Stay away from this place at all costs. I brought a SHEIN dress in to get altered. The owner tried to charge me $2500 to cut the length. After I told her she was ridiculous she started slurring inappropriate racist comments about my race and she blocked her door from me leaving. It was a very scary cringe situation. read more

Alterations, hemlines, tailoring-she does it all impeccably! She is a seasoned pro who has a colorful history and years of experience.

STAY AWAY STAY AWAY went because the reviews seemed hopeful but would like to warn others so they're not shattered. This is a picture of the bathing suit bottoms that I asked to be hemmed. They're not even salvagable. When going to leave she withheld my clothes from me demanding payment. I have since taken my clothes to another seamstress who was appalled at the work that was done calling it sloppy. read more

Did a terrible job on my niece's prom gown hem. Very expensive too. Her hem didn't hold and was a complete mess. read more

I went to Nailes for a simple hem on long dress I was wearing as a wedding guest. She charged $155 for the hem and it was still too long. The dress itself cost less than $100. I would definitely look elsewhere. read more

She destroyed my daughters Prom dress. It's to late to fix! She charged $280 dollars and used white thread and glued the dress ! My daughters dress was hot pink. She was rude and said it was our fault. She refused to admit the damage she had done to the dress. read more

I took my wedding dress to Nailes for alterations that included hemming the length, taking in the sleeves/bust, and sewing in bra cups. They did a horrible job. It was unwearable after their alterations. The top of the dress was falling off of me, the bust came out at least 6 inches from my body, the bra cups had 4 little stitches on each corner instead of being sewn in appropriately. Instead of cutting the lace sleeves and sewing them appropriately, they just rolled the inside seam up and sewed it together leaving a large bulge going the length of the sleeves. The hem had strings hanging from it and was still too long. All of this for $700!!!! We ended up having to find another tailor that could fix it quickly the day before my wedding. I don't recommend taking anything to this place. They overcharge and underperform. They nearly ruined my wedding. read more

A HUGE thank you to Naile for the beautiful alterations on my bridesmaid dress! I went to Naile two weeks ago to get a bridesmaid dress altered for a wedding that I will be in next month. Naile was incredibly kind, listened to what I wanted done, and made further suggestions on what would look best for me. It only took a week for the alterations to be made, which I was expecting a longer wait period. As I was on a trip when the dress was ready, I picked it up today and was so happy with the final result. Naile crafted the dress to fit my body perfectly. It was well worth the price of the alterations given her expert craftsmanship. I will be recommending to family and friends and will absolutely return with future alterations! read more

Very quick, pleasant, and affordable! I was able to get alterations on a bridesmaid dress in 3 days!

I called to scheduled an appointment for alternations on my fiancé's suite for our wedding. The woman I spoke with was very kind and accommodating. I told her we are getting to this task late in the game and she helped scheduled an appointment at our earliest convenience. My fiancé arrived early and the sweet lady (owner?) lead him into the fitting room. After a quick assessment she declared that the suite fit him perfectly and she didn't recommend any alterations- whoever she would press his suite free of charge!!! We were pretty taken back by her honestly and compassion! Highly recommend and will return with more business in the future!! read more

Not a good experience. Was given an estimate for a hem and letting out a wedding dress for my daughter. Also, went in for an estimate for my dress. This was ten weeks before her wedding. Went back a month before wedding and daughter's dress was not altered in the chest area and my dress was still tight. My daughter was told that the estimate given to her was incorrect and she needed to pay an additional $400.00 to let her dress out. We gave her time to fix this and went in two and half weeks before her wedding only to have my daughters wedding dress fixed with an elastic piece with sequin. The buttons were crooked and her dress is ivory and the elastic was white. My dress was also not fixed and was still tight. Needless to say we paid for the work and were forced to go a business nearby that is currently working on the dresses and should be ready this coming week. I went back to Nailies to let her know about the issues that she did not address and told her I wanted some of the money back. She initially backtracked but she did give me a portion of the refund. She nearly ruined my daughter's wedding. I would not recommend this business for any alterations. read more

"Once you find a good tailor, you must never give his name away - not even under the threat of bodily harm." ...So, I guess I am breaking this rule. Yelp, you've been good to me, and I guess the secret is out anyway, so no real harm is done. Nailes is terrific. It was like going to visit my grandmother, she was tutting around making sure my suit was perfect. She was very friendly, talking to me, and apparently remembered my brother, who had come in a couple days before. She was also very fair, I was there to get my shirt taken in, I thought the jacket and pants fit well but asked her to take a look and let me know if there was anything that she thought should be changed. She told me that the jacket and pants needed no alterations. She asked helpful questions, and was able to explain to me the tailor translations of the changes I was looking for. $40 for the the alterations to the shirt, plus getting the suit, shirt, tie, and pocket square pressed. read more

Nailes is an excellent tailor, very skilled. She is friendly, no language barrier and listens to the customer. She does it all (hemming, leg tapering, waist suppression, take-outs/take-ins, etc.). The pricing is reasonable for the quality produced. Most recently, her colleague (young guy in his twenties/thirties) did some work for me, great job! It is nice to see future generations taking up tailoring as a profession. I'm a fan. read more

I've thrown out 2 shirts she tried to make from a men's regular fit to a slim fit. She's very hard to understand. This is in contrast to the men's clothing shop, which is far more reliable and communicates clearly. read more

I've been going to Nailes for about a year. She did a nice job of hemming several dress slacks. I then brought in a suit and a another jacket to be tailored. She did the pants too short, forgot the sleeves on the jacket and the other Brooks Brother jacket which had a fringe on the bottom was pulled poorly up into a seam that she adjusted. I pointed that out to her, and she went back and fixed the 2 jackets. The bill was around $120 for 1 pants hemmed, 1 jacket hemmed, 1 jacket taken in at the back seam. I then took a pair of seersucker pants i bought at a tall shop, and then didn't get back there for 3 months. Understandably she can't hold on to items forever, but when we couldn't find them, she said maybe she had sent them to Goodwill, which she will do after 4 months. I then found them in a pile and she said they were her daughters pants. They could not have been as they had the label from the tall girl store, and they had been hemmed for a person about 5'4, and i'm 6'. They had been worn for quite some time. I'm going to try elsewhere. read more

The seamstress is a real professional. She knows what she's doing and the clothes came out amazing. It only took a week for 6 dresses to be hemmed. Her price was good for professional work - about $30 per dress. Now my clothes fit me the way they are supposed to. read more

Do not go here for bridesmaid alterations!! Expect to pay $150 for a simple hem alteration and a single strap adjustment. Upon initial consultation she said she wanted to take my left strap up about half an inch for a better fit but the the strap was still falling off when I wore it during the ceremony. Additionally, my dress had a damaged hook & eye and she said she was going to fix it. She reattached a new hook, but there was no eye, so it that was useless! Make sure you ask the price clearly before she finalizes any card payment because she will swear she does not know how to void a transaction. After all these years of business, that's hard to believe...There are other places that will do a way better job, will be honest and upfront with you and above all be a fraction of the price! read more

I had a wonderful experience at Naile's shop. My mom recommended her as she had also been a customer and was pleased with the service and results of her alterations. I needed a dress hemmed for an upcoming wedding. Naile had it done within a few days and the end result was perfect. Not only is she a professional, but her prices are fair and she is so very sweet. She even helped me out to my car with my dress because I had my children with me. I will definitely be using Naile's services again in the future and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for alterations. read more

I took a bridesmaid dress here for a simple alteration. Naile is very nice, hands down, a sweet older woman. However, she seems pushy and rushed and didn't really listen to what I was describing that I wanted done. She kept shushing me and basically overruling my requests with what she thought was best. It turned out that the dress was barely altered at all and was still much too baggy in the areas I had tried to explain I had wanted smaller/tighter. Naile also basically told me she didn't like doing certain kinds of alterations ("too hard") and used that to justify not altering the dress how I wanted it. I didn't have enough time to take the dress elsewhere so this was disappointing. Also, the clothes REEK of cigarette smoke. I don't know if it's the new shop she moved into that smelled like smoke, or if she actually smokes in the shop or around the clothes, but even after several dry cleaning sessions the dress still smells of stale cigarette smoke. Also, I took a few pairs of pants here in the past and she's fast, but the hems are very loose and come undone after wearing only once. It's disappointing because I want to support a local solo woman shop owner but the quality of the work and the experience is always problematic, while the costs are very high. If you need something simple and done quickly, I would recommend this shop because Naile is beyond sweet, but for anything important I would be cautious. read more

Naile is wonderful! I was wearing a special occasion dress for a wedding dress and it was two large in the torso and too long. In about a week she was able to fix everything and now it fits perfectly. Even better, she is an incredibly sweet and kind person. read more

Nailes is a fantastic place to get your clothes altered. I recently stopped in to have a suit taken out and she did a great job. Her attention to detail was superb and she even found a few more spots that needed adjustment. The suit came out perfect. She's also a very sweet lady. I will definitely return again. read more

Nailes is fantastic! She listened to everything I said and made adjustments exactly as I requested. I'm so glad I found her and I plan to bring all future garments here. read more

Nailes is awesome! She is the sweetest ever! Her work is top notch and prices are more than reasonable. Best tailor and overall just a wonderful experience. I will never go to another tailor in this area! read more

I had last minute alterations for a delicate dress and she did an amazing job. She finished alterations in one day and very friendly and reliable read more

Took my daughters Junior Prom dress to be hemmed, Spring 2015. I had no referral, but googled her and found a few good reviews. We absolutely LOVED Nailes. She is extremely warm and friendly. Her prices were MORE THAN HALF less than what the dress store wanted to charge. She even offered to make a purse, handmade from the leftover dress fabric to match the dress. Customers came in with regular clothes alterations while we were there, and they all seemed to be treated like family as opposed to regular customers. I recommend her to everyone. read more

Found this company online rated well and brought clothes here like my suit and some pants. They were great and they were fast. Hard to find a good place like this. Its in a clothes store in the front so dont get confused when you arrive at the store. read more

Nestled in with a barber shop and suit store. Came here to have our best man and my dad's suit tailored. The suit for the best man had a lot of work to be taken in and hemmed. My dads suit only needed to be hemmed for the pants and jacket. There's a small space for you to change into the clothes and she will pin in the places to make it look good with little direction (unless you have personal preference) She did a good job and the guys looked great for the wedding. She is a sweet lady and definitely has some entertaining life lessons she will share with you. She also accepts credit cards! read more

Excellent service! I was a new customer who went in for last minute alterations, and she was extremely pleasant and helpful. She did them right away and very well, and at a very low cost! I will be returning, and would recommend to friends and family. read more

Nailes is a great seamstress who is sweet and competent. She works quick so if you need something done fast she would be great for you. Her work is good, but she is VERY over priced. She charged $110 for a simple bridesmaid dress hem. I called and asked what the price of a hem was and she said she needed to see the dress. So I brought the dress in and she said I needed to try it on before she could give me a price. When I tried it on she said she needed measurements first. Finally after all the measurements she told me $110. To compare, there are 6 other bridesmaids all of which paid between $50-70 for a hem of the same dress. When I told her this, she said this is what she always charges and it is non-negotiable. Which I thought was strange because if that was her price why did she not tell me that on the phone or all the other times I asked. She also required full payment BEFORE the work was done. Looking back, I should have left at this point but I am new to the area and she had the best reviews and she already did all the measurements. She is nice, the work is good, but expect to be overcharged. read more

I had two sport coats altered. One the collar seam fell apart, and I went to another tailor for the repair. I thought the prices were high, and the work fair to poor. read more

I had a last minute rather large alteration to be done. Nailes was very professional and very friendly. She did a wonderful job and although she was extremely busy she had my dress done in 3 days. The price was extremely reasonable and I highly recommend her for any alterations you may need. read more

Naile is an expert tailor whom I've been going to for several years now. She is quick and knows what she is doing. She is also a very sweet and caring person. read more

So amazing!! I took a gown here that I needed to get done very very quickly. I had taken it to a cleaners/alterations place before hand for my prom to get it taken in. The original place I went to took off only one hanger strap and didn't put it back on, barely took it in, and messed with a lace overlay that was supposed to be sewn down but when I got it back it wasn't sewn down anymore. Long story short they basically made it worse. I paid a lot of money for the dress and it was treated so poorly and it cost me an arm and a leg. HOWEVER I needed to wear the dress again for a pageant and I knew I couldn't go out on stage and wear the dress in the condition it was in. I took it here, she finished it in just over a week (compared to a month and a half), and when I came out of the dressing room she knew EXACTLY what I needed done before I even said anything. She could tell my dress was expensive which 1. Shows she knows what she's talking about and 2. Knew that she had to treat it with care. She has such an amazing attention to detail and you can just tell she really cares about the quality of her work and takes pride in it. No to mention she charged me less than the first place and the first place did less than she had to do. On top of that, she even threw in an entire spool of thread and a needle so if I needed to fix any loose beading I could. I highly highly highly recommend coming here for any kind of alterations. She's just so amazing not just in her quality of work but also her personality, very sweet and caring. There's not enough good things I can say about this place to do it justice! Just so amazing!! read more

Ladies do not take your dress here! This place royally ruined my bridesmaid dresses and charged $120 to do so! My bridesmaids had already invested $300 in the dress plus the $120 that they charged, only to have to pay a true seamstress another $100 to fix the problems this place created. Very disappointed in the work and price. Instead of altering dress properly this place chose to tuck and sew very haphazardly. After pointing out the job was not done properly I was told the manufacturer ruined the dress. Not professional and not honest. Very disappointed in this place and will never go back. read more

This was the first local tailor I have visited and could say I was completely satisfied with the results. If you are looking to have your suits made more trim-fit, this is absolutely the place to go. Naile is very friendly and does her job very well. I found the prices to be fair for the quality of work done. read more

Such a sweet lady and amazing prices! I needed a 3 layer bridesmaids dress altered from a size 16 to a 6 and feared what it would cost. She only charged $60 which seemed extremely reasonable considering the amount of work that must have went into the alterations. read more

Naile is the best! I have never had anything altered, but through word of mouth heard she was really good. I went in and discovered such a beautiful, wonderful human being in addition to being an amazingly talented tailor. Not only was my dress was ready when she said it would be, but I danced in it until 2:30am without having stepped on it! Great job and will definitely be coming back. read more

I went to Nailes to alter my suit that I recently purchased. She is extremely nice and does a really amazing job at an affordable price. Walked in and after putting on the suit she automatically saw what needed to be altered. It was a easy process. read more

So friendly and excellent at what she does. I was very pleased with her customer service. She was a delight and also very reasonable. I took three women's suits and a pair of pants to be altered and I was very happy with her finished work on all of them. Found her through other positive reviews that I found online online so I wanted to pass along another great review for Naile. :-) read more

Nailes is TOP of the line as a tailor! She is kind, helpful,skilled, and reasonable price! I could not have found a better option. Only problem was with the man who said "he owned the building". He was rude in the way he spoke to me and heard him treat other people the same way while I was there. Naile, THANK YOU and as always great work! read more
