day of the wedding it did look beautiful but had I known what a headache it was going to be and how expensive she was going to be I would have taken it somewhere else. I will not be returning or recommending this place to anyone. Ever.
