I cannot stress this enough but Nico's Alternations is the best tailor in Boca Raton. The price is so reasonable with great work. 10/10

Magic Tailor & Cleaners - Hand Made Pet Clothes

Magic Tailor & Cleaners

I have used Magic Tailors & Cleaners 1942 NE 5th Ave, Boca Raton, since I moved to Boca Raton, and…read moreup until now they had always done a very good job. Unfortunately, my most recent experience was extremely disappointing. I brought in a cotton shirt that I have had cleaned there several times before without any issue. The care label clearly indicates that it should be washed, not dry cleaned, and that bleach should never be used. When the shirt was returned to me this time, the collar and underarm areas had noticeable yellow staining that was not there before. It appears the garment was treated with chlorine bleach or another improper process, which can react badly with cotton and perspiration-related residue and permanently set discoloration. I brought the shirt back, and they sent it out again. A week later it was returned in the same condition. At that point, I purchased the exact same replacement shirt and provided proof of the $77 cost. I was not asking for cash back. I simply requested a store credit toward future cleaning. That request was refused. What made this even more frustrating was learning that none of the cleaning is actually done on site. The garments are sent to an outside facility. When I spoke with the owner, instead of trying to make things right, he pointed me to the fine print on the back of the receipt stating they are not responsible. That response was very disappointing. A business should stand behind its service, especially when a loyal customer has trusted them for years. Mistakes can happen in any business. What matters is how they are handled. In this case, there was no real accountability, no reasonable effort to preserve goodwill, and no willingness to offer even a store credit for a damaged garment. Based on this experience, I would urge others to be cautious, especially with items that require proper laundering instructions to be followed carefully. If something goes wrong, do not assume this business will take responsibility.

This place is legit. Really great work and not too expensive. I brought my elderly mom's nasty…read morecover blanket that she had not washed since she bought it 6 years ago. She told me not to wash or dry clean it when she went out of town, as I expressed a desire to improve the smell of the room. She said if I ruined her pretty Florida blue blanket I better go into witness protection. But I'm a bad kid who doesn't listen, so I took it to this highly rated establishment to try my luck. The people taking it were very friendly and understanding of my desire not to have to flee the country because my mom's blanket got ruined. They did an AMAZING job- no dry cleaning smell at all!!! The blanket looked (and smelled) amazing! The price was even more amazing, and they folded it up and gave me a nice little carrier so it wasn't all over the place. My mother was pleased with the results as well, so I'm still with us, for those that were wondering.

This is the best dry cleaning and alteration service I have ever used. I have go to many down here…read morein South Florida but haven't really felt like they wowed me. When I found this dry cleaner I was just in the area and saw that they were new and moving in to the shopping center. I stopped in to talk to them to find out when they were opening for business and decided that I would try them out. Let me tell you, I won't use anyone else. I had shirts with collar stains and no on every could get them out. When I got my shirts back back and they looked brand new. The price was great and the turn around time was fantastic. I couldn't and wouldn't go anywhere else but Emma Rose. I highly recommend this business. Update after more visits: 9/6/18 I've been using this dry cleaner since they opened. I've used many different drycleaners since I came to Florida in 2004. Out of all the dry cleaners none of them I really had bad service at or any reason why I wouldn't continue using them but I've never had a reason why do use one more than any of the others until I came to Emma Rose's. The staff is the most professional I've ever seen at a drycleaner. The quality of the work sets the bar for what you should expect at a high-quality expensive drycleaner though this drycleaner is not expensive. I tell everybody I know about this dry cleaner because I'm always left with a great feeling when I pick up my items. I had shirts that had stains on the inside of the color from sweat from when I was doing business outside and I had other dry cleaners that could not get the stains out. Then I went to Emma Rose's I have no more stains. I would highly recommend this business for anybody that is looking for a do it right the first time quality and great price drycleaner. I gave five stars because I Wasn't allowed to give six.

THE WORST dry cleaning business ever!!!! My daughter and I spent close to almost $200.00 on 6…read moreitems of clothes. NOTHING was cleaned and there were still stains on the clothes and it DID NOT smell cleaned!! I seriously think this place just ironed or steam the clothes. I spoke to the owner, Zary/Zarie and she provided a poor excuse that the stains were old and couldn't be removed. ABSOLUTE NONSENSE and they are thieves!! If you know for a fact if the clothes could not be treated or cleaned, then communicate with us somehow or provide compensation. Bunch of thieves!! ALL the years I've been to other dry cleaners, I've NEVER had this bad of an experience. ANY stains, or smells residue were removed, without complications. My daughter and I went to this location/business because it was closed to home and my daughter already had an account here. Which she's been here once before. Well, NEVER again!! I've already advised this woman, Zary or Zarie that we'll NEVER do business with her again!!!! This review will be submitted on other forums and also Better Business Bureau.

My black canvas purse had torn and two other places didn't even want to try the repair. This shop…read morenot only completed the repair, but they went beyond the basic repair, matched up the metal rings to make the bag look more polished than it was when I first bought it, and sewed unobtrusive black leather patches over the canvas around the rings to make sure that the rings wouldn't tear through the canvas again. Some women have collections of purses in different sizes and colors that they accessorize daily. I don't. I seek out and acquire one sturdy but lightweight black fabric purse (with multiple pockets and compartments that can keep me organized) that I use all the time except for very dressy occasions, and generally, I use that bag for years until it's no longer usable. I set up the bag so that each pocket or compartment holds very specific items, and I become very accustomed to how it's set up. I hate having to change bags. This shop understood exactly what I needed, and went above and beyond. The next time I need that kind of repair, or any alterations, I'm coming back to this shop. The repair wasn't cheap, but it was worth every penny. They do excellent work.

Hem Over Heels expert tailor, Alex. came to my aid by snatching the waist and hemming it to the perfect length. He is truly masterful in his craft! The gown fits perfectly, and it is now very stunningly elegant Lena also tailored my back up gown... which I ended up wearing! It was the perfect length, and I was able to walk around the party gracefully and effortlessly.
