Have been bringing my clothes here for alteration since 2020 per my sister's recommendations. Today I brought a couple of dark woolen pants and an older pair of khakis that needed its tattered ends hemmed. $5 per pants is a good price. I told Nancy about a new pair of denims that could use a fit adjustment, she told me to bring next time. I'm pretty sure she can fix that too and keep me a satisfied customer! read more

Nancy's Alterations - Hemming supplies on the front desk - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - El Cajon, California

Last minute suit alterations for my out of town wedding. She was able to get it done in one day and was exactly what I needed. Pretty sure she only charged me like 10-15 bucks for both pants and jacket. 100% would use the service again. read more

My experience at Nancy's Alterations was unfortunately very disappointing. As a first time customer, I felt discriminated against and treated unfairly. The owner's behavior was quite rude she repeatedly questioned whether I would pay and insisted on cash payments despite initially agreeing to debit card payment. This experience left me feeling unwelcome, and I wouldn't recommend this shop, especially if you're African American. I also visited Mrs. Best Alterations after, and they were the sweetest people ever. They didn't give me any problems and helped me in under five minutes, which was a completely positive experience. read more

This spot is affordable and has a reasonable turnaround time for alterations. I'll be back. The pants looked great, worth the wait.

We have been using Nancy for years! My father in law recommended her to us and we have loved her service. Super quick and affordable!! We just recently have a wedding my husband forgot to pick up his suit and she called and waited for him. Thank you again for going the extra mile for us!! read more

I have gone to Nancy for well over 30 years. She is A+. She makes clothes (with a pattern) specializes in ladies evening wear. NEVER been disappointed. She can handle the most sophisticated to the simplest hemming job. read more

We went there for one easy task -- to sew the patches in the center. Nothing complicated was required. I thought anyone could do that if they had a ruler and knew how to measure the center. Even the old marks from the previous patches were far from the new patches. She removed the old patches from the jacket and sewed the new ones two inches crooked. read more

we took 3 pairs of pants to have them hemmed and taken in, all three pairs where hemmed but not at the right length and no of the 3 pairs where taken in she even had a whole week to do the alterations. we have used Nancy's before and she did good job but this time she dropped the ball. I do not recommend this place. For what they did, we where over charged. read more

I love her so much she always gives very affordable prices and does an excellent job. I always take my jeans to be shortened at the bottom and she always does a really good job. Would definitely recommend her! read more

Nancy is so quick, friendly, and reasonable! Every time we go in there she is prompt and attentive! She does a great job!

The lady does a good job, downfall is your paying in cash and she failed to let me know this the day I dropped off my items.

I went here with my friend who is visually impaired. When we entered with her guide dog, the lady working there told us the dog needed to wait outside. When I told her it's a guide dog and she needed to stay with my friend, the lady started fake coughing and pretending she was having an allergic reaction. When my friend explained that the dog is a standard poodle and is hypo-allergenic and wouldn't trigger an allergy, the woman continued to fake cough and wave her hand in front of her face. She was extremely rude and disrespectful to us. We attempted to explain the need for the guide dog but she kept fake coughing and continued to be rude. We tried to explain ADA regulations, but she did not listen. Pretty sure she violated The American Disability law. We obviously didn't give her our business nor ever will. read more

I have been coming to Ms. Nancy for about 7 years now. I was recommended to her by a lady at a clothing boutique because I needed some pants hemmed up for me for a concert the next night. Ms. Nancy had them done by the next afternoon with no extra charge! I was ecstatic as my other place I used to go would charge like $10+ for that service, IF they could even do it. I will never go to another alterations place as she is legit, kind, affordable, and fast! read more

Nancy did a great job on my pattern skirt; the length was too long but the cut was very symmetrical and difficult to just hem. Nancy had it ready for me in less than one hour and her fees are very reasonable. Super great service read more

Nancy is the absolute best! She is affordable and she is quick and her work in excellent! I drive all the way from Otay mesa to El Cajon just for her service! read more

I came to Nancy with my wedding gown I had just received and I was leaving for my wedding the next day. My dress fit-almost. Nancy added a hook above zipper in back of gown, and a couple extra loops as back of gown was draw string style. The dress fit beautifully, and she had it ready in an hour putting my stress of surprise wedding at ease. And she was more than reasonable. Thank you Nancy!!! read more

My family and I have been going to Nancy's Alterations for years. Over the years, Nancy has altered everything including casual jeans, prom dresses, and work uniforms. Considering this, I cannot recommend Nancy's enough. She is extremely sweet and personable; as for her work, it is extremely efficient and timely. Even after moving out of state, she was the only one I trusted to alter my clothes. Truly the best place and person to trust with any alternation needed! I hope that Nancy's Alterations is able to stay open for years to come! read more

I have been going to Nancy for 15 years and I don't know what I would do without her. She is quick, the cheapest around and I have always left feeling satisfied. When they were doing construction on the entire strip mall and she was out for a few months and I had a very hard time finding someone who matched her quality and prices. I ended up going to someone who charged double the amount and I was not satisfied. Nancy is truly the best! Also note: she is cash only. read more

Support the Mom and Pop shops. Nancy does excellent work.

Happy to report that Nancy's is back in the same location, no signage on the building but a neon sign in the window is easy to spot.

I've had a few pair of jeans altered here, great job, if you want the original stitching look, it's a little bit more, but worth it!

Found this on yelp and wanted to try it out. Hours open are good. I took in 2 pants to hem around a Tuesday and she said she would have them ready by Friday, so super convenient! Once I picked them up the work was well done! Pricing was great too, I paid $12 for both pants, one needed special sewing and the other just cutting. Will come back! read more

If I could give this place a zero, I most definitely would. The woman was EXTREMELY rude from the second I walked in. I showed her the pair of scrub pants that I needed to be fitted and she said "no, that's too much work. You shouldn't have bought them so big" and then shewed me out. Terrible, terrible customer service read more

Good place for alterations with fair pricing! I am usually too lazy for alteration, but as a shorty, its necessary sometimes. I am glad to have found this place. read more

Nancy is back and still awesome! The fire out her out of her location for a cutie months. She is back now. Same great service, prices and alternations! Go say hi :) read more

I was happy to see Nancy is back in business after a temporary closure. She treats us like family, and I wouldn't trust anyone else. Also, her prices are unbeatable! read more

I had my daughter's 8th grade graduation dress altered here. Nancy did an amazing job!

I went today to this place and to ask if she can fix a zipper problem I politely said good morning and told her about my bag and she rudely said no I can't do that so I left what rude service read more

A very frustrating and disturbing first and last visit to Nancy's. I began to tell her my needs but in broken English she continued interrupting, insisting she already knew what I wanted and there was no need to even try on. Regardless, I did try on. Her original measurements were off and what she did fix had to be corrected and was resewn. in a sloppy way. I left with less than quality alterations. Perhaps she should check her EGO at home at learn to listen to the paying customer. It just won't be me !!! read more
