I have a regular tailor but he was on vacation when I needed a party dress to get hemmed so I tried this place out. The guy was nice but direct. He told me I was lucky that I could get the dress the following weekend as I only have him a few days. The place is similar to how other tailoring places are - clothes neatly hung and as clean as they could be. They did a great job with my dress and even advised me on how I should care for it because of the material. The price is slightly higher than my regular tailor but it was still fair considering it was like a rush request. Overall, I'm a satisfied customer and will recommend this place. One thing to note is make sure you bring cash at pick up. read more

Excellent service with incredibly reasonable prices. I came in needing alterations on a dress for a wedding. I had no idea how the dress needed to be altered, just that it wasn't right in the bust. We went over some options, and I brought in foam cups I ordered from Amazon per his rec. Came in on a Wednesday, was able to pick it up Friday. When he told me the cost, my jaw dropped and I said "You should probably raise your prices!!!" Will definitely be back. *CASH ONLY!!!* read more

Good job! I got 2 blazers sleeves shortened. It was a bit pricey but the job was done right and I think the charges were in range for this area. read more

Good service, easy to communicate with in person/on phone, very busy which I take as a good sign. Give yourself time for the alteration due to demand & cash only read more

Look no further for the perfect tailor. I wouldn't trust any other tailor--work is excellent and prices reasonable and on top of that friendly service. read more

I come here for all of my needs. The work is flawless and it's always such a great experience. When I was getting married I knew I would only trust Azam. My dress and my wife's jacket came out even better than expected. Thank you Azam for always taking care of us and always making it the best experience, when it's a big event or just another pair of my pants :) The value, service and quality is next level. read more

Nick's Tailor - Tailored YSL jacket - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - Manhattan Beach, California

My daughter's school uniform skirts needed to be hemmed. Nick's Tailor is close to my job, so I decided to try them out. It's a tiny business located on Manhattan Beach Blvd. The only parking is street metered parking, so make sure to bring some change. While entering, I was greeted by an older man. I think he's the owner. The place itself is basic, nothing fancy, which is fine. I gave him my skirts and was told they'll be ready in a week. That was fine; I wasn't in a hurry. As I was leaving, I saw a sign that said cash only. Luckily I saw it, or else I would have tried to pay with a card (I never have cash on me). But I feel that he should've mentioned it to me. He also didn't give me a price, I didn't ask either, but I feel usually, that's something you mention. When the week passed, I went to pick up the skirts. I remembered to bring cash! But, I was unsure how much to bring because he didn't tell me. Ugh! I thought maybe $30 would cover it ($15 for each). Well, I was way off! It cost $50! My hubby and I were like, wtf! Haha. My fault for not asking. But I feel that $50 is a bit crazy for just two basic skirts. So make sure you ask how much! Anyways, the skirts came out fine, and it seemed he did a good job. But I still feel like I was overcharged; maybe that's why he didn't tell me the price when I dropped off. If that's the case, that's not nice! This kind of left a bad taste in my mouth, and I am unsure if I'll come back. read more

I came in with my sherwani and he was knowledgeable about the sizing and look and made suggestions and tried his best to extend my legs (since they're basically tree trunks) and make it fit well. The prices were reasonable and he was very patient and understanding of what I needed read more

Nick's Tailor is the best! I brought a long skirt with an elastic waist band and complicated fabric pattern/pleating to him, hoping to tighten it at the waist so it would sit high waisted. Despite the complications of the task, the skirt was finished quickly and at a fantastic price. I will be sure to bring all my future tailoring needs here, as this is a place you can trust!! read more

Service is excellent. He asks you how you want to tailor your clothes. Recommendations are also provided since he has a great eye for the right fit. Don't be a last minute person. He is a one person shop but I will definitely be returning. Highly recommended. Would recommend to a friend read more

Excellent local tailor! Will use again. On time and priced right. Highly recommend Nick.

Azam is amazing. I had a rush job I needed (same day) and he was able to fit me in. He did the buttonholes by hand, beautifully, with a smile. I was so pleased to get my item tailored in the timeframe I needed it. I can't recommend him more highly. read more

Owner Azam is THE best! He doesn't make a big deal out of what I ask for - he can do almost anything, and he does a stellar job of it! Not only is he a fantastic listener and tailor - he gets it right without fail - , but he seems like a genuinely good human being. read more

I'm always protective over my denim -- it's hard to find a good pair of jeans! So when it came time to get a couple waists taken in and hems brought up, I saw all the great reviews for Nick's and brought them here. He could not have been nicer or done a more seamless job! I was so impressed. Additionally, I asked to pick up one pair 3 days early in hopes to wear them to an event over the weekend. He kindly agreed, and when I arrived, he surprised me with all my pairs completed early -- and beautifully, at that. With his alterations, it feels like I have a whole new closet of denim! I will definitely be coming here for alterations in the future -- I find his price very reasonable in order to feel a garment is basically custom for your body. Thank you!! read more

Fast reliable service fair price for alteration. I will use them again for all my needs

I have gone to Nicks for years now The quality is great! The turn around is quick Prices are very good! read more

Nick's Tailor - Wedding suit tailored at Nicks Tailor - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - Manhattan Beach, California

Inconsistent pricing practices, the lack of a published price list, and unfriendly service are my reasons for giving this a one star review.

Azam was wonderful to work with! I had to get a bridesmaid dress hemmed, and I wasn't feeling sure about how many other alterations I should get in order to feel good in the dress. Azam asked me if this was a dress I would ever wear again and I said, "NO!" He then advised me to save my money and only get the dress hemmed, and not to stress about it. He did a perfect job on the hem, and was very kind in wishing me a fun time at the wedding. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for an honest and efficient tailor. read more

I have been a customer since Azam purchased the shop. He has old world skill and competence. I would never take my clothing anywhere else Azam knows exactly how I like things and tapers my skirts like no one else. ANDEE TYTELL read more

Incredible work. A friend of mine had a ripped duvet cover, high end quality and I was nervous about having it repaired. Azam greeted me and knew just what to do - it was a large and awkward rip on delicate material, but he was confident he could fix it, and I trusted him. When I picked it up, not only had he repaired the giant L-shaped tear, but 2 small other holes. It looked perfect! You could hardly tell anything had happened to the duvet cover. Azam knows what he's doing, and his craftsmanship is excellent. Right across from a trader joes, and around the corner from a fluff n fold, very conveniently located! Best tailor in town. read more

They did a great job on my suit alterations. They were able to complete the service within 24 hours but they charged me a heavy premium of $85 for hemming my pants and bringing in the arms of my suit. Not much work needed but the up charge was for the quick turnaround. I'd go back for a reasonable price. read more

I purchased two suits at the Nordstrom annual sale and wanted to find a local tailor to handle the alterations. Luckily I went to Nick's Tailor and Azam did an excellent job hemming the pants and shortening the jacket sleeves. The price was reasonable and the suits were ready when he said they would be. Azam was patient and a pleasure to work with. read more

I was new to the neighborhood and didn't have a go-to tailor, which was a bit scary since I needed someone I could trust my wedding dress with. I brought my gown here for alteration and the whole experience end-to-end was GREAT. I had two fittings and my requests were integrated perfectly. The dress fit my just perfectly and I couldn't be happier with how it looked on my big day. My price here was less than half of the estimate I was quoted at a different tailor and the quality was absolutely top notch. I will absolutely be back for future alteration needs. read more

Great job on pants alterations even completed in a timely manner will go back for other clothing alterations

I was in a pinch and needed one button sewn onto a dress to wear that same night. I googled tailors and the first one I called said she didn't have time for me. Nicks was second on the list and he answered right away. He was very nice and told me to come in right away. When I got there I told him I didn't even have a button and he told me not to worry about it and sewed it on in about 2 minutes. So thankful he was able to help me out and because of this I will be using his services whenever I am in need! Thank you!! read more

I'm so glad I found this place. I needed a tailor that could turnaround two pairs of pants within 2 days. I definitely do not recommend asking any tailor for such a quick turnaround as I know I am not their only customer but if you are like me and have to catch a last minute flight and are need of hemming, I would 1000% suggest Nick's. Not just because he was able to complete such a quick turnaround but he was so kind and gracious about it! I really appreciated that type of service and how he treated me. read more

I have had several pairs of slacks and two or three sport coats tailored at Nick's. His prices are reasonable and his services excellent.

Azam is not only a great tailor but a very kind and delightful person to work with. I went in four times to continue perfecting my wedding dress alterations and he was patient and attentive each time. I was extremely happy with the outcome and thought the service was a great value. I will definitely be going back for all future alterations. Thank you !! read more

Azam is the best tailor I have ever had. He is super fast and does a great job. Best choice in the South Bay!

I have been using Nick's for almost 25 years. Beyond just hemming pants, Azam has modified ski clothes, made curtains and table runners, and customized shirts for me. I trust and rely on him like I do my accountant and mechanic. Sometimes after the work is done I change my mind, and he handles those changes with a smile. He's a heck of a nice guy too. read more

I picked up my altered pants today and Azam did his usual great job with good value pricing!

I saw all the great reviews and tried out Nick's Tailor for a dress I was wearing to a wedding and to fix some holes in my jeans. Both turned out fabulous. I brought a picture of how I wanted the dress to look and he matched it perfectly (even had me stand the same way the model was standing in the picture). So excited I have a new tailor! read more
