    Original dress - A lavender-colored formal dress with cap sleeves and pleated bodice details hangs on a wooden hanger in front of a white door.
    Silvia B.

    To make a long story short I cannot say enough good things: kind, efficient, and great pricing for the timeframe. But if you're interested in the details here they are: I had put off getting my bridesmaid dress altered for far too long because I was convinced nothing could be done to help salvage it. The silhouette simply didn't work on my figure, I didn't feel supported, and it had arrived too close to the wedding to exchange it for another option (the bride let us pick our dresses as long as they were in the correct color). It was now a week before the wedding and I was panicking - enter Yelp. I searched for Tailors near me and Nura's popped up so I reached out via message to see if what I needed was even possible and if they could fit me in that same day. The response was prompt and we made an appointment for later that afternoon. When I arrived I honestly didn't know what I wanted. I knew I needed it hemmed and I knew I hated where the bust line hit but I didn't think lowering it was possible. I also needed to make sure the straps held everything in place without cutting off my circulation. Nura was so patient with me and walked me through all my options. We decided on taking fabric from the hem to make a belt and create a new waistline. She assured me it would be ready that Thursday (3 days later!!!!) before I had to leave. Thursday came and I went to pick up the dress, I was hopeful but cautious since I felt I was asking for a lot. Well. I shouldn't have worried AT ALL because the dress came out better than I could have hoped. It looked like it had been made that way all along, for me so perfectly, and was still nice and comfortable. Nura literally redid the entire zipper to ensure everything was seamless and where it should be given the new silhouette and I wore it all day long from photos to the after part with absolutely zero issues. Safe to say I'll be coming here for all my tailoring needs from now on!!

    Excellent service! I needed a quick hem on some expensive jeans and it was done in less than an hour. I was able to have them measure the hem, head to the post office and home depot, then return and pick up the jeans and try them on.

    Nura did a wonderful job shortening my dress and with the extra material she made pockets in the side seams of the dress. Fantastic!!

    I have been bringing my not so delicate items here for cleaning. For my bigger items (like…read morecomforters and outdoor rugs for the balcony), every day wool coats, scarves, leggings, tablecloths/napkins and just basic items, I have brought them here. To date, this location is better than the one on Ashland in Chicago. Items I have brought in have been pressed and cleaned to my satisfaction. I took in my curtains from the balcony to have them washed and folded and they looked good. Prices are very good, $24.99 for a comfortable and that is cheap in my book. The area outside rug was under a $100 and way cheaper than some of the other places I go to. Because of the volume of items they do, from the looks of clothes and rugs in the place, this would not be someplace I would take something beaded or delicate in handling. But when you need that big and bulky stuff done, this is the location to go to for the price.

    I have had issues with this location in the past (they "misplaced" a couple of my items and it took…read moremultiple visits to "find" them), so imagine that it took me two YEARS to trust them enough to give them another try. I dropped off 3 suits here about a few weeks ago and got them back with no problem. Today was a much different story. I tried to drop off 3 pairs of jeans to be dry cleaned and was there very early (around 7 am). As soon as I walked in and saw the scowl on the cashier's face I knew it was going to be trouble. Went through the entire routine of giving her my phone number and verifying name. Then she says (with an evil smirk) you know this will be ready on Monday right?? Uh.... NO. Your website doesn't say ANYTHING about no same day on Saturday. I understand Sunday but really? Think that might be something you'd let people know ahead of time so they don't waste their time? Very bad impression y'all. You need to do better.

The guy kept repeating how he couldn't trust what I was saying like it was a he said/she said between me and the actual company doing the cleaning. 1) Your business is the front facing establishment I am doing business with - this is your responsibility. 2) he sent it back for free, which I was fine with - why the attitude? He made me mad, but it was unnecessary given we had a next step. When I went back to get it, it was almost all out, and he said he would send it back again, but again, it was the attitude. "This is the last time I will send it back for free" like it was my fault it happened - and at that point I'd already made up my mind I wasn't coming back regardless because of how he treats his customers. My husband went to pick up the shirt (it was his) and it was actually all out, but they started telling him how the stain wasn't pointed out the first time and he said that's because it wasn't there when it was brought here. They argued with him saying it was red sauce (no, it wasn't) and then another guy from the back came out swearing at him telling him he was a scam artist. We had arrived at a pretty easy solution, but they upped the tension each time to really piss us off with their attitude. Just be more customer focused!!

Easy Breezy is about a mile and a half away and since I didn't think about needing to wash until after 7, proximity was helpful. As has been noted, it's very clean. They also provide wifi for customers which is nice, since sitting in a laundromat is one of the lost boring tasks known to mankind. I was the last person out of the place at around 9:30 and the employee was vigorously washing all of the machines as I was finishing up. Prices range from about $4 to $11 per load as of August 2022, depending upon which washer you use: $3.75/20lb, 5.75/40lb, 7.75/60 lb, and 10.75/80lb. Drying is a quarter for 12 minutes. Last wash is at 8:30 and if you don't get your stuff out, it's subject to donation. They do drop-off service as well, starting at about $1.20 per pound. Delivery can be arranged as well.

There is ample parking out front, plenty of space inside to wait around or fold clothes, and a couple vending machines to satisfy your appetite. My favorite part is that all the machines are high quality and take credit card. It's so nice to not have to hoard cash for trips here, just swipe and go! There are also plenty of machines, so I've never had a problem with availability. Both the left and right walls are completely filled with dryers, so there are always plenty of empties to choose from. While there isn't a ton of stuff to do in the immediate area, I have been able to pop over to a neighboring Vietnamese restaurant for dinner while waiting. There's also a gas station across the street. Overall, I like coming here and feel like my clothes get well-cleaned every time!
